My presentation on Eid: Nicky

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 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.

Eid ~ Nicky and Asmah's presentation

This our ( Asmah's and I's ) presentation on Eid, I have learnt so much and you will too, that's if you read this presentation.

Nicky's Netbook Reflection 2013

Nicky's Netbook Reflection 2013
These last couple of years I have found using a netbook easy in some ways, and a little difficult in other ways. Continue reading and you’ll find out exactly what I mean.

The Barriers with using my netbook are . . . . . ( The unfortunate parts )
Here’s one bad thing about my netbook, is having to constantly charge the battery, my battery hasn’t actually become empty but it has been really close to that stage, when it gets to that point I would have to charge it for a long time. Another unfortunate part about my netbook is when it loads really slow or doesn't load at all, then I can’t get on to any of my work which really is a bummer. If I have an accident with my netbook, there will be a big consequence by having to pay up to 70 dollars, and that’s a lot of money to pay for an accident..

The awesome parts of having a netbook . . . . . . . .
One amazing thing about having a netbook is that you store a lot of information on it like saving passwords which is really helpful, if I don’t remember my password I would keep thinking and thinking until I remember. Another helpful thing about having a netbook is that you can copy and paste your writing, If you didn’t copy and pastE your writing you would be wasting a lot of time. If you don’t mind me adding, if you make a mistake you can easily right click on the underlined word and it might come up with the word that you could be trying to type. You can make comments on blogs which is really helpful for the person that wrote the post because it’ll give the readers satisfaction.. I think that being able to change mistakes and edit documents is great, otherwise each time I make a mistake I would have to start a new page, plus if you make a mistake you can always undo it.

The interesting parts of having a netbook are . . . . .
I’ve found really interesting about having a netbook can really increase your learning, especially with math sites like Maths Whizz, that has helped me a lot and I think that I have improved with maths. I’ve found something unusual that when I go on the room five site, you can access documents and make a copy of them, if you don’t make a copy of it, whatever you write will appear on that file instead of the copied version.

Traffic Light Jelly surprise: Nicky

Traffic Light Jelly surprise:

One delightful morning, our class ( which is room 5 ) was making some jelly. Not jelly that you’re imagining right now, TRAFFIC LIGHT JELLY! I love, love, love, love jelly.

Some time this week our teacher, Miss Paton had bought some jelly packets and brought them to school. The colours were green,  orange and red. On Thursday we got down to business. I found out that as soon as you buy jelly you need to tap it hard on a table so it will mush.

Miss Paton split her class into a half, one group to Mrs Kelly, and the other to herself. I was with

Miss Paton. We all had to take turns with stirring, mixing, pouring in water, and mushing. When it was my turn to pour in some jelly into my cup for the second time, I had to aim at the wooden spoon while Mrs Kelly stirred. I thought that would be easy and it was.

On Monday, our class will complete making our jelly, because we haven't made and poured in the red jelly yet. I can’t wait for the jelly to be settled, I bet it’ll taste delicious!

So far, our jelly is looking like this:

This is how it will look when it’s settled:

Here's my reflection on my art: Nicky

Art: Reflecting on my Abstract Painting

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

I am really pleased with my painting and yet not pleased. The reason for that

is, the green colour is not the kind I would usually use.

2. What did you find easy when you created your abstract painting?
I found tracing around the plate onto my 6 by 6 cm grid really easy.

3. What part did you find tricky when you were creating your abstract painting? -think about painting, ruling it up etc.
I found Painting the square in the centre of the circle a bit hard, other than that everything was a piece of cake.

4. Who / What helped you when you were painting?
Miss Paton helped me alot with painting my painting.

5. What would you do differently next time? Think about: colours, painting, ruling of grid, etc.
I would chose different colours.

6. What frustrated you when you created your abstract painting?
Trying to paint within the lines, and making the right colours for each shape.

That's me! I admire my picture.

Hi. Today ( 9.11.12 ) Pace and I had to present our presentation on Valentines day. My awesome teacher, Miss Paton sent her class including me a little page about if we have done all of these things such as: Referencing of information,  sources of information, Summarising of information, slide layout, knowledge of the topic, eye contact and loud clear voice.

I think that I need to work on slowing down my speech, a little more eye contact, and learning everything that I need to say.
