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

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.

Thinking

.     I can ask open ended questions and a gather information, I showed this in C.I.P and A.I.P. In C.I.P I thought of questions to ask my Mom and Dad like, “When did you meet Dad?” and “Where did you meet Mom?” or “When did you marry Dad?” and ” When/where were you born?”. In A.I.P i searched up questions like “How do you tell the difference between a male Orca and a female Orca?” and ” How do Orcas stay warm in the cold water?”.  How i can grow is i can ask more questions in other projects like this.

Track and Cross-Country

l    This year i was finally able to do Cross-Country and Track it was really fun running and meeting new people i made a friend in Cross-Country and i saw two of my dance friends at the Track meets, their names are Sofia and Angela.  The race in Cross-Country that i did the best in i got 81st with the grade 4 girls and boys running together and i got 3rd on the 200m at track.  Tomorrow is the final meet (today is April 30th) im so excited to run the races and run with my relay team

My Goals For Term Three

.     My Goals For Term Three are to put down my device at home and read a lot more because I want to find more books that i love.  There are so many books that I’m sure I would love but I don’t know about them.  my favourite books are Akward, Brave, Polly And The Pirates and Any DanTDM book.  Another goal is trying to progress more in my drawing i love to draw so i think i should draw more at home and school because i think i could try to get a better grade in art.  These are two of my goals for term three.

Mystery Science Reflection

.     For the last two weeks we have been working on mystery science, the questions were How Do The Sun And Moon Influence Us? Why Dose The Sun Rise And Set? Who Set The First Clock? Why Do the Stars Change With The Seasons? and How Can The Sun Tell You The Season? My favourite one was Who Set The First Clock? i really enjoyed making the sun dial.  Something i learned is that the stars change every year because the earth dose two orbits it spins and it goes around the sun and that is why the constellations change each season.  Also i wasn’t here when the class did Why Does The Sun Rise and Set?  I also don’t know how the sun rises and sets.  I definitely enjoyed doing Mystery Science and would love to do more questions.

A.I.P Reflection Killer Whales

.    I am super proud of my A.I.P (Animal Inquiry Project).  I loved learning about Killer Whales, I learned so much!  One adaption is that they are white at the bottom so when fish look up they think the see sunlight but what they actually see is the belly of something that is about to eat them but when they notice it’s a killer whale it’s already dead.  Another fact is that they have blubber to keep the cold out and the warmth in.  When it was the day before the due date I dedicated the whole day to my project I worked on it for 30 minutes then i took a 10 minute break and on and on and on i got a lot of help from my dad.  I loved working on this project i hope we do something like this again!

Field Trip To Extreme Air Park

     Extreme Air park is a super fun place to jump!  I think we should go there because we will be able to learn new tricks on a trampoline so if we get a job that involves trampolines we will already know a bit.  Going to Extreme Air Park would also be super fun and exciting!  Also if we went  we would be very active.  We would definitely get over 10,000 steps/jumps.  I would love to go to Extreme Air Park and I think the rest of the class would like to go to!
