October Reflection

 Last week we did our October Reflection. You may of seen my other monthly reflections and probably wondering why we do them.We do them because its like a checkup each month to see what we're learning about. Next time I would change my school Athletics because it quite short and not very interesting. What's your favourite activity?

Come down Golden Reading task

For the past 3 days we have been reading about this book called Come Down Golden and this week we are learning to infer which means to read between the lines and try to figure out what the author is hinting at or giving clues for. Next time I would change some of the questions. I found it tricky to hypothesize. I enjoyed reading the blurb on the back of the book.    

My Speech

For the past 2 weeks we have been working on our speeches. We were learning to speak clearly with expression to engage interest. I found it tricky to make sure the listener was hooked. Next time I would choose a different topic. Click here! to listen to my speech.
