Grade 7 Experience Week

by 084502 on May 15, 2013

Guess where I was last week? Beijing!

We (grade 7) all went away last week on a trip to Chiang Mai (thailand) or Beijing (where I went) and it was quite fun. Throughout the week we did a variety of different activities all around the city and even out of it. A notable thing we did was probably hiking on the great wall, camping and visiting place like the forbidden city and the temple of heaven. I got to use my chinese language skills quite a lot on this trip so I think it was useful for me. Also I met a lot of new people and made new friends which is nice. A lot of the people on the trip, I didn’t know very well and now I feel a lot closer to the other small group of students that went. It was really fun to get to know new people in the grade.

Two attributes I think I showed on this trip are principled and balanced. I think I was principled because during the trip we had quite a lot of free time and we had to keep mature in public places. I feel as if I handled this quite well and that’s why I felt I did a good job. Also balanced as I feel I showed a range of skills during the trip. We not only looked at sights, walked around and learnt but I think I did pretty well at hiking and the other outdoors-y activities which makes me think I was rather balanced.
Here is a few pictures of our trip taken by moi:

Our science court case is now over! The case was the people against KMT (kinetic molecular theory). We had to research whether or not the theory worked and how we could prove/disprove KMT. I was on the side of prosecution and we ended up winning the case! This was surprising for me as I know [...]

Fractions & Decimals

April 22, 2013

Another unit finished, another iFolio post. Our last math unit was about fractions and decimals. On the stress and learning level chart, I would say I’m about a 3, so neutral and a bit concerned. This is because, though I wasn’t overly worried about the work, I still was just a little bit. I wanted [...]
