Cry of the Taniwha Prejudice Example

Reflection 
I have been reading Cry of the Taniwha, and I have learnt to identify the characters personalities and how they act.  I found this tricky finding ideas on Scott Murray and examples of him because the things that people thought about him were really violent and I was trying to remember exactly how he is inside.  It was tricky trying to remember parts of the story.  I most enjoyed how I had to find the information and not copy someone else's work.  Next time I think I could work on a the main character because I think this might be a little easier.

Adding Using Tidy Numbers

Reflection :

In maths I have been learning to add in tidy numbers.  I found this easy because the problems were easy and I also had my teacher to help me.  Next time I could work on some harder problems.

Volcano art!

Reflection

We have been learning how to apply paint.  We learnt two techniques, dabbing with sponge and dragging with cardboard.

My Speech!

My Reflection 

We have been learning to write an effective speech.  I found this easy because I knew my topic really well.  I made sure I had lots of facts in my speech which made it informative. I ended my speech with a conclusion but I think it could be better.  Maybe next time I could end with a question or a cliff hanger. 

Fraction of a set

I was learning to understand unit fractions.  I found it hard at first because I didn't  know that the bar meant divide.  Now I find fraction of a set easy.

My pepeha

  

Reflection

I was learning how to draw a pepeha.  I found it easy because I did this 2 years in a row with Mrs Melville. My next step is to make it more detailed. 

Understanding a Character's Impact

I was learning how to understand a character's impact.  I found it Easy but at the same time it was hard because it was hard writing the obituary but easy getting ideas.  My next step is to use this skill for another novel.
