E.P.I.C

The school values are a big part of our school, there is Empathy, Perseverance, Integrity and Creativity which spells out E.P.I.C. We have to write about a time this week where we have shown one of these values. This week we had to write a creative story about just anything and I used the value of creativity and perseverance because it was really hard to just sit down at the computer for a while and just write a story. I also showed empathy during fitness when we had to run up and down touching each line because I could've ran really fast but since my friend was slow I hung back with her, she showed the value of perseverance.

The Fault In Our Stars

Recently I read a really good book called the Fault in our Stars. Its basically about these two teenagers, a boy and a girl that have cancer and fall in love. There names are Augustus Waters and Hazel. They do everything together and are pretty much cancer free until one day Augustus is diagnosed again and everything goes downhill from here. Its a really sad but good book, one of the quotes is "I'm on a rollercoaster that only goes up my friend" and "Okay? Okay"  I recommend it for older kids that want a cute but sad love story!

Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands has been a really interesting topic for the term. I learnt lots of things like.... how animals adapt, what sorts of animals live on the islands, how the islands formed and it has helped me understand what evolution is. Another thing I would like to learn about the Galapagos Islands is discovering more animals because all the animals we have learnt about so far have been really interesting so I would like to learn about some more of the species the live on the islands.

Responsibilities!!!!

At the beginning of the year we all wrote letters to different teachers to get different responsibilities like first aid, librarians etc. I became a sport leader, so Imogen, Eva and I got given a day to be on which is Wednesday. Every Wednesday we go to morning tea and lunch early to pull out the P.E cart and take care of the sports equipment. I have enjoyed the responsibility and helping kids at break.

Finacial Stuff

Yesterday a guy named Vane came to our school from ASB to talk to us about being wise with our money. He was really funny and he gave us some good tips on how to earn money and be careful with it. We played some fun activities and and did some exercises but mainly he did alot of talking, which was fine because he had really good humor and made us laugh alot. I think i did learn some things about money and eftpos cards and that there are 2 ATMS in Antartica but only one of them works. It was fun!

Mission Fair!

Last Friday was the Mission Fair, I was in a group with all my friends, (there was like 11 of us). I had so much fun and we raised lots of money. At my stall we had lots of activities and food like Jelly, Donuts, Sherbert, Fudge, Waffles and games like Lolly pong, choc coin throw, Hairspray and face paint. The whole thing went really well but one thing I would change would be nothing! Unfortunatley this was my last year doing the mission fair so I'm glad we raised lots of money and had fun doing it.

ANZAC Day

What have I learned???
I have learnt lots of things about WW1 because to begin with I didn't know  that much any way. I mainly learned about how many people lost their lives in Gallipoli, and about the medals the soldiers could earn like the Victoria Cross.

I attended the light show on ANZAC Day but I didn't go to any of the parades. The light show was really cool and lasted about 15 minutes. I also went to the Pulse game and before it began there was someone who played the trumpet, did a speech and ended in a moment of silence. I think it is good how much people do for the soldiers who fought in the war and it is very important that we commemorate their bravery.
