What I have learned this week: Tech Arts this week was different to usual. Mrs Crowe was away today,so Mrs Kilgour took us for Fabric instead. The year 7 kids made a mouse or frog, and the year 8 kids were allowed to continue with their sweatshirts.

What I need to focus on for next week: I need to focus on finishing my geometry work, since next week is the last of term 3.

What I have learned this week: For maths I have learned about translations and how to make equilateral triangles using protractors and compasses. A translation is a shape moved certain spaces up, down, left or right. An example of a translation is (-9, 8), this means you move left 9 spaces, and 8 up.

For Tech Arts I am doing Art, with Mrs Crowe. We are currently doing sgrafitto,where you colour with crayons on paper, paint over it, and then scratch patterns into the paint when it's dry.

My Inquiry group has finished our infographic.This is like a presentation, only you use more pictures than words. I learnt lots about the brain during Inquiry, like that electric signals are passed through neurons.

What I need to focus on for next week: Next week I need to focus on getting my maths and English work done for the term. I'm running slightly behind. Okay, a lot in my maths.

Amber, you need to be more specific in what you are saying.How do you know how to identify angles? What have you learnt about the brain? How do you identify the different types of triangles? Why do you need to focus on your English and literacy work - what specifically do you need to focus on?

My Goals for Term 3 2009 are:
To improve my fitness, by joining more sports To try harder in my maths, with practice, practice, practice To be moved up into the senior band, with practicing harder and still enjoying music To learn new skills and talents, by creating and learning in all subjects To participate with a bit more enthusiasm in class activities, like PE.
