Learning through my eyes

Throughout 2017 I have some things that I have  enjoyed Maths,Reading,and Inquiry.My favorite was maths because we got to study every time,fractions,devices,edition,

Take away,and telling time.It was hard to read the time because you had to count in fives until you get to the next number and there was half past and quarter past.That was hard but I still got the hang of it.My other favorite thing was sport because there was lots of different type of stuff like high jump,long jump,shot put,and sprints.It was fun doing sports and learning maths and when we do writing my teacher tells us to be quiet.I like to do writing and learning new things I like to do Inquiry too because we got to make stuff out of recycling it was awesome and my favorite thing after schools , is road patrol but I will miss this school when I go to a new one.
