Scratch Experiment

Today we tried out this website and it was called scratch and this was mine that I completed. I really had fun doing this and I wish to do it again.

Sumdog competition

Yesterday was the last day for the sumdog competition and room 8 was really pushing hard to become 1st place but even though we came 2nd I think that it was a good achievement because we were in front of room 10. What I enjoyed about the sumdog competition was that we had so much fun and that we all learnt something new. I was so glad to hear that we came second place, and next time we do this I would like to strive harder to get to 1st place. I was also glad that the top 3 classes was from Glen Innes school and I thought that was a big improvement.

Reaching for the stars

This is my term 4 e-asttle math strand test, and I think that I have accelerated a little. My e-asttle results was a 4B but I am happy because I have accelerated. What I am aiming for is a 6 as a year 8 student and I am going to try my best to get the mark I want. What I'm going to do next time is practice with my siblings so that I can learn and so my younger siblings will learn as well.

Maths online learning games

These are four online activity's I played and they were really helpful and they were awesome learning maths games.

Maths T3W10

Today we had to make crossword for our vocablulary learning and for me it was quite hard because I didn’t have clues to give it but I enjoyed it and I also learnt new words in maths.

Concentric circles- 28/09/17

Today we learnt how to use a compass to draw concentric circles and I really enjoyed it. I learnt so much. I felt enjoyment when I made perfect circles and getting to know how to use a compass. My favorite part was using the compass. Next I would like to learn how to make a square. Today’s lesson was fun. I liked using a compass to make concentric circles.

Maths T2W9- Wednesday

For the past few days I have been learning about a rhombus. I learnt that they have
1. parallel lines on oppisite sides
2. It is a quadrilateral
3. It is a polygon
I found this easy to do and I really enjoyed doing it. Next I would like to learn about other quadrilateral shapes.

Improving in subjects

In the last few months we have been doing our e-asttle test on reading, maths and writing. I was nervous when we set the test for the maths and reading and writing. As we were setting the test, it was very nervous for me when we started the test.

Firstly reading I know I progressed because I moved from a 4B to a 4A I am really proud of myself. What I need to work on next is to try and get a 5A but if I want to move in a level 5A then I need to read in my own time like at home or at school.

Secondly maths I have a feeling that I have improved a little bit since I moved from a 3P to 4B but I still need to to get to the year 8 standard and I need to learn everything that I need to learn that have something to do about maths. What I think I need to learn next is fractions that is the major issue in my maths and also decimals and percentages.

Lastly writing, I have succeeded in writing because I skipped from 1P to 1A and then to 3B it was a big improvement but there still something that I need to learn so that I can be on a 5A or a 4A. I need to learn how to write an explanation writing and I also need to learn what to write about when I am writing an explanation writing.

And here we have the ending, I have talked about how I improved and what proof I have that I have succeeded in all subjects. I also have  talked about what I need to work on next time and what I am going to do in my own ar spare time. Next time I will try to remember what I need to work on these subjects when I have nothing to do at home.
