My Term 2, 2020 Reflection

The new learning activity that I have enjoyed the most this term is Basketball because the girls got to play against the boys and we both tied !! I also liked how we got to go in teams and play against each other and it was FUN !!

Something that has challenged me this term has been doing the SRA because I was away. Also one time I did one with Jessica and Sophia, The funny thing was we got one wrong and it was the easiest one. We wrote ‘Jasmine walked to the earth of the pool ‘, but it was actually ‘ Jasmine walked to the end of the pool “ . We were laughing soooo hard .

The Whetu Challenge I enjoyed the most was the jingle because we had a good team and I thought ours was the best .

We did ours about L&P, it was so funny ! This is how it goes ‘ you Look so fizzy you make me dizzy, it’s like I am in heaven when I taste your lemon.

The opt-in workshop I enjoyed the most was dancing . I was very very embarrassed but i did it! My favourite dance we did was probably Happy because It was nice and made me happy, Also the dance was easy!

An aim I have for my learning is to get better at spelling because I used to do spelling before I went to Japan but I am in New Zealand now so I really want to get back into spelling English words.

Before we started I thought this challenge was going to be

I thought it was going hard and... it was !!!!

I decided to use the design : Standard I think it was really good but a little different because Michael showed me anther way to do it .
