Life Ed!

Every two years Paihia School gets to go to a caravan and get s to talk to a puppet and learn about something. This year we were learning about relationships. You may be thinking we  shouldn't be learning about boyfriends and girlfriends, but we were actually learning about friendship relationships. Let's stop talking about the non juicy part, let's talk about the puppet! The puppet's name is Harold, so is the caravan. Harold is a giraffe that doesn't necessarily talk but does whisper in Terri's ( The owner of Harold )  ears because she isn't a ventriloquist so she can't speak with Harold's lips movie while Terri's lip's were movie or else that would look very weird!

End Of Term Reflection

In Te Maunga is is nearly the end of term 3 and we have been writing end of term reflections. We had a document with some questions on it and we had to choose four of those questions to write the answers of them. I am just going to show you a picture of all the questions on the google doc:

Those were all the questions that we had to pick out of. I know, hard right! Here is my reflection:

Overall my term was… because:

My term was challenging because everything was at a higher level than my actual level so that made things hard. Also if I paired with anyone, they would expect me to tell them what to do and sometimes I don’t know what to do and that affects our whole pair.

What I am particularly grateful for:

I am grateful for all the friends that help me and are so kind to me, I am grateful for the amazing effort that all the teachers give to us kids and I am grateful to have such a great, environmental school.

What was the most challenging part of the term for you? Why?

The most challenging part of the term for me was when everyone relies on me to do everything for them because it is challenging to do so much work on my own with no one to help me.

What is something you accomplished this term that you are proud of?

I accomplished my reading goal which was to ask questions as I read. It was very important to me to accomplished that so I could have moved up a level and have a harder, more challenging goal. I was so proud when I was evidencing it and I was ready for a new goal!
