Nicholas' Learning

I have done a check of my CARE progress so far this year. I am proud of my progress because.......... I have just gotten my BRONZE and I'm going for my SILVER now. How far away are you from reaching your SILVER ? I am pretty far away from getting it. The area of CARE that I need to try harder in C / A / R / E.......... is COMMUNITY because that was the last area I needed to fill in to get my BRONZE in term 2. To achieve my SILVER award quicker I need to………. focus on COMMUNITY but still try to get ACTIVE THINKING , RESPECT , EXCELLENCE The one thing that I can do to improve my progress in CARE is........ be a caring friend and keep my hands to myself. We will review CARE progress again at the end of the term.

For reading I have been learning about adverbial clauses. I have found this learning quite challenging but later really easy because I didn't know what they were and the way it was explained in some videos and websites got me more confused of what they were. In this activity , I had to find out what adverbial clauses and connectives were. Then I had to give them an example of it.

WALT: I can describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place Over the past 7 weeks I have been learning to describe the characteristics of music from songs of a different time and place I can describe these characteristics in a piece of music - Melody, A bunch of notes that are played repetitively, (bits that get stuck in your head) - Harmony, A bunch of notes played together that play a sound - Rhythm, Repeated sounds that change pace and volume throughout the song, - Timbre, What makes the song unique - Form, How the song is put together Here is an example of my learning

WALT: Combine simple proportions to work out what parts the whole is made up in a unit We learnt how to calculate percentage increase and decrease. If you want to calculate percentage increase, you have to find the percentage difference between the two numbers you are comparing and divide the difference by the original number and then times it by 100 and convert that decimal into a percentage. For example: What is the percent of decrease of 16 to 14? The way you would solve this is find the difference between the original number and the new one. 16 - 14 = 2. Divide 2 by 16 which equals 0.125. Multiply that by 100 and it equals 12.5%, So its a 12.5% decrease. WALT: Combine proportions to work out what parts are whole is made up of using non multiples of 10. We learnt how to calculate how much the percentage increased or decreased in number. The way I did this was I found the percentage and if it was an increase: added it onto the 100, and if it was a decrease: subtra...

In the middle block just before maths, we usually have a problem solving session. If you're in CantaMaths instead of doing problem solving you do some training. We have a survey with some very hard questions like  What is the sum of all the whole number factors of 64? Some questions really confused me. I ended up getting a 14/20 questions but the first time I did it I got 7/20 because the answers have to be EXACT.  The leadership quality I think I used resilient because I didn't know much of the answers to the questions
