Week 6 - Reflection

Week 6 - Reflection

Some work I am proud of… (add evidence and a brief explanation) I am proud of completing my passion project because we made Nachos and they tasted really nice

Something that has challenged me this week is… (explain why) Completing my reading hop Scotch because I kept getting distracted

A school value that I have worked hard at achieving this week is… (add evidence and a brief explanation) Connect and a little bit of be brave because I have been talking to people I normally never do.

A school value that I need to work on is… (explain why) Respect because I have been talking on the mat.

This fortnights Tōtara goal was Time Management and I achieved/showed this by being at the right place at the right time and completing my work so I don't need to do lunch time catchup.

What is my personal goal for next week? Show more respect because I didn't really show much this week. To listen when the teachers are talking.
