Term 3 Reflection

What have you enjoyed the most this term?

• Doing blog posts because there were some cool things we had to write about like the Olympics one.
• Singing because their have been some cool songs that I did not know before.
• Book club because you get to read books that you have not read before.
• Doing cross country because I made it to Hauraki Plains and I made it to Thames Valley cross country.
• I liked doing the block run because you got timed to see how fast you could run.

What has been challenging this term?

• Book club because we have to come up with lots of questions.
• Blog post because there were also some really hard blogs we had to do.
• Doing some follow up for maths  because there were some really hard questions.

What are you looking forward to next term?

Finishing off Impact and doing the filming because it is going to be really fun. I like doing athletics because sprints is what I am really good at and I want to be a sprinter when I am older.

Impact - Mid way reflection

.

This term we have been doing impact I am in the documentary group and we are going to make a video with information about when you start school. We are at doing the script so far and are soon going to be on filming. For the survey we sent it out to all the new students and they had to tell us if they were like nervous, scared or any other things. We have accomplished a survey,  some questions and half of a script . Our next steps are finishing the script and having it edited and  filming the video. I am enjoying writing the script and I am looking forward to filming. There is so far nothing that I am not enjoying.

Cross country

Cross country

In cross country this year I came 5th nearly 4th but Jake bet me which was quite annoying because I was about 20 cm behind him. But it does not bother me because I always have next year to practise and beat him and try to come first. How I felt after was really good because all the nervousness had been let out and I had tried my hardest.  I also felt quite good because I made it to HPC and I put every ounce of strength to come my place. I think my training really helped because I was more used to long distance and pacing myself and not just sprinting. For me going to HP is quite a big thing because I have never went to a HP cross country before. I am a bit nervous but also quite confident about going.

My speech

This year my speech is about Usain bolt

This year I choose my topic on Usain bolt.Because it is the olympics and he is a Olympic star. And because he has not always been the best but he had to train extra extra hard to be in the top leagues and make it into the olympics.

This time when I did my speech topic it has quite hard to research since there were lots of facts and there were heaps of the same facts so they were not all different so you had to go back and forth from the doc and the website. And there were really good facts and okay facts so you had to pick which were the best facts to put on the doc was.

Did I change my topic

Yes I did change my topic a little bit because I was doing the olympics and Usain bolt but there was to many facts to do both so I really had to change.

Am I nervous about presenting it.

No not really because I am practising at home and getting all the pronunciations correct.

The hardest bit.

The hardest bit of my speech I would say would be the research.

My goal reflections

Maths

To get to purple MDR and red AWS.

How am I going to achieve this goal.

I think to achieve this goal I will have to work hard and do extra work at home not only at school at school and also booking into more conferences to make sure i get all of my things correct.

Literacy

My english goals are to get all my punctuation and grammar correct and to use more similes and metaphors to make my writing more creative and interesting.

How am I going to achieve this goal.

To achieve this goal I will have to do more free writing and make it really good and make it always has capital letters and metaphors to make

Reading

My reading goal would be to be at 11 and 12 year old standard.

I think to achieve this goal I will have to read a wider range of books and read both nonfiction and fiction books. Also I think I will have to make sure I know what i'm understanding what I am  reading and just not reading words.   

Favorite  part

My favorite part of this year has been Idrive I would say i drive because you got to diffrent things like cooking, board games etc I also liked it because you got to see what other people like and about what you have in common with them.

What I am looking forward to this term.

This term I am looking forward to doing the picnic and seeing who gets to wild card and who doesn’t. The thing that I probably am most looking forward to doing is Impact because we are going to make a documentary/ video and it is going to be really fun.
