Term Four Goals:

This Term I am going to understand my maths better. I can achieve this by reading the question throughoutly and making sure I understand it and if I don't I can ask the teacher.

I am going to further my comprehension and use of different words in my English. I can do this by looking up in dictionaries and finding different words.

I am going to score a try in Touch. I can do this by trying my hardest and keeping up with the boys so I can get a try.

To achieve this goal I need to focus hard on all the maths I do and ask lot ’ s of questions until I understand it. I think I have achieved this goal as I can now understand more area’s of geometry and measurement and can answer questions fully.

I know how to use my e portfolio now online and can extend my learning at home.

18.09.09
This week I have Completed:

In English I have completed all my work including the vocabulary and comprehension. I have learnt what homophones are and have used the dictionary to find out words that are the same as other words that make homophones. For example if you have the words Basement and Merchant, you then have to find a different word for each word that is shown so there is for Merchant seller because a merchant sells things and then for basement another word is Cellar. So then you have the two words like this: Basement-Merchant Cellar-Seller I also learnt about words that are opposite, like bravery and cowardness and that some word may have many other words that you think they can pair up with but there is only one out of the list.Another thing I completed was my second book review which I decided to do on the book MArshmallow Magic and the Wild Rose Rouge by Karen McCombie.

In Tech Arts I learnt how to trace and cut out my jersey pattern and how to not cut out the crease in the hood as it is there for a reason. I also learnt that you have to place the patterns on close beside each other because otherwise you don't have enough room for the hood and pockets to be traced onto the fabric.

For my Inquiry I did a presentation with my group and we did self and pair assesments on our final infographic on the brain. Overall I think the main thing I learnt was that no matter what you do if it's a car crash or just falling off your bike if you hit your head it always does something to your brain usually if it's a small accident the damage is less and if it's a big accident it usually has a worst outcome, but you never know what could happen so you have to be safe. I think our group did well with this inquiry, but didn't always listened to each othe and relied on one member of our group overall I think we presented it well with alot of effort put into it.

Next week I think I need to focus more on my maths as I have finnished my English work now. I also think I need to start sewing my jersey in tech arts and also make my design and put it on it.

This week I have completed:
All my English and learnt about Big foot and the difference between cheetahs and leopards. While doing this I answered questions about the above topics to understand them more fully and to make sure I had read the articles probaly and fully understand them. Also in english I have learnt about Homophones and matching up words like salt and pepper. I have learnt that homophones are words that sound the same but are spelt differently like Made and Maid and Fair and Fear.When matching up words I have learnt that cloak and dagger go together and ball and jacks go together. I honestly didnt know that.

In maths I have learnt about translations. When doing translations I learnt that you go across left/right first then you go down/up second because if you don't then you could quite possibly get it wrong. I also learnt that you have to measure from the tip of your shape that the diagram is showing you otherwise you can get your measurements mucked up and therefore you will not have the right answer. Another thing I learnt was about rotation and how to rotate an object anti clockwise and clockwise depending on what the text book told me to do. Doing this I learnt that you have to take note of the direction you have to rotate the shape or otherwise try rotating it anti clockwise and clockwise until the shape is rotated in the right direction.

In Music which is the Tech Art I am doing at the moment I have started creating and finnished writing a song with Bridie and Kelela. I have sucessfully learnt about the different types of music there is such as latin and blues and ahve experimented and made up a song for both of them. One with Bridie and one by myself. I have also done a test and identified the difference between blues music and verus and chorus music and have really enjoyed doing music.

In Inquiry I have learnt how to co-operate with my group and have tried really hard to share the jobs around. I have really thought about our presentation and learnt that my peers have other opinions to me and have let them contribute more to our presentation. I think that our groups presentation is fully presented to our greatest ability and that we have tried to follow the success criteria and have done our best to present it right. We have put alot of work into it and are excited to find out the results.

What I need to focus on:

Next week I am going on Ski Trip One which is the first of the two Ski Trips at our school. I think that next week to learn how to Ski succesfully I have to:
 * Listen carefully to the instructer
 * Keep my Ballance right
 * Stay with my group and not get lost
 * Learn how to Ski succesfully!

This is great Georgia. You have thought about your new learning and have been able to explain exactly what you learned. I hope you had a great time on the ski trip and learnt how to ski!
