Pool Day

Hi blog viewers, welcome to my final blog! This is just a simple one about our celebration day. At the end of the term, we celebrate our learning with a special occasion. This year we went to Waltham Pool for the day. It was a moderate experience but still a fun one. There isn't much else to write about in this blog so, I wish you all the best for 2019!

Have you ever been to a pool with a large group of people! Tell me in the comments! Goodbye!

Memoir Writing

Hi all! Today, I will be blogging about my memoir. A memoir is a recollection of an event that has happened in the past. We had to fill in a planning sheet beforehand. It has nine core parts to it, which we were required to fill in. Unfortunately, I couldn't embed the article but here are a few of my favourite extracted sentences from my recollection of my 2017 Cantamath experience.

- and then a booming voice tells everyone to start. It’s disarray city as everyone is thrust into a adrenaline infused rush; -
- A shout of “GO SAINT FRANCIS!” echoes, distracting me from the question at hand. There’s 32 students in a music class; some are in the choir, some… pianos… fraction of possible… -
- “Why are you drawing pigs, Jorja?” Taylor asks, mystified. Since Taylor does most of the running, he didn’t hear our conversations of nostalgic Saint Paul’s things. -

When have you ever written a memory down to display? What was the event? Tell me below!

Reading Comprehension

Hey blog viewers! Today I will be explaining my Reading Comprehension; what we do with it. It's reasonably easy to read a 20 page book/comic, but after we've read it, we're required to fill out multiple parts of a slide displayed below. This is a good way to convey and share our learning, and to also provide evidence of said parts. I enjoy opportunities like this more than having to just answer questions. Apart from parts needed to fill, everything on the slide is the student's choice. Here is the slideshow with the questions. The scratch animation is still part of the slide, it is the Digital Learning Object. A D.L.O is a special conclusion to your written; a better way to express what you know.

Did you ever create a project relevant to your work that was more expressive? Tell me in the comments!

Maths Maintenance

Hi everyone, welcome back to my blog. With maths, like most things, you have to practice to either get better or stay on your level. But with maths this can be boring, repetitive, or both. Instead, we have Maths Maintenance. This is 10-question list that has 4 different levels to keep your areas of maths in check. They can focus on anything in maths, such as negatives, integer relations, fractions or powers. This system isn't in place in anymore however as it was too repetitive for the teacher's to make every week. I quite enjoyed this though.

Do you have a strength that you have to practice to maintain? What is it? Tell me below!
