My Reflection on Term 3

One thing that I have achieved this term is improving on my narratives. I am proud of this because I like writing narratives.

 

Another thing I have achieved this term is consistently getting all of the questions on our basic facts test correct. I am proud of this because it is good to get them all correct and it means I have less homework.

 

The other thing I have achieved this term and I am proud of is the story I wrote with Nathanael. I am proud of this because I like to write fictional stories.

 

One thing I need to improve on next term is my handwriting. I need to improve on this because my handwriting is messy.

 

Another thing I need to improve on is my reading. I need to improve on this because I have gone down on my e-asTTle test.

 

The other thing I need to improve on is not sitting next to people I will talk to. I need to do this so I don’t get distracted.

I Have Moved Blogs (again)!!!

I have moved my blog from blogger to posterous. So my posts will still
show up on my blogger but sometimes they will have weird codes in them,
that means I have embedded something on my posterous but it has not shown
up on blogger.

Author Study

Updated goals for this year

My goal for reading was to be able to evaluate the author’s purpose and intent. I have achieved this goal based on my last test. My new goal is to identify and discuss the purposes of the writing. To achieve this I will need to read more intently and think about what it means.
To improve my writing I need to use better vocabulary and make sure I support my ideas with lots of detail.

Matariki

1. What is Matariki and what are all its other names?
Maori New Year, Seven Sisters, Matariki, Pleiades Star Cluster

2.What significance does it have in other cultures from history? The stars indicated if the crops would grow good for allot of countries and the U.K was one apparently

3. How did Maori use it in more traditional times, like when they were travelling the Pacific or trying to survive in Aotearoa hundreds of years ago before Pakeha came here?
The Maori used Matariki was used for the crop planting and travelling.

What is a Net Game

I think a net game is a game where the ball goes into or over a net.
I think basketball is a net game because you shoot the ball into the hoop.

The tactics i think are involved in net games are go for space and get it in/over the net.

PE Assessment

Good attackers will pass the ball to to people that aren't marked and that are in space. They will also use teamwork.

Good defenders will intercept the ball and take up available space.

I think I worked well at teamwork and communication.

I think the class did well at communicating and working together.

I think the class still needs to improve on passing the ball to everyone in their team.

What Processes Change the Earths Surface?

Erosion:
Erosion can be caused by wind blowing dust and sand along the surface of the earth and it can also change the path of water.

Weathering:
Floods and rain can change the land by washing stuff around and causing land to subside. Tornado can change the land by blowing stuff away and tearing stuff out of the ground. Storms can damage landforms by causing landslides and flooding.
