Working With James

Today we did a short task about column addition and subtraction. I enjoyed how we got to try out our skills and work together. What I found challenging was remembering exactly how to work out the question I got because I didn't exactly think it through first but I was lucky to have my friends there to remind me how to work it out.

This is a video about some things that happened in my holiday! Hope you enjoy!

Term 3 Goals: Writing

Where am I at?

I am currently at 6P in my writing which I’m pretty happy about because I am almost at where I want to be which is a 6A. I currently have no strengths but my achieved are:

Structure

Organisation

Sentence

Why am I there?

I was able to have these in my achieved because I am very passionate about writing and I love every type of writing because it just let’s be free my imagination and ideas. I was able to put a lot of detail into my sentences.

Where to next?

I don’t exactly have any to be achieved because they’re all in gaps, even though I was good at them last term, meaning I have to work on them very hard this term to get that back into either strengths or achieved. The gaps I have to work on are:

Ideas

Vocabulary

Punctuation

Spelling.

I am going to work quite hard on these because these ones are the things I really want in my achieved or strengths and getting those into achieved or strengths may also mean I could reach my goal of getting 6A.

Term 3 Goals: Reading

Where am I at with reading?

I am currently a 4A in reading which was the highest we could get in our tests

For my strengths I have a couple of strengths and they are:

Being able to understand details in the story that tells you about the main idea.

Being able to know the meaning of different words, sounds, symbols, and visual bits of language placed in the story.

To figure out what the author wrote and question what it means.

Why am I there?

I was able to have these in my strengths because I worked hard on them and understand the details in the story that tells me about the main idea, I made sure that while I was reading I was trying to figure out the main idea as well as what’s happening in the text.

Where to next?

I do have a lot to work on but that just means that I am going to be busy this term and have a lot to do! The things that I have to work on are:

To keep reading to understand the meaning of the text

To make a conclusion or assumption

To choose accurate and logical information

To talk about and find important parts of the text

Term 3 Goals: Maths

Where am I at?

In my maths I have finally been able to get slightly above the National Standard and I am at 4P. I am still trying to reach the 5’s. My strengths in maths are:

To find a fraction or percentage of an amount

To order decimals using tenths, hundredths, and thousandths

To make a fraction as a decimal, and a decimal as a fractional

To write and solve problems by multiplying and dividing decimals

As you can see I have quite a few but I want more in there.

Why am I there?

I was able to have these in my strengths because I have been working on fractions and decimals quite hard because I was really bad at them last term. But I’m still trying to work on my multiplication and division.

Where to next?

I have a lot to work on in maths because it’s one of my weak subjects but this term I am going to put in more effort than I did last term.

My to be achieved subjects are:

To arrange numbers by factors and multiples, including primes

To tell the meaning of digits in numbers using tenths, hundredths, and thousandths

To write and solve whole number and decimal problems using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division

I’m going to work on these and try and get these into achieved or strengths to move up higher into a higher level. I also need to work on my multiplication still as I’m not very great at them.
