11 scholarly habbits

Ok, you wanna learn about the scholarly habits? Well I'm going to tell you all of them.
1.  Ponder Ideas, look further than just something simple.
2. Intellectual Risk taking, do something thats out of your comfort zone.
3. Preparation, be organized for anything and have a plan B.
4. Excellence, take pride in what you do.
5. Academic Humility, if you win something or do something awesome, don't be humble.
6. Curiosity, your not that interested in something but at least try to be curious.
7. Save ides, so you have all these amazing ideas and then you lose them all because you get distracted, instead you can write them down anywhere and you'll get more done.
8. Multiple Perspectives, why look at something in one way, when you can look at it in lots of different ideas?
9. Perseverance, if you are in a hole and you can't get out, don't just give up, keep climbing and you will get to the top.
10. Varied Resources,  is when you use different things tohelp you learn.
11. Goal setting, list things you want to achieve and tick them of when you think you have completed them.

Well that is what the 11 scholarly habits are.

The Personal Key

Hi blog readers
Welcome back to the amazing world of blogs. Today I went to the 'Personal Key' with Nicola. First we  filled out a sheet. It had lots of starter sentences like I love..., I never.... and lots more. We had to switch the answers to I love and I am worried about around. I had... I am worried about flying on planes and I love my friends, teddies and family. But when I had to mix them, I ended up with I love flying on planes and I am worried about my friends, teddies and family.

Bye for now!        

 

She's Back!

Guess who's back? Wait for it.... Nicola. YAY!
We are finally learning Christmas songs. Everyone gets a solo. My solo is in Deck the halls which is my favourite song out of all of them. I'm not too sure about what I'm supposed to be singing but I'm not freaking. I like all the songs and love the small dances. We will be performing in three weeks!
I don't feel too nervous which is good. I am confident!


Bye everyone.

Rainbows everywhere

Hello, today I did art with Katie, or should I say Jenni! We did tape art.

 I f you look at my art what do you think?

You're thinking, how did I get such straight lines around my artwork, right? Well I can answer that.

I used masking tape to create a pattern.

I think it looks really colourful and this is how you make it. Get 1 A3 piece of card and make a pattern of some sort with it. Next colour it in with house paint (wear old clothes or an art shirt for this because house paint can stain).

Do 2 layers of paint for this and when you've done that, peal of the masking tape (masking tape does not rip).

If you like this, give it a go. It's really fun!

Boys, Boys, Boys - do they ever stop talking???

I walked in this morning and looked at the timetable for the day. First on the list was roll and admin and after that it read TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE.

We did the roll and then it was time to start the techy challenge.

"Right, it is time for us to do the techy challenge. You are going to get into groups of 3 & 4 and make a chair. You will have 5 mins to plan what your chair it going to look like and feel how heavy my friend the little frog is. I was in a group with Neave, Jackson and Daniel. Our plan worked out okay, to be honest     with you, we would've come second or something if the BOYS actually helped! 

Today I learnt to never be in a group with Jackson or Daniel because they do nothing apart from talk!

"Hurry up girls, we don't have all day! Tonight's our first rehearsal and we've got to be perfecto, ok"? 
Today in performance we practiced our moves for Don't Stop Me Now and Let Me Entertain You.
Today is the rehearsal and we're even gonna have the soloist, Eli come in to do the solo part for Don't Stop Me Now! 
Well we were actually meant to have Maria come in to show us the whole dance but she didn't but I reckon we coped all right!

Well, off to lunch to practice me moves! 
Yours sincerely........... wait for it....... Pearl

Please DON'T stop me now!! Pretty please.

Today for Talent Development we sort of had a competition with our singing and dancing for Don't Stop Me Now. We had to have sharp moves because Nicola said! Plus, our first performance in front of others is coming up so we needed to make sure we had the right moves. The music started. For the first round, five girls went up and did the moves and we sang. I picked Reina because she was the strongest singer AND she had a good attitude with her dance.
