ESOL

For this term in  ESOL we have done a lot of fun and interesting things and one of the lessons that I enjoyed was when we watched this movie called Penguin, it was a story about a family and a bird named Penguin I liked it because it was very entertaining though some of the parts were very emotional which made me a little sad. One of the things I also enjoyed doing in ESOL class is when we get to read short stories because you could learn quite a few things and it was as well entertaining. Playing tons of kahoots was also one of my favourite activities we've done in ESOL because we could see how much we've actually learned about the topic we were focusing on and it's also fun to compete with your friends and try to be on the podium.

If I would ever be proud of a work I've done in ESOL it'd be the presentation I made about Paralympics and some paralympians with some of their achievements this is because I am really into sports and athletics. But if there was one thing I could do differently to do better in ESOL is that I should listen to the teacher more carefully and finish the assigned works for me. 

BADMINTON BLOGPOST

For the past few weeks we have been playing badminton and we are learning the rules and how to play the game so on this blog post I will be sharing with you all the things that I've learned during the last few weeks of playing the game.

You can play badminton in singles or pairs and you will need a racket for each person to hit the shuttlecock which is the ball. Hit the shuttlecock to other side and when it hits the ground on the other side you will get a point but if you don't get it over your side your opponent gets the point and they will also get the point if you hit the shuttlecock more than once. You will also lose a point if you hit the shuttlecock outside of the box but if your opponent does this you will get the point. And to serve you must hit it the shuttlecock with your racket to go to your opponents side but if you fail to get it over your side your opponent gets the point.

What are my learning strengths (Refer to Year 10 Graduate Profile)		What are my learning work ons (Refer to Year 10 Graduate Profile)
I am curious and use questioning to develop my thinking. I understand and respect my own, my peers, and my school’s culture.		I am actively engaged in my learning I reflect and seek feedback to determine my next learning steps. I can think outside the square.
How will I achieve this?
I think I will be able to achieve this by listening to the teacher more and not getting distracted by other things so that I can think harder and get on with my work.
Wellbeing - (this will be filled in later in the term after some learning around this has occurred) Students will be asked to come up with a plan around how they could improve their wellbeing and ideas on how to measure this so they know improvements are happening.
End of term reflection

PHYSICS RECAP

Hello everyone today I will be sharing some of the main experiments that we did for physics this term and as well last term. 

Some of the few main activities that we did for physics last term was dissecting animals and learning about their organs and their purpose. The first animal we dissected was a part of a chicken, and it was its legs. We studied its tendons and how it was connecting from bone to muscles, my group tried looking for its ligaments but we had no idea where to find it. The last animal we dissected was a rat and this was probably the most sickening thing we did for physics this year. We had to cut its stomach open and had a chance to study its stomach on inside. My group and I were probably a bit gruesome on the rat since we cut off its head and arms.

Another experiment we did (which I didn't know the name of) where you had to make a container that could contain water in it and after that we had to place the container with the water inside it on top of a Bunsen burner. and we timed how long it stood on the Bunsen burner without it catching on fire. Our one only took about 12 seconds to burn which was really bad. But the other group that did it lasted for 5 or even 6 minutes without it catching on fire on top of a Bunsen burner. 

RUBBER CUP GAME

Hello everyone,

Today I will be sharing a game that I've learnt last week with you. It is a rubber band cup game, to play this game you will need a few cups that can stack up to a triangle shape and a rubber band with strings around it so everyone in your team needs to have a string. Using the band with the strings attached to it your team will have to stack the cups into a triangle using the rubber band.
