Technology

WHAT: We had a go at some of the technology at Lincoln primary school.

SO WHAT: At Lincoln primary we got a chance to look at what programs the year 7/8s do every Tuesday. I was in the pink group and we got to do design, woodwork and science. In design we had 30 minutes to create a bridge that would support 500 grams for ten seconds then if it held we would determine who was the winner by the length of the bridge. For the wood work we got to poker burn coasters and for science we made paper clip and straw floaters that sink and rise when you squeeze them.

NOW WHAT: Mext year I am looking forward to robotics and textiles and design.

Swimming

WHAT: I have been involved in swimming this week. 

SO WHAT: we have been learning about safety skills and endurance testing in our class and it was really fun when we got to play with the ropes and noodles in our safety lesson. I found it really challenging to stay above the water when we had to trend for 2 minutes.

NOW WHAT: I want to improve on going faster in backstroke and breaststroke because when we do ten lengths of each stroke I can stay ahead of people by a length with freestyle but not in the other two ones.

Transitions

WHAT: We have been learning about Transitions last week.

SO WHAT: Some of the values I ticked are move safely because I never will trip people up or walk in ledges and stay in line because I don't stay back and drift back and forth.

NOW WHAT: I ticked two ticks on use quiet voices because sometimes I won't (use quiet voices).

Winter sport

WHAT: I have been involved in Winter Sport this year.

SO WHAT: This year it has been really fun for me to be part of the netball team competing in winter sport. We have had some really funny times and some good ones too. One of our best games would have been on the very last week when we made a massive comeback pulling into the lead by 8 goals who were all done by Siobhān.

NOW WHAT: Throughout the year I was mostly placed on defense so I never got a really good chance to shoot so I would like to work on playing in attack and shooting better.

Olympics

WHAT: We have been learning about the Olympics

SO WHAT: I enjoyed watching the woman's pole vault competition because Eliza McCartney was there on her first time at the Olympics and she got a perfect run all the way up to 4.85 metres which scored her a bronze medal but if she had made 4.85 she would have won. 

NOW WHAT: A sport I would like to compete in would be ice skating because it looks so graceful and dainty and it would require lots of skill.

Maths Measurement

WHAT: We have been learning  measurement 

SO WHAT: in this task we had to figure out multiple equations that all linked up.

An example is question a was ' in the opening round Sam gets 2/5s of the mini chocolate bars and 1/4 of the chuppa chups. There are 50 mini chocolate bars and 16 chuppa chups. Here is my answer

NOW WHAT:I am in the ratios maths group which is in room 11 and I want to work on improving my understanding of ratios and fractions.

Classroom CARE Values

WHAT: our values focus is classroom

SO WHAT: I think I am good at using my time wisely and knowing my learning goals and actively working to achieve them.

NOW WHAT: I think I need to work on contributing to class and group discussions and listening to and respecting others opinions, ideas and differences.
