The city of ember

Throughout this term we have been reading a book called the city of ember and we just watched the movie today on the 18/19 of September it was such a good movie because it caught you're attention easily. But the only thing that i didn't like about it was that the teacher kept pausing every 5 to 10 min just to write something down in our books so it took us two days to finish it. But in some bits it looked a bit un realistic like when they were going down the river in the boat/locker. But overall it was a really exciting to watch. :)   

Lakes High visit

Yesterday on the 11th of September all the year 8's from our school went and visited Lakes High School. We had lots of fun we went to alot of different rotations like art. Art was just basically tracing on a piece of plastic and melting it onto paper i gave it a 8/10. Cooking was the best because we got to make our very own chocolate molds by melting plastic. In science we played with dry ice and dissected body parts of the deer. Maths was like an amazing race maths style we had to collect lots of puzzle pieces to win. Languages was like a fisita we had to speak French and Spanish like bonjour and salut! But my favourite was playing this game called pirates in the gym. It is a game that's basically like line tag but there is alot of obstacles like trampolines and ropes that you have to go over and through. Over all we all had alot of fun and it has made me think more about what i want to do next year becoming a year 9 our leaders were very caring their names were Toby and Rebecca. I am very excited for next year so wish me luck :)

Our speeches

A couple of weeks back our school got involved in speeches. We all came up with our own speeches to any topic we desired. My topic was 'Encouraging Sports'. We had approximately 4 weeks to complete it. Then we presented it infront of the class and then picked whos was the best and they presented it infront of learning centre.
