Ugene's P.E Learning Story. In P.E we have been learning how to work together as a group and share our ideas with each other. One of my main goals was to be able to communicate my ideas with my group. At first I found it difficult but I then got used to working in a group. In Dodgeball I was good at sharing the ball with Jillian (My teammate) and giving her good advice on how to to throw the ball. I think I improved at throwing the ball because I was able to get people out when I threw that ball. So in long ball we have been learning how to throw the ball to our team mate so we can get the other team out so my team can bat the ball and get a score of 22 which is my team high score in longball. So I was good at batting the ball far so my team can got most of our team back. I have been really good at encouraging my teammates because some of us have been really shy to hit the ball and I will shout out ‘Woohoo you go girl/boy” or “Pretend it's something/someone you...

Ugene’s Technology Learning Story In Term 1 I was in Art. We were learning how to use clay to make different types of shapes/objects. We got to play around with clay and use different materials to mold the clay into different shapes. It was fun experimenting and playing around. I was good at: Working with the clay Using different art materials Following instructions So we are still in Term 1 but we are in our next technology group which is hard materials and we had a choice to make a box or a puzzle or wood carving and we chose... Can u guess…?  a box. I was good at: Being safe and careful.  Following instructions. Talking about what to do. But even though it still Term 1 I think I will enjoy it  as much as I did last year because we get to learn more skills and how much we know about it already. We can also show off our learning smarts out of school. Jillian’s feedback: Your good at picking up the new things we do e...

Ugene’s Art Learning story  In my classroom we have been learning about how to create a surrealist piece of art. Surrealist art is where you draw visions of your dreams and make it real and who you like it. So it  been like 8 or 9  weeks of doing  surrealist art in Aroha Tuakana 11 and 10 and I sort of enjoyed it but the thing I don’t like  is that it have to make it look real and not fake. So something that I was OK at was mixing up things and blending them eg the features.  Like I put a gun as a mouth which represents my great great grandad because he was in the war. One thing that I was so not good at was  making my face shape look real and not like a egg shape face and more like a regular face and not a egg shape face. I think that I got better at making things look like something they are not like my eyes they look like something they are not because I put my mum and dad in my eyes because they are a big part of my...

Mum’s away Dad’s in charge There’s no milk Fortunately, The Milk… Author: Neil Gaiman It is a narrative How do we make meaning from the texts we read using a range of reading strategies? I located information so I found out that the dad was going to get milk but then he got lost in this other dimension. I inferred an idea so I found out that he must have went somewhere else instead of the right place to get milk because he got lost while go to the dairy. I evaluate so I think that he should of taken the car so he can be fast  going to the shop because he wouldn’t get lost while going to the shop and he would be fast. I analysed and synthesised so I thought about the ideas in the text and came up with my own new it is about the dad going to the diry to buy milk so the kids can have breakfast and he can have tea.
