what was challenging was speeches because it was hard finding out how many people smoke and how many cirgaettes were littered each year and making sure it made sense. technology because measuring the ingredients

Term Reflection - By Lily

This term I found writing speeches hard because it was tricky to make the speech longer than three minutes. It was also challenging to make the speech persuading and humorous to stop the audience from being bored. We had to have an exciting introduction to grab the audiences attention and we also had to have interesting key ideas for the speech to flow. The conclusion had to leave the audience thinking about the speech that had been delivered and they had to be able to understand the content.

We started this term with technology with Mr Wilmot and Miss Munro, which was a first time experience for us.
Miss Bradley had her three week posting with our class from week five to the end of week seven, as part of her teacher teacher training. With Miss Bradley we studied Matariki and the traditional celebrations and legends that go with it.
We did cross-country in our age groups and put in a lot of training and effort. When this finished we were able to move onto our P.E unit, improving our large ball skills in the space provided.
Steph Chambers came to our class to help teach us the French language and to explore the history and modern ways of a French students life.
Our science unit contained a mixture of experiments including 'soda can jump,' which I found entertaining especially when the can hit Richard in the head.

French stands out as my number one preference for this term, I would love to learn more advanced French.
I also enjoyed presenting my speech, the topic was 'why you should choose Invercargill over Auckland to live,' I personally enjoy speaking in front of a large crowd.

Term 2 reflection Callum

What was easy?

I found PE and cross country easy because it involved running and I like running.

What was challenging?
I found that speeches and science were challenging because we have to write a lot and sometimes you don't know what to write about and it gets boring. I also don't like speeches because I don't like talking in front of people. I found science challenging because of the scientific terms.

Where did you do the most learning?
I did the most learning in the Matariki project because I didn't know much about it I only knew that they are stars.

What would you like to do more of?
I would like to do more of technology because it is fun and we only do it once a term, and I enjoy making things.

Term 2 Reflection

What I enjoyed the most was P.E because there were games that were new for me like tag ball. It was favourite because it was kind of challenging and we had to think a head.

I think that i have improved the most on my 6 and 7 times tables.The basic facts cards have helped me a lot.

I found the most difficult was writing the speeches because it was hard to find a topic and I had to keep adding on to meet the time.

I think I have learnt the most about Matariki because at first I only new it was a star now I now heaps of story to it.

The thing i wont to more of is p.e because its good to have a run around and get fresh air.

Term 2 Reflection Casie

 What would you like to do more of?

 I would like to do more drama because I love acting and it is a great skill to have. I think it would be cool if our class did a play together. We would do great!

What did you do the most learning at and why?

I did the most learning in math because math is not my strong subject. I learnt a lot of ways to work out my problems. Now, I have more than one way of solving something.

What did you find challenging and why?

I found word lab challenging because we just started it and I am still trying to wrap my head around it. Sometimes I wrote the word when we were just doing it on the board so then I do too many words in one day.

Overall, I enjoyed speeches because I love writing and presenting them. Not many people like them (for some reason)

so I am very lucky. Speeches help you work on speaking in front of an audience. So if you want to run for president, speeches can help with that.

Richard's Term 2 Reflection

What was challenging?

The most challenging thing I had to do was speeches. The writing wasn't that hard, but the presenting definitely was. Another challenging thing was Word Lab because it just keeps going on and on. Even now I still don't understand the concept of it.


What would you like to do more of?

I would like to do more drama, like we did at the start of the year. I would like to do more because it was really fun and I enjoy acting. I would also like to more interesting science experiments, but without  so much writing because, well, that's boring.


Where did you do the most learning?

I think I've done a lot of my learning in French. I didn't know anything about the language before except "bonjour" and "wee" which I later learn't was spelt "Oui." I'm glad that I now know several words from the language.


What did you find easy?

I found science easy because it was enjoyable and interesting. All the experiments were differnt and one I had never heard before. Another easy subject was Matariki. There wasn't very much to learn at it was all very easy.




Overall

Over this term we have done lots of fun activities as well as being educated. Term 2 has been the term yet and I can't wait for more.

Rylees Term 2 Reflection

This term we have learnt about a lot of things with both Miss Carran and Miss Bradley. Some of the things we did was Cross Country, Science, Technology, Matariki, Speeches, P.E, French and WordLab. 

<<<<Science photos


Ive benefited from Cross County training and Cross Country because now I am pretty fit and that has helped with netball. Doing P.E and focusing on large ball skills has also helped because it has helped with passing infront of a player when they are running, using space and doing strong passes so that the other team cannot intercept.


Speeches was challenging because I hate speaking infront of crowds and thinking of a topic and key ideas was also hard. French is interesting to learn about but pronouncing the words correctly was difficult and also writing about our experiments was sometimes hard because we had to you scientific words and describe what the experiment had done. 


I really enjoyed doing woodwork Technology because we got to learn to use different machinery and tools and what to use the on and at the same time we were making something we could keep and use ourselves. P.E was fun because we got to go outside and work as a team to achieve what we were trying to do.

I have learnt a lot about Matariki over the three weeks we learn about it. Before we started I only I only filled up half of a card and when we finished I completed both sides of two.

After 

Over all I have enjoyed this term and learnt a lot.
