2015 Reflection

My Reflection

Over the past four terms I have attended  Point England School it has been a really huge experience. I am feeling proud that I have managed myself and made it to the end of 2015!! and the end of year eight. If I was to give myself a grade out of 10 for been awesome I would pick 9 because I have tried my best at everything and have been working hard to get every task finish on time.

One thing that encouraged me to do better was our  year eight leadership camp, because all the year 8’s grew stronger and stronger and became more mature with things. Each year eight student has changed in a huge and awesome way.

I like contributing to team five by learning and listening to the teachers when I'm supposed to. Helping out around the senior block and contributing to sports around the school because it is helpful and respectful.

Throughout this long year I have achieved one of my main goals which is playing and learning many sports and encouraging other to join sports. Sports is one of my favourite hobbies to do because you exercise and become fitter.

Things that I would like to change throughout next year would be to communicate and interact more with people and be a lot more confident with myself. For next year’s teacher I would like you to know that I am going to try my best at everything I might trip but hopefully I get back up. And I am going to join as much sports as I can.

I found a lot of things difficult like literacy because I really don’t like writing and reading but this year I am trying to become better with literacy so that I can have a better future for myself. Things I found satisfying was maths and sports because I love things subjects and hobbies. Maths is my favourite subject and I love any type of sport.

Things I would like more help with would be being more confident in front of other people and learning more with my literacy so that I can become better with it. To show my teacher to understand these things you would have to read this reflection and show some photos from this year.

Reflection over the year

This year has been epic this is my last year of intermediate and it has been my best year yet. I have just started this school this year and I am really happy I have met really good people. I really like my home class because we all bond together and we have a wonderful home teacher Mr Wiseman!!

One of my favourite things that has happened this year is going out of sports days and having sports every Friday. I like that Miss Va'afusaga our sports teacher is really nice and caring. She helps everyone improve in everything and always has a smile. you can go visit the sports blog 

My favourite subject is Maths because I like working with numbers and moving to a different class and working with other people.  My favourite thing of maths is algebra because I like working with the alphabet and numbers together.

Measuring Angles

This week in my maths class we have being learning about Measuring Angles , acute , obtuse and right . Our key we used was a triangle is 180 degrees and a rectangle is 360 degrees the rectangles come it different ways and sizes but if they have four corners then it means its a rectangle. Maths is my favourite subject in learning. Measuring angles is when we find out the missing angle from other the rectangle,triangle or right angle.

Maths Presentation

This week we are learning about integers this is my presentation about integers. I am in Miss Clark's maths class and we have only been learning about integers this week and I already know about integers that makes me really happy.

Think Board

This week we are learning integers this my think board about how integers I used addition. I wrote 10 similar questions to integers you can try figure them out and learn more.

My Learning

This week in literacy we have been writing about how to prevent yourself from getting sick. Firstly, we started to write and introduction and conclusion and then we had a group discussion with the teacher . I learnt that one of the best ways to prevent yourself from getting sick is to not share your food or drinks that you have already eaten or drunken because it can cause sickness which is one of my paragraphs in my writing.

Secondly, I saved the best for last my favourite subject maths .  This week we are learning about Algebra , algebra is a maths topic it connects with the alphabet we are trying to find out what algebra is and how it can help us. Other things we learnt in maths this week was positive and negatives . Positive and negatives are like adding and subtracting but a little bit more difficult. For example -45 + x = 76 we have to try and find out what the x is so you add 45 + 76 because it is a negative and it equals 121 so that is the answer is the x . There is a lot more questions that I will show and you can try figure them out.

My group called Octagon's had a group discussion to learn about what Ratio And Proportion is and Miss Clark gave our group some questions and we had to answer   them with a partner.
