My Learning Goals For 2013

My Writing goal for Term 1 is to automatically use the right language that is connected with the writing genre. I will achieve this by using deeper thinking and understanding what the author is trying to put across to their audience.  

My Reading goal for term 1 is to read more sophisticated books suitable for my age and also to read fluently. I will achieve this by reading more books that challenge my mind in my own time.

My Maths goal for term 1 is to be above the national standard. This means to know how to understand maths language and to also be able to revise over my maths skills. I will achieve this by listening and taking in what the teacher says during our maths sessions.

My Personal goal for term 1 is to join into sports with confidence. I will achieve this by not being shy and giving it a go! This means having self-confidence.

These are my learning goals for this term and I am willing to every thing I can possibly do to achieve them.

Netbook Reflection 2013

This year I have just completed my 2nd year with a netbook. This is my 2012 reflection.

The positives I experienced this year include the interacting with peers in our classroom. We get the chance to post new things on our blog that we share with people all around the world but also, responding to the work our friends have done too. This year we got to Learn, Create and Share. We all got to achieve most of our goals and

Some negatives that occurred this year was the slow internet connection.There have been sometimes where there were easy access to games and some unnecessary websites during learning which I think is where we need to take responsibility for our learning and use of netbooks.

This year I’ve learnt a lot more about my netbook such as doing my work on different google docs applications such as spreadsheet, Creating a various amount of graphs( leaf and steam, pie, column, bar, line.), presentation documents and google template. Now I wonder if next year we as Manaiakalani netbook students at Tamaki Primary will we be able to take our netbooks home next year?

It has been another year I have spent at school with my netbook and can I just say I really enjoy using it.
