Term 2 Week 2

This week we have done lots of exciting things like lacrosse. Lacrosse is really fun and my class had a great tome learning a new sport. If you've never tried it then you should give it a try because it is lots of fun. At lacrosse they taught us how to pass catch and throw the ball correctly using different components of the stick. I usually learn things fast and have mainly natural talent for sport so I caught on straight away. I am hoping to play in the Intermediate competitions later on in term four. Lacrosse, however one of the my highlights for the week, we also had our last sessions in tech arts. For tech arts we had science but our last session finished on Friday when we made sherbert bath bombs and did our summary test. Inter class sport has also started up and we have had two games of volleyball and one of dodgeball. We lost our dodgeball, but managed to win both of our volleyball games by a considerate distance. Thats about all from this week see you next for more cool news.

Term 2 Week 1

This week we were told about science fair, and I have an Idea for what to do. I have a hypothesis for doing soil erosion, and how it works. I live on a farm so Mrs Tyson thinks that would be a good project for me. This week we had Mike King come in and talk about his life. He talked about about depression and anxiety and what he went through. He was lonely and isolated as a kid and took on drugs and alcohol at a young age. It was quite an out there story, and it must have took guts to say all the stuff about himself the way he did and laugh about and also make it funny and entertaining. Despite that it did make you think about what some people might be going through and it is quite a surprisingly sad factor. Overall we had a great introduction back to term and it was a fun and exciting week.
