Term 1, 2 ,3 & 4 Reflection

 In this piece of writing I will be reflecting the best things and the worst and most embarrassing things about term 1, 2, 3 and 4.

I will be starting with term 1. The best thing that happened to me in term 1 would be the Spencer Park camp. It was awesome because we could share our tent with our friends and we made our own dinner. The worst part of term 1 would be when lock down started because it got boring really quickly and I couldn't see my friends.

Secondly term 2. In term 2 there was 12 weeks I think because the holidays were pushed back because of COVID - 19 so it was a very long term. For term 2 I think coming back to school was a good and bad thing because coming back was good because I could see my friends but its also bad because I was really starting to enjoy it at home all of the time.

Thirdly term 3. I think my favorite thing about term 3 would be sailing. It was really fun because I had never done anything like it before so it was a great experience. The worst thing about term three would be that we were in alert level 2 and I wanted to run a disco but we couldn't so that really annoyed me.

Fourthly I think the best thing about term 4 is the Halloween disco. It was the best thing because we raised lots of money and the little kids had a great time. The worst thing about term 4 would be the year coming to an end because I have lots of great friends that I might never see again.

Jellie Park

 Last Friday for our year 8 leavers activity we went to Jellie Park. We did the same thing last year but I had a broken arm so I could not swim, so it was my first time actually swimming there. 

At Jellie Park there is only one pool and three hydro slides outside but there is more pools inside and a hydro slide inside but we weren't allowed inside, there is also a cafe that we could buy stuff at so I bought $10 with me but I didn't buy anything because it is really expensive. 

The thing I think is the best would be the hydro slides. There is one curvy hydro slide that you can have up to 4 people on, and there is two parallel fast slides. They are really fast and you can race people on them. When you get to the bottom of the slide you skim across the water then smash into the water. There are also 2 diving boards, one of them is 1 metre and another one is 3 metres. I went on both of them and the 3 metre doesn't look very big when you look at it but when you are on the top it feels way bigger than when you are blow it.

When we got in the bus to leave I noticed that I had a slight but of sun burn on the back of my neck but it is way less than I thought I would get.

Maths Tessellations

 

Today for maths our task was to create tessellations. A tessellation is when lots of small shapes fit inside a big shape. We had to create three so I made mine out of triangles and arrows. I tried to make them out of many shapes like hearts, pentagons and stars. 

Food Tech Last Week.

 Last week at technology our first session was Foods. We had a choice of what we wanted to make. We could make rice balls or fried rice. Most of the class wanted to make rice balls but I decided to make fried rice. Firstly we had to prepare out veges. We had a choice of capsicum, cucumber, mixed veges and spring onion. I chose mixed veges and spring onion because I though capsicum and cucumber would taste weird in fried rice. After we prepared our veges we had to make the chicken. To marinade the chicken we put dark soy sauce and light soy sauce in it. After the chicken was fully marinaded we cooked the chicken in the frying pan. When the chicken was cooked and the juices ran clear we added the veges, then the rice and then the spring onion. We finished our fried rice before everyone finished the rice balls so we could do our dishes before everyone and we could eat before everyone else.

Tetragonal Star

 

For Maths today we did shape building with card. The shape I made is a Tetragonal Star. it has 9 faces, 16 edges and 9 vertices. To build the shape we had a sheet of card with the outline of the shape and we had to cut it out, fold it then glue it together. 

Maths Shape task

Yesterday for maths we had to look at a shape that the teacher had made and draw all the different views of the angles. We had to draw the view from the left, right, top and front. We also had to recreate the shape with plastic blocks. After we made the shape, some of us had to show what we had done to the class. My group had to show the math group what we had done. We had to show what angles we got and if the class agreed with our angles. We showed the class our angles and showed them how we got them. The class agreed with most of our angles, when we finished another group went up and we had to look at their angles and tell them if we agree with them or not.

5 Reasons Why We Should Use Manners

In this piece of writing I will be showing you why manners

are important and everyone should use them.

My first reason will be that when you use manners

people will feel respected and appreciated because

manners are a way of showing appreciation when

someone does something for you. Also when you

use manners it makes people feel much happier and

it can also make someone's day. For example when the

teachers are angry they appreciate it when children use

manners and are respectful and it can also make them

happier.

Another reason why people should use manners is

because when you use manners people will like you

much more and would not mind being around you, but if

you don't use manners people will not like being around

you because you will sound rude and most other people

don't like rude people. For example in our classroom there

are children who have no manners at all and they have

made no friends this year because everyone knows them

as rude and disrespectful people and don't want to be

their friend.

My third reason is if you use manners and say thank

you people will not hesitate to do stuff for you again but if

you don't say thank you to others they may not want to help

you anymore.

My fourth reason is take the blame when you do something

wrong. If you take the blame the problem will be over with

very quickly but if you blame it on someone else it can get

much worse and the problem will get bigger and bigger than

when it's over with you might notice that later on you will

have no friends. 

Another reason to use manners is that when you say hello

to someone it can cheer them up if they are unhappy and

make them say hello to someone else who is unhappy and

cheer them up. It is like a chain reaction.
