Reflections

What was your goal today?

Zac’s goal was to get the ball into the cup 20 times.

Thomas’s goal was to make a turtle.

Cohen’s goal was not be scared in the Virtual Reality.

Lucy’s goal was to stay at one activity and use different accents for characters.

Did you achieve your goal? Why/why not?

Kristen did meet her goal. She stayed at one station and made a mouse. She had to be patient when things got difficult. Kristen felt like giving up, but stuck to what she started because it was quieter.

Jack didn’t achieve his goal because he didn’t want to get ‘in’ while playing the ball game. He needs to practice dodging skills.

Legend didn’t achieve his goal of making up a PE game. It wasn’t fun, so he left and gave up.

Thomas H didn’t achieve his goal to make a turtle. It looked more like a pig, so he modified his goal to still complete the activity.

How will you improve your managing-self next week?

Liam would work harder on making a new game rather than playing a game that we already know.

Legend needs to think about the other people around him.

Liam B would like to do more science and learn more.

Adelle learnt not to run in high heels.

Jack wants to work on staying in one place and sticking with it.

How did you react/cope with the exciting activity?

Akaisha coped by asking if she could join in.

Bradley said it was so noisy because they were excited and having so much fun. Paige added that we could be a bit quieter. Liam suggested we need to think about our voice level (inside voices).

Tara said that people were running inside. People need to stop and think.

What was difficult?

Thomas F found that waiting for the paint to dry on the egg cartons was difficult.

Marc found it difficult to find the right clothes for his character.

Liam found it difficult to do the leaf rubbing.

Zachary found it difficult to wait for a go with the Virtual Reality (because he was last).
