Reflection



Now its come to the time where we have hardly any time left to do anything. The term is nearly over and we have loads of things to get through. I am firstly going to be making a reflection on things we have done this year and if anything has gone successfully. I will start off with Technology.

Technology Technology this year was really successfull, as I am now a year 8 my skills have improved and I now know way more things than I used to know. I have learned to be carefull with my woodwork as in cutting and nailing I have learned to be very carefull and watch my hands when Im sewing.

Ecological Buildings Ecological Building’s was really hard to be honest but I did learn loads. I liked how we could present it in different ways and even design it on floorplanner. I went with Sam which was cool because she was a great help. We both learned that eco friendly things are cheap to buy and cost lots to put in. I really enjoyed this topic.

Add/Sub Add and Sub was really cool! It was easy at first when we had just started but then it started to get hard, which was good because it made me learn more. I learned loads of different strategies and big numbers. My favorite part was when we found all of these different strategies that could help us with big numbers like breaking them down.

Cross Country Well well well, this is the part of the year where my heart starts to pump. I came 4th and I thought I did really well. We went up and down lots of hills, And even went through mud. My favorite part was when it came to the finish I ran down a HUGE hill. It was fun!

Descriptive writing My descriptive writing was really good, well I thought it was. We had lots of things we had to write about but the one I mostly liked was about the owl. I liked that one the best because it had a lot of effort in it and a lot of descriptive writing.

Te Reo Te Reo was really great! I learned heaps of new things, including Numbers and the days and months of the year. I hope I can learn more and more at collage so I can get better and better.

Fitness Woah! This is the exciting part! I really love fitness and I really think my fitness is improving. I also think that my beep test results have been getting better and better. The one thing I need to improve on is my jogging. I really think that when it comes to jogging I end up running or sprinting. But I seriously love fitness so much even my hockey coach say’s he thinks I really enjoy fitness.

Performing Arts I dont really like drama or dance but this year I think Mrs Fryer was the person that helped me to love it. I liked how we had to ‘Take a hike’ that was proably the fun part. I dont really think I could of got up there and said my part without Mrs Fryer!

Speeches. I cant speak in front of people as I really dont like them staring at me:( I did my speech on ADHD, I found it really challenging at first but when It was finished I thought “thank god thats done”. It was weird but I learned loads.

Science Fair The science fair was really hard. I couldn't chose a topic as there was loads to chose from. I ended up with “how does bread mold” and found it really difficult to work on. I couldn't change my topic as I ha already changed it once so I stuck with it. And as I thought it turned out well! :) BUT! When they judged them I got 24 points which I thought was quite unfair as I put a lot of hard work into this.

=Goals= Reading- My goal is to read a wider variety of texts. I will do this by reading ore often and reading bigger books. Writing- my goal is to Improve my spelling. I will do this by discovering longer words and practice more often. Mathematics- My goal is to Use a variety of strategies. I will this by thinking better and concertrating.
