End Of Term Reflection

End Of Term Reflection

WALT: Write a reflection about term 1

This year was a crazy year, from sports to sleepovers and birthday, THIS IS MY REFLECTION! 

This year was super fun, at the start of the term we did team building which required us to work in the team to come up on top. The task was for us to use up 20 spaghetti sticks, piece of duct tape, scissors, piece of sting and the marshmallow on top!. It was difficult at first but once we all started to work in a team we ended up winning, our teams one was the highest free standing tower of spaghetti stick, but it was hard for us to figure out how to make it stand until we thought of a brilliant idea! Everyone else taking pieces of the marshmallow to hold it up and leave a little bit on top, but that wasn't the case for us! We put the whole marshmallow on top and we used the siccors to hold it up, the Teachers were confused at first but they did say to use the scissors. 

Another thing that was super existing was the picking of the Student Leader. This year I have gotten the opportunity to be a Student Leader for 2019, even though it was 6 weeks ago I still will like to thank them for selecting me to be a Student Leader. Being a Student Leader this term was actually really fun! I got to connect with my peers, I just can't wait to go to the Student Leader Conference!

In week 4 we had the sleep-over! It only costed us 10 dollars because of the pools and to have food to share around. It was really fun because the first thing we did was go to the pool. When we got to the pools we got changed and started to do some team building with our groups that the teacher picked.I was with Carra, Sauve, Sosia, Fine and Arizona. It was pretty hard because we couldn't deicide who was going where and who was going with who. But at the end of the day we ended up having a good time, and once we got to the school we went home got our stuff went back to school and had a good time.

So basically this year has been amazing and I can't wait for next term!

Lock Down Drill

Lock Down DRILL!

WAL: Prepare for a disaster

Today we had a Lock Down Practice. The first thing we did was go to the hall so Mrs Kelly can tell us what's going to happen and when. These drills are every important mostly because you'll never know when a shooting or natural disaster is going to happen! 

After the mini assembly we headed back to class and carried on with our work. It was about to go to 10:20 so Mr J told us what was going to happen. But in mid sentence the bell rang, off and on off and on, that was the signal. We quickly ran under the table and lied down. This took about 15 minutes and I already was getting bored, but because it was going to save my and others people life I still went through with it. A while has passed and all I heard was a big BANG! And some kids screaming, I was confused but maybe something just fell down, like the chair. A few minutes later it was over, Mr ready came to our class saying "Thanks guys, the Lock down drill is over. Thanks Mr J for responding quickly" We all sat up and carried on with our work.
