Gender Roles

My Reflection:
In this activate we had to explain gender roles. I felt kind of confused because I didn't know much about the Maori culture but know that I've wrote this I figured out a bit more about this interesting culture.

I found this hard at first but when we did a class brainstorm (plan) it became really easy because we got explained some stuff about the Maori culture and some ideas of what they might do. I think my next step is to learn a bit more is about the Maori culture.

Whale Rider Chapter 8


My Reflection
My class has been learning about bias. We had to highlight the parts of the story where Koro Apirana was being bias. Bias is a form of: Racism, Sexism or other cultural beliefs. it was not a big chapter and easy to read. The positives were there was only a small bit were Koro Apirana was being bias.

My Peer Mediator Video


My Reflection:

It can be challenging making a video because we don't really what the other people might say.
I found it tricky because we had to keep making the video because we kept messing up even know it supposed to be an one shot video but then we got it. I think my next step would be practising a bit more.

Term 1 Week 5

In the past five weeks we've been learning a lot of things at school.

We have made music using our body parts. Like mouth, hands feet etc we made some pretty cool beats.                                                                                           
We are doing a really cool pattern artwork at the moment, first we had to take a picture of our self then
drew a grid over our photo. Know were up to making a pattern.
It looks like this.
We also do an activity called Youth town witch is on every Tuesday. Its when we learn and play a fun game. The only Game we've do one game at the moment is capture the flag (we use a ball instead.) What we need to do in this game is capture the other teams ball but also we need to protect or own. How do we defend? We can defend by tagging  the other teams but you can only tag them if your in your own territory. If you get tagged.
you have to wait until one of your team mates grabs you and takes you back to your home base.

Relating to Characters







My Reflection
I was learning to relate to the characters in the text. I had to find what characters were similar.
I found it easy because the teacher read a chapter of the story so we just had listen about what there
personality's was It was easy because we have already read about 8 chapters. My next step is to probably think of some more ideas for me.

Statistical Inquiry Cycle



A lot of people play sports as their activate
The biggest group is the one who do nothing
Most people do activates That involve teamwork

My Reflection

I have learnt to use the statistical inquiry cycle. We had to ask questions,
collect data, organise data, display graph analyse trends.

I found this easy because we just had to send out a Google doc and my class
can type what they do.

I found it hard to analyse the data because I had to ask a lot of question and got confused.

My next step is to ask for more help and learn more about analysing.
