Muriwai's Reading Learning Story
My book is called Al Capone and it was written by Alan MacDonald
and illustrated by Phillip Reeve.
My book is nonfiction and I liked my book because it was
interesting and it told facts and true stories about what happened
ages ago to the main character Al Capone. And I liked that they
told about his whole life like when he became famous.
Whenever I go to the library and I need to choose a book I look at
the chapter books and I always make sure that I read the blurb
before I read the book.
Reflection
When I was reading this book I was good at inferring what was
going on in the story and I was good at analyzing and
synthesizing by locating important information.

My next steps are to find somewhere comfortable to sit where
there are no distractions so I can read and I want to be able to
evaluate information.

Muriwai’s Maths Learning Story

Muriwai’s Maths Learning Story Manusiu has 20 metres of material to make some tupenu for her family. Each tupenu needs 1.5 metres of material.  How many can she make? In our maths groups, we talked about this problem and my group and I thought that it might have to multiply in it so when we took the the pen we started thinking about how we could solve the maths problem. First, my group wrote 1.5x4=6 then 1.5x5=7.5 and we were trying to find out the answer but it was too slow then I remembered that you can multiply it by 10 to get an answer faster we wrote 1.5x10=15. Then there were 5 metres of material left so we wrote 1.5x3=4.5 and we put 4.5+15=19.5 and the answer was 13 because that was how much tupenu we could make. Reflection I was good at thinking because I was good at recording my ideas that got my group out of the pit and boosted our ideas. I was also good...

Workshop Reflection

Workshop Reflection When I was with Fritz we played a few games. Our first game was writing the meaning of teamwork, we each had a turn to write our  ideas down. My word was the word happy because I thought when  you are helping each other people we would be happy about it. In our  second game, we had to go into the shape of a circle while we held each other's hands and listened to what the teacher wanted us to do . The first thing the teacher told us to do was to move inwards then  outward. After that, we played a game called tic tac toe. We had to place a bib in a spot where the cones were the cones shaped as nine little squares. Once it's placed you run back to your teammates as  quickly as possible to touch them so it can be their turn and the first  team that scores three in a line is the winner. My favorite was tic tac toe because I knew I was good at it. My team won the first round but we lost in the last round.

Swimming Snapshot of Learning

Swimming Snapshot of Learning I want to share this with you because I want you to know how I got better at swimming. On the first day of swimming, we jumped in the pool and then we had a choice to swim to the far end or we could choose to swim to the flag. I swam to the flag because I didn’t like swimming. On the second day of swimming, we went to the other side of the poo l to put on life jackets after we had to jump into the pool then we held hands to make a circle we also swam while holding each other's life jacket and go back around. The next day we had to swim to the other side and hop out of the poo l because we went up high and we had to dive or jump with our feet first then when all of us jumped in we had to swim to the other side and back again The key competencies I used were participating and contributing because when I didn’t want to swim I did it anyway to improve on swimming and to learn more from the swimming teachers.
