Reflection - Extension 2019

Extension 2019 Reflection!

Term 1 - In Term 1 we learnt about the Treaty of Waitangi. Our DLO task was to make a Game Design. I enjoyed planning a Game Design, it made me realise that a game designer takes a lot of time to plan and create their product. One thing, I could've worked on more was contributing more to Paideia Seminar. It was also my first time going to KPMG.

Term 2 - Term 2, we did work related to Latitude and Longitude such as using Compasses, doing orienteering and more. DLO task was to create a Bincurity tool to help around school. I created a Manual Trash Compactor. We also went to KPMG this term.

Term 3 - For Term 3, we had make a movie about Sustainability. I was in a group with Eden, Zaeeda and Bethan. We made a video about children do have rights to speak the opinion. W also had a classification for the sea creatures. We put some sea animals into groups due to the features they have in common. We had a great time at KPM, going to Sustainable Coastlines to have a better understanding of the water resources and more.

Term 4 - This term was very busy but we made time to make a UV Sensor. We also went to KPMG in Week 3. WE learnt about UV Lights and the Ozone Layer / hole.

Overall. this year was jam packed with trips and events. It was so fun to go to KPMG and creating cool products for our DLO. Hope you enjoyed!

Reflection on Maths - Maths 2019

This year, I enjoyed Maths a lot. I learnt many things like Ratios, Decimals, Fractions, Percentages, Statistics, Geometry and Algebra. 

This year I have improved a lot compared to the beginning of the year and last year. My strengths are a part of the Strand Content. I need to keep on working hard mainly on Ratios and Number Knowledge.

Next year, Mrs Stone and I will try and move my grades up higher than it already is. I can't wait til next year for what kind of Maths we will learn more about. 

Overall, I am proud of myself for doing well on every Maths test and basically just this whole year's progress.

We did algebra equations and unfortunately we didn't get to do Mathletics. Why? Because we had to get ready for our tests coming up. Enjoy!
