End of the year reflection.

Today class 9 has been writing about our reflection for the year.This year I’ve been learning heaps of maths,writing and reading.I will tell you what I’ve learned.

 The thing that i’ve enjoyed the this year and term is maths because I really like decimals and the way how it works.Fractions are hard too but i find them easy.Reading is what I enjoyed this year too.I like reading because I enjoyed the hard questions that we had to answer and i also enjoyed the activities.

 I found writing challenging this year and how I had to think and then write it down.Especially when its a test but maths was hard and was kind of easy at the same time.

 The goals that I have for 2015 is getting a higher reading level and make sure it is higher than ten point five and I would like to be in the extension.Writing i need to be more faster at typing and maths try and learn harder strategies.

 At my old school we didn’t have netbooks instead we had stationary.Like poem books and pencils and high lighters and thats what we preferred.But when i moved here in term three i only know a little bit about netbooks because i only came here a quarter of the year.

P.2.Empathy:

Empathy shows that you can care them share with and all the other stuff that goes with

caring.Now it is very important to show that you care you love them when i hang out with my friends we always show that we care.For example if a person is being mean to you then your friend come and sticks up for you thats what you call caring.

P.3.Honesty:

Honesty means you are telling the truth to them and if you were telling the truth to your

friend then that means that you a good friend.For example if you had to tell someone that you

have a different friend then just tell them and ask she or he if they want to join them thats being honest.

P.4.Friendship:

Friendship is when you have a best friend that is always on your side or that helps you.Makes sure that you are alright if you had a best friend make a friendship bracelet.For example If you friend that has done everything for you then make sure you do that to them or make friendship bracelets like i said.That is what you call showing friendship.

P.5.Conclusion:

Touch League

On Monday the 1st of December class 9 went to league.Have you been to league once?We have. Today we played survival tag with Paul and Tof .They were our coaches.

When we got there Tof told us the rules and it went like this. You are not allowed to defend or if you got tagged and you only have one tag then you put another tag on that was on the ground that’s cheating.There were two teams. I was in the green team and there was a white team.

“Go ahhh”that was when we started.We got some people  out but there were still heaps left. green were against white.”Oh” too bad because green team lost.Yay for Lani she was the last person to be in.

I enjoyed it when we had league. My favourite session with Paul and Tof was when we played this game and your not allowed to kick it too high or too low you have to do a grubber kick.It was fun and cool.

Athletics 2014.

Did you do athletics on the 14 of November? Well we did,we did our athletics on the field at Point England school. Mr Burt wanted us to try and compete in every sport for athletics.

P2.When Mr Burt finished the karakia Miss Va’afusuaga dismissed groups to go and do our events.I was in the year five girls group with Miss Ouano. First we did shot put I was in the finals but then I got called to go back to the line.The people who made it in was Angelica,Rosalina and Asia.There were groups like colour groups and I will name them for you.Tainui (blue)Takitimu(yellow)Te arawa(red) and mataatua(green),I was in mataatua.

P3.When we did  discuss there were two teams. ne team was where you can compete and the other team is where girls can go if they don’t want to compete at it.I went in Miss Tito’s team where you think your not going to compete in it.The the other team went with mr somerville.Discuss is fun but the only thing I don’t  like about it is how you have to throw it and you have to make sure it spins.

P4.How i felt about athletics I was excited and i always wanted to make it in the finals.When i first started the shot put i did really good but then i got nervous.There was Softball throwing and i was really confident when i had to throw the ball.
