2014 Reflections

So this year 2014 is coming to the end. This year has been such a blast with my friends and my AWESOME teacher. Having to come back to G.I.S has been a good and crazy journey for me. For me to leave would be so heart breaking to be really honest. Im enjoying G.I.S very very much. If I were to change anything about this school, it would be nothing, everything is pretty much good.  

Having opportunities like sports camp was a fun, interesting, emotional, difficult and funny.

Sport camp was one of this years highlights, the food was on point. The sports were new to me aswell. Meeting other school was also cool. Making our own chants was legit. I am very lucky to be a student here at G.I.S.

Also thanks to our Principal Mr Hendricks for making it happen and to us students.

Exponents

WALT- Solve Exponents

In this game I had to figure out equations about exponents. They will give you questions like, find out the answer for letter for m. I think this game really revised back on my knowledge of  exponents. This game was very helpful for my learning. Next time I would like to learn how to subtract integers fluently.   

E-astle Results

In my e-astle test I got a 3a. My results were bad for me, I was disappointed when I found out. I could of improved better on my algebra.    

Order of operations

WALT- Order of Operation

I found these operations challenging at first because I didn't understand it until I revised the rule that we were told. Bedmas that stands for B- Brackets E- Exponents D- Division M- Multiplication A- Addition S- Subtraction. That was the strategy that helped me. This exercise helped me to be independent. Next time I would like a few more of this exercise. Just so I can be be more faster.

Co - ordinates

  WALT- Finding Coordinates

The point of this game is trying to beat

the time session as well as getting points. It was tricky at first but as I got used to it I improved.

Next time I want to work on beating the time session.  

   

Skipping was a surprise !

Skipping for Heart Health

Every year G.I.S  is always invited to skip and perform their Jump Rope routines. This year was nerve racking, my heart was beating as fast as a cheetah. Every single class had their moves and songs to show off.

The confidence that we all took on the performing stage, was encouraging. My favourite performance was all of the classes but the best one that stood out was Rm10.  Why? Because they were all participating. The people were cheering and shouting their names and although sometimes it could get a little bit embarrassing it was still awesome.

The purpose of doing skipping is to keep

• Fit
• Active
• your heart pumping

So guess what it hit the point when it was my class to skip, nerve racking, much. Some part of me wanted to skip and then the other side of me wanted to just sit out, but then I didn't want to let my class or school down. As we skipped to the song I got happy because the people were cheering and people were having fun watching us so I just went with the flow and it was fun.

 

Triangular Isosceles.

Walt- Making Nets

In math class our topic was to make nets. To make a nets, we had to use a compass and have an accurate measurement. Making a net, was confusing at times because we got wrong measurements and then we had to start over again. Doing the square based isosceles triangular was easy using the ark. Next time I want to learn how to make different shapes using the ark.
