This week I have been working with a group of students and teachers on the topic of performance. Jess didn’t want us to start right away because she said that is important that we get to know each other in the project because we would be working with each other for a while. So Jess got us into a circle and when we had the ball we would say our favorite food. I was open to the game because I am ok with talking in big groups. When the game finished we discussed what roles we should have in our performance, jess also got us to think about what kind of theme, topic or message we want in our performance.  I found this very difficult because I couldn’t explain my ideas that I had in my head. This resulted in myself not sharing my thoughts/ideas, but agreeing to others ideas.

I set myself a goal for the next workshop and that was to speak more in the workshop, give feedback and share my ideas.

This term and the end of term three I was put in a new maths group. When I was first in the group I found it a bit difficult. I had found it difficult because the only time that I would do maths would be in that maths workshop, over the last two weeks of term 3 I started really realising how difficult it would be. I would learn how to do maths equations and completely forget it.

So this term I started putting maths buddy practice and maths games into my planner so that I can recap on things that I need to get up to speed on and daily learn/practice maths goals and things that I learn in my maths workshops. I feel that this has definitely worked for me because in my maths workshops I am way more speedy to answer questions and things for earlier workshops. Also I am finishing my follow up that better quality and to the best of my ability.

Practicing my math daily has also made me so much better at my time’s table’s and this means a lot to me because last year and this year i have really struggled with nearly all of my time tables.
