My Weekly Learning Reflection

My First Weekly Learning Reflection 2015

This Week In:

Maths I have

Revised how to use powers, and what primes, factors, prime factors, HCF and LCM are. 

Primes- Can only be divided by themselves and one (e.g. 2 3 5 11 23...)

Factors- Are the numbers that multiply to make a certain number (e.g. factors of 24= 1, 24, 2, 12, 3, 8, 4, 6)

Prime Factors- Are the factors of a number that are also primes.

HCF- Highest Common Factor (e.g. HCF for 18, 21 is 7)

LCM- Lowest (or Least) Common Multiple (e.g. LCM of 6 and 4 is 12)

In PAT Maths I scored a stanine 9 (with two incorrect answers)

We didn't do Reading this week except for Reading PAT today where I scored stanine 9 (one answer wrong)

We also had a maths IKAN where I made silly mistakes

First Time As A Year 8. HAPPY 2015!!!!!

Hey Guys!!! Welcome to 2015!!!
Sorry I haven't been on for a while. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

So this year I will be a Year 8 and I have big aspirations for this year. 
I am continuing with Band and Jazz band and have auditioned for Choir.
I will be auditioning Rock Band on Thursday and I have applied for House Captain and Class Councillor. I am planning on joining Jump Jam and would like to join Extension Science. I know, what a nerd. :) Yeah, I know I am. Oh and I play piano. Grade 5 exams this year. 

SORRY! I missed some information from Dec last year. I auditioned for Talent Quest last year and got in, and ended up with 2nd place equal overall. My remix of Mary Had A Little Lamb was well liked. I was presented as playing Mary Had A Little Lamb on the piano on stage, and everyone was saying, "No way, she won't be playing Mary Had A Little Lamb at a Talent Show," 

Boy where they flabbergasted when I began.

I started with Mary Had A Little Lamb then went on to
Oh When The Saints Go Marching In
Say Something 
All Of Me 
Skyscraper
Moonlight Sonata
Zur Sonnenuntergangstunde 
Payphone
Fur Elise

My Diary,I mean Journal

Hey Guys, 
I have just finished writing my book called "My Diary Journal" and here is a little -sneak peek- of the first page.

Hi, I’m Sam.

Here are a few things you should know about me,

I’m a 13 year old boy,

I LOVE ice cream and I DESPISE my 16 year old annoying sister, Michelle,

I have never had a girlfriend and probably never will,

And I’m not exactly the kind of person that comes to your mind when you think of ‘popular’.

Well, actually, I’m not anywhere near the kind of person that comes to your mind when you think of popular.

Ok, now that we have that out of the way, you must promise me, that what I tell you, stays between us. Got it? Good.

Romance

Romance

Romance is very old fashioned. He loves writing poems and never types emails, all the notes he sends to people are handwritten. All the letters he sends are in a light beige coloured envelope with a rose stamp, and his script is impeccable.

Romance loves his family with all his heart. His Mum, Love, and his Dad, Passion have always taught him that when life gives you lemons, you smile and offer it some homemade lemonade with three cubes of ice, a straw and a little floral paper umbrella. His sister, Friendly, also taught him many things but the most important lesson he has learned from her is that if you be nice to everyone around you, the world will reward you.

Romance loves art, drama and music and he is flawless at playing the piano and guitar. Unlike his best friend Charm (who adores pop music and whatever song is trendy at the time) he likes playing and listening to classical music and he idolises Beethoven and Mozart. He speaks very formally and has a very wide range of vocabulary.

Some of Romance’s favourite things are flowers, vanilla and rose scented candles, nature, restaurants and most of all, writing. Although Romance doesn’t hate anything, there are a few things that his dislikes, like bullies, when people are mistreated, Hate, the harshest, meanest kid in school and Disrespect, the kid at his school who laughs when his elders fall over, or when the cute animal dies in that movie.

You can always catch Romance wearing a nice ironed tie or bow tie. He even has a special drawer full of nicely organised ties. Romance also made his own cologne that smells like heaven and drives the women crazy.

Something else that makes Romance stand out in the crowd is that me is forever holding his favourite

diary, which has roses on the cover, where he writes poems about love and nature.

Romance is a complete gentleman and has never believed in the “Girls have cooties” stuff back in Primary school, in fact, all of his friends are girls.

Romance is the impeccable ruby rose, without any thorns.   

Perfection

Perfection

   He walks the hallways like they’re his own,

Although he his humble personality never lets him see it.

His brown slightly shaggy hair playfully sways in the light breeze.

His light summer tan makes him seem almost glistening.

His tall, thin figure shows off his tan muscles.

His skilled fingers glide up and down his grand piano flawlessly,

As his eyes glitter with euphoria.

He loves art and has impeccable script,

Which is helpful considering writing is his favourite subject.

His humour can make even the strictest and mature people laugh,

While his personality can lighten the darkest emotions.   

His smile is flawless,

It is enough to make any girl swoon.

His laughter is as beautiful as the birds,

Singing cheerfully in the morning.

His eyes are as glimmery,

As the morning dew,

Reflecting the rising sun.

He is perfect.

Perfection is like a warm sunny day,

After a month on snow,

Or the shower of rain in a desert,

Awakening the hibernating flowers.

Perfection,

Is the rainbow,

After the hurricane.

Lazy

Lazy

Lazy is one of the more disliked students at his school. He hates physical education, doesn’t help anyone, doesn’t work hard at anything and is always late. Lazy always has a rip somewhere on his school shorts, permanent stains on his previously white uniform top and has messy, unkempt hair. Unfortunately for everybody who was around Lazy, he has a major problem with B.O since he forgets to shower most days, never puts dirty clothes in the laundry and can’t be bothered brushing his teeth in the mornings.

Lazy doesn’t like exercise, but he does love food, so he is very unhealthy and unfit. Lazy’s favourite hobby is watching T.V and sitting on the couch eating takeaways.

Lazy has very, VERY messy handwriting and a limited vocabulary list. He loathes mathematics and only likes school for it’s recess and tuck shop. During recess he sits with his best friend Clumsy and complains about teachers and P.E while Clumsy complains about how dangerous is the thing that he stepped on today (every day there is a new story).

Lazy’s mum, Messy, and his Dad, Dirty get along very well., but their house is a mess and smells like a public bathroom. All of their house is coated with mould and dirt, all, that is, except for Lazy’s sister’s room. Lazy’s sister, Tidy, is the only one in the house who has an impeccably clean bedroom and who’s ensuite smells like lavender. Tidy hates what her parent’s house looks like, but she adores her parents and secretly when they go out for takeaways, she cleans as much of the house as she can and makes herself a salad, that is organised by colour of course.

Lazy loves the words never, and give up, unaccomplished, or failure, for he hears these words all the time.

Lazy is the job, that you can never finish.

Blue

Blue

Blue is a strong feeling,

like depression,

loneliness,

desolation,

Blue is the water,

the same water that you waste daily,

the same water others can’t afford,

the same water others never have enough of,

Blue is the ocean,

the lake,

the river,

that is home for undiscovered creatures,

skimming the sand,

in the unknown depths below the glistening blue surface,

Blue is coldness,

discreet winter wonder,

Blue is smooth,

cold,

like ice beneath your fingertips,

Blue,

is cold,

desolate,

mysterious.
