Term 1 reflection

Throughout this term, we have completed many tasks, done lots of test and most of all improved our skills. The previous term has been fun and enjoyable and I have learned a lot. The past term in maths we have completed number which consists of algorithms, powers, adding, subtracting and many other activities we have learned. During our time doing mathematics, I learned lots more than I previously knew and hope to continue to learn lots over the following term. In reading, I learned lots of new skills and am confident I can use them correctly. I am also continuing to read a wider variety of books and authors and giving new genres ago and am enjoying my time trying something new. In writing, I have learned lots of commas, punctuation, capital letters and that I need to seek excellence and strive for greatness in everything that I do and not be too easily satisfied with my work and mainly push myself. Out of class, I have learned lots of new skills in basketball, softball, and many other new sports. I am enjoying participating in lots of outdoor activities and hope to pursue all of the sports I enjoy. Overall I have accomplished many of my goals and am really proud of myself. This term has been great and I am looking forward to the terms to come.

Week 8 Term 1 CAMP!

This photo was taken at Zealandia as we walked across the dam 

On Sunday morning we left for camp. Throughout camp, we did many activities and experienced lots of new things. During the first day, we went to Zealandia. We saw many rare species of birds that were interesting, and we learned a lot about different birds like the Kaka, Tui, Fantail, and many other species of birds. We visited Weta Workshop and Parliament on one day. At Weta Workshop I learned many new things about movies, acting and what happens behind the camera at Weta Workshop. While we were at Parliament I learned about how laws are made and what happens in parliament. We also visited the Wellington Zoo and went snorkeling. At the Wellington Zoo, we saw many animals and creatures they were all very interesting and different. While we were snorkeling I saw many fish and other life that live in the ocean like a Blue Moki and Paua the size of my head, and many more sea creatures. Overall camp was a great experience I learned so much and I enjoyed it heaps, it was great.
