Mengchun's Reflects on Term 1

The thing I enjoyed most about term 1 is art and maths, because it was really easy.  I learnt how to ask people how are you in Maori. It was tricky reading with my buddy in Room 4, because she wouldn't talk.  My favourite thing was going to food tech, because we get to eat all the food we made.  I'd like to improve the way we did maths because some groups didn't get much time with the teacher. I'm looking forward to learning Japanese next term.
