Once in swimming lessons I had to swim 800m freestyle without stopping. When I made it 800m I was persistent and I kept going until I had swam 1km!!!

Once I was with my friends and we were doing handstands and I did one (well tried to) and I stacked it, and it really hurt, but in the end we all just stared cracking up laughing. It was really funny. So I was showing ‘finding humor’ number 16. (I think)

Once I was acting in a play and I forgot what to say, so I had to find the humor in the situation and persist through it by still talking afterwards. Luckily the audience didn’t notice. Hannah C-F

This was at school last term. We were playing Jag outside on the courts. I was on the fielding team. The ball was really high so I could catch it but I all ways dropped it. So then I kept persisting, then at the end I was able to catch the ball and I got someone out.

When I was doing cross country this year I kept on loosing my breath, but I was saying in my head,”you can do it Mollei your so close!”. Because I kept on persisting I made and I also happily made it to cross country  district! 

HABIT OF MIND: APPLYING PAST KNOWLEDGE TO NEW SITUATIONS I can name many times I have applied past knowledge to new situations. In my write4fun poem this year, I used pictures from social media to help me. So I saw this picture of Syrian refugees while I was thinking of a poem to write, as well as seeing a lot of news about the refugees and reading articles in the past. In design and tech, Mr. Fleetwood showed us speeches of civil rights activists. He asked “Do any of you might know any of them?”.  Everyone was joking around and were saying things like ‘DONALD TRUMP” (uh nope), I look a lot at influential people like Nelson Madela and Malala, who were both activists. So I applied that past knowledge and said Martin Luther King Jr, and he was saying the I have a dream speech (which coincidentally was listening to today). 

Once I was with my friends and we were doing cartwheels. I didn’t know how to a cartwheel. So after school I kept persisting and practising until I could do a cartwheel.     

this year in cross country I wanted to keep my spot and my paste I kept on saying in my head ” I can do this I can stay in third place.” because I kept on persisting my self to stay in the same spot and at the same paste. I was happy that  I got into cross country.

When my little brother was small I would teach him stuff like the alphabet, it took a lot of persistence. And I’m glad I did keep persisting because now at school the teacher is he is at least a year ahead for his age.

During cricket this year I used a lot of persistence batting I kept saying to myself “hit the ball” and eventually I got better!      THE POWER OF PERSISTANCE!!!!

Once in a netball game I wasn’t feeling to well and I used “Striving for Accuracy” and tried to make it the whole game and PERSISTED. I was thinking about trying to make it the whole 4 quarters but I felt like I was going to vomit in the 3rd quarter so I “thought about my thinking” and called time to the umpire and I was in my favourite position to!! (GD, Goal Defense). I was so sad but hjappy that I stopped because after that I felt even more terrible when I got home.. 🙁 Habits of Mind I used: Striving for Accuracy Persisting  Think about your thinking (Metacognition) I would have more stories to tell (not that it is made up) but you know I am only allowed to tell one or two. 🙂 #HannahMOUT!! #Ilikehashtaggingstuff      

once at school we had a really hard maths question and i just tried and tried but i could not get it right. So i stayed in all lunch trying to work it out so in the end i was persisting and found the answer. 

Once I tripped over, but it didn’t really hurt. My friends were laughing at me, and I got a little offended. I didn’t try to find humour and “laugh a little” at this time.

TAKING RESPONSIBLE RISKS When I went to a friends birthday party at a go-kart place I was nervous because I’d never driven one before and I thought I was going to crash but in the end I had lots of fun and only crashed once.

I am an absolute professional at finding humor. Once my shorts were inside out and Chloe pointed it out. when all the girls in the group found out they all started laughing, and you know what? Do you think I cared? Nope i just started cracking up with them. I thought it was one of the funniest things of my life. I don’t get offended easily. Or when my mum kisses me in front of every one sometimes i get a bit embarrassed but I mostly don’t care. 

Alex i used persistence in maths when i couldn’t answer i question or in writing when i couldn’t think of a title or what to write but i keep going on and i found the answer or a title. i used finding humor when i accidentally feel over on the oval and i fell over a soccer ball and all my friends were there and laughing so i started laughing 

Coby: ive used finding humor in P:E when we were playing jag, and i said i won’t stop running and i will make it. then I was almost at the end. Then I stoped and said I am chuck norris then I got out by Sophie. We all laughed together they were not laughing at me they were laughing with me.  

PERCISTENCE, I used persistence in problem solving, in a task, I want to give up but I keep doing it in till I get it right, I use persistence every day of my life ore at list in every week of my life.      

responding with wonderment and owe once I  was in my bedroom and my sister charlotte came in and said “hey guess what” “what”  I said. she said “my dad got me Minnie mouse and Micky mouse from Disneyland”” that is amazing” I said and she showed me her micky and Minnie mouse fluffy toys.  

I used creative, imagining and innovating at school when I had to right a paragraph for my narrative and it took me ten min but I did it and my title was The Day My Imagination Ran Away. And I wrote a paragraph and I got 10 min of lunch.

I needed to use thinking about my thinking to get myself out of a bullying problem with someone I new. I questioned and problem posing I askrd when I was having trouble and I posed the question for the answer. I have used persistence when I was having trouble Anita boardman

when I went to cross country I felt very nervous but I used my persistence and did it I felt rely proud because I came 18th
