Christmas Activities

This week in T3. We are working on Christmas Activities, as it is getting really close to Christmas. Miss Power had created a google website, she posted some videos of how to make christmas cards. Also, she put some facts about the meaning of Christmas, christmas treats and crafts that you can give to a family member or even a friend.  Do you enjoy Christmas? What is your thing, you want for Christmas this Year? 

Miss Power has also shared us a slide for our Christmas Activities too. And what is really great about that... she has put a christmas wish list for us. We have to come up of some Ideas on what we want for Christmas. 

High School Transitioning

High School Transitioning

On Wednesday some of the Year 8's and me, got to go to Grey High School, to have a visit and a look around before going to high school in 2019. We met up with Miss Moynahen.. and she discussed some of the stuff we were about to do when we were their for the transitioning. I think, it was interesting because you actually got to have a look around and see what it was like when you go to High School, in 2019. I'm a little nervous to go to Grey High, but I think I will be alright. 👍👌😊

Country Study

Country Study

This week in T3, we are starting to do Country Study. Miss Power & Miss Hines have assigned us country's to study on. Mine was Chile, although I actually wanted to study on Spain. Because Spain has been a country I have wanted to study on for ages. The good thing about studying on Spain is that, you get to learn their languages and it is very easy to learn. I'am finding this easy to do because this gives me a really good chance in life to know a lot about countries. Have you ever done country study before? If so, what country would you like to do? I have created a slide presentation on my Country Study, on Chile. 

Athletics Day

Yesterday afternoon we went to Anzac Park to do Athletics. It started at 2:00 in the afternoon and we had to get into the age group, we were in. I was in the 13 year old girls, group. Then we had to wait a little bit for the other kids to come, because we had the whole school coming down. By the time all the kids arrived it was my time to shine... I said to myself, ''I'm going to give it all my best. It was time to go to our first activity. First activity was shot-put. I did alright, although I need a bit more practise. Our second was 60 metre sprints? Sadly, I came last.... but that's not all. Then our second one was fun games and we had to get into groups, of 2 and we had the 2 legged race. It was fun, but I nearly fell over because I had my buddy Rikki. And I have to say it was pretty funny. Then we did discus... and I have to say I got it right. Then...... 100 metre sprints. I say to myself... I'm not going to get 1st. Or I'm just going to come last. I got into my lane, and Mr B had the starter gun. BANG! I went as fast as I could ever be. When we got to the end... I came 3rd in the 100 metre race. 

I think I did really well in all the activities. 😀 

My Tapa Design

This week for Ca lender Art, we are still doing our Tapa Design. There are some people that have not finished there Tapa Art. I have finished drawing my Tapa Design. Here is a picture of Tapa Design.

I could of tried a little harder with it. But it is my first time doing Tapa Design. And I think it looks amazing. What do you think? 

PrEP

This week for PrEP in our class, we are starting to make our  PrEP products. My group's name is the Jars & Crafts. We are making a game called Mancala. We are also planning to make Jars, pencil holders aswel. I'm looking forward to the mini market held in the hall, (if it rains) but if it doesn't rain then it's highly likely that the mini market will be outside, like it was last year. There's a few things we are not allowed to make that is.... slime, food, stress balls and squishes. We have to create something that the kids will actually buy, and maybe interested in. 

It's going to be so much fun! 

Tapa Design

This week for Art, we are focusing on ''Tapa'' If your wondering what ''Tapa'' means it's bark cloth, or Tapa is not a woven material, but made from bark that has been softened through a process of soaking and beating. The inner bark is taken from several types of trees and shrubs, often ''Mulberry and fig, or light brown, red and black. Here are some picture of ''Tapa'' 

Were going to make our own Tapa too. 

In class, Miss Power gave us some sheets of different Tapa designs we could do. I chose the easy one. I think I need to practise a little more. But I think I've done well.
