End of Year Reflection

End Of Year Reflection

This year in reading I have learned how to make sure I have read the instructions or questions properly. I would still like to learn how to skim and scam to only get important information when I am researching. I think that when we teacher read I have learned to understand meanings of words, my favourite book that we have read is Wonder, I like this book because it hooks the reader.

This year in maths I have learned that in algebra I do quite well when I don’t know I’m doing it. The thing I want to learn how to do is number strategies and geometry. Next year I hope to complete what I want to learn. Also I think I need to practice reading the question correctly so I don’t understand the question wrong for tests. I have enjoyed working together to solve problems, also helping each other on what they’re stuck on.

This year in writing want to learn how to come up with ideas especially when we are doing descriptive writing, I have learned how to use various types of punctuation and how to do a persuasive piece of writing. The thing I enjoy about writing is Pobble, it is where there is a calendar and you pick a date and it will come up with a story starter and a picture. My favourite genre of writing is fantasy.

My highlight of 2017 was tech. I learned how to work together nicely, how to work with people I don’t usually work with and enjoy learning new things. The things that I enjoyed about tech are making really cool stuff. This term I am doing movie making with Mrs Hancock. In movie making we will be making a movie about our school. My favourite thing for tech was wearable arts term three.

In Enviro I have learned to work with some people I don’t usually work with, also to discuss ideas to plan for enviro. In our class Mrs Hancock split us into small groups, I was with Aylah, Arlo and Leith. Our group decided that we should build birdhouses and feeders. I enjoyed working as a team and coming up with ideas.

My goals in class are to learn to make use of previous knowledge, how to come up with ideas for descriptive writing. I want to learn how to get good ideas because when I do writing tests I feel under pressure and can’t come up with good ideas. In maths next year I will try to make use of previous knowledge.

This year I have achieved most of my goals I set at the start of this year like I have learned how to do algebra and difficult division and times tables. I have also achieved to be a helpful techie person. Also I participated in the Science Fair  for the first time, and I am building up my perseverance. At calf and lamb day I achieved a few ribbons with my calf.  Hopefully next year I will complete most of my goals too.

Being a learning means to take roles and to seek responsibility. I do that by helping the teachers and others, and making sure that I do the P.E shed on the right days, etc. Participating and contributing, to be able to do that you have to contribute with everything around you. I have awareness of how words and actions affect others.
