term+reflections

I thought that term 1 was a great term for me. I have had a lot of fun and my work has improved so much since last year and now I have way better computer skills too. I found some of the maths work hard like the statistical investigation on grocery items. I was also in the Duffy club and I really enjoyed it. When we did our inquiries I found it easy to use web 2.0 tools and looking for information on the internet. Doing the six minute run that we do some days I think has made me fitter because before I could only run for 3.12 minutes and now I can run for 6 minutes. This term was awesome and I hope next term is just as fun.

Evaluation- This term I was happy with my school work. I think that my work has improved but some of my goals I did not achieve, I achieved my reading, maths, ICT and general but I got a got a lower score on my basic facts and had the same score for my spelling gap test. For inquiry I improved a lot. For languages we learned te reo all this term and I can now say my mihi, things I like and other stuff. This term for algebra I didn't improve, I got a 4a in both my post test and pre test. I enjoyed doing report writing and got a 4p for my report on Anaheim Disneyland. This term for reading we did the boy in the striped pyjamas webquest, I found it very interesting and challenging, I learned a lot about world war 2 but I didn't find the activities very fun and it was better just researching things about the book. Overall I was really happy with my school work.

Reflection- I enjoyed this term we did a lot of fun activities and work. I found doing Our Living World and What's the Plan Stan very interesting. It was fun doing Monet style paintings and I found it fascinating learning about artists like Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gough. This term we had a lot of interesting visitors come to our school and we have also skyped some people about our topics. I learned a lot from Robin Greer, an Organic Farmer. Norm Hewitt and the SPCA also came to talk to us about the SPCA, what they do, that you should treat your pets like one of the family and how there is a direct link to animal cruelty and family violence.

I felt this term went hunky-dory. I think I improved in maths doing measurement. I think I need to focus in writing and topic. I enjoyed doing Rugby World Cup for topic and I thought the inquiries were fun. I didn't like doing the Us Now And In The Future and going to cobblestones because I found it humdrum and uninteresting. But overall it was a pretty good term but term 4 will be better because we have camp and other fun stuff.
