Reading: I have really improved my self-monitoring skills so that I have a greater understanding of the text I’m reading. I’m improving reading the text thoroughly and rereading to get better answers. I need to improve on picking the best reading strategy for the text and reading different genres.
Writing: I’ve really improved with deliberate word choices that add depth and more understanding to the piece so that the piece is more enjoyable for the reader. I need to improve on making my writing more creative and not always needing a base idea to write an interesting story.
Maths: I have improved my problem solving skills and now I have a variety of strategies to choose when I get stuck. I’ve improved on knowing the knowledge behind a process and not just knowing how to do something. I need to improve on using the strategies that I’ve learn’t and use them in my problem solving.
ASPIRE: I’ve really improved on my time management skills from the first term to the second term. This time I’ve used my time more efficiently and have got a greater understanding of the process of ASPIRE. I think I need to work on using my knowledge of my topic to back up my hypothesis so it has more facts to back it up.
Social: I have made heaps of new friends at balmacewen throughout the class and sports teams. I need to practise things at home so I get better results.
Goals:
- Add more description to my writing
- Go to Otago’s for Cross Country and Athletics
