BUSH KAURIS

My learning team is BUSH KAURIS! We made our name Bush Kauris because we start off as a small learner and then grow into a big learner! The people in my team are Kurt, Mason, Daniel, Miles, Caitlin and I! We even made a team song which is the Bob The Builder Theme Song!

My Business Card

This is my business card. On here I have all of the information which my parents can use to contact me. This will be printed out and a magnet will be stuck on the back so it can go on the fridge.

My Pepeha

A pepeha is a way of telling people about your history, where you come from and what you love. I have shown mine by drawing a mini mural of it.

Tuakana - Teina

Tuakana - An expert at being responsible and making the right choices

Tupu - Capable of making the right choices but doesn't do it all the time

Teina - Learning to make the right choices for their own learning

Tuakana - Teina is a system that our class has made by assessing yourself and asking yourself if you think that you can make the right choices all the time, most of the time and not very good at it. I placed myself as Tuakana, which means makes the right choices for my learning all of the time. I chose to put myself as Tuakana because I make the right choices for my learning and I am very responsible when a teacher is not near. This system is based on the relationship between the learner and the expert. I am Tuakana at netball and art, but I am Teina in driving a car or playing squash.

Drivers and Blockers:

Feed Back and Feed Forward

Drivers are things that help your learning and blockers are things that distract you. I think that feedback and feed forward is a great driver for me because if I don't get feedback and feed forward I wouldn't know what to improve on and what I am doing well at. I would like more feedback and feed forward this year!

Treaty Of Waitangi

The treaty of Waitangi is an agreement between two sides/groups of people, which in this case was the Maori and Pakeha ( The British ). The treaty of Waitangi was signed by The British Crown and just over five hundred Maori chiefs from all over the North Island, on February 6, 1840. This resulted in the declaratiom of the British ruling over New Zealand. The Waitangi treaty was signed in the Bay Of Islands up north.  Around 1840-1850 Waitangi day was celebrated by everyone, but these days it's just a long weekend to us. I never actually knew what Waitangi day was about until this morning, it never really occurred to me that it was actually a really big event back in the day. 

Learning Smarts

I Did The Multiple Intelligences Quiz And My Top Three Answers Were:

What are multiple intelligences?

The Multiple intelligences quiz is a quiz which shows you how you learn best. I learn best with other people according to this test. I am also Naturalistic and Visual-Spatial. There are other intelligences which are Number Smart, Music Smart, Body Smart, Words smart, and Myself Smart.

Naturalistic:

Nature smart was my highest scoring learning smart. I think that this accurately represents me because I love the outdoors and being at the beach and going on adventures outside.

Interpersonal:

People smart was my second highest scoring smart. I think that this is correct because I love working in groups with other people and doing group projects like how we did Group Endeavour last year, I really enjoyed learning about global warming with other kids.

Visual-Spatial: 

I think that I am very picture smart because I like to make things very colourful and spruce things up with a little pizazz. I also like to use my imagination when  I am doing art.

My Bucket list

My Favorite Space

The QZ is my favourite space because there is really comfortable furniture in it and when I need to get my work done that is the place that I go. It is also a really great space to read a book in.
