Look back What did you do? What could you improve?	This year I have done the ICT Talent Development with the robotics Also I did the documentary as well as the maths talent development. I need to take more risks
Questions What questions have you answered? What questions do you still have?	In robotics I learnt how to programme a robot  In the documentary learnt three things  1 how to interview someone  2 how to use iMovie  3How to spell documentary!!! In Maths I learnt how to scale things down and I never want to be and architect At high school I want to do more art  and robotics
Pull it apart What factors contributed to your learning? What challenged you?	The things that contributed to my learning were the computers and teachers because they were amazing (the Teachers) The things that challenged me the most were doing the maths and doing the independent tasks.
Make connections What did you learn to do better? What sort of thinking helped you?	This year I have learnt to be more organised so I get more done. When I was working with other people  it helped me get all of my work done
Make judgements My progress was...	My progress this year was getting more confident in my self and getting better at rebuses.

Today in maths

Today in maths we drew circles with a compass to make a small scale model of the band rotunda. I worked with Kate and Jaimes. It was fun.
I stabbed my self 2 times with the pointy bit of the compass. IT HURT
Today we also did a game and it was fum because we had to pass on a word by writing on some ones back.
My team got the word wrong both time but it was still fun.

CHESS

Today I played chess against Alana  and I lost!! :(
It was really funny because I had everything set up so I could take her queen/rook but the she did something and I had to move one of my pieces.

This is a picture of my set up

Today

THE MORNING

This morning the maths talent development group went to the band rotunda in Queens Park. We were measuring the band rotunda so we could make a scale model of it for the library . My partner was Kate, our job was to measure every aspect of the step. it was fun.

THE AFTERNOON

This afternoon Georgia, Declan, Jack and I went out to Otatara school to tell some 5 year olds about robots . Before then we had to programme the robot to do something. Georgia and I made it react to sound which meant it stopped moving when it heard alot of noise (Declans clap).

Last Day For MADE Awards

Today was the last day for the MADE Award entries to be finished. We didn't know if we were going to finish but we did and I was so happy :) :) We had to use the green screen because we forgot to do some filming last week. We also had to change the music because it almost made me fall asleep!!
I hope we win!!

My 2 stars and a wish

 My 2 stars for this term would have to be

1. Finishing my documentary (also learning how to spell documentary)
2. When we had the must do can do sheet getting it all finished almost every time

My wish for next term is 

1.To have more student run workshops/have more 5 minute challenges

Filming and Other Things

Today for Talent Development we started our filming.  We recorded our introduction we also organised for my mum to take us down to the museum next week. We still haven't heard from Tim Shadbolt yet.Also I have done all the picks that I need to do and also I have done my before school pick from my sheet. For one of my picks I did Cartooning it was when you had to draw a picture from the cartooning book then watch a video and then draw another one. I drew a beaver then a mad bunny/rabbit.
