Student Led Conference

What: WALT: Describe different habitats in New Zealand and species that live in them.
So What: I have three paragraphs one is on the features of my habitat the second is on the animals and their classification, my last paragraph is how humans impact on the habitat. I think I did really well.
This is one example of one of my paragraphs.
The animals that would be found there would be a Kakapo which eats worms and the plants around it this bird cannot fly it is nocturnal it is native to NZ it is in the bird group, a Kiwi which is also flightless and eats worms it is nocturnal like the Kakapo this animal is hunted by the stoat and ferret it is native to NZ it is also in the bird group , you might also find the Weka which cannot fly this bird eats worms and also is hunted by the  stoat and ferret this bird is native to NZ this is in the bird group.You might also find the stoat which is a very big pest because it hunts and eats the kiwi and other birds eggs and eats them for dinner this animal is introduced and people are trying to kill them off this is in the mammal group. You may also find some Tuataras they are native to NZ and eat plants and other insects it is in the group of reptiles.



Now What: Using more technical words and researching more before I write.

Self-Awareness

What: I have been involved in the care values.
So What: I am a master at being in the best place to learn, having the right resources, knowing what my learning goal is and out of my CARE book, following the book standards, being aware of others, using appropriate language, keeping my hands and feet to my self and respecting my own and others right to learn.
Now What: I still need to work on focusing on my learning.

Intergrated learning

What: we have begun a new topic about habitats and species.
So What:What Changes do I need to make to protect Habitats and species I learnt that all animals are sorted in to different groups.
Now What: How do elephants swim? Why do the male penguins look after the eggs?  Why do tigers have stripes? Why do animals have sensitive hearing?

Run Bike Run

What: I completed the run bike run a couple of weeks ago.

So what: My favourite part of the run bike run was that I came 5th which means I'm going to Ruapuna for zones and I am very pleased with myself. I was very puffed afterwards though.

Now what: Next Year I would like to try get a better placing and bike as hard as I can because thats my strength in run bike run.

PMI camp

Positive : I liked all the fun activities such as canoeing, swimming, water slide and raft building. I also liked the bunk room I was in because it had all my friends in it :)

Minus : I wish we had burgers and donuts every day. One other thing I was disappointed in was that we didn't get to do the rifles and archery

Interesting : Why they changed the water slide from the old one, the new one looked faster and safer.
