MY SELF AGENT GOAL THIS WEEK… (MONDAY) My self agent goal is to not call out on the mat and not yell through out the classroom.

HOW DID YOU GO WITH OUR WEEKLY CHARACTER GOAL:  (How did I show this goal? (Give some examples)  How could I be better at this goal?) Pretty good because I did show tolerance and I keeped my thoughts to my head

THIS WEEK MY BEST LEARNING SUCCESS WAS… (something that was hard and you achieved or something you think you put a lot of effort into - try to avoid handwriting and word lab) my maths and percentages because it gave me a challenge and I used a growth mindset and it was easy

THE BITS I DON’T GET YET ARE… (some things that were challenging) The fan boys in writing because I didn't know when to put the comma in.

WHAT CAN I DO OR DID DO TO BE SUCCESSFUL WITH MY CHALLENGES?always use a growth mindset so I can do it and it will be easy

BEACH EDUCATION DAY

What are some key things you learn ed at beach education….

I learn ed that you always have to swim between the flags because their might be rips or currents outside of the flag, the 8 rules of being sun smart which were slip, slop, slap, wrap, smudge, seek, slurp and step. Sun smart is making sure your not getting burnt and being safe at the beach.

What was the best part of the day? Why?

I reckon boogie boarding was the best part of the day because I learnt how to catch waves and I got to get wet and go out real far in the sea

WONDER

What was your favourite part of the movie?

My favourite part of the movie was when Jack Will strucked Julian in the face because Julian was making fun of Auggie.

What is the main message from the movie?

Dont judge a book by its cover.

Write a summary of the movie?

This movie was about a 12 year old boy who had a face problem when he was born and he had to go under 27 surgereys some of the surgerys made him live some of them made him healthier and some others made him look better.At the age of 12 Auggie had been home schooled his home life but the parents thought it was time to take auggie to the next level and take him to school.So in auggies first year of school alot went on at the start he met some new friends called jack summer and charlotte. auggie started to get bullied by this kid called jullian but then jack auggies friend stuck up for auggie then punched julian in the face but got stood down for 2 days. At the end of the year auggie and his class and school got to go on a massive really cool end of year trip and then at the end of school year graduation auggie won something big.

Name one difference between the book and the movie.

in the book auggie had hearing aids but in the movie he didnt.

Write a movie review. (include your opinion of the movie and whether you’d recommend it to others)

I highly recommend this because the movie and book really tells you a story and its funny but some parts are a bit touching and if you cry easily you might not make it through.
