Morning's blog – A CDNIS Student iFolio

First Week of School

` First week of school

I am Morning and I’m a new student in CDNIS. This is my first week of school blog.☺

On the first week of school I was a little worried, worried about not knowing where to go, no friends and not knowing anything. But I felt a little excitement because it was a new school, and I would probably be getting used to the schedules. But the thing I was most worried about was fitting in.

We started off with talking about classroom arrangements, Mr.Roberts let us arrange the classroom since he overturned tables over tables and the chairs were stacked everywhere. We arranged it together quickly because we had to sit. But we arranged it properly on the fourth day.Veronica and I got to do the class poster and put the class name ( Eggheads) on it and draw a lot of egg heads. After 2 days I was getting used to the schedules. Our U.O.I was How we express ourselves. Our math unit is Geometry. In P.E, we had to figure out how to move from one side to the other with only 2 spots and 1 small blue mat. The only way to move was two people get on the spots in front of the mat, then the people on the mat had to jump at the same time in order for the people on the spots to pull the mat forward. It was fun, but a little hard for my group to figure out. But we did it, art turned out to be messy because we were using our feet to paint and everyone was slipping and sliding. I also got my macbook pro too.

After the first week of school, I felt a little more relaxed because I was a little more familiar with what was going on and what to do. Everyone I knew was friendly, Mr.Roberts was pretty cool too, and I like this school too.

The Young Americans!

The Young Americans

The New Years here and so are the Young Americans! Yay- not really. I don’t really like the Young Americans, I have heard about them but I don’t really like them from what I’ve heard : Dancing, Singing, and anything that has to do with music. All of the above is what I dislike. These three things are things that make me feel that ‘AHA NOPE NOT TODAY!’ feeling.

I know I should have a much more positive mindset, but I actually don’t want to do whatever they are going to do. Sing and dance on stage, just the thought of that makes me want to run away.

Yesterday was the first day of the YA and I don’t really think much of it. They teached us the dances but in the end a lot of people still didn’t know what the dance was, or only remembered some parts. Like I said before, I don’t like singing and dancing. This isn’t making me step out of my comfort zone, I would sing and dance if I had to but I always felt really weird and cringe throughout the whole entire day yesterday. My thinking hasn’t changed much, I don’t really like the YA if I had to be honest. It has kinda has been what I expected, but only a bit better. I feel kind of frustrated that we have to do all that singing and dancing again today.

Day 2 was fine, a bit improved from day 1 even though I got a solo. My thinking has changed little, but I now feel better for the Young Americans. I think today would go fine and be much better than day 1. The show might be a tiny bit messy but it will be ok. I feel a bit nervous for today but it’ll pass. I think.

Day 3 was actually awesome! The show was great, everything was great. It was kind of nice seeing all that work being put together, like that feeling when you finish putting together a puzzle that you worked so hard on, especially if you spent 3 whole days on it. My thinking has changed greatly, I no longer dislike the Young Americans. They are fun to play around and be around with. I now miss them and hope I’ll be able to cooperate with them sometime in the future. Here are a few pictures of them:

In conclusion, I know they will be the best thing that happened to me in G6.

Almost dying from Hypothermia

This is my reflection for camp(which was absolutely awesome!)! It happened last week, from tuesday the 27th to friday the 30th. The camp was in Sai kung, but we didn’t stay there the whole entire time. Our group was moving around a lot actually, so yeah. Here are 5 things I learnt from different camp encounters/experiences:

1.Being a risk-taker

I thought I was prepared as a risk-taker. Turns out I was actually not, there were loads of things that I encountered during camp that made my life so much more harder to live. These include the jetty jump, worming through a tight, pitch black tunnel underground, stop being scared or running away from all sorts of creatures(ahem BEES) and a load more that I could list from day to night. But these experiences made me a bigger risk-taker.

Getting to be more confident

I don’t really have any self-confidence in myself unless its a competition that I know I don’t even need to try and would win. But camp teached me to be more confident in myself, there is no right or wrong in the world (unless your taking a test of course, but who care?). I found that if I be confident in myself I can do anything, even if its dangerous. I don’t know if confidence is key everything but I do know I have grown more confident of myself over the 4 days at camp.

Knowing new people

I’m not saying my list of friends is small, but I got to know more people at camp. I got to know more people in my group, so I basically became friends with all the people in my group but maybe not the boys. But anyway, I think camp is a really good way to get more new friends.

