Reflection time

This year I learned how to understand and use the language of geometry.

An important decision I made this year is to get more jobs to respect the school and make it a green gold school.

One goal I accomplished this year is to be a peer mediator and all other jobs in the school so i can help the school.

This year I tried to be a better person by saying a house captain speech for a house captain but then i didn't make it in.

My favorite memory from this year was when I was in a group and i was working together.

The funniest thing that happened this year was when mrs g had to do a dance for us

My Narrative

My Reflection~
I am learning ho to write a narrative story.
I felt it was hard then it went easy for me.
It was tricky to put it as a book and have the book long.
I could decorate the chapter when it said chapter 1.
My new step is going to be having more adjectives to make it interesting

Speech

My Reflection~ 
I was learning to write a show don't tell story about my speech.
It was hard for me because it was hard to think of some show it but don't tell. It was easy because I got the hang of it and knew what to do.

Geometry Pirate Ship and Treasure Chest

My Reflection
our class room 20 were learning how to do treasure chest using a lot of tools and the most useful tool was using the protractors to show how much degrees you need we used mostly 90 degrees to make some squares. It was hard to make sure it was the degree for the triangle then I knew what to do.

We made pirate ship too if we want so we made one and it was fun then we had to make a rectangular prism and a cube and a triangular prism to make it and we knew what to do we made it in groups when our teacher first said we are making a pirate ship I thought it was going to a big one and we all do it

Hightlight of the past 5 weeks

over the last exciting  weeks we have done a lot with our student teacher it was fun to do the activities together. Our student teacher is a calm,peacefully,and noisy teacher and we like that

we have been making biospheres.biospheres are like little doll houses but big but not small we made our own and it came out good we made the biospheres because we said what if the world came uninhabitable and we made them so if the earth was uninhabitable then we can go to mars and make the biosphere there so we can live on.

We have been making planets to go with bio-domes for our planet we made it out of paper mache we had to do 4 layers to make it harden then Mrs G painted them with Michael they looked amazing it was really nice we had to make blurbs for the planets we typed up if we can live on it why or if we cant live on it and why and some reasons.

We have been reading this book called between two ends we liked the book and we like when our student teacher said different ascents for the pirates it is so funny she is nice for us and you if you know her well I do and room 20.

We have been doing swimming for the whole term and it is still going of course we have 2 groups one of the groups are called the non confident squirtles and the confident blastoise   non confident go on Monday and Wednesday  and confident do it on a Tuesday and Thursday we all do it on a Friday we are all learning new things.

Between two ends

Writing plan

My Reflection
We were doing narratives we had to plan our narratives the easy part for me was the plot because it was just getting the main part in the book like summarising. The tricky part for me was the influencing because we had to make connections with the character and that was hard for me because my character is only in some parts of the book. We had to do the main character that was easy because he is the main character in the story so we know what he is doing and thinking because of the book.

Patterns 

Chuck Close 
We were making a portrait of our selves so first we took a selfie then Mrs graham had an idea so she told us and said we should do it with patterns in side and then we found and artist named Chuck Close.

Take a pencil for a walk 
The second step was we got a pice of paper that had a learning intention that said I am learning to use my pencil to draw patterns of different values and then at the bottom it has some boxes to shade light to dark.

Enlarging 

Pattern 
When we got our paper we had to get our picture were we did the selfie on then we had to make our selves but square by square so then we made a small mirror to make it easer to put on the selfie so it will be easier and then we have to make shapes light to dark if it is.

The Trickiest part for me was thinking of a lot of patterns and do them and make your accessories like glasses.

My favorite part was doing all the patterns

Term 2 Week 1 2016

I am learning how to make a commercial and I learnt how to use an app called auras ma and I learnt it now. We are doing a new art called 

Agamograph  and it is 3 d like this example 

this is shown like one side is army and the other is a flag and I cant wait what it is gonna look like 

Holiday Commercials

My Reflection

I was learning how to use persuasive techniques. We learnt about the different ways to hook our audience in and different techniques. We tried to make it interesting to watch and a little funny. We watched some advertisements to get some ideas.

We learnt about 6 techniques to making a good add. First was slogan, something catchy that stays in your head. The second one was Repetition, saying the same thing over and over to stick it into your brain. The third one was Emotional Appeal, making someone feel happy or sad for someone. The forth one was bandwagon, making someone will left out so they will want to do it. The fifth one was Testimonial, feelings. The last one was Expert Opinion, getting an expert to say a fact so people will believe it.

We used slogan, ours was 'Get 'em Happy!' and we used Emotional Appeal by making the children happy, sad and angry at different times. We kind of did bandwagon, to make people sad that they can't have quiet and happiness unless they try it.

We could improve by adding animations and making it funny. We could also use more of the techniques.
