Specialists

Specialist Term 1 Reflection When we’re not in the classroom we have specialists, probably one of the fun parts of the school.

This year we have 6 Specialists, Sport with Mr. Kemperman, Art with Mr. Bell, French with Miss Turner, Science with Mr. Lardner, Library with Miss Cole and Music with Miss Wagstaff. (This is Miss Wagstaff last term because Miss Hambly is coming back to teach)

I’ll start off with French. My strengths in French are that I can speak French with a good accent, and I can find the similarities between words in French. My weaknesses in French are spelling in French mainly because the sounds are different. Something that I have discovered about the culture is that there is a place in France called Alsace that has German and French people and the mix food and language.

Next Science. My strengths in Science are that I am good at recognising forces and the amount of friction it gives. My weaknesses in Science are labelling the brain. Here is some proof.  Moving on to Sport. Yes it is true mostly everyone likes sport. My strengths in sport are I’m a good dodger, I can catch and throw well and I can hit the ball a long, long way with a cricket bat or a baseball bat. My weakness in sport is that I am really a really slow runner and that I don’t have good stamina. This is me in Cross Country Last Year.  Now on to Library. I don’t really have any strengths and/or weaknesses because we read most of the time, but I know that I am good at comprehension because I got 953 marks on the Lexile Test. For Library we have to read 25 books for a semester as homework. I really like reading books and I enjoy the Library time to read.

After Library, moving on to Art, sometimes in Art I’m not really the best at drawing but I think of some crazy things. This year in Art with have done Pencil drawing with lines and Ink.

I really, really like Music because it’s how people express themselves with song. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">I play the Piano as a main instrument. Also at school I play the Clarinet. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Recently we had a project where we had to make our own instrument. I made a Cling-Wrap Bongo.

This term in Library, our Librarian has been Miss Cole. Our major project was making a book trailer. Mostly for Library we have been doing reading and trying to complete the 25 book list, where you have to read 25 books for the semester.

This term in Music we have Mrs. Hambly back. For music we did composing music and at the moment we are doing a Keyboard assignment about any keyboard in the keyboard family. I picked the Grand Piano because I play the Grand Piano.

This term in French we have Miss Turner as our teacher. We have been learning new comprehension, French food, the French Revolution and finding out about who stole the Mona Lisa. The Who Stole the Mona Lisa? Part of French was really fun because it felt like you were a real detective trying tocrack a case. <span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">

In P.E we have Mr. Kemperman as our teacher. This term we have always started with a warm up and then done something really fun like play a Touch Footy game or play Dodge ball.

I really like specialists because you can take your mind offjust Maths and English and learn some new for a change.
