Reading

WALT: Record information, useful information for integrated learning.

I learned star nurseries are enormous clouds of dust and gas called nebulae.

Here is an example of my learning: most stars are to small to shine as brightly as our sun. Instead they are red dwarfs, cool stars that burn very slowly.

Next time I will try to record more information.

Year 4 camp

I learned how to play Foxes and Hounds.

The best part of camp was sleeping with my friends.

I enjoyed having fish and chips for tea.

If teachers could change something it would be: nothing because I really liked how it went.

Athletics

WALT: Scissor kick over the high jump bar and onto the mat.
I learned that to be successful and land on your feet you have to scissor kick.
Here is an example of my learning: Start from the side and run around in a curve and then scissor kick over the bar and onto the mat.
Next time I will try to scissor kick better.

Reading Strategy Term 3

WALT: Make an inference.
I learned how to make an inference properly.
Here is an example of my learning: Sophie Pascoe is a six time Paralympic gold medallist and has been coached for 14 years.
Next time I will try to get more than 9 pieces of information from the text.

Maths Term 3

WALT:  Order fractions using the same denominators.

I learned that it is easy to do once you get the hang of it.

Here is an example of my learning: 5 sixths are bigger than 4 sixths and 7 eighths are bigger than 6 eighths.

Next time I will try ordering fractions with different denominators.

My Butterfly Mosaic Art

WALT: Create a mosaic picture using pastel and Indian Ink.

S.C: use chalk to break the picture into pieces and use colour effectively.

I learned to make the chalk wider when I was drawing on the paper so it was easier to use Indian ink.

Here is an example of my learning

Next time I will use the pastel colours more effectively

 

My Mihi

WALT: Introduce ourselves in Te Reo

I learned that Otautahi means Christchurch in Te Reo
I achieved my goal because I can introduce my parents and my friends.

Here are some of my sentences:
No otautahi ahau, Ko Paula toku mama, and Ko Silke and Zoe toku hoa.

Next time I will try to say my mihi without the paper version.

Reading

WALT: Compare similarities and differences between texts.

I learned that Muslims fast during Ramadan to remind them how it feels to be poor.

I achieved my goal because I compared similarities and differences between texts.

Next time I will get more new information to put in my egg.

I achieved my goal because I completed the cross country.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Next time I will jog at the start and sprint at the end and try not to stop to many times.
