Evaluation 

What went wrong?

What went wrong for me was I freaked out before I did the experiment and that might have made me freak out and hold the fire for a bit to long.

All About Me!

Bonjour my name is Heaven. I am a year 7 at Hornby High School. My amazing teachers name is Whaea Raewyn. I enjoy swimming, reading and playing my ukulele. I started learning ukulele in year 4 at my old school and I have been playing since. When I was at my old school I enjoyed playing netball for winter sport. But… I wasn't very good at netball. My favorite animals are Horses, Ponies and Cheetahs.I enjoy learning french at home although i'm not that good. I enjoy doing science and writing made up stories. I sometimes learn best when I am with my friends and I can talk to them if i need help.But other times I learn best by myself  when it is quite. My main learning goal is to give everything I do 110%.  Some of my other learning goals are to know all my time tables and division.

This piece of writing has been all about me hope you enjoyed. Thanks for visiting my blog.
