Term 1 & 2 Reflection

My personal highlights were the results in my maths tasks throughout the weeks, I enjoyed learning new maths equations and ways to solve them.

The thing I am most proud of are my choices during class, I feel things are more important now since I'm a year 8 and that choices are more important as I transfer to highschool.

My goals for next term are to try improve my times in maths. For writing I want to work on descriptive writing and hooking the reader into what im trying to explain, but my main goal for next term is to try different things.

Thelma Eakans visiting us.

The author of this book Thelma Eakans came in a visited us to talk about the book. She brought in a lamp that they should have used because they used lamps without glass around the flame covering it and they had open flame which caused the explosion because the gas in the mine was methane and methane is highly flammable.

She also brought in a led man that her friend made and gave to her. It was very heavy and it was a replica of the monument at the brunner mine historical site.

We have recently started ready The Mines Afire as a class book and we are now doing comprehension questions. We had to think about the things that we would miss if we lived in 1896.

Reflection W8T1.

Coal Mining Disasters - Q/A


For this task it was individual and we had too search up how Denniston Coal Mines got popular or how many people died or something like that. I liked the font I chose. I think its a nice touch

Q/A Mining Disasters


This is a task where we had to work with 3-4 people and do some Qs and As and some random coal mining disaster animations. I loved that we got to collaborate with other people.

Thanks for looking at my post for the week!! (I Used Google Slide To Do These Tasks)
