PAT Results

Description: In class we did PAT Tests to see where we are at. Here is mine.

My next steps are to get better at my statistics.

Coaching

Description: In the past 2 weeks some of the Year 6's have been learning about taking risks. Now, we became the teachers and we taught Poutama in groups of 3 or 4 about taking risks in their learning.

Here is some feedback from my 'students'.

Hi Tane, Thanks for being a great coach. I think you did very well on speaking loud. Your next step could be being more clear about what you are saying. Thanks a lot 👍🏻😋

Art Portfolio Sample

Description: For calendar art we have been making self portraits. We had to make marks from, dye, pastel and paint. We also did blending to make better effects and different colours.

Feedback/Feedforward: I think you did a good job at doing blending and and mixing together stuff. You did a great job! #Jacob w.
Evaluation: I think I did good at blending with pastel. Next time I could try us in more materials, like paint and dye.

E T Reo Portfolio Sample

Description: In E T Reo we have been doing Whakatauki's. A Whakatauki is a Maori Proverb, or something to live by. Our first Whakatauki was 'He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!', which means 'What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!' We made some art to go with the Whakatauki.

Feedback/Feedforward: I love how much detail was in your drawing. Maybe next time you could go a bit closer on where there are all the people so we can see the quote.

Evaluation: I like my person but I am not that happy that I couldn't get it done because of E Learning Buddies.

Writing Portfolio Sample

Description: In writing we have been learning to use descriptive words. First we made our own slide, with tonnes of other options for boring words. For example, good could be exquisite. Then we watch a video on how tennis balls are made, and we wrote some words down for inspiration. Now we have our story made.
Our inspiration...

Evaluation: I think that this is the best story I have written ever, because it was so descriptive compared to my other ones. My next goal is to keep the descriptiveness consistent. Feedback/Feedforward:I think you use lots of great words and not boring ones. Next time you could change the scene. Max

Book Buddies

Description: Every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday Morning, we do Book Buddies. Book Buddies is a thing where we have a buddy, and we discuss about a book that we are reading. My Book Buddy is Devin. At the moment we are starting to read 'The Lord of the Rings' by J.R.R. Tolken.

Mathex

Description: Over the past 3 weeks we have been practising for Mathex. Mathex is an event against 50 other school groups who compete to come first in this maths event. It is in the racecourse where you have 2 sections, the first part is where you have to answer some slow questions onto a big sheet, and the second part where there is quick fire questions. There are 15 minutes in each part. My group came 39th out of 51, and the other year 6 group came 20th.

Here is a question to show you how hard it is.

YEAR SIX   Mathex 2013                                     Team

Question 18

The Campbell family has a total of 13 pets, all either rabbits or birds.  If there were 42 legs in total, how many birds and how many rabbits do the family own?

*Answer is at the bottom.

We had to be able to use teamwork. This means

- communicating our ideas

- valuing ideas

-building on others ideas.

We also had to be able to think creatively, especially if there is a question that we don't know.

Feedback/Feedforward: I was fun I went to but next time you could say what we practice.

I have also now improved a lot of my maths skills, like area and learning more on capacity. We could've  done better, but we didn't do it quick enough.

My next goal now is to get into Mathex at Ross Intermediate, because that will be even harder with more people to choose from.

*8 rabbits and 5 birds

Panekiretanga Portfolio Sample

Description: This term our value has been Panekiretanga, which is Excellence in Maori. We made an assessment slide to show us what our goals are and where we are at.

SLC Reflection

1) How do you think you did on your SLC? What was the highlight?

I think that I did well because I wasn't nervous and when your not nervous you tend to do things better. My highlight was getting my report because I like to see how much I have improved.

 

2) What did you do differently to make your SLC stand out?

As I said before I wasn't nervous and when your not nervous you sound more natural.

3) How will you make your Home Led Conference in Term 3 be awesome? What things might you do to make it awesome?

I will make my Term 3 HLC awesome by relaxing more and relaxing my parents. I will make my parents tea and coffee to relax.
