Weekly reflection Wk 6

This week has been very productive for me. I have completed my Kiwi kids news article for this week and have almost completed my Three little pigs writing which was overdue. When Dean says SDL I think that it is time that we have to finish things that we haven't already. Sometimes if this is called then I do things that are overdue that I need to do. When I have been behind and I need to finish something I go to Dean to see if there is a fast but still educational way to do it so that it doesn't take ages and I will become behind on other things. I think that as of now I will not use S.D.L time to do my personal Inquiry because I still have things I am behind on. I have enjoyed this week and found it very good from a learning point of view. I hope next week is as productive as this week.

Manu Ginobili leads argentina to gold at athens olympics This day in history

“Manu goes up for the shot and sinks it! That puts the lead up to 15” exclaimed the radio announcer. Our whole household erupted with excitement as the argentine team toppled Italy by 15 and won gold at Athens. The radio announcer said he fell out of his chair with excitement and our whole family screamed with laughter. After the game Manu Ginobili was in his locker room being part drowned in the champagne showers. After the long plane ride home the argentina team were welcomed home with cheers and tears. I waited for the parade to come past me so I could ask Manu how he became so good. I asked Mum if she could lift me so I could talk to Manu for I was only 4. She lifted me up as Manu came past. I asked him how he became so good at basketball. He replied with “Hard work and dedication". 14 Years later I sat crying in my room after hearing Manu had retired from basketball. I just knew I had to have a great season in my NCAA Virginia team. My Mum called me down for breakfast “Francisco Caffaro stop crying in your room it is not the end of the world”

Weekly reflection week 5

This week has gone well because I have been on task most of the time. I have been behind on things then finished them very quickly and had them done before they became overdue. Trello has been a crucial role in helping me stay on task because I can plan my day and then keep track of what I have completed and what I need to complete. I have continued planning my personal inquiry and have ideas on what is gong to happen but have made progress in the writing or the movie other than research. I have been trying hard to level up on Khan because I have been on third grade for a while. I completed my Hansel and Gretel scratch and have started describing my witch and the forest for my story. I completed all the kiwi kids news questions and have started next weeks questions. I have made a map for our farm visit because it is one of my Dad's farm so I have helped Dean with organizing what we are going to do while we are there. It has been a good week work wise and I have had fun doing the Basketball practices because I love basketball and I love to think I am the best at school but Dean has the height advantage so combined with his skills he is the best which makes me the best student I think? It has been a great week.

KKN Is Honesty important? Link for article in comments

1. I think lying is bad because lying makes the situation worse because the person you’re telling may think that the lie is true and they might let you away with something horrible like punching someone or breaking something expensive. I think honesty is important although you may get punished it would be a better punishment than if you lied and the person you’re telling found out that you were lying the punishment would be worse.
2. You may get away with what you did but in many cases you don’t. I would be lying to say I haven’t lied before which is why I won’t say it but many horrible time I have got away with doing something bad. If you didn’t like one of your siblings and you told your parents that they did it they would get in trouble and you might feel good depending on what type of person you are.
3. I think it is human nature because no one wants to get in trouble and we lie to get out of being in trouble and we get to do the normal things we do. Maybe we lie so that our schedule doesn’t change because we have already planned what we are going to do and we want to do what we have planned and if we don't get to do what we planned we will get annoyed.
4. I don’t think lying will ever stop because it is human nature although I think there will be easier ways to tell if someone is lying like lie detector and you put a pair of glasses on and it scan the person you are interrogating and if they are lying the glasses will buzz and they will be caught.
5. Haven’t really lied to kahi before an if I have I cannot remember lying to him. I have lied to people before but I think everyone I lied to has found out I was lying.
6. Breaking News: Prison are overflowing many new prison have to be built to accommodate all the prisoners. “Woah this is too serious” Said the prime minister. As her Two ic I had to comfort her in this situation but I wasn’t sure anything would work. We had to make a plan of action against rising prison population. We decide we would have to double up prison cells and hope that works. 4 MONTHS LATER Breaking news: 128 prisoners killed by roommates in the last 4 months could this be the end of our prime ministers reign at the top seat. Maybe continued…

Weekly Reflection

I think that I have been on task and I don't have any overdue tasks from this week. With the changes that have happened ate our school I don't think I have changed very much. I got everything I needed to get done done. I feel I have been using my time wisely and been getting stuck into my work and trying hard to finish everything to a high standard. Sometimes during the week I have been off task but after that I would try to work faster or to a higher standard. I have been to the teacher a few times just to talk about things I haven't completed or things I am struggling with and he has been very helpful and has helped make me better at self managing my day which has helped me become a better self directed learner. Overall I think this week has been very productive.

Three little pigs game

Lil pump riding hood game

Quick Write

I fell over in joy to see the pig was finally dead. My dad said to me it was the most irritating thing he had ever had to put up with. He had lost 143 cows because of the pig and had had 23 hectares of crop destroyed. It looked like he would run out of money because of a pig. (A few hours earlier) The pig was rushing through the trees getting drenched by the dew it was galloping along to find food. Then bang, the pig had been shot right through the shoulder but had not died. Dad slowly walked over to the pig held his gun to its head and pulled the trigger. The pig fell limp and was gutted and dragged to the shed for skinning and slicing.

“It is finally complete” Sven the crazy scientist exclaimed with joy “My life goals complete now I can go to any place in the world and be back in time to eat my two minute noodles”. Sven had just created a teleporter that you could take in your pocket. He hid this so no one else could travel the way he could. As Sven was walking down the road he came across a man that was imagining himself going to all the amazing places in the world. Sven grabbed his copy machine out of his bag and copied the teleporter so he could give one to the man. Casually he walked towards the man and introduced himself. After his introduction he gave the man the teleporter. Sven was sitting in his home when he flicked on the news. “Man goes to Paris, New York and London in 5 minutes!” News man Sam yelled from the otherside of the T.V. “The cat is out of the bag now!” Sven whispered. In a short time people were banging on his door asking for a teleporter.   

On This Day In History

On this day in 2003 a black out hit north america.

My Quick Write

“Leave me alone I’m about to watch the lights in the sky” Pauline bellowed. The Lights were the most amazing thing Pauline had ever seen. She only got to see once a year. So she tried to draw them so she could see them all the time. The only problem with that is her brother Paul always annoys her to the point she doesn’t have time to draw the lights and If she did draw the lights she would find the piece of paper she drew them on torn to tiny shreds on the floor. She never knew what the lights were she just knew that they were amazing and the most fascinating things in the night sky.

Quick Write

The stink was so horrible that it made my eyes water and my sweat glands spew out all the sweat the could. It was only lit by my torch that was on low battery. The crumbling walls made me feel like is was gonna die down here. The water was home to god knows what and hopefully I wouldn’t learn what lurked in the murky drain water. The mice and cockroaches scrambled around my feet as I tried to find a minimally sanitized area where I could live.

It might have a few mistakes as we only had 5 minutes to write comment if it is good or if there is anything I could change or work on. We were writing a paragraph that would describe a setting

Paperback writer paragraph

As he took the long walk towards his cell he saw the other inmates sitting in their corners some even crying. Seeing these crying souls made him regret hitting his daughter and now he was going to be exiled for 4 years. He caught glimpse of a prison guard beating a inmate and he made it to his cold, dark and moist cell that he would be in for the next 4 years.

Sorry if this is a low quality piece of writing but we only had 5 minutes to write a paragraph about a character we had created.
