Group Refection For W.I.T.


How did your group work together? (Did you cooperate, share the work, stay on task, persist when things got hard? Were you open-minded to each others’ ideas? How did you show empathy?)
We were working really good with our group mate for the first three weeks persisting thinking new ideas. And Working out things that got hard. And then we didn't work very well together and got split up. But when I was by myself working it made lots of things heaps more easy.


What were you pleased about in following the Te Ara Tika pathway to learn about first aid? (Think about each of the steps - what steps did you do well or made progress with?) We thought that the Te ara tika leaning sheet was good because it tells you what you need to make a wit and it shows you step by step how much prior knowledge you need, and helps with the task.


What skills in the Te Ara Tika pathway do you think you need to improve on and why?
I think I need to improve on my keywords because I forget my keywords sometimes. And also so I can expand my prior knowledge of words.


Now think about your google site. What are you really pleased about or had success with?
We’re really impressed that we learn't lots in this wit and I am happy of what I have done on my google site because I now know how to treat anaphylaxis and all the other. But there is some more info we need to add.


What do you think needs to be improved on your google site?
More info because we don’t have enough


Do you think your first aid google site does a good job of “effectively communicating” first aid skills? Why or why not? (Would you be happy with people using it to “Save a Mate”?
No because it does not have enough info.


What is one thing (skills, learning attitude) that each of you needs to improve on in our next W.I.T.? (Record each of your names with the thing to be improved)
Ben-keywords because I don’t use them very well.
Kaino-Prior Knowledge because I have a very bad memory so I need to work on that.

Learning

Today I will be talking about some of my learning that I have enjoyed over this term. First of all I have enjoyed writing and reading. What I enjoyed about learning in writing is getting into a zone where I just zone out into my own writing world. I like how in reading I get really into the book that I DO NOT want to stop and put the book down, But then…… Mr. A says to stop reading and switch to something else.

In reading I think I have improved a lot from last year because last year I couldn’t read words like torrential and anaphylaxis. I improved by asking for help and Mr. Anderson could help me. He helped me by teaching me new techniques to make long words easier. 1 wanted to improve on reading because I like reading.

Camp

Me and my class are going on camp. We are going to camp at Te Wera. I'm excited for camp because I will be doing all new activities that I have never done before. I'm not looking forward to some activities because they sound a little scary to me. Some activities we are doing archery, Eeling, kayaking, going on a waterside fun things like that.  I think once I try the activities that I haven't tried before I probably will enjoy them.

I'm feeling a little scared about camp because i'm going a long long way from home. I think we are going to camp so we can have new experiences and learn. Camp sounds Fun!
