Legacy Writing 2017

Working hard, setting a goal. Crossing that line of success is what I'm about.

Rico is a fantastic leader because he makes mature decisions and he always uses respectful language to people. He makes sure everyone is included in games He also helps people if they get stuck on something they're not sure of. Rico self-managed on the polyfest night, by making sure he was there on time and looking after costumes. He took a risk and performed with pride.

A goal Rico achieved this year is being able to show leadership to younger students, and how he can be trustworthy. Another goal Rico achieved was being able to self-manage out of school and in school

Rico’s next steps are to gain more confidence so he is not shy in sharing his learning!, He is also working really hard to sit with the right people when he is working, and making sure he finishes his work on time.

Athletics learning story 2017

Athletics this year, Everyone use to be scared of athletics but this year people came ready like real athletes

I came first in four events the events I was good at was, High jump, Long distance, sprints, and vortex.

In high jump, I managed to make it over the cluster standard by following Mrs.Whiting’s advice which was lift your arms up high when you’re gonna jump and to lift your bottom up so it doesn’t touch the pole. I also told myself I could do it and I visualized myself jumping over the pole.

In long distance, I was good at keeping my pace and taking long steps. Tawhiri gave me some helpful advice and told me to go to the first line to my right so I would have less time to go around corners. I also stayed in front of people so they couldn’t go past me and if they tried to go around I moved with them.

 

In sprints, I got better at keeping my head up. I also put people off by waving to them. It was really challenging because I went up against the fastest people in the school!, But I just kept my head up and kept sprinting.

I was good at vortex by throwing a bit high but not to low. Vortex was kinda hard because there were heaps of strong people that could throw far and the cluster standard was kind of far. So I took a big step and threw it hard and high, by doing that I made it to the cluster standard

My next steps are to not be scared of my events and just do it and to keep listening out for helpful advice

Poly fest learning story 2017 (Edit)

Hi there i'm going to tell you about my experience in poly fest!, You don't know what poly fest is?. Well it's about pacific cultures sharing there culture, through dancing and singing. Now I will tell you what I was good at and a little on what happen on the night.


The first thing I was good at as was managing my self. I managed myself by choosing appropriate behaviours, attending all practices, And looking after costumes and gear. I also made sure I was sitting next to people that won't distract me and people that are really committed to the group. These people were keelan and diantey they also inspired me to give it my hardest!.


I was also good at relating to others by supporting others to dance, and by putting my line in there correct positions. I was really good at relating to others by having fun with the people in my group and practising really cool dances for the end of our performance

The key competencies I used was Managing self, Relating to others, and participating and contributing

These key competencies got me what I wanted and needed by: Making sure I was Committed to the group. I also listened and watched very carefully to the actions and the words I also made sure my line was in there correct positions unlike some other kids were sitting in the wrong places!.


On the night of polyfest all of the groups performed there hearts off!, and smiled. I reckon that was the most funnest polyfest night of my life everyone was enjoying there dances most people in the groups turned up, and the audience loved the performances!.

This is me!

Hey!, My name is Rico I am twelve years old and I am going to tell you about myself, Well just some stuff!. As you might know, I got to Corinna! I really enjoy learning in this learning space, Because my friends will always help me when I'm stuck on something, I can participate and contribute in mostly everything!, Well except for maths usually I just sit there and watch them do the work :) Or sometimes I actually like maths. My favourite subject in school is reading I like reading it’s so fun! You can learn different things in books!, Like discover new words!. You can also experience new adventures which are really fun and exciting!.

My hobbies

What I really enjoy out of school time is mostly gaming and soccer these two activities really entertain me. The games I play are Tanki online and that’s it, I don’t like call of duty! As some people really like it. Little kids don’t play it! It’s really boring and violent I've played it and experienced some supernatural things that you wouldn’t want to know. Ok, that’s enough about games let’s move onto soccer!. Soccer is a very fun sport if you love running!, The reason why I like soccer is that I want to be like Antoine griezmann he’s one of the best players in the world!. And what I like about soccer is its so fun. And to be honest i really suck at the game :) .

Rico's Reading learning story 2017

In Reading.

My book is called: The Hobbit

It is a: Fiction book, Based on an actual movie.

It's purpose is to:Intrest and hook the reader in, And maybe even tell the reader a little bit about the movie.

I located information: So i found out that The house bilbo lives in actually has nothing in it. Which is really weird because in the movie there are tables seats and even cupboards.

I inferred and idea:So i worked out that

Bilbo's feet actual grows shoe soles and he has hair around his feet to keep him warm.

I evaluated:So i think that ballin and dwallin want to take bilbo hostage, Because they know hes special.


I've been wondering about this book.

Why doesn't bilbo's house have all the features? Like it does in the movie?. Plus why were dwillan and billan Inside bilbo's house with a table?. Which is weird because it said there is nothing in the house. Text from the book "There is nothing in bilbo's house No tables No chairs No nothing!.


Blurb


Whisked from his comfortable Hobbit-Whole By gandalf the wizard and a band of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of smaug the magnificent, A large and very dangerous dragon.........

Is that enough information to hook you into a movie based story?.

Rico's Math's learning story.

So our problem was about Philomena and June. This problem was called Hop Skip And Jump.

So Philomena Hopped 1.01m Skipped .97m and Jumped 1.57. M (Metres)

June hopped 0.89m skipped 1.11m And jumped 1.50m

Firstly I added all the numbers together because there is no other way. If you multiplied what will you multiply? If you divided? What will you divide and why?.

This is what I did

1.01

0.97

1.57

_____

3.55

This was Philomena's first go.

1.01+0.97+1.57= 3.55

Junes first go.

0.89

1.11

1.50

____

3.50

0.89+1.11+1.50= 3.50

Philomena won by .5m

June lost by .5m

In that first problem I pretty much used the same strategy, Same as the second problem.

Philomena second go.

1.001+.907+1.4m=3.308

Junes second go

.909+1.01+1.3591=3.3681.
