Deer Lake Reflection Day #2

. .. ..This week we had gone canoeing at Deer Lake.  Overall it was okay, I would have liked the walk around the lake but, we were told that we would only be walking a bit then we would go back, if i knew that i wouldn’t have worn the shoes i usually wear because they’re skater shoes and I felt all of the small rocks under my feet and it just, wasn’t nice, it’s like walking bare feet on the gravel, and don’t get me started on small pointy rocks. The canoeing part wasn’t the best but certainly better than the walk, the part that was most annoying is that when I was in the back saying the orders my partner wasn’t following them and got distracted and stopped rowing at the sight of a feather. a feather, there had been so many other feathers, how did she not notice them? I liked eating my lunch in a car though, that was fun, and eating a crepe. But it was an okay experience. I’m not sure if I’ll ever want to do it again but, I’m glad i tried it.

(There were no photos of me, I was always in the corner or cut out ō-ō)

YAP Reflection

…..YAP was a very enjoyable experience, I loved it, I am almost certain that everyone loved YAP.   On the first day we used props and couldn’t talk, our peers had to guess what we were pretending it was, i got a bone and pretended it was a bow tie.  After that we were split into groups and got card and had to walk on it, like; hot sand, jumping on rocks, and electric floor. Finally we were got into groups of four  and were given a card they had lines for person A,B,C,and D i got person A for a group with these lines; A: What is that B: I don’t know, i just found it here. C: What does it do? D: Lets try it out! I was person A and was killed by Stella (person D). I wasn’t here for the  second day all I know is that they were doing masks. For the third day we did improv (improvisation), I did a short skit with Marcus, the skit was; I was selling a car and Marcus wanted to buy it but he thought the price was too high and had to think of ways for me to lower the price, I had to thing of why he should buy it for the price that i had given. Improvising is a good skill to have if you do and acting because if you forget the script you can’t say “DANG IT!! i forgot the script!!” on stage, you’d need to improvise what to say, next we were split into groups of two and we were giving non-existent gifts and the other person had to say what it was (the gift receiver), we continued giving non-existent gifts until Director Mike gave us something new. The new thing we did was a story where our word starting every sentence were “yes, and” our first starting sentence was ” Do you remember when we went to the beach?” the second starting sentence was “Do you remember when we found $10B in my backpack?” . Once we finished that we did skits and were in groups. the first one was about kids in a class who ask questions so the audience can guess their personalities.  the next one was a bus stop and everyone got a personality to act (like the last one) Yes Ms. Carley it’s not done because you just told us to publish

Forest

  I wonder how many animals have stepped on the ground there? The difference between Barnet Marine Park and the Forest is that Barnet Marine Park has lots of sandy grounds and the Forest has lots of pine needles covered in soft dirt with thin sticks, fat sticks,and logs on top of the dirt. I wonder what animals turned into that dirt? I  wonder what that dirt did when it was breathing, walking, flying, when it was thriving in the wild, eating berries, delicious meat, and vegetables?

I Am From

I am from the sunny park of Dawson street.                                                                            The warm sun shining down on us in summer,                                                                        The cold,soft,white snow falling down and covering the slide in winter

I am from the caring hugs of my mother and brother.                                                         The fun times we had laughs,                                                                                                          The times my Mother comforted me when I was hurt.

I am from Shadbolts.                                                                                                                            The beautiful leaves that change in the fall                                                                              The soft dancing,The loud dancing.

I am from the scary Halloween decorations,                                                                     the kids collecting delicious candy

I am from me.

Artifact Share Reflection

.     These are my artifacts! The reason I brought these in instead of something else is because my Mom bought them for me on a family trip! why do I hold them close? because my Mom has been one of the only people who have been there for me, now i need to “describe” it… ok? the stuffy is soft, its a dark lavender,a light grassy green, a purple-ish magenta over the eyes, green and black eyes, and a light pink belly. i got the stuffy at a gift shop on our way to the Royal Tyrrell Museum (which was AWESOME! you should go there). I got it from a cashier at a gift shop. How is it connected to my culture? I dunno, i dont have a culture. How does it show I’m connected to place? I’m not, i wanna travel the world and see all of the seven wonders of the world.

Draw What You See Art

.     Our class at the start of the year did a draw what you see art, what we did is our teacher gave us a few plants to pick from to draw but… we had to only do it in sharpies. We all picked plants to draw, I drew a rose. I first started out by drawing the stem and the tiny thorns. Next i started drawing the petals, it was quite hard to get them as similar as i could to the real rose. And finally i coloured with colouring pencils, that part was also hard because the sun was moving and the shadows were moving so i couldn’t do the shading very well. Overall I’m proud of my art and I’m glad i tried my best.

Field Experience at Barnet Marine Park

.     On October 4th our class went to Barnet Marine Park. We went there to learn about plants and animals.  To go there we took two bus rides, when we got there we ate lunch and then looked for one animal and one plant, if we wanted to we could choose however many animals and plants but we had to have AT LEAST one of each. Kayla(Chelsea’s sister) and I worked together to find crabs, shells, rocks, etc. we ended up finding a dead crab, two purple rocks ( I gave one to Kayla and one to my Mom ), some shells, and a weird bug both of us saw. My favourite part was watching some boys ( I forgot who it was) ninja run down a ramp, it was funny i wanted to scream   “NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”  because the ninja run came from an anime called “Naruto”. When we were at the beach i enjoyed picking up  handfuls of sand and looking for tiny specks of gold. I kind of want to go there just so I can run down the ramp screaming “NARUTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” because I think it would be funny and amusing. The reason this trip was important to me is because it was a fun social experience and I think most of us want to go back including me.

Personal and Social

.      I am aware of how others may feel and take steps to help them feel included. I have showed this at recess , Lunch , and building activities. At lunch/ recess once I was playing with my friends and I noticed that someone (my friend) wasn’t being included so I told everyone playing “guys this person isn’t being included” but of course I actually said their name, but I would do this for anyone and everyone. I can grow by making sure I’m also included because sometimes I’m not included and I don’t do anything about it.

Comunication

.       I can recount simple experiences and activities to tell something i learned. I show this in Eportfolios, I can go on a field trip, or do something important at school like this, or activities in a new unit ,or if I do a write like the “Stuck in a Snow globe” write back in winter and do a reflection on it a few weeks later  and remember what i was feeling and thinking while writing/typing. I can grow by writing small notes and playing memory games to improve my memory so i can remember more activities.
