iDrive review

iDrive review

In iDrive this year my most enjoyable session is yoga which I did with Mrs Lindsay. It was fun because I am always so stressed when I’m at school and home. I now have breathing exercises that I can use when I am in distress.

I should probably explain what iDrive is before I carry on. iDrive is on a Friday, Whenua joins Whetu on a hour of fun learning. We must use lots of Learning Powers and I Care. Here are some of Learning Powers and I Care that stand out to me: Growth mindset, resilience, courage, work together as a team and we can’t do this yet.

For cars, blocks and animals I was put to the test, because my group found it hard to complete the city we were building. When we were trying to build a wall around the city it fell down a lot. But we didn’t give up and in the end the wall was completed and we got to play the game that we had planned.

If I could change any session of iDrive this year I would change so I could be here for every iDrive this year because I have missed out on 3 sessions and I only just missed sandpit last week so I need to wait a term till I can do what I missed.

And last of all, if I could make or add  a new workshop  I would add in Literacy planet/Matific one.

My favourite quote.

My favourite quote.
I made this quote up because no other quote had that ‘wow’ I needed. This quote I enjoy is one I think of alot in my learning. When I am at a tough question I leave it out till the end.

It is a very true quote that I think most people use but do not say it. It is an awesome inspiration for my mindset for I can leave a question out then be able to go back. I encourage this quote to be able to go through the minds of others. I have found it brings the remainder of don’t rush, take your time and play the right cards. The author of this quote is me, Makayla.

If I won the lotto!

If I won the lotto!

I would buy the following items with my lucky 1,000,000 dollars. I have always wanted to go to Hawaii because my mum has traveled the world but she never went to Hawaii. And I believe it is never to old to travel. I want to stay at a cool hotel that has many activities so Jesse and I can have lots of fun while mum and dad can relax. The hotel I chose has many activities and has relaxing areas such as a spa pool and a massage place.

I want to buy a cat bed for my cats because they always find other boxes and containers to sleep in. They keep wrecking all of the boxes. So I really want a Real Bed for them. I would like another home not far my house. Because I absolutely hate it when Dowah goes out into the dark night to her room. I found this section outside my own house on the new road in Ngatea. If I could really buy the house I would, because on both houses I could make a gate so Dowah can come to my house and all my family could go to hers. (Also Jesse and I could have sleepovers).

The last thing that I would buy is some jewellery for mum and Dowah. Because even though they have heaps I think they still might like more. I choose a watch from Trade me for mum because she doesn't have any and since she with St John she needs to know the time when she’s taking someone's pulse. And I choose a greenstone necklace for Dowah because I know she likes different stones and she likes wearing necklaces so I thought it may be the perfect present for her. (It is Dowah and mum’s birthday coming up!)

I know I still have heaps of budget left but I am wishing to put it in the bank so I can use it when I need it or in other words Wisely.
