Inquiry

Description: In inquiry, I am in Graduation. To start off, we went to 7 tasters. Then we chose our top 3 via Google Forms. Then the teachers chose our groups from our selections. 

The way I am benefiting the future is helping make Graduation Bigger and grander than it ever has. Like now it is at PNBHS, not our school hall.

Update: 3rd December 2015

What I did: I started by going through all the invitations to see if anyone was missed out, and no one was missed out. Then, I borrowed Troy's laptop and went through the slides to make sure nothing was missed out on.

Update: 10th December 2015

What I did: I went through all the slides for one final check, then I made mini hats for decoration.

Q1: Why did you choose this Inquiry group? I chose graduation because I had done it once and I wanted to do it again.

Q2: How did you show Agency, Creativity and Excellence? I showed Agency by getting the job done, even if it's by myself. I showed Creativity by instead of using cardboard on the back of The masks, to not make it flimsy, I used corrugated card. And I showed excellence by doing the job until I can't get it wrong.

Self-Managing Wall

I think I am a Self Directed learner because I carry my learning out of the border. I constincently am taking my work out of the beginners level, Self Managing.

The goal that I am currently working on is that I am able to Priortise my learning and show flexibility when changes need to be made.

The things I need to do to achieve this goal are to have abilities to handle changes because I can forget new changes, so if I change my work a bit more, then I will remember more so I can achieve this goal.

Book Bash Prediction 2015: Petronas

Title: Petronas looks like a book that I would like to read because there are towers called Petronas in Kuala Lumpur. Why is it called Petronas, not Towers.

Blurb: I like the blurb because it seemed like they were on a mystery about the Petronas. Why would they want to find out who left instead of taking there spot inside.

Cover Design: The cover looks cool because there is a bird, which might mean flying on a bird, and It just hooks me in.

Main Prediction: I think the book will have a bit of a Terrifing attack on the towers called Petronas, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Can Sleeping Too Much Make You Tired?

Description: In reading I watched a video about if you can sleep too much.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0gbLGEdF3o

Summary: Can sleeping too much make you tired. The answer is yes. But how much should you sleep.  First, how old are you? Babies up to 2yrs old should sleep whenever, kids from 2-18 should sleep 7.5-9.5 hours, and adults should sleep between 7.5 and 8.5 hours. If you sleep too much, there is a higher chance of you getting heart disease.

Reading Followup

Description: In reading we had a workshop, then had a Followup to do. My Followup was to summarize a story about the history of WOW!

Suzie Moncrieff had an art gallery in Nelson, NZ. She wanted to promote her gallery, so she hired some designers to make art put onto the human body, instead of on the wall. She was not that impressed with lots of the garments, with them being knitted, but the next year, 1988 was LOADS better! The show got bigger and bigger! In 2004, WOW announced that They would move to Wellington to perform. The show grew popularity by 50%, with 35,000 people turning up!

News Report

Description: In reading I have made a summary on the New NZ Bank Notes which are coming out soon.

Summary: NZ is set to receive new bank notes for extra security. The 5s and 10s are ready to come out in October 2015, while the 20s, 50s and 100s are coming out in April 2016.

Pae Tamariki Portfolio Sample

Description: Pae Tamariki is a Maōri festival in Palmerston North, which is schools in the Metro area who have a Kapa Haka group, and preform at the Regent on Broadway. This event stunned the city on the 31st July 2015.






Big Idea:
At Pae Tamariki, I felt quite excited to be doing this for a second time.

I felt most proud of me doing this again because performing in front of a big crowd is quite a big job, so I felt very, very lucky.

I found focusing challenging because I was quite excited for preforming.

I managed this challenge by thinking about other things like what's for dinner.

At Kapa Haka, I next want to explore more songs and cultural stuff like some of the history.


Feedback/FeedForward: I like the way you are honest and you were excited. Shaiv
Next time you can add a little bit more but it's looking good. Shaiv.

Maths Portfolio Sample

Description: In maths with Elly, we have been learning to use the box method both by dividing and multiplying. This has really helped me with my maths for really tricky questions, like 16x43.

Big Idea:

Feedback & Feedforward: I think you have done really well with the box method. With these pictures I think you have got how to do the box method. I think you should keep using this strategy because by looking at this post you have got the questions right. Great Work! Rosalind:)

Evaluation: I think I have gotten the hand of the multiplication, but I need help with the division.
