My Inquiry Evaluation

I Think Our Team (Elsie, Penny, Anna & Emma) Did Really
Well We Worked Well Together But We Got A Bit Stressed
Out With The Filming We Were Having Teacnical Difficulties
But We Got There And It Was Fun Creating A Movie Together
But We Still Need To Do A Bit More Editing.

Next Steps:
Maybe Next Time We Could Be A Bit More Organised
Because We Went To Go Get Started With Filming And We
Didn't Even Know How To Work The Camera And It Wasn't
Even Charged So We Need To Be More Organised Next Time

Team Work:
Again I Think We Worked Well As A Team But We
Need To Learn To Just Keep It Simple Because
We Got Stressed Out With The Fact That We Had Put
All Our Costumes And We Couldn't End Up Filming!

So That's How Our Inquiry Went!

My Essay Evaluation

I think my essay was well written but it was a bit un-polished and it could use a bit more work because it was a bit repetative like it had quite a lot of the same sentence starters so it was good but it can use a bit more work so i'll do a bit more work on that

Persuasive Essay-My Essay On Why The All Blacks Shouldn't Be Fired

WHY THE ALL BLACKS COACHES
SHOULD KEEP THEIR JOBS

The full time whistle blows and this is a shocker, the All Blacks have lost the quarter final game against France and they are out of the world cup.
Intro, Final & Rugby

Dear New Zealand Rugby Federation,
I’m Elsie & I am writing to you to give my opinion about the All Blacks Coaches getting fired. One man bet 5.8 Million on the All Blacks winning the game and part of that is probably because they know the coaches have amazing skill. I think it’s bizarre that after one game they get fired. I mean I know it’s the world cup but still it’s a couple of jobs gone. I bet the coaches are devastated that they have now lost their jobs as rugby coaches to one of the best New Zealand Teams.
Opinion, First Subject/Segment/Opinion

The All Blacks have come this far in the world cup with the same coaches every game. In four years time we might not have all the players that we do now and we most definitely won’t have the same coaches next year for example Graham Henry has been a coach for at least one year and a great one at that.
Coaches, Irritating

Since France won the quarter-final everyone has been suspicious that the Ref wasn’t being as fair as he could have. Some people are even saying that he was the reason that the All Blacks lost and have evened rumoured that he was only 24 even if he wasn’t he still was being un-fair.
Ref, Fair


So I think that the coaches should stay because:
-They have been with us for a while
-They are great to the team
-Have trained them well to come this far.
Reasons

So listen to me please don’t fire the All Blacks coaches
because they have trained the All Blacks very well I mean look at
where they are now.

Term 4 Goals

Personnel Goals:1.For my personnel goal
This includes school aswell
Is to be more self confident
because I have been saying things
like "oh i'm not going to make it"
and I did so that's my personnel goal
and I think it's important
to have self confident.
How Will I Achieve This?
I will probably get better at things
that i'm not good at becauase of
the things i have been saying so
if I had not said those things
I would probably be better at them so
if you say i'm not going to make
it you won't but if you say you will you will.

Term 4 Goals

School Goals:2.Because it's my last term at
primary school I want it to be
the best so to do that I am going
to get involved in everything I can
like receptionist mediators and
things like that.
How Will I Achieve This?
I will have badges and some sort of
visual proof

Term 4 Goals

School Goals:1.This term I want to try really
hard to not but in while someone
else is talking because I seem
to be doing that a lot so that's
one of my school goals.
How Will I Achieve This?
I will think before i talk
so I can make sure no one else is

Feedback on Term 3 Speech - Bad Habits

3.18 Great intro using example of someone's reaction which grabbed our attention. Clear voice. Gave lots of examples of bad habits. Great eye contact. Summary gave an overview of speech.

Next Steps:
Using gestures more. Possibly slow down a little.

Refelction

Today I Learned:
How To Do Square Routs in maths
Because Of This Learning I Can Now:
Do Them When I get to intermidiate
The Next Step in my learning is:
To learn how 2 do square routs with 2's beside them

Speech Reflection

On the 10th of september I presented my spech on bad habits to Rm 14.
I think I presented it in a loud lear voice and everyone was laughing and
gasping at the facts so the class liked it but I thought that I didn't really use
my normal voice because i was so nearvous I was only the 2nd person in
the whole class and they students in the class voted my score 24 out of 25.
So I think I did an ok job on my speech but next time I would like to
practise a bit more so I'm not as nearvous.

Firstclass-Reflection

I think that some of us are using them really well for booking and
school projects but then others are using them for instant
messaging all the time and are not using them for the right reasons.
But what some people don't know is that the teachers get all the e-mails
but people are just doing e-mails like hi and they send it to everyone!

S.L.C-Reflection

I Think My Student led conference went rather well
because my parents were amused throughout the
whole thing and they were asking lots of useful questions
and they were very interested in everything I was saying.
They especially enjoyed the visual Thesaurus and mum
would like to us it more often at home.

(I Recorded Feedback On Postits)

Reflection On Diference

Q.How Do I Treat People
From Different Cultures?
A.I treat them like anyone
else because they are.

Q.How are people from
different cultures the same?
A.They just look different on the
outside and maybe a different language
maybe but they are completely the same
on the inside.

Q.How can we make new
people feel welcome?
A.We just treat them the same
and of course the commen scence
qoute "treat others the way you want to be
treated"

Q.What might I (have) Done /do
that makes people feel different?
A.Maybe Sometimes when people that are from
a different culture are standing beside someone
who just got invited to their house or to a
birthday party and they feel a bit left out and
then that might make them feel different.

Dear Tania,

I am Elsie from Fendalton Open Air Primary School
And I read the busker and I really think you need a reality check you’re not the queen of England if you were you wouldn’t be here.
You are going to miss out on a great boy and you won’t realise because you didn’t give him a chance.
You only care about going out in taxis and getting manicures.

You should start treating people the way you want to be treated because at this point I agree with the boy in the story go jump in a lake. Maybe next time you should talk to him first because you might actually like them and if they can’t afford to take you out in taxi’s then that’s your loss!!!!

I have a question for you about the book. Why do you only choose to go out with boys who can talk you out in taxis it’s only the way you get there how can you tell if you like him by the way he takes you out.
So take my advice go out with the boy but only if you have talked to him and you’re sure you like him.

Yours Faithfully

Elsie Whelan
