Nicholas' Learning

Look at my passion project about Mario before I share with the class. Still working on the PP so it might be quite short.

What: We have been working with Room 1, 2 and 11 to complete our mural for the school. So What: My group did Buzzy Bee and I was happy about the face and how it turned out. Now What: I would take out the black mark on the lower left corner of the board and do another coat on the antenna and the ball.

I think that the flag should stay the same as we have now. There is no point in spending millions of money just to change the flag. So what if our flag kinda looks like the Australian flag.

So What: Type up 2 closed and open questions to show your understanding. Closed: When did they come up with the idea and how long did it take to create. Open : What was the Internet originally going to be used for .

What: we worked together in a group to learn and perform a play for the class. So what: : My role was palace attendant 3, We co operated by voting for who gets what role and if they would do good. Now what: I could improve on reading more slowly and with a clear voice so everyone can hear me .

Writing: I want to work on my ideas, my order of my story and paragraphs. Reading: Try not to speak too fast and have a clear voice. Maths: I want to work on mite complicated uncommon denominator fractions. Self Awareness: I still need to work on finding the right place to learn and stay focused in learning because I slowly drift away from learning and get caught up in distractions. I will do this by moving to another spot when distracted.

What: Walt: Describe how text features make reading interesting. Now what: Try to have a clear voice and pay attention to the commas and full stops.
