Summaries

Last term (Term One) was an awesome term. I had a really good time. There were many cool things we did like art, swimming and lots more. As well as the cool things, there were many challenges. One of the challenges for me was some of the maths.

 I enjoyed doing speeches on immigration to New Zealand even if I was extremely nervous to start with. I also enjoyed being part of the North Creek Project. At the end of our school, we have a creek. It is very unpleasant, so the students of Greytown School are going to restore it into a learning environment. I had a lot fun writing a media release and having photos taken in front of the creek for local newspapers.

 Altogether, Term 1 was interesting, fun and really worthwhile.

 This term, (Term 2) was really cool. It's been extremely exciting as, even though the North Creek is an ongoing project, the final major steps have been completed and we are now preparing our opening. I was yet again asked to write the media release about the opening of the North Creek which I enjoyed lots.

 Our topic which was ecological buildings was really interesting as looking at buildings in an ecological way is not the usual inquiry topic. I found it great as I now know more about what ecological buildings actually are.

 My maths has really improved as at the start of each term we do the ladder test. This test shows what stage we will be at (1 being the lowest - 8 being the highest). Last term, my ladder test showed that I was at stage 6 and I am now at stage 7 which is awesome.

 I am really pleased with my reading work. I am very excited too as my reading comprehension is the same as a year 9 and I am year 7. I have really enjoyed our reading and writing this term, and I especially liked writing around a picture. Check out the writing pages to see my creative hawk story.

 I think that Term 2 was really worthwhile. I learnt a lot of new things (including I.T) and improved at reading and maths. I am looking forward to seeing what we are going to do in term 3.

This term has been a seriously great one. Although we have a lot of work and it has been pretty hectic, I have gotten everything done and I am proud of my work. I am pleased with the outcome of my ICT Inquiry with Ella on How Has Communication Changed Over The Years as we both got 5B for our presentation, effort and overall. The cool thing about this term is that all of our work has been done using Web 2.0 tools, that is apart from maths as we do that in exercise books. We have done retelling of myths and legends, expositions, poetry, writing, reading and much more. I think using Web 2.0 tools make work more interesting, so I am looking forward to what new computer skills we will learn next term (Term 4). As for the maths, I am quite pleased with how I am going, but I need to do a bit more practice as I could have done better for our Algebra Pre-test. I have also enjoyed presenting work in a movie format, for example our ICT Movies. Overall, I enjoyed this term a lot, and as I said, I can't wait to see what other cool things we will learn next term.

I think this term has been so cool! We have done so many cool things and I have learnt so much! I am really pleased with my work and the outcome of my reading as I got a 5A which is really exciting! For my inquiry I scored a 4A which is also really cool, but I need to work on my maths a bit! <span style="font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace;">I think the best thing about this term has been school camp, it was so much fun and I got a lot out of it, including cooking skills, compass work, bush bashing, river crossing and heaps more!
