Key Competencies And Colour Run

Key Competencies And Colour Run

In my school syndicate (Pohutukawa) we do a kind of fitness we call  color run, we run  around the streets close by our school and the positions are colours.  For example, red is first yellow is second, blue is third, and green is last.  Also a key competence is bit of info on what the qualities you should have to be a learner, teacher, and trier.  

In  this post I will compare what I am doing with my key competencies (which is managing self) with the colour run.  One of the things I am doing is setting my own goals, so far in the colour run I am always coming blue and yellow. What my goal is is to keep up what I am doing and try to become red.  The other thing I am doing is challenging myself, this means I am always trying my best and push my limits every time we do the run.

Kia ora everyone, and welcome to 2017!

My name is Turua and I am the owner of this blog,I hope you are having an awesome year and this year I will try to make heaps of posts this year.  I am in a new class with another teacher and it’s pretty cool.

Also here is a picture of me

This week with our teacher we are going to use the key competencies which are thinking, managing self, relating to others, using language, texts and symbols, and participating and contributing.  My goal is from the managing self key, it is to always challenge myself all the time

At our school we have a kind of pack of rules called S.T.A.R.S.  s stands for supporting each other, t stands for tell the truth, a stands for achieving our goals, r stands for respect, and the other s stands for self responsibility.  We have to listen to these rules, or else we get in trouble, and they are pretty good.

Well, that is all, I hope you liked my post!

My Book Review

       My book Review

Title:	Amulet, Book Five: Prince Of The Elves
Author:	Kazu Kibuishi
Illustrator:	Kazu Kibuishi
Storyline:	A family ( Emily the stonekeeper, stonekeepers are people that use a magical stones, Navin the commander of the revolution, and the regular care for the kids mum) that has gone into another world that is way different than theirs.  They are helping the Cielis guard soldiers fight against the elves, but Max the stone keeper is standing in the soldiers and the family's way.  Emily and her friends must stop the invasion of the elves before it starts, or else they will destroy the nation called Windsor.
What I liked best:	What I liked best is all the creativity in this book, like how the technology and mobiles are different to ours, it makes the story interesting and makes me want to read more.
What I didn’t like best:	What I didn’t like was nothing because it is all well done and it’s a very good book.
Favourite character and why:	My favourite character is Navin because he is good at things like flying jets, airplanes and other air mobiles, and he is commander of the revolution.
Would I recommend this book:	Yes I would because It is a great book and very well done by the author and Illustrator.  I think that whoever reads my book will think what I do about this book.

Olympic Artwork

  

This here is my Olympic artwork, I had to take a picture of me and cut off the picture of my head and put it on an Olympic athlete's body.  Then we made a tessellation for the background of the picture (a repeating pattern of shapes or a shape that doesn't overlap and has no gaps).  

After that we made similes (comparing someone or something to a thing or a person) and metaphors (a direct comparison) that compare to what the athletes are doing what they look like they are doing.  

For the border we used words like the three Olympics values (Excellence, Friendship, and Respect) and shaded the border in a bright colour.  Next we had to outline the words to make the words pop more.  Then we gave it to Miss Hills (my teacher) and she laminated it for us.  On the last week of Term 3 which is now, we had to glue it in our quality work book.  This is a picture before I glued it in the quality workbook.            

 

Hong Kong STEM Challenge

Names:

Sonia, Turua and Malcolm

Our Materials:

6 x long sticks

1 x  wooden square

2 x pipe cleaners

2 x straws

11 x plastic cubes

1 x bunch of popsicle sticks

4 x wooden small flat pieces

Challenge #1 - Build a structure with a cube as the base:

In challenge 1 it was hard because you had to focus on balancing the structure so it does not fall and bust down and that happened to us a lot, so we had to make it again.  It was going well at the start but at the end, not so much.

Challenge #2 - Build the tallest structure that you can and your base can be any size:

Challenge 2 was very interesting because it’s hard to build things on a table when everyone is doing something at the same time.  It was going well until it came to the end.

Challenge #3 -  Build a structure with something that balances off the side of it:

In challenge 3 you had to make one of your items stick out of the side.  It was hard because you had to make it balance and the pipe cleaners were supposed to be the things that stick out, but they touched the table and you cannot let that happen.
