End Of Term Review

1. A highlight from Term 2
The cross country, I think I did quite well and I got a better placing then I did last year. I was really nervous before the race and I didn't think that I would do very well, but to my surprise I came 17th out of about 400 year 8 girls and I am really proud of myself. I set a goal to beat last year's place and to come under 100. I achieved both of my goals and this is why cross country was a highlight for me.

2. A lowlight from Term 2
When we lost privileges for our laptops. This was a lowlight because we lost the privilege of having personal things on our laptops. I felt quite sad when this happened but I'm sure that Rimu will be able to earn our privileges back if we try really hard. This lowlight was a wake up call to the whole house ad has taught me to never forget that our laptops are a learning tool, not a toy.

3. An achievement
I earned a bronze medal in science fair which I am really happy about. I really improved from last year as I didn't receive anything. This year I chose a better topic which was really enjoyable and interesting. I think that I did really well this year and I am quite proud of my achievements. My science fair this year was really challenging but I feel that the hard work really paid off.

4. Circle Times
The circle times this term have really taught me a lot more about each person in our class. I've learnt alot about each different personality in the class. It's really good hearing what each people have to say about various topics that come up at circle time. I personally really enjoy circle time and getting to share my thoughts with the class. In my opinion I think that people feel really safe when sharing with the class and even the shy people really open themselves up.

5. Click Cards
I have really liked this click card system that has started up in our school. I have just recently earned my first band and I see alot more people around the school have too. The click cards have been enforcing positive behaviour in the classroom which I think is needed to make an enjoyable class. I think that the click cards is a really good idea. I hope I get the STARS badge at the end of the year!
