When studying WW2 I feel my greatest achievement was when I was able to produce my own gas mask using my new knowledge from WW2 and also using my maths skills to help me too.
In maths I have learned my 2,3,4,5, and 10 times table. This has allowed me to work on more challenging maths. I can now multiply and divide with confidence. I have worked on skills to tell the time at home and in the community. I am proud of this achievement.
In maths I am not very confident with my work I always worry if I have got any wrong but have learnt I always learn better by my mistakes. I don’t like maths as much as I like other subjects but I like some areas of maths. In maths I like data handling and long multiplication. We have done a wee bit on algebra and I really enjoyed it but I know that it is a challenge and I am going to have to work really hard to get better skills at it. In maths I do like a bit of a challenge but not too much. Before maths we usually do problem solving which I love. I love trying to figure out the problem even if it takes a lot of thinking. I am always up for it. I am getting really good at it now because I use the five steps to problem solving which is read and think about it, choose a strategy, experiment, check it, record it.
I enjoy literacy and English and think it is very entertaining. I love story writing and working in our writing jotters. I believe I have a very imaginative mind and think of good stories. I use Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, and Punctuation much better this year to improve my skills in writing and I have become more confident to show my peers and to read my writing out in class. I also enjoy writing cold pieces to see how I have improved.
