My battle of Hastings newspaper

This is my battle of Hastings newspaper that we did on publisher.

Evaluation of Power Point

This year in power point I have learnt

· That you should use power point when you want to make a presentation or a slide show.
· That you should not use a colour on the same background e.g. pink writing on a pink background
· Not to make the backgrounds too busy.




How could I use these skills in another subject?


· If I am making a presentation, it will be much easier to read because I now know how to use it .




What I did well ?


· I learnt quickly how to use it so it was easy.
· To apply pictures to my presentation
· I got the right information

What I have learnt this year in Microsoft Excel


This year in Excel I have learnt how to properly use spreadsheets and how to add data to it. I have also learnt how to put graphs on my work, how to add pictures onto the graph and how to put numbers around it.


I could use these skills in maths because I could make a times table list with the spreadsheet and I could use the graphs for data.


I think I did well in the graph work because I found it easy to do and I like searching for pictures of my chosen animals.



My targets for next term again are to listen carefully to instructions because I kept on having to ask the person next to me what we were doing.

Evaluation of Publisher

· How to make a newspaper report
· How to use all the tools

· In history when I want to make a newspaper report on an event that took place a long time ago
· An article of English
· A graph for science



What I did well

· I could get the pictures onto my work
· I could make the name cards and flyers well

What I have learnt in this year in word

This term I have learnt how to use the Header and Footer bar and how to put a page number at the bottom of the page. I have learnt how to change the justifications on word. Toolbars are another thing. I have learnt how to add them and take them away from the usual ones. I have also learnt that” The undo button is your friend!”


I might be able to use these skills in English if I have to do an essay or story. I would be able to put the page number on the bottom of the page to indicate which page it would be. My name would go on the top of the pages so my story would be easy to find. Therefore, these things would be very useful.


I think I did well in using the toolbars because I have used them before so I found it easy.

My targets for next term are to listen to instructions more carefully because in a few lessons I have not known what I was doing because I hadn’t listened.