Getting over most of my fears

Credits to the bees(no I’m just joking)

I got over my fear of different kinds of insects like BEES and also mosquitos and green and red and blue and rainbow colored, different shaped bugs. But of course the same cannot be said for some other person(AHEM Dora), she still screams even when she sees a bug as small as a cocoa bean. But It helped me also get over the fear of being alone and in the dark too. It helped me get over most of my fears but if I list them I’m sure you’ll just get bored and go read something else, but the two that I told you about just now was 2 of my biggest fears.

To be more independent

Camp made me more independent, to do my own chores, to wash my own dishes, to clean up my equipment I used, to cook for myself and others and of course, being with myself and my friends and trying not to LOSE things. But it turns out I actually like washing dishes and washing things and cooking. The only thing I didn’t like was cleaning the dorms and wiping my mattress because instead of feeling clean, I felt the most unclean of my whole entire life.

That’s it for today’s blog! Thank you for reading, here are a few pictures of me and my friends in camp, hope you have a good day and BYEEEEEEE!

中文学习成果-评估反思

这是我的第二个？第三个中文反思？

今天我要讲的是我的中文学习成绩，一个评估。我特别喜欢这个词语评估，有可能会是应为我得到了一个非常高的分数，但有可能也不是。我不知道。

我特别喜欢这个词语考试因为我觉得我做这些考试做的最好。这些考试让我联系到了我的词语能力和造句能力。我经常不太爱用不同的词语，但这个考试让我考的我不用的词语，而且能拿到一些标高得分。所以我比较喜欢这个考试。

我觉得我最进的中文成绩不太好，但我想据需努力的去做。希望有一天能在别的考试上也能像在做的一样好。

中文学习反思

今年，我有些担心我的中文赶不上，作业不能及时做完。当然还有时间管理不好的一部分，我担心这些事，当然还是发生了。

学期的一开始，我就开始有些激动，也有些担心。中文课在那时候不难，而很简单。但随着这几个月的过程，中文变得更难了。我作业有做不好的，也有没做的。我觉得从学期的开始到现在我没什么有进步的。但我觉得我以后还可以在进步些。

我知道我以后会更努力地了，我希望有一天我能更好的管理好时间。

OK-LA 今天就到这。再见朋友们！

Robotically Techy Weeeeeek

Robotically Techy weeeeeeek

‘Ello! ‘Ow are ya doing today. m’kay wait ya’ll, I needta get outta of dis accent. Wait… there. Let’s start again shall we?

Hello reader who is reading my blog for a I-really-don’t-know reason, Welcome to the robotically techy week (also known as week 4 reflection) its been 4 weeks since school started, I am starting to warm up and get ready for G6 now (not really but still, da school does not care la, you just kinda have to deal with it😑). Mrs.B turns out to be a really nice teacher who does a lot of fun activities- yay for me! But seriously she is a nice teacher who does a lot of fun activities. But the question is, what made me think so hard this week? The answer to that is coding and getting my robot ready for coding and coding and coding and coding and coding and coding and coding and coding and- sorry I got a little carried away.

So anyway, this week we just got our own M-bots, which is like a small robot. You basically connect the robot to your computer and by using a app on you computer,(Called M-Block).you start coding on it, after you’ve finished coding, you input the code into the robot. After that it’s just taking off the cord and turning on the robot. The robot will move according to the codes that you put in into the robot. The coding part is just.. Argh! It is like literally the only thing that made my brain think and guess so hard that it overheated and I died. Kidding. But still, the coding part is just so very hard to me. But I like how the little robot just walks around and plays music, its really cute actually.

Anyway I loved this week, hope I have more fun the next week and next week and the next and the next and- well, pretty much the whole entire year. Anyway, hope you enjoyed and bye!!!! (you’ll need to wait till next friday for week 5’s reflection! BYE!)

A very weeksome week

Hello! And welcome back to another weekly reflection, this is the 3rd reflection and school is urm, interesting. There are somethings that I liked and some things that I don’t like. Like they started to give out homework (which I disliked but hey, its school), also in Chinese, because the teacher (xing lao shi) has been really strict so Chinese hasn’t been any fun. This is my inside face whenever I see the teacher: 😑😒. Help. But anyway there are still a lot of awesome stuff like I can finally go swimming! Also I finally got myself organised for everything! Plus I get to be more independent and without my mom bothering me every second about something! Yay! But still, I liked this week, it was awesome/weeksome week.

Anyway that would conclude this week’s reflection. Next weeks would come next week (obviously), so bye for now!

week reflection 2

Weekly Reflection 2

One thing I Liked and enjoyed and about this week is Math,Chinese and Language. Oh and also the team building games or any games that we played this week

Remember: I remember about how one of the math tasks were done in groups, I liked doing math like that, or on whiteboards. Language we did the ‘why do we reflect’ thing and I liked doing that personally and posting it on online post-it notes.Chinese I liked because the teacher had us do this fun group activity even though she is very strict.

