Actions using school values

WALT describe specific actions that will help us show the T.P.S school values at our school

Today I did an activity related to the T.P.S school values were we had to create a D.L.O showing information about ways to show actions in our school and to make sentences related to them.
This D.L.O shows all the information and sentences that my group and I came up with.
I think that these actions will help us teach the younger students to follow the school values and make relationships with each other not just a few people. I believe that is that happens then everyone in the school will like each other for who they are not for who want to be.

So that's the D.L.O my group and I came up with.
Please leave some comments or feedback and forward.

Confidence in a person


WALT define confidence

Today I did an activity on confidence. We had to create a D.L.O showing information and words that make up a confident person.After that we had to create a brain storm and choose 5 words that we thought made us confident and write a reflection about how it makes us confident,My 5 keywords I chose were Takes challenges,Supportive,Good listener,Growth mindset and leadership.I chose these words because they best describe me as a confident person.
Here is my reflection.
A confident person to me is someone who shows growth mindset and  takes challenges and doesn't say they can't do it. Of course a confident person has to be confident and not be afraid, they can be nervous and all but they still take the challenge to perform or say a speech in front of a large crowd. A confident person is also someone who shows leadership in everything they do and doesn't blame things on other people,also encourages others to be show respect not be disrespectful. This leads us into being supportive. 1 thing I like the most about a confident person is that they encourage and persuade others to present or perform.

So thats what a confident person to me looks like whem i'm using those 5 words.
Thank you for listening and please leave some comments or feedback and forward.

Thank you.

Identifying My Strengths


I am learning to identify and describe my strengths
Today for inquiry I created a D.L.O that defines what my strengths are and how I show them.


Before starting this task we created a paddle that helps explain one specific strength that you think you show the most.

Doing this task has helped me explain how I show my strengths and how to work on showing my other strengths.

One thing I have learnt is that when your talking about your strengths your not talking about physical strength your talking about mental strength and things that you think help explain to people strengths that you think you have.

Division maths task

WALT solve how many sets of and sharing division problems using multiplication and reversibility.

Today for maths we were learning about how to use a smiley hundreds board to help us with solving word problems. The smiley hundreds board is exactly like a hundreds board just changed from numbers to smiley faces.

One thing I learnt is that division is all about sharing or splitting into equal groups.
Another thing I learnt is that some division facts cant be shared equally.
