S3+Profile

I feel that I am mostly a kinaesthetic learner. Whatever the subject is I like getting involved and doing practical things. I like working in groups, especially if I need to do a presentation because then I can share the embarrassment of standing up and talking to the class with the rest of my group. I am a hard worker but I find organisation quite difficult. I need to use my diary more often. I think that I am mostly a right-brain thinker. I feel that I am imaginative and I enjoy art and writing stories. I am not really very good at sport but I enjoy taking part and I like that it keeps me fit. ||  || I have helped my dog earn her Good Citizen award at puppy training. I am really proud of this as she is very excitable and training her has been quite hard but now she comes when she is called and sits and gives a paw when she is asked. I earned my Heart Start certificate last year which means that I can help save people's lives if they are choking, bleeding, having a heart attack or are a conscious or unconscious casualty. Sometimes I practice putting my brother in the recovery position to check that I have remembered how to do it. ||  Roderick Random  ||  Skills I have become more confident and willing to get involved in discussions this year. I feel that I am more able to recognise my own strengths such as being good at writing stories and drawing - especially drawing anime cartoons.

 * || My Learner Statement
 * Achievements I have learned how to be a reporter, cameraman, photographer, interviewer and news reader for Hawick High News. This has made me more confident in speaking to people and making presentations.

My literacy skills in reading are mainly that I am good at working out what the main ideas are in a piece of writing and I can tell when a writer is trying to persuade me of something or make me laugh. Being confident in reading is helping me in my other subjects like Biology and History where it is important to be able to follow a detailed explanation. My numeracy skills are not as good as my numeracy ones but I am getting more confident in using measurement and I like geometry. I feel that I am quite good at understanding three dimensional objects. I think this helps me understand things like friction in Science and helps my drawing skills in Art and Technology. || I like dinosaurs so I would like to be a Palaeontologist. this would mean that I could travel all over the world and study dinosaur fossils. To be a good palaeontologist I will need to find out a lot more about animals that are alive today and their bone structures as well as finding out a lot more about Geology and how to understand the age of things. In S4 I am going to take Biology and Chemistry. I also want to take Art as I like it and I will need it for creating reconstructions from my fossil finds. I would also like to be a dog trainer. ||  ||
