Joe's Learning Conference

I think my Student Conference went really well because my Granny liked my poems and writing and liked how I presented my work to her. My opinion on how it went was very good because I wasn't as nervous as when I started the conference. The half hour went very quickly as if it was fifteen minutes. I shall try to work harder and achieve the goals I set.

Greenhouse gases

For the wonderings and discoveries the things i learnt that greenhouse gasses are really bad for the enviroment and stuff but i still don't cind of understand some of ghg( greenhouse gasses). Some other things i learnt or saw was pictures of what it would be like in the future. I never knew that the sun ray things are traped in the earths atmispheire.

Joe and Samuels Reflection

Today I learnt that we were pretty good at soccer. That we were the only ones in the A,B,C team from our class.

Reflection- fitness

Today I learned I can run a few laps without getting the stitch. Because of this learning I have improved on my running skills. The next step in my learning is to keep fit by regular running.
