Asmah and Nicola from Joy Paton on Vimeo.

Hello, this is Asmah's and I's ( Nicky ) presentation on Eid. Through out this learning proses I've learnt so many new things and I hope you learn a thing or two as well.

My Christmas acrostic poem: Nicky

Christmas is a time for giving
Having a day with your family
Remembering Jesus Christ
Informing your family that you care
Saving the day by having fun and giving
Tree decorating and present making
Making your family happy
A day full of joy
Singing Christmas songs.

My art reflection: Nicky

               

Art: Reflecting on my Endless Rhythm Painting

1. Are you pleased with your Endless Rhythm painting? why / why not?

I am very pleased with my art because I like the colour choice I used.

2. What did you find easy when you created your Endless Rhythm painting?

Mixing the colours and painting was really easy.

3. What part did you find tricky when you were creating your Endless Rhythm painting? -think about painting, ruling it up tracing plates, cups, etc.

Tracing the plates was a bit tricky because I had to keep it very still which was a bit frustrating.

4. Who / What helped you when you were painting?

Miss Paton helped me as well as her art group by showing us which part we were going to paint for the day.

5. What would you do differently next time? Think about: colours, painting, ruling up, etc.

I might choose a different colour theme when I start painting.

6. What frustrated you when you created your Endless Rhythm painting?

Mixing the purple was a bit frustrating because all I got out of that was either dark blue, dark maroon or really faint purple.

This is when I first did my presentation with my partner Pace. Our presentation was all about Valentines Day, when I first started to study this subject I was learning straight away. I hope you learn something too!

This is my Term 4 tasks to complete, as you can see I've probably done more than half of my work. There's still one more week of school so some tasks we haven't even started yet but we will maybe next week. This year has been really fun, especially all of the topic work because that's the main subject that I enjoy! 

This is my rubric with my presentation: Nicky

This is how I did on my presentation which is below this post, except Asmah and I had to present our presentation in front of the class. When the time had come where We had to show everyone our presentation I was nervous and yet excited. I think that I need to work on remembering the information so I don't have to repetitively look at my cue cards, though I think that I looked at my cards half as much as some people would. I also believe that I should work on a loud voice, so everyone can hear me.
