Reflection: These years in Merrin I was very happy because I made lots of friends and lots of people helped me with my maths and English.
In 2012 when I first came to Merrin I had lots of friends to play with but the thing is that I didn't know that much English so I watched how other people are playing and then I learnt the rules.
In 2016 when I was year seven we got three teachers - one for writing, one for reading and one for mathematics. At the start of the week I didn't understand what the teachers were talking about so I watched what others were doing and then I knew what to do. Later in the weeks I learnt my English and I understood.
In 2017 we had a lots of outdoor adventures like skiing, camping, surfing and I'm really excited about the Year 8 star week. This year I have improved a lot in mathematics and writing. I had concentrated and focused more this year when the teacher is talking.
Overall: I think I did quite well this year with my writing and mathematics. Lots of people helped me with my English especially my teachers and friends. I had really enjoyed my time at Merrin School. Glad I chose this school.
