Term+3+Goals

=__//Term 3 Reflections//__=

__//4/09/09//__ This week when I delivered my speech, I had to keep looking at my q-cards at the end because I did not no the ending of my speech too well. I'm going to improve this by reading over my speech each night and memorizing my speech so I only need my q-cards for a reminder.

//__10/09/09__// During the past week I have been learning allot about the astonishing human mind and all its wonder. Interesting facts such as
 * How you can change your personality by developing the frontal lobe (the part of your brain that acts as a control for the part of your brain that holds emotion and anger.) so that it's strong enough to control your short temper or anger out burst.
 * How toddlers can't control their tantrums and out burst of anger or tears.
 * How you can change your mood by listing to upbeat music and watching funny or happy movies. It generally makes you feel happier.
 * By visualizing something over and over in your head it makes that pathway stronger therefor you can complete that task easier.

I've also learn how to cook scalloped potatoes and successfully cooked my own scalloped potatoes that tasted delightful. But next time I will add more cheese to add more flavor to my product. I have learnt that Roald Dahl's worst subject in school was writing. Also that a pattern never ends. This week I have achieved making it into speech finals.

My goals for next week are:
 * To finish reading my Roald Dahl book.
 * To start writing my book review.
 * To focus on learning about patterns in maths.
 * To learn more about our astonishing brains.

__//18/09/09//__ This week I shared my speech with the entire school at speech finals. I didn't get a placing, but I felt I tried my best and worked hard to deliver my speech to the best of my ability. It was a great experience and enjoyed listening to other peoples imaginative speeches and discovered different ways I could have delivered my speech. It was hard competition, but I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'm getting better at algebra and have begun to understand the different pattern's and word problems. I have learned how to work out the next member, or missing members in algebra by working out the rule to discover the following or missing members. For example:

3,6,9,_.. The missing term is 12. To get to the next member add three to the previous number.

I would like to be able to have my book review completely finished by next week. I know that I need to keep working on my algebra skills. I'm aiming to learn my National Jump Jam team routine of by heart by next week.
