over the previous week, we continued doing algebra and I have completed many tasks and learned heaps such as being able to solve equations and finding the unknown. Last week we began food tech and in the first lesson the made bread but I was sick that day and on Friday during the second lesson I made a pizza learning how to make a pizza base with yeast included in it and I also learned that yeast can die if the temperature is too hot or too cold it has to be just right. Overall in food, my pizza turned out pretty good and was really delicious. The previous week we began writing our poems about the holocaust and all of the horrific things that occurred throughout that time period. While writing this poem we have to use strong vocabulary and make sure that we are not writing sentences we write in short phrases. Overall the last week has been fun and I am looking forward to the weeks to come.

Week 1 and goals for term 2

Over the next term, I hope to accomplish many things in and out of class. Out of class, I hope to be picked for AIMS basketball and carry on with basketball and improve my skills. In and during class I hope to become more focused and strive to complete all of my work on time and work independently. These are a few of my goals that I hope to accomplish over the term to come. In week one of term 2, we began algebra which I find quite difficult but enjoy because it is a challenge and makes me think hard. In the last week, we did pubertal change where we learned about the changes you make as you become an adult. In science we created bath bombs while we were doing this we learned about the reactions that happen when some chemicals meet and combine. In English, we did another noun test to improve our skills of identifying nouns and different types of nouns such as abstract nouns, proper nouns, common nouns and concrete nouns after completing these tasks I a  now confident about identifying nouns. Overall week one was good and I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the following weeks to come.
