Inquiry Reflection

Before we started this Inquiry unit I didn't know much at all about the history of NZ wars.Now I know that WWI was started by an assassination of Franz Ferdinand of Austra Hungaria by some Serbian terrorists.The wars NZ has been involved in impact NZ today because if we had not fought in these wars we would not be able to be backed up by other countries if there were other wars today!

Maths Reflection





This is my Maths Matrix for Time. I have completed this Matrix by getting at least 90% in the test or for the ones I didn't pass doing workshops, practice activities then doing an assessment and getting 100% in the assessment. This will help me pass Stage 8 because I will be able to pass the one's that include time easily because I have learnt new time strategies that will help! I am proud of this because I have almost completed Stage 8 for my Numeracy Passport.

This is my Numeracy Passport!

Inquiry Reflection














This is my Inquiry Lyrics for my Inquiry challenge this week. The learning intention for this weeks inquiry was to explain the changes that happen to both boys and girls during puberty. For this task we had to get lyrics from a song and change them to describe the changes that happen to girls and boys during puberty, they had to be physical, emotional and social changes! :)
