Graduate Profile Goals 2017

From the Year 8 Graduate Profile, the two goals I think I have personally achieved are "I can use digital tools creativity" and  "I can work with people successfully".

Some evidence to back up "I can use digital tools creativity" is, in the past, I have used/found different tools online to create assessments, like when I created an animation with Jakita instead of a poster or a presentation. Another example is when a poster is needed, while other people use Google drawings or Google Docs I would use something easier like Canva.

To back up "I can work with people successfully" I have continuously been paired with people I don't necessarily like or wouldn't be friends with but I figure a way around it, like getting on with the work and trying to get them interested in the work

From the Year 8 Graduate Profile, the two goals I think I personally need to work towards are "I can give useful feedback to others" and "I manage my emotions when I'm challenged or frustrated"

I believe I need to work towards "I can give useful feedback to others" because I put other feelings in front of what is needed. The steps I need to take to get there is stop over complicating everything and worrying that I'll hurt someone with my opinion.

I believe I need to work towards "I manage my emotions when I'm challenged or frustrated" because I'm very sensitive and get overwhelmed easily. Steps I can take to get there is, again, to stop over complicating everything and calm down.

Explaining an Explantion

This week in writing we've been learning how to write explanations. So far we have been writing a short explanation on the Sun. We started writing out an introduction to... well introduce the subject.This is done by using short not completely detailed sentences. We then moved on to choosing 3 things about the sun to write a paragraph on.
Each paragraph should have...

• A heading
• A topic sentence
• 6 to 8 lines about the subject

This is a section of my explanation

Golf Course... For Science!?

Yes... You heard me right.
In kete, we are learning about forces, and for our assessment, we have been instructed to create a mini golf course. Why? Because to play mini golf, you need to push the ball by hitting it with a putt/club, 'push' is a force. See the connection?

Molly and I are working together to create our golf course. We have created a google drawing showing how we want our course to layout with minor details.

(The purple lines are the main paths to take and the blue lines are slopes ((Because we are mean)). The bright yellow lines are police tape... Don't ask)

The hardest part so far about making this is not letting our imaginations go wild. Because Molly and I can be so creative we had to realise that we actually have to make the course and make sure it's something we can make in 5 hours (The time limit we have). For example, our first plan was to make a house in the middle of the course. We then realised we can't make this in the time we have. Our next steps are to figure out how to make and then make the course.

Trial and Error

Learning Outcome:
We are learning to solve a problem by trial and error

Success Criteria

• I will have tried different ways of solving the problem
• I will check to see if there is more than one way
• I will have a correct answer

The Problem

We were given 7 cards each labelled - 3,=,5,x,7,8. We needed to make an equation with these that is true and use ALL the cards

Reflection - We were completely wrong with how we tried to sort out the equation. Rather than a _+_x_= equation it was a _+_=_x_ equation. So really from the beginning, we had no idea what we were doing! 

Music Performance 2017

Ahh, the first performance of 2017 music, nerve-racking but fun. This time I performed with Jakita, Ella and Molly.
We performed Melanie Martinez's Carousel one of my favourite songs from the Crybaby album. I really enjoyed that we got Jakita out of her comfort zone and got her to sing with me, also the fact that we seemed sort of like a band, with Molly on Uke and Ella on Xylophone. Our performance wasn't perfect, that would be impossible, but if I could go back and change anything, I would make sure Jakita and I's videos were in time and see if there was any way to calm Jakita down a bit.
Either way, we had heaps of fun and that's all that matters, I would definitely do it again!
