 * This term has been amazing! Although I have not been at Avondale for a long time, I still learnt lot's of things. I have learnt heaps of things at Avondale. Furthermore I have met great friends. Some difficulties I has in my learning was maths. I had difficulties on fractions and decimals. Easy things that I have learnt at Avondale is spelling, I found history very enjoyable to learn because I like to discover things that happened in the past and present. I also like it because I love to research. In history so far I have learnt about Migration to Australia such as; Potato Famine, Rum Rebellion, Gold Rush, Highland Clearances. In drama so far I have learnt about Melodrama and and freeze frames. In english we have learnt lot'sm of things so far such as; Connectives, Adjectives, Pronouns, Adverbs, Verbs. We also learnt how to write a persuasive text. In maths so far we have learnt loads of things such as; Fractions, Decimals, working backwards, division, long division, short division, addition, subtraction, times, lattice method and loads of other stuff. In music I have learnt to play Edelweiss on the recorder and also beats. Mandarin is one of my favorite subjects, what we have learnt so far is sickness, farms, animals, words we use normally (e.g. was, he, drink) also transport. Next year I am hoping to achieve learning to play the recorder and know and memorize the notes. I also want to improve on learning my times tables and be more quicker at it. I am really looking forward to next semester, I can't wait to learn other new things. **

 * This week has been a very busy week, we have done a lot of thinking and preparing ourselves for our NAPLAN. NAPLAN is an assessment that we do in Avondale to see what we have learnt and what we can do. To me the NAPLAN was difficult, but at the end I was very proud of Year 5 because we finished it! In NAPLAN we had many different tests such as: Language conventions, Reading, Writing and Math. Some of the tests we easy and others were hard. This week in Mandarin we have been doing a little revision on what we have learnt over the past few weeks, our mandarin teacher said that there is going to be a mandarin assessment this Friday. In P.E we had our final soccer program at Dempsey Hill, it was really fun playing in the match. In English we have been looking at a new website called ReadingEggsPress, it is a very cool game to play and it also has an awesome library. This week has been amazing I am really looking forward to the Mandarin assessment. **
