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.
