** PMI Reflection Tool **
__PLUS:__ we do most of our work in it. It helps us with our learning.

__MINUS:__ when we use it it means that theres more work for us. Too much pen swapping and ruling.

__INTERESTING__: When we do our work with the teacher it is mostly in our journal but we do no work in our journal with relievers.

Parent/Caregiver comment:

Hi Toby! Mum here.....You have had a great term : ). You have achieved some awesome things, and had lots of fun doing it (which is awesome). As I look at your reflections, it reminds me of all the hard work and effort you have put in and I can see that it has paid off. Its great to see you are proud of your achievements and you have set goals for next year already. I loved your piece of wriitng about Tinky, I thought it was a very creative idea for a novel, and your writing really "pulled me in" and made me want to keep reading.....and I thought your science fair project was such a great idea.... I know it was frustrating for you, not being able to get the result you wanted, but its good to see you want to keep developing it... I hope you crack 'Gecko Grip' next year, so we can all walk around the ceilings of our home : )) Keep it up and go for gold Toby!
