Andrew has made pleasing progress in English throughout the year. He has worked hard to extend his oral and
written vocabulary and descriptions by considering the formality of the task and including technical and subject
specific words. He understands that texts are set out differently for different purposes and he includes
structures such as headings and subheadings in his own writing to make the meaning clear. When asked to
make inferences he now considers what is said or shown in the text and what he knows. He regularly
contributes to class and small group discussions and can justify a point of view. Well done Andrew and keep up
the good work.

Effort: Often demonstrates appropriate effort in this learning area

Andrew has a range of strategies for solving problems involving the four operations. He can estimate and round
numbers but does not always apply these skills to check the reasonableness of his answers to calculations. He
has overcome the difficulties he was experiencing with division earlier this year and has learnt some ways of
checking for divisibility by a one-digit number. He is developing fluency with decimals and fractions in the
context of measurement and chance. Andrew always contributes to discussions and seems to enjoy
mathematics. Great effort Andrew!

Andrew has demonstrated a fine attitude to his work this semester. He approaches all tasks confidently and
works well independently and in groups. When in a group, Andrew is starting to develop leadership skills by
sharing thoughts and listens to the ideas of others. Andrew can be distracted by what other students are doing
and needs to remain focused on the work in hand. Keep up the great effort.
