End of Year Reflection: This year I have achieved: Medals for sport, phoenix awards, achieving my goals and more… Goals: My goals were handwriting and times tables. I am glad to say that I think I have got my hand writing covered and still have to do a bit more on maths but I think I have achieved my goals ! The highlights of my year were: getting to know new people, making new friends and learning new things. I have made so many new friends and that is definitely the whole highlight of my year. I also enjoyed participating in loads of sports and school activities. I look forward to even more next year! What I would like to improve on: My maths. I have been struggling in maths and it is definitely something I would love to improve on! Next year I hope to improve on my timetables (my main goal for maths) the only timetables I have left is 12s. So there you have it. My wikispace reflection. 5/12/13

Hello ! this week was the week of benchmark tests, I personally thought they were quit easy but we haven’t got our results yet so fingers crossed that I did good ! The end of the year is near! For speech day we are writing a piece of writing about the year. We are allowed to have 500-700 words, so far I am up to my 3 paragraph, I hope I get it done before the time is up. Next week we are going to help the Philippines by raising money for them, we want to help them all we can from the huge typhoon that hit them called Yolanda also known as Haiyan, here are some facts: • The storm has maximum sustained winds of 55 kilometres per at hour (34 miles per hour) • Haiyan – known as Yolanda in the Philippines – is likely the strongest storm to form on the planet this year • The Philippines typically gets hit by more typhoons than any country on Earth, usually about six or seven each year. 15/11/13

Lara and I are singing a duet, the song is called *reflection* by Mulan, Walt Disney.I cant wait till we perform the musical i think everyone is going to love it ! This week we got our NAPLAN results how nerve raking!!! I can say I am very proud with my results and I hope my class mates are too. 11/10/13

Hi, This week we were pumped for cross country but it rained L we are now having it in a big field it is good for me but not for some people. The reason why I like running in a circle is because I know how long I have to run for and the distance witch is better for me! 6/9/13

CHINA CAMP MONDAY On Monday we went to Tian an men square we had a look around but sadly we only got to look a little bit because we where caught in heavy rain :( we where surprised to see so many people in the subway. As we waited there where people taking pictures of us ! well we had to get used to it because in China we felt like we where like super stars and the Chinese people where the paparatzi !!!! anyway as we waited for people to start moving out as a sign the rain was gone we chatted about how our day so far, FINALLY the rain went away and we started to the Forbidden city. The Forbidden city was very interesting with the styles the building where built,  My group Mr Kemp's where doing a podcast on Monday Charlotte, Alethea and I did Tian an men square and Forbidden city while the boy's Ethan, Oliver.C and Thomas.P did tea culture and kung fu.  so after are incredibly LONG walk in the Forbidden city we went to lunch and it was DELICIOUS ! we had peking duck :D yum !!! after lunch we went to Tea culture house where we tried different tea and learned about them, the tea was very nice i don't know about you but i love love LOVE tea !!!! after drinking all that tea we went to do some Kung fu to loose some pounds :P The kung fu training was very fun we learnt lots of moves and techniques and we mastered them in less then 2 tried. We went to sit down and relax to watch the panda show it was very fun and exiting, we had a few overwhelming laughs to ! after that we had dinner and headed back to the hotel

TUESDAY On Tuesday first we went to the lake near the sports school and look around to take some pictures then we headed off to ride tri shaws it was fun i went on with my dear friend Charlotte! it was so fun we spoke Chinese to people going past and greeting them using ni hao (hello).After relaxing on the ride we went to make some yummy dumplings and learned about the different shapes of dumpling they would have. we head off to lunch after making yummy dumpling, Don't worry ! we would eat them tomorrow. lunch was as nice as the day before ! sooooooooooooooooo GOOD !!!!!! oh how I love Chinese food. Then we headed off to the temple of heaven witch was very beautiful and peaceful but because it was called the temple of heaven i think it should have been MUCH higher up. after that we went to way fu jin food street they had lots of bizarre food such as dog,shark,scorpions,cats,pigeons,snake,frog,bugs,starfish and way more !!!!!!! after that we had dinner and went back to the hotel.
