Term 4 Goals 2017

One of my goals for term 4 is to try not to get a reflection. I also hope to get my bronze badge this term. For tech arts my goal is to cook food to a high standard, and for science my goal is to win the bottle rocket challenge. I hope to learn a lot more in maths so I am ready for next year. I don't want to be easily distracted by the people next to me because then I become off task and don't get my work handed in on time.

Term 3 Week 7 Reflections

Last week we had inter house jump jam and Waikato got third and got the bonus point. The week before that we did inter house cross country and Waikato won the whole thing and the bonus point. In tech arts we were learning about fire, so we lit teabags on fire and tested if they rose or not, and now we are learning about forces and gravity. We were also tasting stuff and deciding on what element it was. For maths we are learning about angles in shapes.

Term 3 Week 4 Reflection

In tech arts I completed my pillowcase to a very high standard and now we have all started making a bag out of fabric with designs and colours of our choice. For maths we did a test on area, perimeter and volume and then we did a test on geometry. For reading we learnt more about characterization and conflict.

Term 3 Week 3 Reflections

In tech arts I nearly finished my pillow case and it looks quite cool. For maths we have learnt about pi and about the area of circles. For reading we have learnt about indirect and direct characterization. For writing we are still writing a book analysis on a short story. We did the first aid course on Wednesday and had to do CPR and mouth to mouth on a mannequin which was pretty disgusting. For robotics I have only got one or two challenges to go before I can go and build a robot.

Term 3 Week 2 Reflection

Last week in tech arts I made a pencil case in only one lesson and we have also started designing a pillow. For maths we learnt more about perimeter and area. For writing we are doing a persuasive speech and we are writing a book analysis on a short story. We have also been writing out our student led conference sheets that are happening this week. We have had the chance to sell boxes of chocolate for fundraising for new heat pumps. We have been going out for P.E everyday because we are practicing for cross country. For French we have been learning about the colours and different rules in France.

Term 3 Week 1 Reflection

For maths we had to do a test on area, I did reasonably well considering we hadn't got taught any of it, but then after a couple of practices I did it again and doubled my score. For tech arts we started fabric so far I have enjoyed it because I have been able to hand sew to soft tennis balls, and I have also learnt how to use an over locker. For maths I learnt about different types of shapes and rules for the angles of shapes.

Term 2 Week 9 Reflections

Last week I learnt how to convert fractions to percentages and decimals and vice versa. I learnt more about the holocaust when I was doing my visual presentation. I played dodge ball and learnt the proper rules. I completed my argument writing on bike helmets and I finished my book review. In Friday sport I learnt how to play corner ball and caretu ball tag.
