Reflection on Term 1

Term 1 is over. It contained many enjoyable events such as Sports Day and Chinese New Year. I learnt many new things I have never learnt before and I also learnt my teacher's expectations for us. Being in the top tier class, the expectations are quite high. I am sure that with our teachers's help we will be able to meet those expectations.

In Maths class, I learnt things like order of operations, using a calculator and am currently learning fractions. There is one exciting new thing we have done in Math. That is our speed tests. We have to finish ten questions in ten minutes. The questions are not always easy. We have a chart and when at least three-quarter of the class have got either nine or ten, we raise two bars.

In Science, we learned about the plant and human systems. We also learnt about different types of gases. We had one lesson in which we conducted an experiment on limewater.

In English, we did a lot of things. There were many packages and booklets and In The News and journals to do. Most of the things in the practice papers that we did were the same as what we did last year. We now have to do Grammer and Vocabulary exercises in the book.

Mother Tongue is pretty much the same.

My most favourite events were Sports Day and my birthday. On the whole, I enjoyed myself very much in Term 1.

The Pied Piper of Hamelin Part 1

For two weeks, we have been doing the Pied Piper of Hamelin for English literature.It was written by Robert Browning. We were given the poem and told to read it. We then watched a few vidoes on the story and poem on Youtube. It was quite fun. There was one video of man called Ron Reagan who recited the poem along with some facial expressions.
The next day, we had to find the meanings of twenty words we did not know. Some of the words I chose were: drysaltery, noddy and consternation.
Then we had to summarize the stanzas in groups. My group did stanzas 1,2 and 3. We copied the summary on pieces of jigsaw paper.
I enjoyed doing the Pied Piper. I hope to do more things like this.
