Term 1 goal reflections

Literacy-To learn to use commas with confidence
I achieved this goal because I looked back at my work,asked a friend for help and reading my work out loud to myself.

Maths- To learn my 4,7 and 8 times tables
I have to still learn my 8 times tables but the rest I have almost learnt every single one, to help me I have practiced at home, learnt different ways to count and found easy way that suit me.

My special goal- I will be more focused when we change from one task to another
I have archived this goal because I practiced at home with instructions,reminded myself from time to time and look and listen more to instructions outside and in class. :)

Fundraising for plants

Today was day 4 of our inquiry,we got to choose groups to plan our school garden. I was in the fundraising group that means I am in charge of getting the money to buy the plants. First we put all our ideas on paper we made them step by step. Our step was plan it,firstly that meant we were planning where,when,who,what and why so gave us a good understanding of our plan. We made the steps so that when we do fundraise we have a check list to know what comes next. Our group will be good at fundraising because we have got a lot of amazing ideas and we've sorted out our plan,at this rate our garden will look colourful and beautiful.

Anyone for a sandwich?

First day

When I was five years old I came for my first day at Burnham School, it was scary at the time but when I walked in I realised it was a really small school well that's what mum said,but because I was really small it was massive. My first teacher was Mrs Burlinson. She was a very nice teacher especially when it came to trying our best. My first friend I ever made was Sophie I thought I would play with her considering she has the same name as me. When it came to play time I made a lot of new friends. Everyone was so nice to me,when the bell rang everyone ran inside. I didn't know what'll the bell ment so I was standing in the middle of the field wondering where everybody went. But surprisingly I saw a teacher outside I didn't know what to do,so

The amazing me

Hi my name is Sophie, I am going to tell you about my very unique life. I am 11 years old I was born in nelson hospital the same as my dad my birthday is the 28 February 2001, we lived in nelson for 2 years dad was in the army so that ment we were getting posted to wiaouro. After a year dad got another letter saying we had to move to Christchurch and that's where the story started, because I am the only child I made a lot of imaginary friends but when I got to school I was fine. My friends are Sophie,Isabell,Breanna,Dominic and Thomas, my favourite food is subway and pork ribs, my favourite colour is PURPLE my favourite music is anything that's catchy and I play centre for netball and my nickname is s.a.m or Elmo. I go to burnham school and I am a year 8 I'm going to high school next year and most of my friends are going so that's very cool. I am very artistic I love to do as much art as possible, I do art every single day and people comment a lot, I think the most big event in my life would be last year on  march 24 2012 me and my dad just drooped of mum for a softball prize giving me and dad were hedding back home but then on the main highway a 50 year old guy had a secheasher in his car and crossed the centre line and had a head on with me and dad in our car lucky air bags and seat beasts made us survive dad had a broken sternam Which is in the chest and I just had brusing we were very lucky. I think I would want to be a dog handler when I grow up, its a job for airports when dogs such as beagles sniff out illegal dugs or anything that can't be in our country, my plan b or in my spare time would be a artist I love drawing and painting and I would like to do more. I'm looking ford to high school and I can't wait to see what's ahead :)
