My special place the beach in Kaikoura

My special place the beach in Kaikoura  

The scaly fish dart away as they see my reflection by the water.

The cold water wraps around my feet as I watch the waves grow.

The bumpy waves rise from the water as they fall to overlap each other.

My heart starts to beat as fast as lightning as the seals slowly creep closer and closer on the rocky shores. 

The waves splash onto the tall pointy rocks as they missed me by a inch. 

I twist my ankle jumping across the rocks and fall into the freezing  cold water. 

 

Discovery time reflection

Discovery Time  reflection

Today at discovery I made a love heart cushion with Romae and Rosemary in room 13 we were using the sewing machines.

The role I played was learning something new and following instructions.

A strategy I used was asking for help because I was struggling at cut some of the fabric so I had to ask for a little bit of help.

A struggle for me was sewing the love heart cushion because it didn't turn out like what I hoped it would look like and it looked more like a giant oven glove thing or a fat tail fantail.

I used a growth mindset because at one stage I found  it hard to do the sewing because the thread kept coming out which was really frustrating. I displayed a growth mindset because I realized that next time I need to go slower around the corners with the sewing machine so that the corners will look more round instead of pear shaped.

Next Discovery Time I want to show an improvement by trying to sew the heart better.

Overall  I really enjoyed discovery
