My Pepeha's

Task - Translate your first pepeha to you'r language of choice. And translate you second pepeha to Te Reo Maori.

Reflection- 

What did I find challenging? - I found the coding quite confusing. I have never used scratch before and I couldn't find any helpful tutorials. 

How did I solve this problem - I overcame this challenge by playing around with the block's and constantly view my progress to make sure it is going how I want to go.

What would I do differently next time? - I would make my character move instead of staying in one spot the whole time.  I would do it like that because it would look a lot better and wouldn't be as obvious that I don't know how to use scratch. 

What did I enjoy the most - I enjoyed viewing the end result because it showed that my hard work didn't go to waste. I hope to get more opportunities to code in the future because it could be a very valuable skill for when I grow up.

Thank you for viewing my post. Feel free to go and make you own creation on scratch. Happy Early new year and enjoy the festive season.  

Feelings Task

My Google Earth Reflection

 

What was the activity? - To pin point 14 different locations in our school on google earth and label them. 

How did I complete this activity? - I completed this activity by going outside and finding the object or tree that I need to pinpoint on google earth. And comparing it to googles earth's image to make sure that I have the exact location.

What were the positives I learn't - I learn't more tree's and more about my school as well. There are some tree's on the map that I didn't even know this school had. I 

What were some challenges you faced - Some challenges I faced were that even though I got some pretty accurate locations for the objects and trees. there were some tree's that blended in with other tree's which made it a lot harder. I also struggled with using google earth because I wasn't used to the setting's and wasn't familiar with it.

How did you overcome them? - I overcame them by going outside counting the trees so that I could count the trees in google earth as well to find the right tree. I overcame my next challenge by just playing around with the settings and getting used to them.

What would I do next time? - I wouldn't over complicate it because I just made it harder and made it take much longer to finish then it should have.

To Tell the Tale

Kindness Can come a Long Way

Tu Meke Tuatara Reflection

How did I complete this activity - I completed this activity by writing a summary about the book Tu Meke Tuatara and answering some questions about emotions.

What were the positives that I learned - I learnt more about emotions a lot more about the Rimu tree.

What were some challenges and how did I overcome them- Some challenges were that I had trouble simplifying my work because I am not used to taking that kind of approach in my work

What would I do next time - I would finish my work even faster next time because I think that I took too long and I think  that I could have done even better

( Inquiry ) Paper plane Blog Reflection

 How did I find the activity? - I found the activity very fun but at the same time stressful 

Which aspects/parts of the activity did I find easy or challenging? - I found getting the timing to throw the plane challenging. 

What are some of the strategy’s I used during the activity? - I threw my plane when there was a breeze so that it could push the plane further 

What changes would I make to my plane dart next time? - I would make a different plane because the plane I made was too heavy. Which made my plane not go as far as I wanted. 

What are my predictions for future plane dart modification attempts. And how will it affect my result? - I think that my future attempts will be a lot more successful because. I know what to and what not to do. Because I have already done plane darts before.
