My Goals

My goal for reading was to increase my reading age to 12.5. I have achieved my goal and now want to increase it by another year. To do this I will need to read more, have more confidence in myself and concentrate more while reading.
To improve my writing I need to write more (add more detail) and make sure I put in 100% while I am writing.
My goal for mathematics was to consistently score 100% during basic facts. I have nearly reached this however I continue to make silly mistakes meaning I score 99%. I need to make sure I check my answers and not make silly mistakes while taking the test.

P.E Assesment

A good attacker is when people will find space to get the ball and they all play as a team and should score some amazing fantastic points.
A good defender is some one that stop the other team from scoring defenders also have to find space to close down space for the other team so its hard to pass the ball around.
I think that I improved on my defending a bit more and by the end of the session I was allot more competitive.
the class got allot better at passing the ball at the end of the unit and also think that it wasn't just me who got a bit more competitive.
I think that my attacking could use some work and the class I'm not sure.

Earth and Moon

What Processes Change The Earth Surface?

The earth is different from the moon because we have a atmosphere witch gives us weather witch can change the earth surface,Water changes the earths surface by carving the land off and it could flood, Ice is another source of water like if it froze in a valley it would expand and push the sides of the walls and change the landforms.Wind is the third one the wind can blow the water up on to land blows the sand around witch changes the landforms.
