Weekly Reflection Wk/1 Term 4

This week has felt very short but in that short amount of time I have wanted to get things done quickly so I have completed a lot of work. I have got through my personal inquiry quickly and am hoping to get that done in the 5th week. I have almost completed 3rd grade khan and have done 20 mins each day some days doing more than 45 mins. This has been a very confusing week because pet day has been and we had to prepare for that so there has not been as much time to do work but our timetable for our personal inquiry has helped clarify what we are doing and helped us work around pet day. This has been a good week for learning and working yourself.

Weekly Reflection Wk 8

This week has been a pretty busy week. I have done well to keep up and have been very successful in doing my work to a high standard. I can cope with not having a structured day and not being told we have to do a certain subject at a certain time. I will be fine with doing my own work at any time and will focus on things that are close to becoming . I have completed my Kiwi kids news featured article, have started my personal inquiry and have finish all my fairy tale writing and scratch. I have made progress on my water colour portfolio and am hoping to finish it by the end of next week.

Rapunzel Moment in time Sentence

Original sentence: No one dared enter this garden.

My Version: The sprouting piece of land was untouched by human matter, for the consequences that lay ahead for the daredevil that planted down their handcrafted boot on that garden were horrible.

Why I chose this sentence: I chose this sentence because it was one of the first sentences and if it was as it was before I changed it they would not read the piece of writing due to the lack of secrecy in the sentence and wouldn’t read the story to the end non stop because other activities would be more exciting.

What I changed: I changed the level of secrecy of the sentence so it hooks the reader and makes them want to keep reading because they know there will be more sentences that made them more excited about the story. I also changed the length of the sentence because a crucial sentence to keep people reading the story shouldn’t have six words because it shortens the story and there is less chance to make the reader enjoy reading the story.

Weekly reflection Wk/7

This week has been confusing and has been hard to keep up with everything. Even though it has been hard to keep up I have tried hard to keep up and have done surprisingly well. We have been learning about being connected and I have tried to be connected with everyone and trying to make the connection stronger between me and everyone else in the school. I completed my Hansel and Gretel story after being behind and also my Kiwi kids news featured article. I have done well in math because I have been practicing. This week has been a good week.

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”
