Reflection on Term Three
- I’m proud of my reading because my reading teacher said I am getting more fluent.
- I’m proud of my P.E because now I look for space when we go out to do P.E.
- I’m proud of my writing because I have been writing whole pages and last term I didn’t even write half a page.
- I should improve in listening on and off the mat.
- I need to get better at sitting on the mat quietly.
I need to improve in my maths because I can’t do fractions.

Goals
To improve my writing I need to take more time when writing, work harder during writing groups and edit my work when finished.
My goal for mathematics is to increase my basic facts score. I have increased by 11 so far this year however I want to increase it more and be more consistent with my scores. To do this I will need to complete basic facts sheets at home and get parents to give me random quizzes.
