End Of Year Reflection

This year I was in the class Tangaroa. Tangaroa is the senior class at Rawhiti School.

Here are some highlights from the year. First is winter sport, this year I played netball, it was my first time playing the sport but I think I did pretty well. My second highlight was the year seven camp, we went to Camp Kakariki and it was very fun, we played lots of different games and most of them were fun.

When I came to Tangaroa, I was curious to see what I was going to be doing because from what I had heard, it was very different from the other classes.

My goals for next year are to improve my focus so I can get my work done faster and understand the work better, get better in all areas of maths so I can get a higher score in the ICAS tests and I want to improve my stamina and speed for athletics day. I can’t think of any other goals at the moment, but by the time I start next year I will have a lot more goals.

When I leave school I want to be an astronomer so I can learn more about space.

  4. You move your other arm forward until the two arms meet.
  5. You move your bottom arm back to its extended position with the palm facing down.
  6. You sweep your other arm backwards until it is in its original position.
  7. After all that you glide for a bit before repeating the cycle.
