Term 2 Reflection
I have enjoyed time with my peers and the different people I have met. I’m thankful for the different opportunities [ going on trips given by the school ]. A highlight of this term was probably doing the stem class with a teacher named Mrs Van Wyk. The rocket challenge was a great teaching of newton’s first law called “Inertia”. In English I have enjoyed the books I have read. Dawn raids was such a brilliant book. It felt like it was a diary of a kid who is my age, the same race, in this country who had gone through something unfair and unjustified. I can’t even imagine what it would feel like. Then obviously, maths, I learnt different/better strategies on how to solve the equations. This term was really just focused on Fractions. Adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, converting, simplifying,. This term the entire school was focused on arts specifically. My class split up into groups to create art out of bottle caps. It was supposed to be a way to show people how recycling everyday wastes into something beautiful. The team I was in created a sunset. Even though it looks like many things I thought it was nice. This term has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Sometimes I felt like I wasn’t doing enough work and sometimes all I wanted to do was do anything but work. Next term I’m really hoping I will learn the skills I need for the start of highschool. I feel like I’ve only touched base of what I should have been learning or what I should have learnt. I feel like I have the ability to work with people I wouldn’t work with often. I have really gotten to know some of these children over the past two terms. Although I prefer my own group of friends I feel like I know how to talk to all my peers. Next term, the goal is to learn what I need to learn for next year’s start.
