What Did You Expect?

I expected to be at the standard on almost everything. Although I wouldn't have been surprised if I got just below for my science and maths because I know that those are a few of my weaker subjects.

What Didn't You Expect?

I didn't expect to have gotten a such a high mark for my big projects, in fact it kind of surprised me when I saw it.

Describe or Explain your grader that were Adaptive, Below or Proficient.

So for my Maths and PE class (Murder) I got Above in PE (5D) and for my Algebra I got At (4P). For My Visual Art and English class (Juxtaposed) I got At for everything (4P). For my Technology and Social Science class (WOTPOINT) I got At for everything again (4P). For Science (Volcano) I got At again (4P). For Spanish I got a 3P. It sounds kind of low but it is actually quite high for a subject that you haven't been doing since you first started school. Also for languages there isn't really a curriculum because it is optional, so it doesn't have a below, at or above. Finally for my big project I got a 5P which is the level that I have to be at for the end of year 10 which is really awesome considering I am only half way through year 9.

Feathers

The ideas that I thought were helpful with our 'cloak' were:
1. Spread compliments like butter
2. Ask if they are ok
3. Tell the bully to stope with a group of people to back you up.

I'd say that the first one on a scale of 1-5 was probably a 4, the second was probably a 3 and the third was more of a 4. I think that to make the first one a five would maybe to give examples of things to say to the people. Maybe with the second we could add onto it a bit more like rather than just asking them if they are ok maybe give them advice as well if they need it. For the third again give examples of what to say to the bully because most people wouldn't know what to say to them other wise they would have said it already.

Action Plan Summery

So far my action plan is going well. I have tried out a couple of the strategies that I had and they are really good. Some of the things I am working on are: raising my hand in class more often, asking people for help that I don't usually and speeking up more. After 2 days of our 21 day commitment I have used quite a few of them and everything is going well.

My Goals

My goal for this term is to be more confident in talking to people and meeting new people. The reason I chose this goal is because being at this new school and not knowing as many people as I did at the primary I think that I need to be more confident so that I'm not so scared of talking to people and not just keeping to the people that I know. I'd like to be able to make conversation with people that I don't know and and try to make friends with people that I didn't know before and expand my small circle of friends.

Herman's Brain

Hermans Brain is a game on the different parts of your brain. There are four different parts of the brain that equal to four different colours ( In the game ). What we did was we put all of the cards on the tables and we had to pick five that we thought were the most like us, regardless to what colour they were. In the end we had to pick three out of those five and the three cards that I ended up with were, helpful, planner and musical. We also had to swap during the game with someone else that we thought something that was more us than maybe one of our other cards. I found it quite easy to swap because one of my friends had exactly what I needed I had what she needed so we just switched. I thought that was probably the easiest part of the hermans brain game. I found that I was probably more inclined to pick the green coloured one because that one was the more emotional part of your brain and I think I am more empathetic and emotional than I am anything else.
