Student Led Conference Reflection

The things I enjoyed most about my SLC was sharing my AsTTle test with my parents because achieved good scores and I was really proud of it.

The thing that went really well was sharing it because all the links worked and everything went smoothly.

I was most challenged by the integrated learning slide because we haven't done much about leadership lately so I had to refresh my memory.

Next time when I do my SLC the thing I would do differently is add more detail to my integrated learning slide and my PE and Koru games slide.

On Friday I had Kapa Haka.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the hall foyer. Then I entered the hall respectfully and sat down in my spot. When everyone had arrived we started warming up our voices.

We sang He Honere and Pa Mai.  Once we had finished singing these songs the non performance group went back to class. Then Mr Brown told the performance group that we were performing at the school open day in a couple of weeks. We found out that we will be singing He Honere and our school song Taitapu.

To practice these songs we lined up the way we would when we're performing. We ran through Taitapu a few times and then we moved onto He Honere. When we were singing this we kept going sharp so we practiced till we got it right. Once we had we practiced Pa Mai.

As many people didn't know the actions a few of us had to go to the front and do the actions. I was one of the people picked. We went through the song until everyone knew the actions. Once they did we ran through our Cultural festival performance.

The songs in this are Hareuia, Tahurihuri, Taitapu and the Haka. (What I did).

I showed Respect by transitioning to the hall and back quietly.

I showed leadership by doing the actions up the front.

Community: Being aware of others when we got on the bus by not putting my hand out to block people and not shoving others out of the way.

Active Thinking: I was one of the first on so I went to the back so when the last people got on they wouldn't have to walk all the way to the back of the bus.

Excellence Evidence Kapa Haka 3

Kapa Haka

On Friday I had Kapa Haka.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer. Next I entered the hall and sat quietly in my spot. When everyone had arrived we started singing our school song Taitapu. We are working on singing louder and with more pride.

After we had gone through the song a couple more times we split off into groups and they were short poi, long poi, raku and the Haka. I had to go outside and practice long poi with the rest of the year 8 girls.

When we were  outside we practiced the poi. We made a routine and everyone got to have a say in what they thought should be in it as long as it was appropriate.

When we had got the routine sorted we practiced as a group. We realised then that we were all changing to the next action at different times so we practiced when we were going to change. When we were doing this we all got confused because there was no beat. To solve the problem we asked Matua Rihari to come outside and play the guitar.

After that we went back inside and practiced transitions until Kapa Haka was over. (What I did).

I showed Excellence because I was being resilient in the poi when we were all changing at different times.

I showed Leadership by helping others in the poi

Reason with linear proportions

National standard one: Combine simple proportions to work out what parts the whole is made up in a unit of 10 like 3 yellow with 7 blue, 5 yellow with 5 blue, 4 yellow with 6 blue. Say what the fraction and percentage of each stack is for yellow and blue.

National standard two: Combine proportions to work out what parts the whole is made up of using non-multiple of 10 like 8 yellow :5 blue :4 white with 11 yellow :11 blue :11 white (19:16:15 and 38% :32% :30%). 


Here is a screenshot of my progress on the IXL activities.



To figure this out I used cross checking. To do this you multiply the numerator and denominator on both the fractions like a cross as shown in example. If the numbers match at the end they are a proportion

On Friday I had Kapa Haka.

First I walked respectfully down to the hall and took my shoes off in the foyer.

The year 8 girls went outside and practiced the long poi. We practiced our routine and that's when we realised not everyone can do all the actions so I took them away and taught them. When they could nearly do it we returned to the group and continued practicing. We did this for the rest of the time. (What we did).

I showed Excellence by being resilient when teaching some of the girls how to do the actions.

I showed leadership by teaching some of the girls the poi.
