Thursday 26th November
This week we have been doing statistics in maths. In food, I made jacket potatoes, then vegetable risotto, and then I made fruit crumble. My favorite recipe was fruit crumble. I really enjoy doing cooking, and I like cooking in groups and by my self. I also like making the food and trying new recipes.I would say that so far in tech, I like cooking the most. I have also got better in band. I can play most of the high notes without having to try really hard. I have gotten better at playing the songs. My goals for next week: To concentrate on my maths and get it all done. Be able to play all the new Christmas songs on the clarinet. Finish my English.
 * Reflection:**

Monday 15th November
This week I have learned to backtrack in algebra. We started food for our next cycle of tech, we had to make smoothies and we also had to decide what we would bake/cook next lesson. I am going to make jacket potatoes. I got 4th in the 1500metres and 11th in the 1000metres run. I think that I did a really good job in the 1500metres and I tried my hardest, but in the 1000metres I thought there was another lap and I was going to push myself on the lap, but we finished and I came 11th. I know that I could have done better in the 1000metres and next time I am going to push myself all the way. For the test coming up today, I am going to try my hardest, and try to do my best. My goal for the rest of the term, is to give everything a try and have a good attitude towards it.

Friday 30th October
This term I have been concentrating on getting all my tasks done and concentrating more on English and Maths. I have finished my paper mache' mask and I have decorated it with glitter and feathers. I think that I did a really good job. Today at lunch time we played inter-class touch and we won. We work well as a team. (Sometimes) For maths today I learned about number patterns. In band I learned 3 or 4 new songs and new high notes. I think that I am doing really well playing my clarinet, I am defiantly going to play it next year and try to play my best. I am going to rainbows end on Monday, my goal for that is to give everything a good go. When we play at Te Awamutu Primary schools, I am going to play my best and try my hardest. I will also do this when we play at other schools. Have a good attitude towards athletics and try my hardest in all sports. To nearly finish all my English. Get as much maths done as possible. To improve playing my clarinet even more. Have a good attitude towards everything.
 * Term 4 Reflections**
 * My Goals for next week:**

Thursday 23rd October
This week on Wednesday I had my clarinet exam. I did really well, better than I thought I would get. It was out of 50 and my tutor marked me on lots of stuff. At the end she told me I got 48-50, I had the highest score in my group! I feel as if I did a really good job. On grandparents day I played in the school band for them and we played eye of the tiger and another one, but I feel as if I have improved a lot this year on my clarinet. I am up to date with all of my work and I have almost finished my English. I have 1 more task to do on that.
 * Weekly reflection**

Thursday 15th October.
This week is the first week back at school, after the holidays. I feel like I have achieved my goal of getting a higher result in a test, which was the Y7 reading comprehension. At the beginning of the year I got a stannine 5 and I have up 3 levels, to stannine 8. I have also improved on my clarinet. I can read and play all of my high notes that I need to play at the moment. Another term 4 goal that I have achieved is getting into a inter class sport. We played our first game yesterday against room2 and we won, 3 to 5, with the added bonus points. So far I have enjoyed this term and I am looking forward to athletics and my clarinet exams next week. My clarinet exams are next week and I already feel nervous, but for no reason because I can play all my scales and play the songs that I need to play. The only thing I am really nervous about is signing the notes. We have to say a note then sing it in the same tune. Other than that I think that I will do really well. For athletics, my goal is to try my hardest in everything and never give up, get in the top ten or top fifteen in Yr7 high jump. I would like to get in the first 20 at most things, like sprints and long jump.
 * Weekly Reflection**

Term 4 Goals.
I will do this by, as I said, trying my hardest in all subjects and never giving up. I think that I have improved on my clarinet and will do well in my exams.
 * Start practicing and going over all the Maths and English that I don't know or get.
 * Try to get into the inter class team, for what ever sport it is.
 * Stay focus during all my learning tasks.
 * Having a positive attitude toward everything.
 * My overall goal is to try my hardest in everything, including Maths, English, and sports. And not to give up.
 * Another goal, is to learn all the music we are going to play when we travel to the schools like Pekerau and Kihikihi. I will do this by practicing all my pieces.

