The student enjoyed art and cultural studies but found it annoying when the teacher had to repeat things. Their favorite activity was a koi carp sketch because they liked how it turned out. They would have liked to add more color to their koi carp. They disliked a wire sculpture activity because they kept pricking themselves. Overall, they felt they put in a good effort in their work.

1. Hannah’s Portfolio No guts, No glory, No pain, No gain

2. ART/CULTURAL STUDIES RED HAT: z How did you feel about these subjects? I really like art and cultural but because some people talk, and Miss Rawlinson has to repeat what she has already said it is quite annoying . WHITE HAT What did you learn throughout the terms? The main thing that I learnt was that there is a Children's day and all the pieces came together when Miss Rawlinson explained it. YELLOW HAT: What were your favourite activities that you did? My favourite activity was the koi carp sketch because you had to try and make it look life like and i really liked mine in the end. GREEN HAT: What would you have liked to have done differently? Explain I would of liked to make the koi carp another colour because it looked dull with just two colours, which were orange and black BLACK HAT: What things didn't you enjoy and why? I didn’t like the wire sculpture because I kept pricking myself with the wire, plus we got the leftovers. BLUE HAT: How would you describe your participation and effort overall? I believe that I put all my effort into my work and because I like to learn new things and make crazy things......... I really enjoy it. ALL OF IT.

4. Writing reflection slide So far this year in writing we have done diary writing, reflections, persuasive writing and learnt how to highlight main points and do some research (body system). The persuasive piece I chose to publish was “Too Much Money is Spent on Toys” I chose to publish this piece because it was my best piece and quite long too. This year I have improved in: How much I write. I can now write longer sentences that are more interesting. Writing persuasive pieces because we have done lots of work on how to set them out and what we should include. Writing more interesting things because I use describing words and try to start my sentences in different ways. Using paragraphs because planning out my writing helps me work out when I need to start a new paragraph. Using capitals, commas and talking marks because we have done lessons on them and I understand them better. Using better words in my writing My reflections. I can now write about how I feel and what I think and include reasons.

6. Some Novels I’ve read Just a Dog I liked how the book told me sort of how the characters look. It made me feel quite happy because you had this picture in your head of everything the author explained. I learnt that an animal brings the family together and they bring back memories. I would change Mr Mosely being very big because he could hurt someone. BABE I think that the book was very good and it describes the characters very well. There were a mixture of emotions in the book, sometimes it made you fell sad and sometimes happy. I learnt that you can be anything if you try. I would’ve changed that Mah didn’t die because it was sad. The message the book was giving was “you can be anything if you set your mind to it and put in the good work,”

10. Reflections The best thing about being in your grade is being the leader. In all my other grades I have been the lower grade and in prep I was in a straight grade. Being the leader is different because you get harder work and learn more. This term I have improved in my tables by learning them automatically. The best thing about this year is I get to be with Ms Stevo again. It’s nice to be with a different group of kids and be the older in the grade. Tom Hafey challenged me to be the best I can be. He told us to do as many push ups as we can. I thought to myself "Why push ups?" He answered that question later in the talk. He said that he did 230 push ups and 230 sit ups. He chose push ups for no reason, he just wanted to see if we could stick to something. He also said that you don't have to be the best in the class, you just have to be the best YOU can be. He's motto is "If it is to be it is up to me," The fist 5 words mean:if you want it to happen. The other 5 words mean:only you can make it happen. He is a real inspiration and he has changed my life.

On the platform it seemed pretty high but it was high at when you were pushed off. Volleyball Team Building Camp Fire Animals Low ropes course

16. Camp Reflection Camp was tawesome. My highlight was sleeping in the cabin. It was hysterical trying to get too sleep. Unfortunately we hardly got ANY sleep. The thing that was better last year was we got to spend more time in the cabin. Something important about camp is independence. It means you don’t have to rely on a adult for everything. The skills that you learn at camp is teamwork. In school you can be sort of a team but not like camp. In team building you have to really work as a team. The food was delicious. Hamburgers and sandwiches are what you usually get at camp but those ones were delicious. Having to spoodles made the camp more joyful. I had a great time and I hope the teachers did as well.

18. My endangered animal project was on the Brushed Tailed Rock Wallaby CATEGORY 4 Couldn ’ t do any better 3 Did a good job 2 I can do better 1 Need to improve a lot Was I prepared? My cue cards were numbered, had sub headings and only key words written on them. I practised what I was going to say quite a few times. Most of my cue cards were numbered, had sub headings and only key words written on them. I was fairly prepared but should have practised more. Some of my cue cards were numbered, had sub headings and only key words written on them. I thought I was prepared, but it was clear that I didn’t practise enough. I wasn’t at all prepared to present my project and had a lot of trouble remembering what I had to speak about. My cue cards were unorganised. How did I sound? I spoke clearly and distinctly all the time and at a good pace. Everyone could hear me clearly. I didn’t read off my work or cue cards at all. I had relevant and interesting pictures everyone could see and used them at the appropriate time. I spoke clearly and distinctly most of the time, but spoke too fast. The class could hear me clearly most of the time. I read off my work a little. I had relevant pictures everyone could see but didn’t use them all at the appropriate time. I sometimes spoke clearly and loudly enough but had some problems pronouncing what I was talking about. The class had trouble hearing me at times and I looked at my cue cards too much while I spoke. I didn’t have many relevant pictures and I forgot to use them. I mumbled at times and the class found it hard to understand me. I had a lot of problems talking about what I had learnt. I read off my work or cards the whole time nearly. I didn’t have many pictures, they were had to see and I forgot to use them. How was I feeling? I was relaxed and confident. understood what I was talking about and didn’t make any mistakes. I showed what I had learnt I I made a few minor mistakes, but quickly recovered from them: I was fairly comfortable while I was talking and knew what my project was mostly about. I was a little nervous and had trouble remembering what I had learnt. I made quite a few mistakes and didn’t include enough detail. I was quite nervous and this affected what I said and how I said it. I didn’t remember what I had done on my project or what I was meant to talk about. How well did I cover and understand my topic I covered all of the areas I was asked to in detail and understood the information I spoke about very well. I covered most of the areas I was asked to but not fully. My information showed I had a reasonable understanding of my topic I covered some of the areas I was asked to and my information showed I understood some of the topic but I didn’t have enough detail. I only covered bits and pieces of my information and didn’t fully explain what I had chosen to talk about.
