2019 Learning Reflections

This video and slide deck is all about my learning in 2019.

Te Manga Paddle Boarding

At paddle boarding this year I have have a lot of fun I have learnt start the way that the wind is going that way you can get a little ride and paddle back and not waste your energy paddling forth and back. When we were paddling I sneakily put my paddle down and hopped on to the side of the board to pretend I was swimming. when we got back we were able to have a little swim while the other group went out for their turn. once they got back it was the end of paddle boarding we were all going to sing i did not one but 2 speeches. my mum was there and she said that my speeches nearly made her cry. Then we walked back to school to have a play on the playground .

Coopers Beach Camp Te Whare Tui

My favorite part was the obstacle course aka confidence course. I was so scared of the wood wall. Once I got to the tyre climb I felt like a boss!!! I was probably at the top in 16 seconds. Then came the jumping squares and the wood walk. I really felt like I was going to fall on to the hard solid ground. It was great. the slide was scary. At first I was SUPER scared, my brain nearly blew KABOOM!!! It was fun but I thought I was going to DIE!!! I was so scared on my first go I hit the bean bag, it was nice and soft like a pillow.

Math Strategies

WALT use different strategies to solve subtraction and addition equations.

These strategy's are called rounding and compensating and the splitting strategy. I have used the class site to help me with my learning. You could also ask your mum to do some equations and you figure them out using these math strategies to solve them.

My Learning Goals

My Holiday to the 'Hole in the Rock'

On the 2nd to last day of school holidays my mum,dad,grandma,grandpa,and my 2 cousins went to Paihia to go to on a hole in the rock cruse. It took 3 hours to get back but it was fun. I made a new friend his name was Oliver. I saw bottle nose dolphins, one went under the boat and that was the last of the bottle nose dolphins. We saw a fish as big as my mum, my friend Oliver freaked out at first. but then I told him it was harmless and it would not sink the boat. If it could sink the boat it could sink the boat I would be running all over the show . It was just a gilathan which is a harmless zooplankton eater. They look like a pretty rock that is giant. Then we got to the whole in the rock, I made echos .
