REFLECTING ON P:E

Building Learning Power - Reflecting on (Blind Throw) - P.E What went well? Why? How?
I was close to getting the beanbag into the hoops because of the feedback from my buddy. My buddys feedback was ''you can do it'', and ''keep going''. Getting the feedback made me more confident.

           How did it feel as a learner when playing (Blind Throw)?
It was exciting and fun. It was exciting because I didnt know if I would get  it in the hoop or not.

 One thing I could improve on is ….. Getting a bean bag in the hoop. I could do this by putting my arm more straight. 

CALENDER ART

 Calender art

My calendar art is about my mum, dad, nibbles the bunny, and jojo the cat.

The orange, pink, blue, purple, and red koru is my dad, the dark pink koru is me, the pink and green koru is my mom the blue koru is nibbles and the light pink koru is jojo. I did those colors because they are my mum,  dad, nibbles, jojo, and my favourite colors. The rainbow in the background represents how my family likes going outside all the time.

My reflection on my learning

 I use my managing distractions:  muscle because I did my work and ignored my friends when they were talking to me and distracting me.

Which bits of learning I will need to practise with:   my area because sometimes I get confused between my area and my perimeter. I also lost count sometimes with my area.

What's the knew maths learning for me:  Volume because I learnt how to do it.

Hi Sarah

I had lots of fun at camp I hope you did too. It was really fun when we went on the bush walk, you were really good at climbing over things. So I'm going to share with you what I have done at camp. Hope you enjoy 😇

What were the highlights for me?

It was fun going down to the river and tubing 💙. When I went tubing I fell off the tube because it was small. The next day I got a life jacket it and I was floating around everywhere but then I had to get up because I was just about to bump into a tree.

What was challenging for me?

Eating the sausage stew because at first it looked really gross. It looked like spew with sausages and carrots and peas eww  thought. Then when it was dinner….. it was surprisingly delicious. Yummy hope we have it again.

What would you like to try again?

The bush walk it was so fun. It made me want to go outdoors more and I also liked the mint in the forest.
