Nicky's+Goals

​ =toc 16/11/08= What I have learned in the past 5 weeks:
 * In maths I have learned what an expression is and how to simplify them by using backtracking and like terms.
 * For English I have been writing some short stories for my English task.I have been learning how to write a short story using objects and nursery rhymes as well as making up my own stories.

What I have completed:
 * In maths I have completed all the given work for Algebra. Which included things like Expressions, Equations, finding and using rules and many other things.
 * In English I have completed all my written tasks which includes writing about Little Red Riding Hood, turning a nursery rhyme into a story, making a short story using everyday objects and writing a 500 word story that has a plot and a resolution.

What I have done: = = =Term 4 Goals=
 * I went to inter-intermediate Softball.
 * I played for our inter-class touch team.
 * I have helped with our Gala stall.
 * To get into the inter-intermediate softball team. I can do this by trying out for the team and trying my hardest.
 * To get good results in most of my tests. I can do this by trying my hardest on all of them and learning more stuff.
 * To play more inter-class and inter-intermediate sports. I can do this by trying out for as many sports as I can and trying my hardest at them all.

= My Reflection of the end of Term 3 = I think this term I have done really well by getting all my work in on time and achieving some of my term 3 goals like: Trying harder at all my maths and English. To get better at cross country which last year I got in the 40's and this year I got in the 30's. But I think I could have spent more time on learning my times tables and division. I think my second goal I don't really need and a goal for the start of next term for the first week would be to get all my stuff completed in the first week and to settle in really quickly. I have had the best friends supporting me with things I have done and I really hope that it stays like that for next term. I really want to do some good things next year and I hope that everything will help me for collage. To me it still only seems like yesterday that we first came back to school ready for term 3 and now it is the last week for term 3 and one more term left for this year!

My Reflections:
 * What I have done this week:**
 * I have played touch with my class.
 * I have finished my inquiry about the brain.
 * I have started to design my sweatshirt for tech arts.
 * I have started my second book review for this term.
 * I have taught 'I Want It All' in jump jam.
 * I have started to make a mind map about Geometry.
 * I have finished my wall wisher about Measurement.
 * I have drawn an acute angle using a protractor and a compass.
 * I have drawn my first proper 3D shape.


 * What I learned:**
 * I have learned how to make a sweatshirt in sewing. To do this you need to design what you want the front and back to look like then you need to draw your designs onto a big piece of paper. These will be used to make your shapes out of cloth for your jersey. You then need to get the material needed. That is all we have done so far.
 * I have learned some new jump jam songs like 'I Want It All' from High School Musical 3. Jump Jam is sort of like aerobics except it is done a little bit differently. One of the different things about jump jam is that you can use a whole different lot of songs like songs off movies, hip hop songs or just any song that gets you moving.
 * I have learned how to draw an acute triangle with a protractor and a compass.To draw a triangle with a protractor you need to draw a straight line it can be as big or small as you want it to be. Then you need to find 60 degrees from both sides of the line and measure them so that they are the same length as the line that you started with. Like for example if the first line that you drew was 3cm long then the other two lines will have to be 3cm long. To draw a triangle with a compass you need to draw a straight line then you need to mark in two places the letters A and B but do not put them too close together. You then need to get your compass and make it the same length as the first line you drew. Then you need to put the point of the compass on the mark where A is and draw an ark then do the same on B. The two arks should cross over. Where they cross over you need to mark it as C. Then from C you need to draw another ark and this is D. Then making your protractor smaller but not to small you need to draw an ark from letter D and C and they should cross over then you need to draw a line from where they cross over to A. and this is your triangle.
 * I have learned how to draw 3D shapes.
 * I have learned what a mind map is and how to make a mind map.

I need to focus on getting my jersey started so it will be finished by the time our cycle in sewing is over.
 * What I need to focus on for next week:**

= Friday 4th September, 2009. = = = My Reflections:
 * What I have done this week:**
 * I have made some new friends from Belmont Intermediate.
 * I have worked on my inquiry about the brain with some people in my group.
 * I have had my last HPV injection.
 * I have finished all my English work including all my given work.
 * I have played badminton for the first time and won 4 out of 6 games.
 * I have created a song.


 * What I learned:**
 * How many parts in the brain there are. There is between 80 and 100 parts in the brain that scientists know about but because our brains are so complicated and big. Scientists hope to someday find most of the parts in our brain.
 * What line, rotational and total symmetry is. Total symmetry is when you add the rotational and line symmetry together. Line symmetry is when you can put a mirror somewhere on the shape and it looks exactly the same. Rotational symmetry is when a shape can be turned around and still be identical to the original figure.
 * How to play badminton. I learned how to play badminton when I went to a league thing to play for Megan because she was up in Belmont for the week.
 * How to create a song. To create a song you need to choose if you want a foot song, a heart song and many others that I have forgot. Then you need to just write from your heart put some music into it and you are done.

To get all of my work done instead of talking to others.
 * What I need to focus on for next week:**

Nicky, you need to work on being more specific about things you have learned. This means that you need to be able to explain your new learning. I wonder if you could think of a more specific goal for the week - what do you need to focus on to help you with any further learning?

= = = Term 3 2009=
 * To learn all of my times tables and division. I can do this by practicing them every night and to get my mum to test me.
 * To do more inter sports. I can do this by going and trying new sports out.
 * To try my hardest at my maths and English. I can do this by thinking positive about what I can do and to not leave it to the last minute.
 * To get better at running for cross country. I can achieve this by practicing every night and to set my mind to it
 * To achieve all of my goals. I can do this by thinking about what doing it.
