Kia ora koutou.
At the start of 2023, I was on my 3x Tables. I have worked pretty hard this year and now I am on the ➗ 4.
In our hub we work on the times tables in this order:
x2, x5, x10, x3, x4, x6, x7, x8, x9, x11, x12. We do the same order for division.
Here is an example of some of my online work:
My goal is: to be on ➗8 by the end of the year.
For Term Four, my goal to help me become my best self is:
Avoid issues with fake friends and just stay with real good friends that I trust.
To do this, I will:
Just don’t interact but be nice about it and make sure my friends are who I can trust..
So far, I have learned:
Each year we have a Book Week to celebrate our love of reading. A favourite part of this week is book character day.
Check out how cool Te Ara Angitu look.
Natania recently completed this Google drawing to show the thoughts that we should keep with us. These thoughts are our positive ones. We did this task when our values focus was Keep a Positive Attitude.
It would be such a great world if people all held on to their positive thoughts and not the negative ones. Do you have any good ideas for other positive thoughts we can add?
Our Values focus for this week has been Using Kind Words and Actions. One part that we focused on has been giving people compliments. We came up with some examples and then wrote compliments to people in our hub. We also tried to make someone’s day by making compliment cards for other people in our school and someone at home.
One of our values is Be There and we have been looking at the importance of being on time with the places we need to be and with the things we need to do. This is a T Chart of the implications for being punctual vs being late.
I think I need to work on being on time and not leaving things to the last minute.
This week we have been learning how to use Voki as a tool for consolidating and sharing our learning. In Numeracy, we used Voki to show our timestables learning. This slide has a few examples of our first attempts.
To consolidate our learning of our current timestables and to learn a new creative tool, we used Voki to share our learning. We also had to add in encouraging sentences to make our Voki more interesting for our audience.
Once our Voki were created, we used Screencastify to record it.
Here is Miss Waho’s example:
