Week 5

This week was our first two lessons of food. Lesson one we learnt how to make banana milkshakes, but just about everyone ended up making chocolate or vanilla. We had to work in teams of three to get milk, ice-cream, or blend the ice-cream and milk to make the milkshake. My team was Sophie J, Liam, and of course me. We made a chocolate vanilla swirl milkshake I got the milk, Sophie got the ice cream, and Liam got to blend it all together. Then on Friday we got to make either mouse traps, pizza snacks, baked apple, or jacket potato. We got to make our own thing in groups of three in each kitchen. I made pizza snacks, Sophie made jacket potato and so did Liam.

In maths we are currently doing algebra and we have learnt about patterns and rules. to write a rule you have to find the difference then that is what you multiply by and then take that number away from the original number in pattern one and if it is a positive number you add it, negative subtract it.

Week 4

This week we had to do speeches so we could find out who went to the team/class finals. I ended up getting into the class finals and have to preform it again on Monday week 5. I think I did really well the first time and deserve to go through to the team finals, but I'll have to wait and see what Monday brings.

Also we had our last lesson of music in tec arts on Friday and next week we start food which I'm super excited for, but then again isn't everyone excited for food. In year seven food, this is only what I've been told, we get to make brownies, pizzas and other things that I do not know. We get to start food on Tuesday week 5 which is next week and I think we get to make brownies first, hopefully we do.

This week has been awesome.

Week 3

This week we had our last two lessons of proper music and next week we have our last to lessons of music as dance. We had our assment done which was where we had to play a piece of music on the piano, play chords on the ukulele, did a paper test, a listening test, and then a volume test. The volume test is where there was this sign... < above the line and that meant they where louder. There was three or four options on the sheet and we had to circle which was the one Mrs. Moat played.

This week I also had my first lesson of Japanese. We learnt how to play a Japanese game called atte muiti hoi! This game is where you do paper, scissors, rock then the winner sticks their finger in the losers face and say atte muiti hoi and points in a direction and the loser has to look the other way. To win you have to get the loser to look in that direction.

Week 2

This week in tec arts we learnt how to make a healthy living rap then we got to record and make a beat to back the rap. First we had to get into teams of two or three, then we had to write our rap, then we could make a backing and record it and then at the end we got to share it with the class. I worked with Sophie Jackson and we made this rap: don't eat cake, cause apples are great; don't have coke, because the waters broke; don't have sweets, because their nice to eat; if you eat healthy, you can now take a selfie. 

This week we had a college expo and even though I'm not going to college next year we had to go to see what we had to look forward to in two years time. There was things like business studies where you learnt how to spend money wisely, sewing where you learn to make things from jerseys to pyjamas and lots of other things.
