June Reflection

We are reflecting our June work.
I found it easy to fill out the reflection form.
I found it hard to to take the selfie.
here is my June reflection.

Pattern Ball

We are learning to communicate and work as a team.
To work out our pattern once we got the ball and past it we sat down.
We had three balls soccer, netball and rugby ball.
we started off with the netball, after we got better we got the soccer, and after we got good what the netball and the soccer we got the rugby ball.
To communicate we called each other's name and looked at the person we were passing to.
I found it easy to remember the pattern.
I found it hard to get my punctuation right when I was reflecting.
here is the screencastify of us doing pattern ball.

Matariki Flipgrid

This week we have been learning about matariki.
My digital learning object shows I know how to use a flipgrid.
I found it easy to create the flipgrid.
I found it hard to get the flipgrid right.
Here is my flipgrid.

Queens Guard

We are reading The Boy at the Back of the Class. We are learning to combine different sources of information to express ideas.
Out of our choices, I chose to draw a picture of the Queen's Guard.
I found it easy to find an image on the internet to copy and draw.
I didn't find anything tricky.
Next time I would make it bigger.
My digital learning object shows I can take a picture of my work and put it on my blog.

3 and 4 Times Table

Today we have been learning our 3 and 4 times tables.

I am learning my times tables.

I found it easy to create the Google drawing.

I found it hard to get my screencastify right

Here is my slide.

Matariki

W.A.L.T use visual language features. We had to use subheadings, text boxes and pictures.

I found it easy to write the explanation because I had a lot of information to use.

I found it tricky to reflect on my learning.

My digital learning object shows I can use pictures on blogger.

Next time I would add more information about each star.
