NEVER GIVE UP!

 Hello,

This week in reading we have been learning about mindset. We learnd about the 2 different mindsets. Growth and fixed. A growth mindset is when you keep trying at something no matter how hard it is or how much times you have failed at it. Then there is a fixed mindset. They give up after 1 failed attemetmp. They think they can do nothing. 

Then we had to pick a person in life the showed a growth mindset. I pick the NBA Isaiah Thomas. First we need to talk about how Isaiah was only 5 foot and 9 inches tall. The average NBA player is 6'7 and the average player at his position is 6'1. So we was shorter than everybody. But that didn't stop him. Then Isaiah got drafted by the Sacromento Kings in the last pick of the draft. He got drafted 60th of 60. He played a few seasons and got traded to Boston where he went wild. Got 4th in MVP voting and that wasn't even the best bit about the season. Ealir in the year Isaiah's Sister Chyna Thomas died in a car crash. Then when it was meant to be her 23rd birthday Isaiah drop 53 points on the exact day. He must of just had such a growth mindset. He was dertemind to get to the top. 

For the DLO we had to think about our learning and what our biggest takeaway was. Mine was to have grit through everything so I made a little video about my Guinea pigs and how they show Grit. Here it is. 

When have you had to show Grit through something?

  

4 Chemicals in the brain

Hello

For PBL we learned about how the four Chemicals in the brain that make you happy. Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins. My favourite is Endorphins because it release stress and for alot of the time I get stressed about my work. Here is my slide about what I just talked about plus. 

What did you do, to get happy?

You better have peace.

 Hi,

This week for reading it was all about inner peace for outer actions. First we watched how Po from Kung fu Panda had good inner peace. Then we read about Whare Tapa Wha. The four walls of wellbeing. I read about Social wellbeirng. What I learned is that if you have good relationships with people you can enjoy life. I also learned about how inner peace is the knew wealth. You can also enjoy life is the most important. Then we had to color a peace sign. 

Have you watched Kung Fu Panada?

What makes you feel happy?

 Hello,

This week we learned about Emotional literacy. If you don't know what that means I am here to tell you. Emotional literacy is you know about your emotions and how to conrtol them. It is also you know how to see what someone else is feeling. Then we did a task where you had to sort out different feelings into four different groups. + Energy and + Pleasent, - Energy + Pleasent, + Enrgey - Pleasnt and - Energy with - Pleasent. The final task was a DLO. Let me show you. 

What are you feeling at the moment?

Tweeting all about it.

 Welocome back,

This week for writing our goal was Write in structured, well developed paragraphs that flow well from one to the next within the text. We had to fix up our Goldilocks story and add some subheadings. We had to use this picture to help us.

Here is the bit I have changed I added the sub heading and also I added some emojis and better hashtags. The first tweet is about someone who is scared. Informal, the second one is someone who feels bad for the bears. Formal, and lastly the 3rd tweet is about someone who isn't happy with the police. Informal. The intent was to make my article look cooler like it is online. Here is it. 

Tweeting about it

@MatureMonkey44: How am I supposed to swing around my trees when that PEST is on the loose? Totally Not Cool. 👎😞

#Creep in the streets

#Kick the youth 

#90’s rule

@GrandmaBear: I feel so sorry towards my little son and his son. All prayers to them. I never had to deal with this in my day. Anyways my podcast will be starting back up next Tuesday and I would love it if you could attend. 

#We pray🙏

#R.I.P🧟

@SheepSheran21: Just heard about the news, I really don’t like what the police are doing to handle this, expect better from them. We know this has been happening for ages and now it just goes even worse. Get it together.

#Do better😖😖😖😖

#Police trash

What would you tweet?

4 Year Old buys $3500 of ice cream!

Hello,

This week for reading our goal was Select from a wide range of genre when reading independently. We had to go to and pick 3 articles from Kiwi kids news that were from 3 different genres. Then we had to read them and write our thoughts about it. Also we had to rewrite the headline. The cool thing we did this week was there was no DLO's.

Title: 4 Year Old buys $3500 worth of ice cream! - Genre: Interest articles.

I think this is funny and sad at the same time. Like how do you let a 4 year old who has Autism on a computer by himself. Also how did you know the address of his aunties house. But luckily people and giving money to the fundraiser. Some shapes that are in this book are. If I could make the title I would change it to : "$3500 worth of Ice Cream bought but by not who you would think." 

Title: Blackcaps into Test Championship Final - Genre: Sport

For me being a cricket fan and liking the blackcaps I quite enjoy how we are in the final. As the time I am writing this it is the 2nd to last day and it is looking like it will be a draw. But it is good how we made it. I would change the title to "Blackcaps get rematch and Lords after World cup lost"

Title: Tornado hits South Auckland - Genre: Weather, National

I give all my prayers to the residents that have had to deal with loved ones being lost or their homes being ruined. I can't believe what I would do if  that happened to me and my family. But what the government is doing is great and I fully respect it. I would change to title to " Tornado Smacks down in Auckland.

Could you eat that much Ice Cream?

Reading W7

 Hello,

This week for reading we did matariki. We read an aritcle about if Matariki should be a public holiday. If you don't know what Matariki is it's basically a cluster of 9 stars that starts the Maori new year. It is a time of celebrating  with family and friends. Our Goal was : Identify some text events and features, and discuss what they make the reader think about. Our DLO was to make a star and at every point and in the middle write if we think Matariki should be a public holiday. Here is mine. 

Do you think Matariki should be a Public Holiday?
