My Learning Goals

Title:

My Learning Goals

Description:

Today we looked through our reports from last year. We identified a next step (goal) for reading, writing and maths. Here are my goals:

Maths: subtract 2 digits minus 2 digits. E.g. 73-29

To achieve this goal I will: learn strategies in class like rounding and place value.

Reading: improve my understanding of the story.

To achieve this goal I will: talk about what I am reading. I will make predictions about what I think might happen.

Writing: use descriptive words in my writing.

To achieve this goal I will: use specific words e.g. Verbs-action-hitting, adjectives- describing words - black tennis racket, adverbs describe the action- hitting quickly.

---

We also looked at our STAR results.

• Word recognition I got 7 out of 10.
• Sentence comprehension I got 8 out of 10.
• Paragraph comprehension I got 8 out of 15.
• Vocabulary I got 7 out of 10.

I am going to focus on:

Paragraph comprehension

To improve in this area I will: use the links on our blog.

Swimming Sports

At swimming sports I did the fluter bourd race and I was nirvis because it was my first time doing it but it was fun. I also did a free style race. The water was deep. I am in kereru - the blue house. I had a fun day.

Maths

I am learning how I can use animal strips in an array to help me solve multiplication questions.

 

My reflection:
This was a bit tricky for me because this is new learning for me. I need to learn my 5 times tables off by heart.

My Family Tree

We are learning to introduce our family in Te Reo.

My Reflection:
I fond  this relly hard

Active Listening

We are learning about different types of listening. There are 3 main types of listening that we learnt about. Busy Listening - When the person listening is busy doing something. They are too busy to concentrate on what is being said. Me Too Listening - When the person listening has a story that they feel is more important than the person talking so they interrupt and share their story instead of listening. Active Listening - When the person listening looks at the person talking, concentrates, gives non-verbal feedback (e.g. nodding) and asks questions about the story. To learn about the different types of listening, we watched this video:

 

 As a class we created our own video to help us understand the different types.
After practising each type of listening, we realised…

• Busy listening makes us feel like you’re not listening to us. We found it really hard to keep talking. 
• Me too listening makes us feel frustrated and sad that you think your story is more important. 
• Active listening makes us feel valued. We know you are listening because you are looking, nodding, asking questions. 

 As a class we are all trying to get better at being active listeners.

Music

In music with Jenny we played instruments.  And with the instruments we played hailstones

I enjoyed doing this.

EOTC

 

 

In week 6 we were learning to work together as a team.

THIS IS WHAT WE DID...

• On Monday - we went to Massey to do a bush walk and then we went to Kids Republic.
• On Tuesday - we had a construction day.
• On Wednesday - we had an art day.
• On Thursday - we had a water day.
• On Friday - we had a camp day.

My favourite day was camp day because we got to go in the tents, make smores and make pizza.
