Term 3 Reflection

What have you enjoyed the most this term and why?

• I have enjoyed doing the Block run because it is nice to get out and get some fresh air.
• I have also enjoyed doing handwriting because I like to see my handwriting improving each time.
• I have enjoyed being challenged in Whetu because last year I felt like all of my work was way too easy for me.

What has been challenging this term and why?

• My IXL has been challenging for me because sometimes I don’t understand what I am doing.
• Sometimes my blog post has been challenging because sometimes I have no idea what to write.
• My AWS 15 quick questions has been challenging because there are some things in there that I haven't learnt with my maths group yet but I am getting better each week.

What are you looking forward to next term and why?

I am looking forward to iMake because I would love to learn all of the skills for my impact project. I am also looking forward to finishing our impact project because we are going to be selling them at the Ngatea Garage sale.

Impact

My impact group is the Garage sale Group. We have started to plan what we are making to sell at the Ngatea Garage sale. Brooklyn and I are in a group and we have started to practice making bookmarks to sell. The next steps are to make our projects and finding a good price to sell them at. I am enjoying doing the planning and finding pictures on the internet to help us get an idea of what we should make. I am not enjoying finding the prices of our materials because I can’t really find any ideal prices for the materials we are using.

Art

For the last two weeks our homework was to make a project on a polystyrene cylinder. I got my idea from when I was holding mum’s diamond ring and thought it would be a good idea for my project.

My dad and my brother helped me. My brother carved a diamond to show me how to do it, then I carved my own, but It was not as good as his.

Then my dad cut out the ring part for me. First of all I painted it. I had to wait till the next day for it to dry. Then I covered the ring in tin-foil to give it a shiny effect. Last of all I stuck the diamond on with a hot glue gun then it was ready to take to school the next day. At the end I thought my project could have been more creative when I looked at everyone else’s, but I still liked the idea of a ring. When I looked at everyone else’s I liked Cruz’s hamburger and chips I thought it was really awesome. Here is the finished product.

Cross Country

Cross Country was nerve wracking. I came first just like the following years, but I was so nervous. What if I slipped over and dropped back into last place. I felt so tired after. My legs were aching and they still are. The training around the block might have worked I don’t really know because it just felt like I was running my normal pace. I made it into Hauraki Plains and I hope that I can come first just like last year. I really hope I do well and wish for everyone else from Ngatea Primary School to do well too. My goals are to make in to Thames Valley Cross Country.
