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 Latin. He is very funny, which makes classes engaging, and Latin a subject that students look forward. When I look forward to a subject and enjoy learning it makes me want to try my best and achieve good results.

Next semester I am hoping to achieve the same, if not better results. I hope to improve in math, because even though I don’t enjoy learning math, I know that it is an important skill to have and that I need to do well in it.

 If I don’t achieve better results in the majority of my subjects next semester this will show me that I will need to work harder next year to make sure I am achieving the results I want to achieve at school.