Thursday 24th September.
This term I felt like I have learned a lot. Including the brain, maths, English and loads of other things, like learning to play new, higher notes on my clarinet. During the times when we were doing a group inquiry, I learned that depending on the way you cook your food, it may turn out more unhealthy for you than you intended on. I also learned that Omega 3 is good for your brain, and that fish has heaps of Omega 3.

Friday 18th September
This week our inquiry group presented our brain study. I think that we could of done a lot better to answer our essential question. But our presentation went well and it turned out not that bad apart from not answering the question. This week I learned how to properly paper mache a mask. I didn't really know how to do it before. But I think that so far my mask has been really good. And I know how I am going to set it out. I have also learned how to set out and write a piece of poetic writing. I never used to set it out with stanzas or anything. I learned that when finding a missing angle in a pentagon you have to work out the amount of degrees, which s 540. Then say that the angles are 140+140+110+__= 540. Then you add those angles up and it equals 490, take 490 away from 540 and that is the answer. 140+140+110+50= 540.
 * My Reflection**
 * What I have done this week:**
 * What I have learned this week:**

I think that I need to focus on my maths the most, even though I have finished most of my maths, I think that I still could of done more and put a lot more effort into it. Sometimes I think that I do the things I am support to do, but then I feel like I could of learned a lot more from it than I did. I can achieve this by doing my maths with more care, reading what it says and asking if I need help.
 * What I need to focus on:**

Friday 11th September
What I have done this week:**
 * My Reflection
 * This week my group and I finished all of our brain inquiry.
 * I have started my poetic writing.
 * I also worked with a partner to make a draft poetic writing.
 * In the mornings when I got to school I fixed all the stuff on my wiki, like embed my wall wisher, quality writing, and my glogster book review.


 * What I learnt:**
 * I learned how to do Sgraffito art in tech. I am really enjoying this. I am drawing a dragon-fly for it. I learned that with Sgraffito art something must go off the page.
 * How to draw a triangle with a protractor and compass.
 * How to embed something onto my wiki page.
 * How to make a wall wisher page and embed it onto my wiki properly.


 * What I need to focus on:**

I think that I need to focus more on activities that we are doing as a class activity, and join in more. I sometimes find it hard to do this because I don't really like doing group things on the mat, so I tend not to join in. I want to try my hardest in everything and do my best. I think that if I do this I will also get better in all of my work, because I will try harder. And my last thing to focus on which I do okay at the moment is finish all my work to be up to date.

Friday 4th September

 * My reflection**
 * What I have done this week:**
 * I finished all my symmetry work, and wrote my reflections on what I learnt in symmetry.
 * I finished all my English work, including my two sided argument and given English work.
 * For Belmont, I played netball and we won, but I had lots of fun, and that's what mattered the most.
 * I worked on my inquiry work with my group, working hard and tried to get it done.
 * I added my french video of me talking onto my wiki.


 * What I learnt:**
 * Maths**
 * This week I learnt that a 5 equaled pentagon is called a regular shape, because it has equal sides, but if it had 5 sides that were not equal it would not be a pentagon, it would just be a 5 sided shape.
 * A equal sided triangle is called a equilateral triangle
 * Not all shapes have line symmetry or refection.
 * An obtuse triangle has all angles over 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.
 * An acute triangle has all its angles less than 90 degrees.
 * A circle has infinite reflection.
 * A ray line stops at one end ans carries on at the other.
 * A segment line stops at both ends.
 * Not all shapes can be rotated more than once to get it back to the original shape.
 * 1) A oval can only turn once, to get back to its original shape.
 * If you add line symmetry and rotation, you get the total symmetry of the shape.


 * What I need to focus on:**
 * I think that I need to concentrate more on my task and not to get sidetracked or off task, sometimes in inquiry I sometimes get bored, so I need to keep working on that, if I do get off task I will find something to do with inquiry that won't make me bored and just carry on.
 * Listening in group discussions and contributing more. I need to contribute more in group discussions and try to listen more at the teachers instructions, so I will understand and hopefully understand it enough to get it right.

Well done Jazz, you are beginning to think more deeply about your learning. Is Maths the only area in which you learnt something last week? Remember you need to consider all the learning you did last week.

Term 3 Goals 2009
My first goal is to start contributing in class discussions and give all my effort in maths and subjects that I am not good at. I also want to try my absolute hardest in everything. I think that if I do this I will get better results. I am going to try my hardest the rest of the term, and I would like to get at least 4 or 5 badges this year.
