Eli's Year Book Report Writing Drafts

Ricoh Tournement writing 

On the 28th of August 2015, the Ricoh Tournament took place in Palmerston North. The Ricoh Tournament is a tournament that six schools in the Manawatu come together and play each other in sport. We have interviewed four people that played different sport at the Ricoh Tournament and represented Russell Street School. The people that were interviewed were asked a couple of questions and they sounded like they were very passionate about the sport they played. Russell Street School did very well and won two trophies! One for rugby and one for basketball. Sport is really easy to get addicted to and so easy to get passionate about. Cloverlea School did well because they were trained to use different techniques. Basketballer Maraki Aumua say it feels good to win over College Street School two times in a row. In basketball, Fraser Willcock was a very good sport and passed a lot. Hopefully next year Russell Street School will do as good as they did this year and hopefully get a couple more trophies.

Here is a photo of the rugby team who won

Inquiry

Description:in inquiry I choose to do impact project, we decided to clean out the road patrol cave out because all the road patrollers were scared of spider and all that.

It is helping the school because the road patrollers will be able to go into the shed and get the gear out easy.

We are thinking outside of the box because we used Tyers to make shelves 

How did we accomplish our goal? We made it all tidy and the road patrollers aren't scared anymore 

What was the most frustrating/ challenging part? When the group was having an argument and every was not working together we all have to say sorry.

 What was my proudest moment? When we doug out the yuck dirt it looked way better!!.  

Agency

I think I am a Self Managing  learner because I need to improve on being quiet so other people can learn.

The goal that I am currently working on is self managing 

The things I need to do to achieve this goal is walk through poutama quietly and find a quiet with no blockers.

These are my goals that I need to work on!

Big idea:at pae Tamariki I felt....  Because...

At Pae Tamariki, I felt nervous because it was my first time performing at the regent for kapa haka

I felt most proud of overcoming my fear

I found remembering the actions challenging because there were so many

I managed this challenge by coping the people in front of me

At Kapa Haka, I next want to become a leader.

Feedback/feedford:I think you did well on overcoming your fear and you  need to work on remembering the actions.

Writting portfolio sample

We had to make a story about this photo

Big idea:before we started writing we made a mountain plan to plan the  beginning problem and a resolution. We have to give the readers a clue. 

Here is my planning 

Here is my writing 

As I heard the fart of the big fat cat coming. My friend just got killed so I sneaked to get the meat WAWAWAWA I'm sorry sorry lets get back to the story. So I carried the cage over with  a squeeze through the door way. Here he come finally it's not my e getting bulled it's you Loser!! I have finally caught you. See Ya I'm gonna get some lunch.

So mr whiskers didn't really like bungee he was just acting. So the cage was all set up. 20 minutes later. Bang crash ha got you this time nah jokes wanna come out? Yes please ...

Feedback/feedford: I didn't really get the picture but great use of words and good ideas#jacobw

production

Description: Description: In Poutama on Fridays we have been focusing on wearable arts we had a taster of each of the teachers choice. Troys is Elements, Kate's is out of Africa, Rebecca's is Heroes and Villains. I chose Troy's Elements, there are different types that we could of picked, Earth,Wind ,and water, I chose Water.

This is the date that I'm done 16/9/15 this is what I have created 

1) The materials that I used to create my garment were: Carboard,milk bottle lids,paint,

2) The most challenging thing about production for me was: Finding things to Decarate my garment cause there is so much things to look through. 

3) One way I demonstrated a growth mindset during production was: I wanted to make a rain stick but after I panted and put tape on it the pin wouldn't go through the stick. I wanted to give up but I wanted a rain stick so I got some soft cardboard and now I have a rain stick.

4) Something I am really proud of about production was: finishing my garment with so much decarations on it.

5) Our school vision is to create agency, creativity and excellence. I showed this by: not going and buying things I up cycled like milk bottle lids.

Reading portfolio T3 2015

Description: in reading we had a choice to pick questioning or summarising and I picked sumarising  because I think I needed to work on it the most out of both of them. Summarising is say you read a story and you read and you want someone else to read a book you have read. You would get the main parts of the story and the keywords.

Task: the wasteman

The wasteman is made out of wood so I could be burnt down when is done the next day and it is a big person made out of rubbish and wood and chairs and tables and all that! I thought it was really cool and realistic because it's made of junk. 

This is the wasteman:

Big idea: I think this has helped me in my learning because when I want  someone to get a book or something like that I can tell them why and because it is so good.

Feedback/feedback: maybe next time you could add a little more detail.i like how you explained all about your goal. Max 

Evaluation: I think I did good on saying what wasteman was made out of. I think I need to work on putting more detail into it. 

Banned selfie sticks

Selfie sticks have become rather popular around the world, especially amongst tourists wishing to capture special moments and places.

Whether you want to include the view behind you or just want to fit a large group of people into the picture, selfie sticks are a handy tool for the perfect snap.

However, many places have banned the use of selfie sticks for safety and legal reasons. Below are they places where selfie sticks are not allowed!

1. Disneyland – all Disneyland theme parks have banned the use of selfie sticks for safety reasons after many people tried to use them on rides.

My opinion: so if the were riding on a roller coaster and there hand is hanging out the side and If pole went pass they would break there arm.

2. Wimbledon – the oldest tennis tournament in the world has also banned the device to stop any interference in the view of the game.

My opinion: so people can see past them 

3. Rome’s Colosseum, Palace of Versailles and London’s National Gallery – each of these popular tourist venues for art and architecture have banned selfie sticks to keep the devices from damaging the art.

My opinion: because they my smash the art over when they are waving them around .

4. Coachella – this annual music festival gathers millions of music lovers each year but none of them are allowed to bring along their selfie sticks! When the ban was announced some people actually gave up their tickets!

My opinion: because people can't see! 

5. The Kentucky Derby – This famous horse race has banned the use of selfie sticks in the best interest of both the horses and spectators.

My opinion: because the spectators can't see past the selfie sticks. And if they are waving the selfie sticks in the horses faces they won't like it.

Criteria: (Content)

• Video - 30 seconds long, time is limited. 
• Scenario - Show someone being stuck and not using the ability to act. 
• Clear Message - Short sharp clip. Can the watcher get the point of your video?
• Unique - Coming up with something funny that gets a laugh from others. 
• Time Passing - Do you need to show time passing in your clip to emphasise your message.

• Voice Volume - Needs to be louder than other background volume eg Noise, Kids.
• Frame - What’s in the frame to make your message obvious. 
• Steady Hands - Make sure the camera is still. 
• Individual Clips - Don’t do one continuous shot of 30 seconds. Make a range of short clips and join together
