"If the teacher used more realistic scenarios it would make my math lessons a lot more interesting."

Computer Kid Week 3 Term 1 

This week I had Art, Geography, Sport, Latin, Math, English, Science, Textiles, PD.H.PE.

My favourite subject this week was Art. In Art we are learning about dragons so we can make a ceramic one, so this week we have been watching Dragon Heart the movie. My Art teacher is my favourite this week because he has let us watch a movie as part of our learning this week.

Some people might say that watching a movie isn’t good for study but in this case it is because we can see what the dragons look like so that we can make our own. I love that we learnt about dragons and got to watch a movie in class.

The worst subject that I had this week was Math. Once again it came down to the un-realistic scenarios. If the teacher used more realistic scenarios it would make me like my math lessons a lot more interesting. 

I understand that the teacher is just trying to teach us math and I want to learn, but if the scenarios are too un-realistic then I feel as if the information is useless but if we worked with scenarios that can acutely happen I would be a lot more enthusiastic to learn

In sport this week we have been doing skipping. I really think that if sport must be a compulsory subject it should involve something that the majority of students enjoy doing. I know that there will always be a few students that just refuse to be satisfied but we need to do sport that is fun for the majority of us, which skipping has not been!
