Bannockburn Primary School Pupil Profile 2011 Child’s name: Learner 3 Date of Birth: Gallery of photos chosen by the pupil. Learners’ statement on curricular learning This year I have swept up several awards in my learning. I was given two awards for Level D Maths and Level E Reading. I was very proud of my achievements in these areas. I’ve always been proud of my ability to pass things first go or second try, writing not so much though. I’ve always been passing levels pretty quickly. I feel that Maths is my strongest area and I know that I can use my skills in maths to help me in other subjects, for example when we made a 3D structure in context work I was able to use my knowledge of 3D shapes and strong triangles. I think that I am an ideas man and I am able to bring lots of ideas to group tasks. I sometimes take the lead role in group challenges. I am more confident presenting comparative studies to the class plus being able to show off a tea dance for the public to raise money. I also feel that one of my most successful pieces of work this year has been writing my auto-biography. Learners’ statement on personal achievement This year I have been honoured with the position of House Captain not once but twice. I have lead them to victory with my passion to win. I feel that this role has made me much more confident to believe in myself. I am not a very organised person but this role made me much better at it. I have been a Squaddy meaning that I have had to organise games and activities for younger children in the playground at playtime and lunch time. I have shown myself to be a very responsible individual in this role. This year we went to Dalguise and it was awesome! But sadly we only got to go for four days. I had no fears apart from one which was that I was frightened in case I couldn’t do everything. Thankfully I did everything and my fears didn’t come true. I am taught to play the guitar at school by my tutor. After the first time I set eyes on a guitar I wanted to play it and now I can.
