week 2

This week was really awesome because we did heaps of awesome activities and work. One of the activities was lacrosse and we learned heaps of skills if we were ever to play lacrosse. At the end of the year they are having a team and I would rally love to play for my age group. Some of the skills we learned were to scoop up the ball correctly, throw the ball back and fourth, throw the ball far, tricks to evade the opposition and towards the end we played a small game. I really enjoyed lacrosse because it was something knew that I have ever tried and was a really enjoyable activity. This week we continued with science fair and I have decided that my question is going to be what area of the house has the least affect for growing mould on bread. I have done this because I was curious to see how long the life span of a single piece of bread and to see were the most effective place is to store  bread. We also focused on compass bearings witch I learned lots about and am confident in answering questions. we also did a geometry test witch was to see what group we would be put in.

WEEK 1 TERM TWO

This week was really awesome meeting up with all of my friends again and being back in school. This week we began to talk about science fair and I am thinking about what liquid is most effective for cleaning pennies. I am thinking about doing this because I reckon it would be a really interesting topic and I want to see what liquid makes pennies the shiniest. We also finished editing our writing and I learnt a lot more about editing and am a lot more confident about editing my work pieces and making work better than it was before. During the week we also focused on math and I learnt a lot more about angles and then the day after that we did more about angles which was just a recap for me and many other people that understated how to do it. I am looking forward to next week because we are doing lacrosse and los more sports and learning. I have also joined the Monday night basketball team and am really looking forward to competing against other teams and am really going to enjoy it.

 These few weeks have been really fun and I enjoyed all of the things we did including our first wood work session and school sining. I really enjoyed wood work because I enjoy all the things we did including using all of the machines like the belt sander, filer and all the other tools we got to use. I really I this stuff because I enjoy crafting things and for this term of wood work we are making trucks. So far we have completed the outside part of were the driver sits and  filed and belt sanded it. The next thing I need to complete is definitely the grill because this is the thing Mr graham marks our truck on. This has been really enjoyable so far and am looking forward to the next session. The past week I really struggled with my algorithms and had to take quite a lot of time to work and practise these but eventually I learned to understand how to complete these but am proud of myself for giving it ago and learnt a lot about completing these correctly and am confident about answering these questions. I am looking forward to the next few weeks especially camp because it will be a new experience and am looking forward to getting to know my class mates better and trying new experiences.

We also had our last session of soft materials which I really enjoyed and am looking forward to hard materials. In our last session of soft materials I completed my bag witch turned out amazing and am very proud of myself for completing it on time and also sad to leave but I am very excited for hard materials.

This week has been awesome I have really enjoyed it in all of they activities we did including jump jam which is one of my favourite activities because you are energetic and have an awesome time following awesome moves and have a fun time dancing and moving with your friends. you also use lots of energy which I really enjoy. This week we also did water safety and boat safety were we learned to always were  life jacket on a boat and also when we are fishing on rocks. Reasons for this are if a rouge wave comes in we can keep our head above water. we also learned how to throw out a safety rope for people that are struggling to swim can then be pull  back in. Next we learned how to stay safe and hopefully survive and if we are stuck in the ocean we are able to keep as much warmth as possible by forming a small ball of people and also good techniques to work as a team to move at a quick pace but not use all of your energy at once. At Tec arts I learned how to sow intricate shapes onto material and am nearly finished completing my bag and it will be ready hopefully by tomorrow when we have our next session of Tec arts. Overall I really enjoyed this week and am looking forward to the next.
