Ugene's Swimming Learning Story So you are here to hear about my swimming journey (more like less). I will get started. So for the first day, I was not swimming but I was like swimming is so important because New Zealand has a lot of water around it. To be real with you at first I was not looking forward to swimming. The thing I was confident with was trending water because when I’m with my family we always go to the deep end and my mum and dad will always start to trend the water so I can breathe and not drown. My teacher was not only Abby but also my mum and dad. As you can tell from the last paragraph I also love the boat safety because my mum and dad are thinking of buying a boat and I know how to be safe on a boat. I can tell my mum and dad that if we get a boat we will be safe (may be safe on the boat) I just like to say thank the teacher that have taken their time out to teach me and my classmates swimming. I most like to thank Abby for the teacher that...

Ugene  Fritz’s Workshop Reflection Describe the workshop. What was the purpose of  the workshop?  In Fritz’s workshop we were having heaps of fun. We done activities like running and sports. What learning did you do in the workshop. Skills? Qualities? Competencies? The skills I learned was to work together because you can't do everything by yourself and it’s good to have help once in a while. How will this learning help you in the future?  Explain and justify. When I get a job work together will be helpful because it will be easier for me and and the people I may work with.

Ugene’s Technology Learning Story The best way to predict the future is to invent it So according to my face technology is at Brandon Intermediate School and we always go on a Thursday afternoon. We do same cool stuff like art,music,hard materials and soft materials. My personal favourite is cooking. It not just out school that goes. All schools go in the Porirua area. Success Criteria: Focus on what you are doing Follow instructions Follow the plan Listen to instructions Stay with your group Plan before you make Share ideas Create a product Be safe and careful Talking about what to do Measuring accurately Make improvements to your product I am good at following instructions when the teacher tells us to do something in the class so we can complete the task that the teacher has given us. I got better at asking for help when I need it and not when I don’t need it because when I don’t need it I ask for it I ’m just being lazy. It was hard for me to plan before ...

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...
