My CARE Progress

I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year.

I feel I could do much better.

Give reasons for the answer that you have highlighted above. Because i rearly record my ticks.

How far away are you from reaching your BRONZE/SILVER? half way to achieveing my bronze.

The area of CARE that I need to try harder in is C / A / R / E ( Highlight the ones that apply to you and give reasons why you have highlighted them.) Because i dont have many ticks in this area.

To achieve my BRONZE/SILVER award quicker I need to record my ticks.

The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is to record my ticks.

We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.

Music

I can describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place

Over the past 7 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place

I can describe these characteristics in a piece of music

form is the way a song is put togethr

timbra the character or quality of a musical sound or voice as distinct from its pitch and intensity

rythem a strong repetd sound

harmony is a heap of notes put together

melody is multiple voices or sound s put together

Here is an example of my learning

Blog post title: Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC were: reading my writing to my parents

What went well and why? my writing because my parents enjoyed it

What were the challenges you faced when preparing and presenting your SLC? Finishing it ontime.

What changes would you make for next time and why? nothing because it went well.

In Maths we have been learning to use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating with whole numbers.

In Maths we have been learning to use a range of multiplicative strategies when operating with whole numbers.

Here is a link to our online modelling book

The strategies we have been learning are:

- Estimate the reasonableness of large problems like 1 788 – 891. Could 497 be right?

- Use multiplication to solve addition and subtraction problems eg.

  64 – 48 = as (8 x 8) – (6 x 8) = 2 x 8= 16

- Use doubling / halving, trebling/ thirding and adjusting to solve multiplication problems,

 eg.  12 x 50 solved as 4 x 150= 600

- Use an algorithm to solve multiplication problems.

- Solve problems using simple cube numbers .

- Use an algorithm to solve division problems.

Here is a link to my Multiplicative Strategies Assessment which shows that I know why and how I use particular strategies. This doc also has screenshots to show which IXL activities I have completed as part of my learning. 7-D.1 Write multiplication expressions using exponents

My next step in my Maths Learning is…… Year 7/8 Standard: Use side or edge lengths to find the perimeters and areas of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles and the volumes of cuboids.

Year 7/8: I can use my growing wide range of academic and content-specific vocabulary to understand texts.

Year 9/10: I have a large vocabulary that is connected to my own knowledge about the world.

Name of Text: Underground Explorers

Definitions

Void: an empty space or vacuum. Fluorescent: able to give off visible light after being exposed to a source of heat, light, or other form of energy Vulnerable: able to be hurt or injured Interconnected: to connect or cause to be connected one to the other or others. Seldom: not often; rarely.

` Example/Non Example	Is a void messy? Why or why not?	No because it is not messy.
	Which color is the most fluorescent at night? Why?	Bright orange because it is easily visible when light is on it
	Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?	Because elderly's reflexes are slower
	Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandelion? Why?	A vine because it is coming out of itself
	Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?	The olympics  because it does not happen As much.

Word Associations	The plants in the garden are die during a frost	void
	There were lots of different paths that joined each other	interconnected
	I made a shot from halfway while facing backwards.	Seldom
	We are still exploring  outer space.	Vulnerable
	I can find my key ring easily in the dark.	fluorescent

Word Relationships How might each pair of words be connected?	Vulnerable/Fluorescent	Bikers won’t be as vulnerable
	Void/interconnected	A cave because there might be a big drop and be interconnected.

Extended Writing	Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
	A car crash when i was going to the west coast 2014 for the buller gorge and it happened in the gorge so far away from the hospital.

My short story

• vocabulary to communicate meaning (Year ⅞)
• use all basic punctuation independently and attempt more punctuation (eg semicolons, colons, parentheses) (Year 7/8

My Story... The CROCK Bite

It was one hot summers when Bob was out fishing with some of his mates: Jeff, John, and Jack, Jeff is 26 years of age John is 27 years of age and Jack is 27 years of age they had been fishing for two whole day's trying to get the big bite. [When Bob gets the big bite he's winding as hard as he can but the fish is just too strong when his mates give him a hand to get it to shore it finaly comes ashore but what happens next is not what he expects a CROCODILE. Bob doesn't know what to, nor does Jeff John or Jack. So they try to take it off but it is just too risky. 

Bob Jeff John and Jack think it would be a good idea to try and take it off when BOOM it just happens in the blink of an eye the crock has striked and Bob has been bitten. Jeff,John and Jack have know idea what to do so they try to ring an ambulance but there is no cellphone reception. They are three hours from the nearest hospital so they get a bandage to try and stop the bleading. Then, they get him in the car and rush him to hospital.

Bob is SCREAMING with pain and they haveonly been driving for 2 hours. He is losing blood rapidly the time is ticking 10 minutes till the nearest hospital, then Jeff stops at the daisry to bye a chocolate bar and when he comes back Bob has DIED!!!. From loss of blood