Revise:I may of thoughts of reconsideration on the pre-exam, to have done better, but other than that, everything is fine.

Reveal: Asides from the fun activity, Chinese was like the demons palace where the demon is the teacher. But I kinda like the teacher because chinese is important to me because of first, Im from China, and second, My mother wants me to do good, great actually. So it’s important for me, but I kind of thought that the math videos were important because they told you about the thing with your brain and how to learn better in maths.

React: This learning made a difference in me because I got new knowledge and I had fun in learning.

That’s it for this weeks reflection. Bye!

First week of G6!

This is the first week of grade 6, it has been fine, but not perfect because of course, school has just began. Mrs.B has been both fun and kinda strict teacher, but only a tiny bit strict. 6A Avocados, I don‘t really like the name but I can work with it. But nothing can be said about the cheer, I do not like the cheer. We did a lot of how’s and why’s on how to make the classroom more comfortable for us and how to make the new students feel more comfortable. But still, it was a fine week. Only thing that could ruin it is ummm, nothing actually. Never mind, bye!

Passion Projects,Probability carnivore and and My writing.

Hello readers, and welcome back to another blog! Today I shall talk about 3 things : Passion Projects, the probability carnivore and also my published writing that is now in the library!

This week we had our passion projects presentations, a bunch of parents, students and teachers came in to see our projects. Mine was about Apple, how Apple was developed and who founded Apple. I had about five slides, all full of text. When the presentations started, I hoped a little less people would come but nooooooo, a bunch of people came. At the end of the presentation, my mouth was dryer than a desert! Passion projects is a really fun thing, I hope this would happen next year.

On Monday, we had our probability carnivore with our little buddies! My project was a ball throw, Gareth, my buddy, came over and won three prizes. I let him chose his prizes :Cookies, gummy bears, chocolate or chewable gum candy. After Gareth, a bunch of other little buddies came to play my games. A lot of them got the ball in three or four times. at the end of the carnivore, all my candy supplies were gone! I was happy for the buddies though, a lot of them had a whole airtight bag full of prizes and candies! It was so cool.

Today I gave in my writing about a caveman, this writing was five pages long with around 2000-3000 words. We’ve been working on these for two months. Mine was about a caveman, how he lived, how he discovered things. But I decided that I didn’t want a very happy ending so guess what? I gave him a really sudden, really horrible death, this is how he died:

‘By now I guess it was time to show everybody the secret. I took everybody to the plains. First, there was only silence, then, out of the blue, everything exploded! Cavewoman went wild, dancing furiously, cavemen pulled out clubs and yelled like tigers and attack the animales, children ran around wild, bumping into stuff. I tried to calm them down, but it was useless. Finally I managed to get them under control by yelling, “You people are such idiots!”, that got them under control because our tribe, hates being called idiots, we think that this is highly disrespectful, so don’t swear people, it would someday become a problem for you, because what happened next isn’t pretty. Right after those words left my mouth, every single pair of eyes turned in my direction. I suddenly felt like I shouldn’t of have done what I’ve just did. What happened next was not something that you would want happen to you. The people literally voted me off the tribe and threw me in the never-ending desert. After that I died of course, I couldn’t find anyone, or anything. I finally died, in pain, in hunger, in sadness.（P.S: What an happy and sudden ending, eh?)’

Yep, really sudden isn’t it? if you wanna see the whole story, go to the libary, it’s called “A caveman Story”.

Thats it for this blog, I hope you enjoyed reading this and have great day! Bye!

日记

二零一八年五月七号星期一阴

今天中文课李老师要我们有一个口语考试。我们要讲关于我们鸡蛋的事，比如我们在鸡蛋上画什么，为什么要画这个人／动物／东西在蛋上。也要说我们是怎么保护这颗蛋的，想了什么办法，我们为什么认为这个办法会有作用。我觉得我说得很好，但是上课时不小心捏了一下杯子,而且还听到了一声“咔嚓”。好像是把鸡蛋捏破了，我感到有一些害怕和紧张，天啊，现在怎么办啊？后来我就静下来了一些，没事。反正以后就小心一点了，只要从这个错误学会以后不要太马大哈就可以了。我今天本来应该做我的阅读考试的，但因为没时间了，所以没做。

我希望我以后会变得更会爱护自己的东西，不会随随便便的，什么都不管。我很喜欢这个活动，我以后有可能也会在家里桌这个活动，但是是和家人做，而不是和同学们或别的班做。
