Cross Country Reflection

Cross Country Reflection

1. How did your Cross Country training go?

I went extremely well because the least amount of laps I got was 3.

2.  Did you improve your lap number? Why? Why not?

Yes I improved my lap number because I pushed my self and got six as an over all lap number.

3. What value did you show on Friday at Cross Country? How?

I showed brave because I was nervous I really wanted to get to kaiapoi schools even though I got 12fth last year I
 got 7th over all this year

4. Who else did you notice showing one of our school values (they could be from another class or syndicate)?
How?

Aidan showed respect by cheering me on when I was coming down the final stretch.

Maths Knowledge/Strategy Reflection

Maths Knowledge/Strategy Reflection

What was the strategy/knowledge that you were learning?

The strategy/knowledge I used was place value adding.

How well did you use the strategy/knowledge? Give an example

I used the strategy okay because I made a mistake in the decimal places by going into
thousandths instead of adding a one to the whole number.

What challenges/ mistakes helped you with this new strategy/knowledge?

The challenge/mistake I made was when I thought the question was 180+ 50 when it was
actually 180+ 30.

This helped me because I learned that I had to look at the question
and make sure I don't make a silly mistake again.
