Netbook Reflection 2O13

The special thing I have learnt from my teacher this year was maths. I learnt a lot of new things from her.

The significant thing I have learnt all by myself was Maths Whizz. It was challenging but also fun.

What I have learnt from my friend was to always take the right path and to never give up. TRY YOUR BEST!

I have also been learning from some people outside of the classroom. They told me not to copy the bad things some of my frineds do, "Just be yourself" they told me.

I have helped other kids by becoming a Peer Mediator, When I became a P.M, I helped people out when they are in fights.

I have grown my key competencies by becoming a school leader and also becoming a school councillor.

BIG QUESTION

Having a netbook connected to the internet helped me access my learning on our school/class blog sites writing templates, sunshine online, maths whizz, study ladder, and other learning topics. The internet has been really useful and helpful to me. I prefer working on my netbook instead of pencil and paper. Using my netbook has helped me learn, create, and share my work. I'm also able to think, manage myself by learning anywhere, anytime, any place.

My Awesome Day At DANCE FEVER!!!!

Today, our morning was really fun. We had another awesome day at Dance Fever. In the morning, we were told that they will be running late so we finished off some work from yesterday. As we were doing our work, another message was told to us and they said that Captain and Christina made it here and it was time to shake. It was raining cats and dogs outside so we had to run for our lives. When we got there, Captain was set and ready to jingle. We all made our ways inside and waited for our instructions. “Everyone, 

we are going to start off with our Foxtrot routine”  said Captain and Christina. But before we could dance, they showed us how to walk in before we dance. Us girls, we use our peacock feathers with one arm up in the air like a ‘girly girl’ with one lazy finger and the boys show off their peacock feathers. We went through that for some time and then we went on to dancing. We practiced without the music first, as usual. They wanted to check our movements and how we danced before the music was played. They would walk around to check up on us and then played the music. The song that was played was a song from Chris Brown, one of our favourite singers. We kind of fangirled, but it’s a part of life. You know? Anyways, we danced to that song until it was finished and then they would play it again. Until, we were finally DONE!

Our next routine was the Cha Cha! We found our own space with our partners and then we dance in that spot. We danced without the music, again. “5, 6, 7, 8!” counted Christina. We were dancing to the instructions that Christina was saying through the microphone. “Moving to the left, left, right, left, other foot” said Christina. It went on and on and on. Christina stopped us a couple of times because of how we were dancing. Our energy was really low. They demonstrated it to us perfectly and then we were on the stage of doing it just like how they did it. They did the same thing. Walk around checking up on us and then they play the music if we are PERFECT. The song was from a New Zealand singer, Aaradhna. The song was really fast so it was a bit hard to catch up. My partner and I were really confused because of how fast the song was going. We were also laughing at our wrong moves and enjoying ourselves. That went on until the best part of the day came, Hip Hop.

The Hip Hop routine was my favourite routine. It was really catchy, groovy, and funny. Some of the moves were funny and cool at the same time. We walked into our cannon lines and got ready to put our attitude on. Boom Boom by Justice Crew was played and we were shifting from this move to that move. The music was fast but funny. Some moves we didn’t really know how to do but we just acted like we knew it. “Boom Boom, it’s getting HOT in here!” the song sang as we had fun dancing to the music. It was downhill from there. We had some time at the end to do a little fun dance. GANGNAM STYLE, BABY!!! We did the same dance that we did last week. The weird but funny and groovy dance. We did that dance until it was time to leave. I was sad when we had to leave. We all said CATCH YOU LATER CHRISTINA and LATERS CAPTAIN!. We skipped back to class and got ready to learn. I can’t wait until next week.
