Resilience is key! Day 6 reflections

What I have been doing today I have made a fact about the Sedge wobler and I have done 7 drafts and got it spot on and I have done a bird drawing and have doing my writing on my map nearerly .

I’ve learnt that even though I work hard people around me might be let downs and so patience is a vetue.

today we did some questions and we practised writing in a different font.we will be writing it tomorrow

A positive thing about today is that we got a lot done with the map and our 3 sentences for our finally product.
A bit of a negative at the start of day we went with our friends and didn’t really concentrate on the work then we had to waste more time sorting it that we could have been using for work.

Review 2nd Week:
Today we stayed in the class and worked on our map, bird or research. Our group have now been allocated 3 spots on the map to write our facts in. At the start we didn’t concentrate enough so therefore we wasted time. We put this write and knuckled down to got our work complete.

good thing about today is i got alot of work complete and created a bird made out of materials.

a bad thing is i was not always on task.

Today has mainly been working on our final project. It has been quite monotanous at times as we have hadto really work hard with few breaks. We have had to be really Resilient and stick with the project. I need to be more Resilient tomorrow as I found the font we are using very hard to do so I just asked someone else to do it.
the posative thiings i did today i have been drawing my out line of my bird and putting diffrent typs of fabrics.
the bad things was when i was messing round and throwing things at people on my table.
today the day has been quiet good but olrite becuase some times i was getting abit distracted with people and then i was working hard but i was more on task than anything. I also have learned more about a chiffchaff and their habbitats and hunting skills also ive done my map sheet that i was suppose to and ive done it in the right font.
Today has been god because at first we were critiquing our work and then we went in a circle and had a adult conversation about how we could improve our work area and after that i think we did improve and took all the advice in what everyone said, yes i do admitt we could do better but we have improved we have done alot of work and try to our best.

Today we just finised what we were doing on friday like the research and drwaing and the map.

Aidens reflections

i have learned what migration means and my target for next week is to be more quiet and responsible and birds are imported because they are a part of nature.

Jmies Reflection

I have learned that I can be more confident in lessons and produce quality work. My target for next week is colour my bird and speak in front of the class more confidently.

Isobels reflections.

What have I learned?

I have learnt all about certain birds and also how to bird watch.

My targets for next week:
To contribute to group conversations,
To listen more carefully for the birds

Why are birds important?

Birds are important because they give us eggs and also food, like chicken, and also it would be boring without them.

I think we are beginning to sound like twitchers!

We wanted to do the common tern (Sterna Hirundo) because we saw one on the trip and we thought it was cool.


We chose the Swallow because its colourful and the way they fly is interesting because they swerve side to side and we saw a lot of them around Cramlington.

We chose the White Throat (Sylvia Communis). When we saw it at Arcot Hall we thought it was a very interesting and beautiful bird. We also thought it would be nice to draw and learn more about.

we picked the willow warbler because it was a cool name and it was a good name and its song is quite good.

i chose the Phylloscopus collybita (chiffchaff) becuase i think its an itellegant bird. I also like how the tune of the bird songs is, it sounds like there saying 'chiffchaff' in their own tune. I also like this bird becuase its very beautiful and it has amazing colours such as...brown, cream/buff, green, yellow, dark grey and light grey.
we chose the sedge warbler (Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) because all our other choices were taken and it looks very cute and it has a cool noise, as well as being very detailed.

I chose the swift because i like the way it flys and it is very fast


Interesting to note how much we dominates over I. Is this the start of a community?

I wonder if this kind of thinking will change?


We went to arcet fields bird watching the first bit was was fun but it was the same thing for 2 hours staraight we found a few birds that was pretty good.

To make us listen better we should go to better places for birds and not to much walking.

And another...

We would make a better listerner for longer if we didnt look at the sam bird for so long and not walk so far and stand still because it makes us winge  [whinge]and gets us boring, also if we had a fasinating thing to keep us interested, if we made bird watching more fun and went on different trips unlike going on different trips but to similar places.
