"We had a double theory lesson reading on Ipads, it was really boring"

Sport Kid Week 2 Term 1

This week I had Visual Arts, English, Maths, History, PD.H.PE, Science, Mechanics and Music.

My favourite subject this week was Music and my favourite teacher was my Music teacher. I really enjoyed music because it was a hands-on practical lesson where we got to learn a new song called “Frere Jacques” on the piano. I enjoy learning with my Music teacher because he has a different way of teaching than other teachers. He is really chill and relaxed in class.


The subject that didn’t enjoy this week was Mechanics. We had a double Mechanics lesson and we read theory on iPads for both lessons. It was really boring. The lesson could have been a lot more interesting if we could have had a change of activity in the second lesson and been able to do some practical work.

Computer Kid reflects on semester one... it's the "fun" in class that makes the difference

Computer Kid reflects on Semester One in Year 8 I am really pleased with my results from Semester One this year. The subjects that I enjoyed the most were Latin, Science and English. I enjoyed them the most because: All of the teachers for those subjects were very engaging and made learning fun The subject content is interesting to me The teachers make sure that everyone is up to date with what we are learning, so if anybody in the class doesn’t understanding the material, the teachers help them to make sure that they catch up and understand.  I am proudest of my Latin results for last semester. In Latin I got a Meritorious (deserving reward or praise) Achievement, which means that I got very high, consistent marks for the subject. I got top marks for Latin, which means I was in the top bar A and also outstanding achievement for the entire semester.  I think that I was able to achieve these results because of the way the Latin teacher teaches ...

"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 ...

"My favourite teacher is my Music teacher because I feel like he cares about me"

Sport Kid Week 3 Term 1  This week I had English, Maths, Chinese, History, Science, Mechanics and Music. My favourite subject this week was Music, the same as last week. This week we learnt another song, it was a really old wedding dong and I got a merit award from the Music teacher for learning it so well. My Music teacher was my favourite teacher again this week because he is always calm with the class. He is also really nice and makes me feel like he cares about me, he always asks me how I am, how I am doing and what I am doing on the weekend. He chats with me and I have found out that he plays netball. The worst subject this week was science because the lesson was all theory, we read out of a textbook and copied down what we were reading into our exercise books, it was really boring. On the plus side the teacher didn’t yell at this week. My teachers were good this week, none of them yelled at me or the whole class and I felt like I learnt a lot this week....
