My reflection of this year

This year has been awesome. Over the past three and a half terms I have achieved and participated in so many different things! I completed my IE and presented it, I participated in Cross county - which froze me to death. We have also started our GE investigations, which I am really enjoying. We are investigating on the health side of global warming, so what it does to our health - and how our health will deteriorate during global warming. I have almost finished my Language milestone and I am really enjoying learning Spanish, I think that learning a different language is such a great thing to learn. Because what if one day I go to Spain, I will know how to get to places.

Here are some things I enjoyed this year. IE, GE, Cross Country, Swimming Sports, NYLD, House team challenges, book bash, milestones, volleyball, art - murals, jandals, native birds. I have also enjoyed all of the learning I have done too!

Leadership is a huge part of being in Marama. This year I have really enjoyed being a part of the Ambassador team and a house leader. I knew at the start of the year that taking on these roles would be a big job. Being the leader of Orewa with Edell has been great fun! I have enjoyed leading Orewa in Kapa haka. But I didn’t get the chance to lead Orewa in athletics. I really like being on the school ambassador team because I get to walk around the school and talk about all of the different learning in the different learning areas. I also like meeting and greeting the people that come to our school! My leadership goal for next year is to be the leader of the ambassador team and still be a house leader!

Now I shall talk about tech. TECH IS SO MUCH FUN! I really enjoyed making stuff for the garage sale. My group made tin can animals. Out of recycled tin cans, nuts and bolts, wire and some spray paint. I made a little pink cat and two dogs. The thing that I loved most about that was how we made over three hundred dollars all together, and we can choose what we spend that money on to leave a legacy. My idea was to spend it on putting some big trees and flowers in the Mapson Maze. Now I am in the FOOD tech group. In food, we are learning how to make gingerbread houses. In the first week we learnt how to make the gingerbread, in the second week, we learnt how to make royal icing and now this week we are making a little gingerbread house. I am partners with Emma. I have really enjoyed tech this year.

I have enjoyed being in the Marama team this year. I Have achieved lots of my literacy and maths goals and I have put lots of effort into all of the tasks that I have done. I hope next year is as good as this year has been. Thank you for such a great year of learning and fun.
