Reflections on 2007

Evaluation

I think I did quite good reflection I had good information about my year but I kept on moving while I was being filmed and it was quite distracting to watch.
I think when I look back at it next year it will just bring back so many memories so after all I think it was quite a good reflection.

My ESSAY evaluation

Evaluation: I think my persuasive ESSAY has a few meaningful things in it but some parts of it aren’t persuasive at all. Next time I will choose a better topic where I can come up with more ideas.

If you look down two post there is my ESSAY so you can read it.

Global Warming as a myth - excellent video

This video is extremely thought-provoking.

What you think Berts?

My persuasive writing

Why kids Should Get More Pocket Money.

Dear Mum and Dad

$5 a week its not enough I think that kids should get at least $15 a week because if we don’t we will be begging you all through the week for more money because we don’t get enough pocket money.

If we get $15 dollars a week I think that kids could save $5 a week and then have $10 dollars to spend during the week and also if you think about it if we do the ironing, the dishes, the washing, wash the car, feed the pets, and loads more its not worth $5 its at LEAST worth $10.

I get only get $5 and it is not enough and as I have said before I am always begging for money from my mum and dad to get extra things like sweets and magazines.

To make sure that you do your jobs you could keep a chart and put a sticker or a tick or something every time you do a job and say if you get over 30 stickers you get your full allowance but if you get say under 30 you don’t get your full allowance. So you make sure you don’t get your money for nothing.

If we $15 it would be better off for you because we could buy our own clothes because we would be building up money every week it would teach us the value of money and you wouldn’t get a dent in your wallet every time we ask for money.

So as I am telling you why don’t you just save the hassle and give your child more pocket money.

Bertie's speach evaluation

I think that my speach went quite well because I spoke clearly and I caught the audiances attention.
If I did this speach again I would try not to stumble practice a bit more and maybe get a better topic.

Speach evaluation

I think I talked a bit to fast and it was a bit rushed because I finished the night before I did it so next time I do it I think I should get on to it and not leave it to the last minute so I can get more time to practice.

Term 3 Speech Feedback - Why you should care what you wear.

2.36 Fantastic introduction which was different and interesting. This grabbed our attention
and gained interest. You read your speech and looked up every now and then. The
ideas in your speech were varied and interesting, especially the story about
the trip to the supermarket!
 
Next Steps:
Spend more time memorising your speech so you can connect to the audience more easily by
making eye contact, slowing down and enjoying being in front of a group of
people. Well done.

Berties Reflection

What are my learning priorities for my lerning the rest of the year?

I think Following my goals is a big one because I always set goals but I never follow them so untill the rest of the term I want to concentrate on my goals.

I also Think I need to concentrate Homework and that will be a prioritie at home that is also one of my goals which shows that I really need to concentrate on this one.

Berties S.L.C reflection

I think I did really well in my SLC because I spok clearly and I explained things well.

My Dad said it was easy setting goals but the hard part was actually acheiving them and he also liked my maths stratagys.

Letter to Bilbo

168 Clyde Road
Fendalton 8053
Christchurch
New Zealand

23.7.07

Dear Bilbo,

Hi, I am Bertie Taylor from Fendalton School and I was just wondering why did you go on the adventure when you could have just stayed in your hobbit hole with your feet in front of the fire? What did it feel like when you lost all your stuff down the river?

I just have some advice that next time you go on an adventure, if you ever do, you should go prepared and ready for anything, unlike you were when you first tried to go and see what the trolls were doing. I was just wondering if you went on this trip again what would you change. For example, you would take more food or take more clothes.

I really liked reading about you because you aren’t person you are a hobbit and it is quite interesting reading about other specious

Thank you for spending your time reading my letter.




Yours Sincerely,





Bertie

My Limerick

There once was a man called Daniel
Who would refuse to drive a manuel
One day he tried
And almost died
When he hit and squashed a spaniel
