Good Teamwork & Bad Teamwork

This week our goal was about good & bad teamwork.Good teamwork is getting along and not arguing when you bump into problems. If you do stumble upon a problem work together to solve it and not excluding anyone. Bad teamwork is when you bicker and fight when you bump into problems. When you show bad teamwork nothing will get done you'll just make others in the group feel bad and that isn't going to help you achieve anything.

  I think I've achieved this goal because today me and Brooke showed teamwork. I hadn't finished my AWS  and I saw Brooke who was sitting next to me struggling with some of her questions on Manga-high, so I helped her with some of her 7 timetables and in the end she got a silver. After that Brooke help explain some questions that I didn't quite understand. Now I understand how to read a two sided leaf graph. I think we should all show a little more teamwork.

Little Gardens

Today while half of Marama was at calf club the rest of us had the opportunity to do something fun sand. We made little gardens out of anything we could find. Me and Kate paired up and decided to do a dinosaur garden and we called it Dinolandia. I brought a big plate to make our creation on. First we dug out some sand from the sand pit and we lay it out evenly, in the middle we dug out a little hole and pored water inside to make a little cove. We looked at our plan and made a few arrangements on where we were going to place our dinosaurs. We stuck them deep in the sand and even made a little cave out of rocks to put out little T-Rex inside.

Once we had placed all our dinosaurs we weren't that happy with it because it was missing something and it didn't look quite right so we re-arrange it again. We added some more rocks around the sides and put the little lizard dinosaurs on it to make it look like they where really on them. We dug one of the snakes under the sand with his head popping up and the  other snake peering out of the grass. Then I put the other two dinosaurs reaching up about to eat the leafs. After we finished Moana came to look at our beautiful creations.

LITM Confrecne Reflection

Last Friday was one of the funnest Fridays this term, which was the only Friday this term. But the reason why it was so fun was because we had THE LEARNING IN THE MAKING CONFERENCE!!! My favorite workshop was drama because I had lots of fun going crazy with expression and just being silly and I had a great time. While I was in the stick raft making workshop I learnt how to strategize in different ways , I did a completely different design to everyone else and that held a lot more things on it while it was in the water, I also tied knots in different ways and that made it a lot stronger. My third workshop was badminton, i’d never really played a proper game of badminton before only practiced skills so that was a really fun and cool experience that I could share with others.My last workshop was a cool and relaxing task to finish off the day, we made vintage wall paper bunting, I would definitely do this again at home because I loved all the wallpaper patterns and it come together in the end and it just looked amazing. I don’t think anyone could top this year's LEARNING IN THE MAKING CONFERENCE!!! This was by far the best out of three.

The Marama Way

This term I'm going to focus on being brave and I'm going to take more risks towards my learning. I've already shown an act of being brave by putting my hand up to show my learning as an example. I'm sometime quiet at school and I feel like I need to be more louder and brave.

Who I hung out with in the holidays

She has hair as bold as the sun set,

Freckles smeared along her face,

She brightens up the room when she walks in and makes everyone smile.

Pet day

Pet day was on the last day school and I was bringing my fabulous pet turtle Peanut-butter. Peanut-butter loves to swim and climb on his rock; his favorite food is bacon and the beast thing about him is that he has his own built in home on his back. There were only two water creatures at pet day, Peanut-butter and Kirans pet fish Ryan. Ryan (the fish) had  beautiful blazing orange scales that stood out from the rainbow colored pebbles that he swam above. Jameena and someone else who was the judge came in to start the judging. The judges were very quiet, they only asked about 3 questions... Dose Peanut-butter have a tail? (He did) Whats your turtles name? And how googlie are his eyes? They gave out the first two awards for the frilliest tail, Kairan and Ryan came first on that one and Me and Peanut-butter came second. The next category was the best pet past port, I came first for that one, then I got another first for most interesting name: the reason why I name Peanut-butter his wacky name was because when my mum brought him home to me I was eating a peanut-butter sandwich. The fourth award I got was a second for the googlist eyes. Over all I came first and got a bright bursting red rosette.I think Peanut-butter had fun because lots of kids wanted to play with him and see him run around and swim and eat bacon and he almost looked as if he was smiling.
