McCahon: End of year reflection

I Love My Chromie Stop Animation and Reflection

Reflection: Use the prompts on the IWB to reflect on the learning you did as part of the stop animation you made. Successful learners can also identify their next steps.

I think that the animation was amazing because my group was collaborative and easy to work with. I learnt that making small movements is really important because your video will look more realistic. The tricky part was sticking to my plan because my group had lots of fantastic ideas and they wanted to put it into our video. Next time we will check the iPod screen before we take a picture because our fingers might be in the way.

Refelction: Book club Lost

As we near the end of our first Book Club series, reflect on your learning (think about your Reading Goal and the Key Competencies).

---

My Book Club novel is: Lost

---

Backward-Looking:

How much did you know about Book Club before we started?

I knew that a group of people get together and read books for a while.

Inward-Looking:

What were your goals for Reading and Book Club? Have your goals changed? Are you on track to meet your goals?

My goals for Book club was to finish my book in 3 weeks. I am onto chapter 5 and this week I need to be up to chapter 10 or 12. I am not on track to achieving this goal because to be honest with you, I really don’t read my book much, because I don’t find my book interesting.

---

Outward-Looking:

If you were the teacher, what comments would you make about your learning so far?

I would say that I should read every night and before school. I would also say don’t get distracted when you are reading your book. Go somewhere quiet.

---

Forward-Looking:

As you look at your work so far, what's one thing that you would like to try to improve upon?

To not be piewacked of what I am reading. I should also not get distracted and maybe get myself comfortable so I could be more interested in the book. Reading the blurb is important because it tells you what the story is about, I am going to read the blurb a few times so I can understand what the book is about and be more interested in it.

May Road visit reflection

What?

Today we went on a trip to May Road school and I really enjoyed it. I learnt lots of new friends that were really nice. I also learnt some new things about my some of my family members. What I did in MRS was gave things a go and kept trying no matter what.

So what?

 Knowing new friends and being confident helped me collaborate with people because I felt shy.We brainstorm your ideas on a some paper Once I get to know people I started playing with them because I will get to know them better.

Now what?

Now, since all the new friends I have met, they are a great encouragement for me to be more confident with learning with other students I haven’t met before. Do a plan about my topic.

Today My class and Flox class went to May Road School to collaborate and meet new people.
