What I have Learnt (Math)

vivaanp1_wis2 — 2024-11-11 08:55:38 UTC

In my Math Class I have learnt how to round to a significant figure and round to place values like ones, tens and hundreds.

I have also Learned how to estimate any calculations. So i can understand and answer questions more easily.

I’ve learned how to convert one metric unit to another by understanding the basic relationships between units in the metric system, like knowing that 1 meter equals 100 centimeters or 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters. By practicing these conversions, I’ve become more comfortable with changing between units, whether it’s converting from kilometers to meters, grams to kilograms, or milliliters to liters. It’s become easier to work with different measurements in everyday situations and in solving problems. I like to travel with my family and I use this metrics e.g. kilograms, miles etc. for exploring new places.

What i have Learnt (Science)

In my Science Lesson I have learned Chemical Reactions Such as Combustion, Thermal Decomposition and Oxidation.

I have learned to describe why species change over time by studying the processes of natural selection and evolution, where environmental pressures and genetic mutations cause species to adapt to their surroundings, such as how giraffes developed longer necks to reach higher branches for food. I also understand that biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, which can be measured in terms of the number of different species in a given area, as well as the genetic variation within those species, like the different color patterns found in a population of butterflies.

What I have Learnt (English)

vivaanp1_wis2 — 2024-11-11 09:06:00 UTC

In English, I’ve learned how to express my ideas more clearly and confidently, both in writing and speaking. I’ve improved my understanding of grammar and sentence structure, allowing me to construct sentences that are more precise and effective. I’ve also learned how to analyze texts, identifying themes, character development, and literary devices, which has deepened my appreciation for literature. Additionally, I’ve developed skills in writing essays and reports, where I can organize my thoughts logically and support my arguments with evidence. Creating a myth was a fun way to practice storytelling. First, I learned that myths explain things like nature or human behavior, often with Gods or heroes. I chose a theme for my myth i.e. Greek myths, like how the seasons change, and created characters that represented forces of nature. I made sure my story had a clear beginning, middle, and end, with challenges and a solution. I also used symbols, like the sun and moon, to add deeper meaning. In the end, I learned that creating a myth is not just about imagination, but also about explaining big ideas and truths.

Food Technology

In Food Technology, I learned a lot about different cooking methods and how they affect the taste, texture, and nutritional value of food. I started by exploring basic techniques like boiling, frying, and baking, and soon realized how each method works differently. For example, I learned that boiling retains most of the food’s nutrients, while frying can add flavor but also fat. Baking, on the other hand, is great for even cooking and can make food crispy or tender depending on the temperature. I also discovered more advanced methods like steaming, grilling, and roasting, each offering unique ways to cook food while preserving its natural flavors. Understanding these methods helped me see how cooking is not just about following recipes, but about choosing the right technique to get the best results. I often use these techniques at home with my family. Recently I made Apple Turnovers and Spagetti for all to enjoy. It was fun day cooking and exploring.

Computer Science

In Computer Science, I learned how to use Excel sheet formulas, which really helped me understand how to organize and analyze data more efficiently. I started with basic formulas like SUM and AVERAGE, which helped me quickly calculate totals and averages. Then, I moved on to more complex ones like IF statements, which allowed me to make decisions based on certain conditions. As I practiced, I became more comfortable combining multiple formulas to solve problems and automate tasks. Overall, learning Excel formulas made me realize how powerful spreadsheets can be for handling large amounts of data and performing calculations quickly.To improve my Excel skills, I can practice using more formulas like SUM, AVERAGE, and IF, and try using pivot tables to organize and analyze data. I’ll also work on applying these techniques to different types of tasks, which will help me get more comfortable and efficient with Excel. For now at home, I help my mom in explaining these formula on her excel sheet. Its good collaboration learning and teaching at home.

Morning Basketball

vivaanp1_wis2 — 2024-11-16 06:13:40 UTC

In school, I do morning basketball as part of my physical education routine. I start with a warm-up to stretch and loosen up, then practice basic skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting. After that, we usually play a few friendly games or practice certain drills as a group. Basketball helps me improve my fitness, coordination, and teamwork while having fun with classmates. It's a great way to start the day energized and focused. I also incorporate my new skills taught my coach in Elite Sports and utilise them practicing in my morning basketball schedule.

My wellbeing is important to me, so I focus on both my physical and mental health. I stay active by doing things like basketball, which keeps me fit and energized. I also try to eat a balanced diet with plenty of healthy foods. My morning starts with a banana smoothie. For my mental health, I make sure to take breaks and relax, whether it’s spending time with friends, reading, or just unwinding on my own. I play video games with my friends. Keeping a balance between staying active, eating well, and taking time for myself helps me feel good and stay positive. I want to now explore meditation.

What will i do to get these awards

vivaanp1_wis2 — 2024-11-17 09:50:20 UTC

To earn middle school awards, I’ll focus on doing well in my classes by staying organized, keeping up with assignments, and participating actively. I’ll also get involved in extracurricular activities like sports or clubs to develop leadership skills and contribute to the school community. Volunteering and helping others will be important, as I know awards often recognize good character and citizenship. I’ll be respectful, responsible, and consistent in my efforts, always looking for ways to improve. By staying focused and putting in the work, I’m confident I can earn recognition for my achievements.

What I read

vivaanp1_wis2 — 2024-11-17 09:53:17 UTC

In my free time, I enjoy reading books about basketball, especially ones about Kobe Bryant and other basketball stars. I find it fascinating to learn about their lives, how they worked hard to become the best, and the challenges they faced along the way. Reading about their dedication, mindset, and how they overcame obstacles motivates me to keep improving my own skills, not just in basketball but in other areas of my life as well. It reminds me that success takes hard work and perseverance. Whether it’s learning about Kobe's Mentality or reading about other players' journeys, I get inspired to stay focused and keep pushing myself to be the best version of me.

To improve my grades and reach M's level, I will create a regular study schedule, focusing more on the subjects I find hardest. I will make sure to pay attention in class, ask questions when I don’t understand something, and take part in discussions to stay involved. Outside of class, I’ll use extra resources like videos, practice exercises, and online help to reinforce my learning. I’ll also stay on top of my homework and make sure to finish assignments on time. With a positive attitude, learning from my mistakes, and staying focused, I believe I can keep improving and get better grades.
