E-portfolio Sample - Science Term 1

Jack, you have formed some good Inquiry questions and you are able to define what an acid and base is.  You have a good overall understanding of what the pH scale is.
Your next learning step is to continue to work on forming more of a detailed hypothesis so you can reflect on your learning clearly.

  The clear water glistened in the sun whilst the happiness of the kids gave the valley a life. Overtaking everyone, the jagged rocks were the light of the show. People cannonballing off the ledge was common. The long walk was tough, but the ravine did act as a prize.
  
  
  Mr Miles was a border for the valley. Parents also helping the children jump off the ledge. Water soon became more grey as the sun vanished. Sharp granite rocks would spike your feet, though you would be lucky to even touch the bottom. As the wind grew bigger so did the coldness of the jagged valley. The tall ledge was the main attraction because the ravine grew more dull.
  
  
  As the tides got more fierce so did the powerful wind. Soon the sun completely disappeared behind the clouds. More and more people grew cold and bored.this sunny place wasn't so ''sunny'' anymore. Now it was time to leave this once beautiful valley.      

Student Reflection:

In my writing, one of my goals is to support main ideas with carefully chosen details/comments.

I did show this goal here because It was a show not tell, so I had to describe what was happening with words that correlate with the idea.

In my writing, one of my goals is to use different sentence sentence structure, beginnings and lengths.

I did show this goal here because if I didn't, it would kind of drag on the story and really bore the reader but, I could of used more impact sentences or one word sentences.

My next step is to Try and add more complex sentences in my writing because they are lacking a lot in my writing.

Teacher Comment:

Jack, your opening sentence is very catchy and made me want to read on and know more. like the way you have used language to add detail and description, without exactly stating where you are. Your next step is to experiment with using short or one word sentences to add impact. - Mrs Hunter

90-60=30 9-4=5 30-5=25

The KNOWLEDGE I needed to solve this problem include

The knowledge I needed to know is Place value and knowing how to figure out the difference between large numbers.

Bike Safety Blog Post T4 2018

Bike Safety Blog Post T4 2018

  

What are the three things that Constable Ken Taught about where we can ride our bikes? (think - place and time)

1.We're not supposed to ride our bike in the path but, we are supposed to ride them on the side of the road.
Some parents think that you should but, you shouldn't

2.We can ride our bikes on BMX tracks skate parks and other bike places. For these places you would
probably need a BMX bike but, that's only to make it easier

3. You shouldn't ride your bike on school grass because it's school property but, if you have a very large
back yard you can change your gear and ride freely. You can also ride on mountains with with a mountain
bike.

Name three important things Constable Ken taught us about how to ride our bikes? (think - eyes and head)

1. Don't change your gears before peddling otherwise the chain will fall off.

2. Always look up when riding your bike otherwise you might crash.

3. here is a speed limit so don't go fast or you might hit a backing out car

Describe the three bike signals that Constable Ken taught us.

1. Look in front for obstacles that you might bump into.

2. Use hand signals by putting your hand out for three seconds in the direction your going to turn.

3. Look behind on the right side for cars behind you.

What did you enjoy the most about your Cycle Safe lesson? Why?

Music - E-portfolio Sample - Term 4 2018

This term we have been learning how to play some new rhythms on our bucket drums.

We learnt to play the down beat where we play on each beat, it looks like this:

Then we learnt to play the front beat where we only play on beats 1 and 3, it looks like this:

We also learnt to play the back beat where we only play on beats 2 and 4, it looks like this:

After we had practiced the beats we learnt to play along with some songs.

What do you think is the most important thing to do so that you stay in time when you are playing on the bucket drums?

The most important thing to do is trying to read the beat and the rhythm.If you stop and wait for a couple of beats and then join in you'll
probably get back into the rhythm.

Which song do you think would be good to play the bucket drums to and why?

I think shotgun would be a good song because it has a good past bpm and its got various drums.

What could you do to improve your bucket drumming in the future?
I think to get better at drumming is just to practice and experiment.
