Passion Projects (Community sports)

15/11/18

What have I learned? What am I learning?

* I have learned ways to look at solving the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and threats to improve our SWOT analysis with detailed explanations.

* I am learning to put our ideas into details and co-operate ideas with each individual in the group.

Who is in my group?

Lenora
Ofa
Adi
Annaleise
Janel


What is a SWOT analysis?

* A SWOT analysis is studying and organizing ideas into a different category by strengths in the group weaknesses, opportunities and threats. That helps keep track of what we need to improve.



SWOT Analysis

Strengths:
  • We have people who know and play the chosen sport
  • We are good at working with kids/have coached before.
  • We have experienced professional training

Weakness:
  • We may not be able to work with certain kids because of behavior.
  • Lack of involvement.
  • Lack of interest from the kids.
Opportunities:
  • We can give them sports tips.
  • We can teach them to improve/ to Vs other students to test their skills.
  • No cost available
  • This can also help us improve our own skills
  • when we are questioned about our way of teaching a certain sport.

Threats:
  • Injuries that cannot be prevented/ constant injuries.
  • Social skills(too shy to talk)
  • Fail to prevent injuries that can be prevented.

What came out of the SWOT analysis?

Problem-solving:
Weakness
We can try and make it for fun and enjoyable for young people.
We can make it challenging and competitive.


Threats:
We can put them in small groups and get to know each other first.
We can never prevent injuries but we can help with working in a safer
the environment during the time we have with them, and we can also provide them with the first-aid kit


Skill application:
Strengths:
We will look at the level of skill that the students have and use that to teach them what they
need to improve on.
The skills we learned will be put to good use when we work with the students.T


Opportunities:
We can contact the Hornby primary school for permission to work with the primary students.
We can also work with other groups that have similar ideas to work with.

Music-Performance Arts (year evaluation)

12/11/18

What has been your favorite project this year and why?
I think the most enjoyable project I have done was composing. I think I enjoyed this as we got a choice to choose what kind of music composing we wanted to do and writing a song was something I always wanted to try, which is why I enjoyed it.

What have you found challenging about music this year?
I think what I found challenging is what most people would say when they have that sense of fear in front of others. I found it hard to face an audience while performing which is something that commonly happens to me. Another challenge was preparing to give 100 percent on a practical assessment, which was the aim of every student in the class wanting to give an amazing performance.

What advice would you give to the year 10 students 2019?
I think the advice I would give to the students is don't cower from the audience because if you do then the performance will not have the feeling that it did when you practiced also when you know that a song or project is challenging that is when you know you are trying hard to improve.

Goals for 2019? (musical or non-musical)
Even though I am not doing Music next year, being able to perform and do something I have never done before was my goal and will remain my to try the best and try new things given to me so I can to get through the years I have in school with pride.

Performance Evaluation(Music)

12/11/18

What did you perform?

*I Decided to perform ¨City of stars¨ by Ryan Gosling Ft in La La Land on piano.

With who? On Your Own?

*I performed this song with Jesy as we wanted to do it together.

Why did you choose that song?

*We thought it was an easy song to play but also a good song to perform. The chords were easy/medium hard but we wanted that challenge.

Were you happy with your performance and why?

*I wasn't fully happy with the performance outcome and there are things I could change as on the day my nerves kicked in and I wasn't giving my 100%. I wasn't happy with how we put our parts together and the transaction didn't really go as planned.

If you could perform again, what would you change?

*I would sing so we can create an amazing performance but the negative thoughts stopped me from doing so, but other than that I was really happy with our song choice and how we were both committed to learning our parts.

Maths (Reflection)

24/10/18

Ratios

For the first week of the term, my class was introduced to Ratios as our new topic. We were given
various questions on Ratios to answer as a group and work together to figure out what ways we could use to get the answer.
We created a slideshow as a pair on What is a Ratio? Where do we use Ratios? and How do we use ratios in our everyday life?

What are Ratios?
A ratio compares value. A ratio explains and shows how much one thing is compared to another.

Where do we use it?
Ratios can e used throughout our daily lives, like grocery shopping, cooking, traveling, and more 

What questions do you still have about __Ratios__?
How do we make it easier for ourselves to understand Ratios quicker?

What were some of your strengths and weaknesses in this unit? What is your plan to improve in your areas of weakness?

My strengths were I could do the work quickly when I understood it properly.
Weakness is that I had to keep conversing with others too long for me to understand.

Spend less time talking about the topic but look at the examples and see what I can learn from it.
