W.I.T Evaluation Sheet

How did your group work together? (Did you cooperate, share the work, stay on task, persist when things got hard? Were you open-minded to each others’ ideas? How did you show empathy?) We showed empathy by helping other groups and helping each other when we got stuck. We tried all of eachother’s ideas, but not all of them worked. When things got hard, we tried and tried again until it finally worked out. We only went off task on 2 days, and in the end we started being sensible.

What were you pleased about in following the Te Ara Tika pathway to learn about first aid? (Think about each of the steps - what steps did you do well or made progress with?) I was proud that none of my questions were step 1 (a comment or irrelevant question)or step 2 (a question that has no keywords/phrases.)

What skills in the Te Ara Tika pathway do you think you need to improve on and why? We need to work on finding answers to our questions quicker.

Now think about your google site. What are you really pleased about or had success with? We are pleased about the C.P.R page, because we put in all of the types/versions of C.P.R. (Baby, Child, and Adult C.P.R)

What do you think needs to be improved on your google site? We didn’t make the home page informative enough for anyone to understand what is going to happen in our google site without going onto another page.

Do you think your first aid google site does a good job of “effectively communicating” first aid skills? Why or why not? (Would you be happy with people using it to “Save a Mate”? Yes because it tells you how to perform all of the types of C.P.R properly, and how to tell if someone has anaphylaxis and how to treat anaphylaxis.

What is one thing (skills, learning attitude) that each of you needs to improve on in our next W.I.T.? (Record each of your names with the thing to be improved) I need to stop laughing and messing up in videos, and i need to talk louder in videos.(Ari) I need to answer my questions faster, and to stop saying random stuff.

Term 1 Learning

This term in maths we have been learning how to round decimals and convert fractions into decimals and percentage e.g. 0.125 is 1 eighth which is 12.5%. In reading we have created a new system called Reading Cafe, in Reading Cafe we can choose 2 or 3 out of these activities:

Spelling City, Self Reading, Own Writing, Studyladder and Writing a Blog post.

I enjoy Reading Cafe because i get to read, i absolutely love reading because it calms my mind and it reminds me about good times i have had about that topic. I also enjoy Reading Cafe because i can choose heaps of different activities; and the only other topic that has multiple activities is maths.

Before Camp

Year 5's and 6's are going to Te Wera for a school camp, and they are leaving next week on Tuesday. Some of the activities that we are going to be doing are: Kayaking, Raft building, stream sciences, eeling, Making hobo stoves, and archery.

I am excited about archery because i have never done it before and i have wanted to do it for about a year. We are going to be staying at Te Wera for 3 days so we are going to make the most of it.

We are split into 7 activity groups, and i am in the 5 group with Cooper, Michaela, Isabel, Sophie, Alaina, Coby, Ethan, Nathan, and Rian.

This week's learning in Swimming and Maths

This week in maths we have been learning about reading numbers and knowing the value of 1 number in the number as in, if i had a number let's say 1,092,936,725 the value of the 1 would be 1,000,000,000.

Earlier this week in swimming i learnt how to keep my legs straight when i am kicking to do a stroke, and now i am learning to rotate breathe, which is when you lean your whole body when you turn to breathe.

Decimal learning

We are learning to:

Explain what decimals actually are and how they link to fractions and percentages.

Read and identify decimals to two decimal places.

Order decimals to three places, for examples, 6.25 and 6.3

I learnt what the decimal point is for, it separates the whole numbers from the part numbers. we have been working with deci-pipes which are these:

These are thousandths. These are hundredths.

 

I learnt that fractions relate to decimals because if you have 0.25 it is the same as 1/4. there are also whole deci-pipes and tenths deci-pipes which look like this:

 Whole. Tenths are the ones in the rubber band and the ones next to them.
