Term 1 reflection

Term one has been a great term I learnt that in room three you have to work hard and challenge yourself with every thing  that you do and if you don't get it done you better do it in your own time like lunch and after school. I also learnt that you participate in lots of interhouse and interclass competitions like softball and summer games. I feel that I have made lots of progress in my work even though we have just finished term one and I can't wait to see if I improve in term two in my writing and maths, these are all good things but I need to work on my maths because I'm struggling with things such as integers, multiplication algorithms and bedmas I understand them but I don't know my multiplication enough to just get they answer straight away and that's why I struggle with multiplication algorithms . I also need to start moving out of my fixed mindset into a growth mindset which I want to start in term two because this term I felt like I went out of my comfort zone a tiny bit in work, I need to challenge myself more in terms of putting my hand up for sports. I am learning what integers are and do division and multiplication algorithms which are actually really useful for helping you multiply.I am also learning french with Mrs Shaw which is new to me and we have been learning to say greetings and count to ten. I also learnt this term how to play softball and danish rounders properly which helped in interclass competitions softball is a game that you have to be smart at you just can't swing or hit the ball whenever or where ever or you will be out. I am learning how to edit writing the proper way instead of just looking at punctuation and the mistakes I am learning to look at what you could improve or change and seeing if my I could make the word better or make my simple sentence into compound and complex sentences. This term I learnt lots of things and next term I definitely am going to learn more and I am going to try and achieve these goals.

Wellington reflection

At the Wellington Zoo I learnt that more animals adapted then I knew about like the boa constrictor adapted to the rough tree bark so it's scales become similar to sandpaper. also that Spider Monkeys tales were like a third arm or leg it was really fascinating and funny seeing the animals react to us. At Zealandia I learnt about Bird and Insects that I have never heard of before like the leaf vain slug and the saddle back which are really spectacular sight and that the saddle back is distant relative of the huia and also kokako. I also learnt at the space place that if you look closely sometimes you can see planets but they just look like bright stars and also the big telescopes that astronomers use have little guiding telescopes on the side to help them find the planet or star there looking for because one small movement in the big telescope is hundred's of kilometers in space. At Capitial E I learnt that being camera man is actually really important so is everyone else on set like the vision mixer can't do there job with out the sound operator. At Weta Workshop I learnt that an actor has to sit in a chair with a plaster on their face for four hours just to get a face model  and how to make homemade fake blood also that wearing some of the armour that they make you would get really hot in. H2o extreme that was so fun going down the yellow water slide my stomach went into my mouth and in the wave pool I just wanted to relax and melt in the water Wellington was so much fun Thank you.
