Zion’s Drama Inquiry Learning Story

How do we communicate our ideas and opinions about an issue through drama?

Our presentation about teenagers not wanting to go to school
Rap
 
I want you to know that I was good at speaking loudly and clearly because I felt like our message needs to be shared.
I was also good at showing emotions  because I want to share how I feel
The key competency I used well was thinking because I thought a lot about the words and making sure they connect to my problem.
I want you to know that I need to work on trying my best because I thought I could have done better.
The key competency that will help me next time is participating and contributing because it will help me in the future to try new things. The more skills you learn, the better you will be at lots of things.
 I want you to know that I found it hard to focus when there are other people trying to distract me because I am able to be distracted easily.


Greta’s Feedback
You are good at researching spoken word poetry by finding different videos to inspire your writing. You were also good at writing a song that clearly communicated your ideas.
You need to work on working together as a team because sometimes you and your buddy got distracted.

Maths Learning Story

How do we solve a tricky math problem as a group?

There are no expectations of knowledge and no limit of mistakes-Zion

Xiah’s family’s waka ama team and Brooklyn’s family’s waka ama team are training for Nationals. They want to see how far they can travel in 5 minutes. Xiah’s family team travelled 1.32km in 5 minutes. Brooklyn’s family team travelled .86km in 5 minutes.
How much further ahead were Xiah’s family’s team?

When I and my group solved this problem we thought of a good thing to start off so we can be able to understand each other’s ideas/smarts.

We first started with  86/.86 + something = 100

I knew that 86/.86 + 14/.14 = 100 so our first number was 14/.14 but we had some more left and it was 32/.32  so 32 + 100 = 132 and in decimal, the decimal point always has to be in between the one and tenths.

 So it was 1.32 and we had to add the amount of numbers we added so we did .14 + .32 which = .46 and that was how we knew the answer that's how far Xiahs family went

I want you to know that I am good at explaining confidently and clearly   because I love being in front of a lot of people

I am also good at asking questions  because I want to know if they understand what I am doing

The key competency I use well is thinking because I connect math with what I already know

I want you to know that I need to work on participating and contributing  because I get angry whenever we do maths quite a lot each day

The key competency that will help me next time is managing myself because I can think twice of what I'm doing wrong

 I want you to know that I find it hard to not get distracted from others because I can get distracted easily

Rylee’s Feedback

You were good at explaining and justifying your reasons
You needed to work on nothing because you don't need to work on anything

You were good at  supporting like saying do you get it and  sharing strategies with other people that you don’t  usually  work with

You need to work on nothing because you already know  that you don’t need to work on anything  else

Zion’s Reading Learning Story

“How do we  make meaning from our library book?”

Callum is a nought- a second-class citizen in a world run by the ruling crosses...
Sephy is a cross, daughter of one of the most powerful men in the country…
In their world, noughts and crosses simply don't mix. And as hostility turns to violence, can Callum and Sephy possibly find a way to be together? They are determined to try.
And then the bomb explodes…

When I choose a library book I think of my passion and what T want to know more about
I like reading books about rugby and war because I want to learn more and know more than people

My book is called Noughts and Crosses

          It is a fiction

Its purpose is to twist up our mind and share true information 

I located information so I found out that Callum and Sephy daughters were best friends.

I inferred so I worked out that they have known each other for long  because they tell secrets 

I evaluated so I think that it's cool to trust someone because you feel like you’re not alone
