Term 3
Week 3
Goal Reflections
This week we would like you to reflect on your Term 3 goals. What are your Numeracy and Literacy goals for the term? What other goals do you have? Are you on track to achieve your goals? What do you need to do achieve your goals? What has been your favourite part of the year so far and what are you looking forward to this term?







My Term 3 Goals
My Term 3 maths goals are to practice my Roman Numerals so I know them off by heart.
I need to practice my measurements like MM ML Grams and Litres to help me with my AWS and MDR.
I need to memorise these measurements and Roman Numerals.
I want to learn the degrees of shapes.
I want to understand how to do this. I need to book a conference to get some help.
Long division is something I also need to work on.
I just need lots of practice with long division.

My literacy goal is to use more descriptive words. By using a dictionary and reading more will help me achieve this goal.
I also need to understand what I’m reading rather than just reading the words and not understanding it.
I have really enjoyed the block run and I am looking forward to Cross Country.
I loved the movie day and I can’t wait for the picnic.
Last year everything in Whenua was to easy and I was bored.
I like being in Whetu because I feel challenged.

Olympic Games 2016
The Olympic Games are the world’s biggest sporting spectacle. This year the Olympic Games are held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from the 5th to the 21st of August 2016. Rio was first discovered in 1502 by Portuguese explorers, who believed the bay they encountered (now called Guanabara Bay) was the mouth of a river.

There are forty-two sports represented in the Olympic Games some are: Judo, Fencing, Taekwondo and some other ones. I am looking forward to watching the Olympic Games because I want to see the different sports that aren’t done in New Zealand. There are 207 nations competing in the Olympic Games. There are over 10,000 athletes participating in this year’s Olympics.
