My Term 4 goals
**My weekly goals and reflections**
 * To continue to do my best right to the last day of the term.
 * To improve some more in my trumpet playing.

25.10.09-30.10.09
This week I have

14.9.09-18.9.09
This week I have completed about a third of the maths that was left at the start of the week and I have also sewed on the hood, the pocket and sewed the shoulders together. This means that I only have to put on the sleeves and sew the sides together and then I will be finished. In hockey my team won the semi-finals 4-0 and tonight we are playing Matamata blue in the final. It will be a tough game but I think that we will win it approximately 1-0/2-1. I have learnt that for shapes to tessellate they have to fit around a point causing the inside angles to be 360 degrees. In english I have learnt how to work out anagrams and have found out that it is relatively easy to work them out.

My goal/s for the coming week are: To win the final of our hockey season. To finish all the work that has to be handed in before the due date and to a high standard.

7.9.09-11.9.09
This week I have successfully made all things in Fabric Tech Arts. I made a pouch and two gloves and also did a lot of written work. I do not yet know whether we have won the hockey game as they are always on Friday night and I am writing this before lunch time on Friday, but I will write how we did in the Semi-final sometime in the weekend or at the latest on Monday. This week I have learned all the different types of angles and how to name them. the different types of angles are: acute which is less than 90 degrees, obtuse which is an angle that is larger than 90 degrees but smaller than 180 degrees, reflex angles are angles that are larger than 180 degrees and smaller than 360 degrees. then there is also a right angle which is an angle that is 90 degrees, a straight angle which is 180 degrees and then there is a revolution which as the name states it is a 360 degree circle. Just yesterday I received a letter from Hamilton Boys High School stating that I was accepted to go to HBHS. I am very happy about that as I very much prefer HBHS to Te Awamutu College and because my best friend has also been accepted to go there. Also this week my Inquiry group finished our info-graphic about the brain. I am mentioning this because in my group was a person who I do not work very well with. However I was surprised at how well it went and would not have much of a problem with doing it again.


 * My goal for next week:**
 * I want to complete almost all of my maths that I have been set. I will do this by working hard and by not letting myself get distracted easily.

31.8.09-4.9.09
This week I have learned how to do Anagrams and how to work out the rotational symmetry of shapes. You work out Anagrams by looking for words in the clue and then mixing the letters to find the answers to the anagram. You find the rotational symmetry of shapes by finding out how many times a shape fills its own shape when turned in a 360 degree circle. I have also learned how to do a stroke in hockey. When you do a stroke there should not be much noise when you sweep the ball into the goal. You have to do a stroke when your team has a draw in either the semi-finals or the finals. Our team is in the running to be in the finals and already have a place in the semi's and that is why I have to practice the strokes. I have also started learning a new piece for competitions at the end of this term and I am also starting to learn a piece called Vega which I have to do for the exams at the end of the year. In band the senior band merged with the junior band and so we are now playing easier songs that the junior band know reasonably well so that they can still play the songs without too many wrong notes. In french I have learned the names of clothing and the weather and the days of the week, months of the year etc. I also learned how to build a computer from two computers that don't work although I have not been able to get windows on to it yet. However it does do what an OS free system should do.

My goal/s for next week: My out of school goal for next week is to help win our semi-final game in hockey so that we can be in the final. My in school goal for next week is to successfully make all things that we will be making in Fabric Tech Arts.

I like the way you are able to articulate the specific things you have learned during the week. Did you not have a goal for the following week - there must be something specific that you need to focus to keep improving in your learning! Sorry I forgot about that - Johannes

My Goals for Term 3 2009
· I would like to improve greatly in my hockey skills and be able to flick the ball accurately. I will do this by practicing about 2-3 times a week at home.

· I also want to try and get no questions wrong in one of the ICAS tests. I will do this by concentrating while doing the tests and by always checking my answers thoroughly when I have finished.
