SUBJECTS REFLECTION THIS YEAR

BY JOE MUTIMER

This year I have learnt a lot in maths. I have learnt how to multiply decimals. The rule with multiplying decimals is that however many decimals are in the question that is how many decimals will be in the answer. I have also learnt how to find out the area and perimeter of a shape. Eg: To find out the area of a triangle you times the base by the height and then halve the answer because it is only half of a square or rectangle.

MATHS THIS YEAR

WRITING THIS

YEAR

This year in writing I have discovered new ways to make my writing more interesting.Some of the things I have learnt to use…• Adverbs• Prefixes• Pronouns• Interesting sentence startersWriting has been really fun and I enjoyed all the 100 word challenges.

INQUIRY THIS

YEAR

This year my favourite inquiry topic would have to be natural disasters. I have learnt a lot of new facts and really enjoyed the PLT’s that we have been working on. I think that the PLT’s everyone has done this year have all been up to a very high standard. I would think that this is because a lot of people enjoy presenting and working on PLT’s. I certainly think that it is a really fun way to learn about what our inquiry. I think that the inquiry topics we have learnt on have been very interesting.

ART THIS YEAR

During this years art I have learnt some interesting news skills. One of the skills that has helped me is that when you are painting and colouring to always colour in the same direction. One of my favourite pieces of artwork I have done this year is the Graffiti art. I also enjoyed doing the caricatures. I have enjoyed doing the serialism art because there are really no boundaries on what you do because the art can get as crazy as you want it to be.

LITERACY THIS

YEAR

Literacy this year has been fun but challenging at the same time. In my opinion the literacy contracts have been really enjoyable. It lets your choose a small activity to work on and you get to choose from a fairly big range of activities. Another way of doing our literacy is the literature circles. I thought that this was an interesting way to work on literacy. I thought that it was really good how you would report back to the rest of your group in a different way every day.

RELIGION THIS

YEAR

The religion we have done this year has been interesting. The posters that we recently did on advent have been really fun so have the phrases about a certain word we did. I thought that this was a really fun activity because you got to here about everyone's interesting phrases. I have learnt a lot of new facts. I have learnt that there was a Jesse Tree. The Jesse tree is a tree where all of Jesus’ relatives are on. And each of the relatives have a symbol. Eg: A rainbow is for Noah because God promised to not flood the whole world again.

SPORT THIS YEAR

This years sport against other schools has been so fun. I really enjoyed participating in…• Interschool footy• Basketball round robin• Kanga cricket • Athletics • Cross countryI am really satisfied on what I have achieved in sport through school. And I think that our school was very successful in our interschool sport. I am looking forward to playing again next year.

In this years collaborative groups I have experienced some fun and challenging times. Eg: For the fun time I have had fun making the big poster as a group. And the challenging time was when I had to draw a portrait of someone else's face with my right hand. I learnt a lot of new facts about other people that I have barely spoken to. I also enjoyed working with other people in other and younger classes. I think that this was a good idea and we should also do it next year.
