iDrive PMI

Positives                            Minus                                  Interesting

What I found positive is that we can choose what to do and who to work with. I liked doing the sand pit the most because we made big volcanoes and we put baking soda and vinegar in and then we put them together in a cup and made the volcanoes explode. Another positive is that there are not 1 2 or 3 things to pick out of. You can go to a house on iDrive Street more than once.
There are not very many minuses  but I don’t like it when people are doing it their way and not in a group and when they are ignoring you. Sometimes you finish early and you don’t know what to do. Sometimes people just take all of the stuff and don’t share. There could be more stuff to do because some people have done everything.
What I found interesting with iDrive is that we can choose what we want to do and who to work with. In iDrive we use lots of the Learning Powers. The one that I used the most is Resilience and Being Me. Each Thursday that we do iDrive you learn something new that you didn't know. We had to work together as a team to make one big thing.

Labour day

In New Zealand, Labour Day is a public holiday held on the fourth Monday in October. Labour day is an acknowledgement of the eight hour working day. Samuel Parnell refused to work more than eight hours a day because some people worked more than 8 hours each day. On Labour Day each person gets a day off school and work. Happy Labour day.

iDrive reflection

This week for iDrive I did art. For art we did our paintings from last term and I have finished painting it now but I still need to go over it with black pen. The hardest part was making sure all of the edges were tidy and the blending was quite hard too and one of the easy parts was painting the background. The learning power I used was Resilience because you could not get the right colour all of the time and sometimes you mess up. Sometimes we had to problem solve because sometimes you paint in the wrong place like over your lines. The best part I liked so far was painting because we get to make new colours that you did not know how to make. Here is a photo of my art.
