Term 2 Reflection

This term has been such a bumpy ride with many up’s and many down’s. But at the end we made it a as a class, as a family. This terms highlights were, Netball Kiwi sports, Inquiry Projects and Tests. Yup, believe it or not our tests. Our recent tests helped me focus on how to control my thinking. Overall my favourite memory from this term is kiwi can.

In Kiwi can we talk about what are the necessary things in life are and what we should and not do at school, anywhere. This term has been such an improvement from last term, our points, our answers and our attitude. Everybody in our class shows gratitude towards our Kiwi can peers. We didn’t win class of the term but we were grateful that we came runner up. At our last lesson with Kiwi can, Taki and I received 2 prizes and a certificate for always participating in group activities. I had received a magic kit, Wales flag and a certificate.

My favourite moment in Kiwi can was playing a charades game. It was fun, funny and embarrassing too!. But it was the effort our teams put in to make the game fun. Yes, it is confirmed Kiwi can is my highlight of the term. Now i’m looking forward for a whole new adventure next term.

2015 Reflections

This year I did my learning with Mrs Parker in a netbook classroom using Google Drive.

Having a net book made it easier to edit, share and publish my work. Working on my netbook was a great way to share my work easily, also editing my work was easier too. Instead of using a book and rubbing my work out, I can just delete my mistakes using the delete button.

This year I learned how to use a blogging rubric to check my work. The blogging rubric was a big impact in my learning giving me ideas of how to make my work better and how to check if it is level 4 writing.

I did research on WW1 and WW2. Learning about the different weapons they used during their battles. Also finding out info on tanks, machine guns and powerful gases.

The thing I enjoyed learning about most this year was blogging my work because I got to share everything that I had done at school and at home to the world. People around the world had visited my blog encouraging me to work even harder on my blog posts.

I still want to learn more about Disease and medicine because I want to learn how to cure cancer or know what kind of medicine you need to get rid of sickness. One day I would like to take this information to help other people in need of help.

The class trip/activity I enjoyed the most this year was the Stardome Observatory because I was very eager to learn about all the planets especially Jupiter. Learning about planets was what I was looking forward to throughout the whole year because someday I might even consider becoming an astronomer studying new information on each planets.

I am proud of the way I got along with my classmates. At first I did not know most of the students in my class but as the terms past I got to know them better and bonded with them.

Next year I am going to focus on getting to a higher level in maths by learning about percentages and trying to complete my goals for next year.

For maths today my maths group was working with Mrs.Parker. We were learning about equivalent fractions and how to identify patterns with fractions.
