My SLC reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were:

showing my mum what I have been doing in school that she doesn't know about.

What went well and why?
all of my SLC went well, I explained it right and my mum understood everything.

What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC?

finishing on time was hard because there was loads of things to fill out. 

What changes would you make for next time and why?

To make a link to my learning pathway instead of doing a screen shot so my mum can see the scores better.

WALT apply the techniques of improvisation to a range of different scenarios.

improvisation TECHNIQUES that I have used successfully are, thinking on the spot and keeping it fast paced.

Improvisation TECHNIQUES that I would like to have more practice at being ready for anything.

The thing that I enjoyed most about this unit of learning was the games because it was funny to see what other people did and to see them fail.

The thing that I found most challenging during this unit of learning was getting up in front of my classmates because sometimes I was nervous.

My favourite improvisation game was doorbell because it was fun.

My next step/ something I need to work on further in improvisation is to show more emotion in my act because that was hard.

Evidence for PALs
Last week me and Anneke did kakono PALs and we played with the skipping ropes and it was a lot of fun. We played with the giant ropes and had all different games going. Anneke and I had to Finnish early because of the kakono cross country. The care value I used the most was community because I showed up on time and gave a PAL game to the kakono.

On Friday I went to kapa haka, first we got in our lines to do our school song, then we were getting our transitions right for the culture festival, after that we were just about to get into poi then we got stopped because me and a couple of my classmates had to leave for the library. The learning quality I have shown was being resilient because I kept on going even when we had to do the song over and over.

Rich Assessment Task: WALT:  Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.

Complete the 3 problems below on a blog post and then put your name up for a teacher conference.

The best possible outcome

Answer for problem 1: #26 is the perimeter that is the lowest so the rectangle has a length of 9 and a width of 4.

	Which color is the most fluorescent at night? Why?	silver because it is a color that is able to give off visible light after being exposed to a source of heat,light or form of energy like on cones.
	Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?	Because elderly people are old and are falling apart whether children are more flexible and have more energy
	Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandelion? Why?	A vine because it was made to grow and to stick together.
	Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?	The olympics is more seldom because it is every 4 years and a election in nz is like every 3 years.

	I made a shot from halfway while facing backwards.	Vulnerable
	We are still exploring  outer space.	Void
	I can find my key ring easily in the dark.	Fluorescent

Word Relationships How might each pair of words be connected?	Vulnerable/Fluorescent	The meaning of the words mean they are both able to achieve something.
	Void/interconnected	Nothing because a void is a empty space and the word interconnected is where something connectes.

Extended Writing	Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
	I received an award one day and now it happens very seldom. I never receive awards for anything anymore.
