             The Kursed Apple

 As I was walking through a forest,I saw this fresh juicy apple just waiting to be eaten.

I picked the apple off the tree and I was             about to take a bite, until this lady came out of nowhere and said” If you eat that apple there will be consequences.”

To be honest I didn't really care what she said so I took a bite anyways.

Woke up in a bottle.     “What the heck! Where am I?     is this a dream  .?”

Trying to call for help!  It's no use! I think back …
Can't take this anymore!  Hungry,cold and sick.  About to give up until this kid picks me up in the bottle and throws me on the ground.  The bottle breaks.

Yay I'm free but I’m still tiny. I don't care because I wont be seen again and I can do whatever I want.

     Next steps

More information about each thing that happened eg more about walking in the forest more about eating the apple more about being in the bottle when it was thrown.
 More words to describe to describe things  to make a picture in your readers head.

 Correct use of full stops at the end of each sentence and capital letters at the beginning use of commas.


  Strengths

  Use dialogue
A beginning , a middle with a problem and a great ending.
Use of paragraphs.
Sharing your feelings.   

Pasiano's Tech Learning Story

Tech Learning Story

When music hits you, you feel no pain.

We have just finished the music rotation with Mrs Connally. In music; we have been put in groups like a band and in our groups we had to pick a song that we would play with instruments.

In my group there was Prestigious, Keelan and Tevin: the music that we decided to pick was Don’t Worry by Bob Marley.

The instrument that I chose to play was a guitar. Keelan played the ukelele, Tevin played a bass guitar and Prestigious played the piano.

I was good at staying on task by listening to Mrs Connally’s instructions like: “Go and play the guitar” or “Go and play the ukulele” I played the xylophone until I found the right instrument to play which was the guitar.

It was hard for me to stop talking to Keelan because we both were distracting each other, Maybe next time I’m going to move away from Keelan.

I got better at trying new instruments because the only thing I usually play is Fortnite.

I need to work on stop talking to my friends by moving away. The key competency that I was good at was Managing Self because I got on with what I was doing.

The key competency I need to work on is Thinking about how I can play the guitar in our band because my beat was off.

Prestigious’s Feedback: Nano was good at playing the guitar in time with our band. You need to work on not talking when your not supposed to be.

  “Just play, have fun, enjoy the game”
 
              Success criteria                                                                             
Participate and take risks- Step out of our comfort zones
Share the ball
Call out our team mates names to help relay the ball in
Include and encourage our team mates
Think strategically
Support each other by cheering and giving out high fives
Try our best and never give up
Have team talks to discuss our strategies
Reflect on our performance and get feedback so we can improve
Looking at the strategies that the other team uses so we can use those too.

       
 In P.E we have been learning how to participate,       take risk and step out of our comfort zones by playing dodgeball and longball.

The thing I was focused on was supporting others even when there were not in my team.

In P.E I'm good at long ball and dodgeball cause I'm good at throwing and I'm also good at cheering others on even if there not in my team.

It was hard to throw straight to get the player out in long ball  cause sometimes when I throw the ball it goes crooked.

Something I need to work on is throwing it more softley cause it might hurt others legs and I also need to work on throwing the ball straight cause sometimes it goes off my target .

My next steps is to throw straight cause sometimes it goes off and I also need to work on throwing more softer in dodgeball cause it might cause an injury.

Treselle’s feedback:
Pasiano is good at sharing the ball when it looks like someone is free to get because it makes it easier
He needs to work on throwing soft  because it could make someone cry

Art Leaning Story

Art Learning Story
               
How do we communicate important information and ideas about our identity using surrealist art ?
Success Criteria
Put something about the person inside or near their portrait
Use unusual colours for the facial features
Create an optical illusion. It looks real but its not
Mix up things and blended them eg the features
Make things  look like something they are not
Include lots of detail
Make look realistic
Make part of a person a thing that represents something important
Make the art is like a dream.


In art we been learning what surrealist art is.
We have been creating self portraits that share information about ourselves.

The thing I was focused on was how to draw light lines and shading and using bold colours.

My portrait tells a story because it gives us information about my identity.

At Pataka they showed us examples of portraits and I was able to use it on my own like the shading.

My next steps is to take a risk and add more detail to my self portrait.

Tevin’s  Feedback
Pasiano was good at shading  because it looks realistic like Jillian's one.                           
Pasiano needs to work on to add more detail to it. because  there is only a cross and turtle.

What we do in soft materials

In soft materials we pick out of three things we can sew e.g a  unicorn headband, a pillow and a a teddy bear. The one that Iv’e chosen to do is the unicorn head band because it looks really cool and it would be fun to sew .   Here is a image

Pasiano’s Reading Learning Story

How do we make meaning from the texts we read using a range of reading strategies?

screen castify

Write a learning story about your library book using the prompts on your bookmark
Do you like animals?
Cause I do and here is my reading experience about animals.

This book I am about to share with youse is a book called animal tracks and signs.

It is by an author by the name of Jinny Johnson and the text type is a Non fiction.                       
The purpose of this true story is to entertain  my reader  and hook them . 
           
I found out that all animals have different habitats like some live wooded areas,forest,scrubs,lakes,ponds and rivers.

I worked out that diffrent amimals are form diffrent places e.g kiwis are from new zealand and kangaroos are from auzzie.

Talking About Our Learning
When you are finished, make a screencastify of you reading some of your library book and insert the link into your doc (You don’t have to show your face if you don’t want to)

Maths Learning Story

Room 12 needs to buy furniture to meet their learning needs. Unfortunately, there is not much money left in the furniture budget, so they need to look for the best possible deal, so they can furnish our classrooms.


Furnware is offering 35% off all tables. The tables they want are usually worth $360. What is the sale price?
Office Max is selling the same tables at 45% off the total price. The tables we want are usually worth $420. What is the sale price?
Who should they buy their tables from? What is the saving, so they can justify their decision with Ms Whiting?

This problem is all about Room 12 needs to buy furniture to meet their learning needs. But there's not enough money in the furniture budget
 So they need to look for the best deal so they can furnish our classrooms.

 I was trying to find out what 35% of $360=?

First I did 10% of $360 is $36

The I did 5% of $360 is $18

So $360-$126=234

I knew that finding 10% was useful.
I had to multiply 10% times 3. My next step is to get better at multiplying percentages.

How I work in a maths group
In maths group I'm good at listening to others ideas.  And I'm good at repeating others clever ideas.

In maths I got better at asking for help and something else I got better at was asking questions to find out what the problem was about and questions like “Why did you do that?”

In maths I need to work on having a turn at writing ideas down because then my group can use my ideas too.

Prestigious’s feedback
You are good at taking risk by sharing your ideas to help our group.

You need to work on staying foccused on the problem and stay on task because you always talk about fortnite.
