On Thursday the 5th of November, We had Robyn Moore, the voice behind Blinky Bill, visited our school! She talked about the make a wish foundation and some of the wishes that she granted, and also about C.R.A.P. The words that the letters stand for are Cynicism, Resignation, Anger and Procrastination. She also sang “Happy Birthday” To Mrs. Logan, our P.E Teacher.
I got the C.R.A.P from a booklet that Robyn Moore gave out when she came to our school and the blinky bill saying, so don’t use it. Also, Blinkey Bill Says: “Remember Life Is An Adventure”.

The olympics are held in chosen citys around the world every four years. The Canadian Olympic Association chose Vancouver as the Canadian candidate city over Calgary, which sought to re-host the games andQuebec City, which had lost the 2002 Olympic bid in 1995. On the first round of voting on November 21, 1998, Vancouver-Whistler had 26 votes, Quebec City with 25 and Calgary 21. On December 3, 1998, the second and final round of voting happened between the two leading contenders, which saw Vancouver win with 40 votes compared to Quebec City’s 32. The win allowed Vancouver to prepare its bid and begin lobbying efforts internationally.

A week ago our school had an athletics carnival. There are three teams. There are Davis, Bridges, and (The best team of all!) HART! I competed in three races, 100 meters (came fourth), 200 meters (Came second) and the 200 meter finals, which I came fourth. It was a very good athletics carival because it had a whole range of events. They included Javelin, Discus, Tug-Of-War, Running, Relays, High-jump, Long-jump and more. I think that bridges won.
This week we had a presentation set up by the group called Motivational Media. At the time, our theme for S.4.L (Or Skills 4 Life) was bounce back to school, which basically means that we are perpared for school everyday even if we have had a bad morning or a bad sleep. Another thing we talked about was rebounding, when a disasterous event happens to you or a family member.
With the presentation, we saw 4-5 different people that had done something that had changed their life or other peoples lives. Some Of these people were: Lars Olsen, A man that had the dream to start up a orphanage at the age of 24, Ali Ammar, who was involved in the Flag Burning in the Cronlla Riots, And more.
On a day that DFPS had a sports carnival, I got some hair spray that colours your hair. When I had it put on, I felt sick, but my mum thought that it was the butterflies. When I got to school, I felt really sick and I kept on gagging. As soon as i went to the office, I rushed to the toilet and threw up. I then got the office to ring my mum and say i was sick. 30 minutes later, I had already thrown up 6 times, and mum finally got to school and took me home. I had to get the spray washed out with hot shampoo and conditioner. After that, I threw up another 5 times and dry reached at least 20 times. I am NEVER having coloured hair spray in my hair AGAIN!!!!
I have learned more about WWI and WWII than I used to know in history. I will find it useful in the future to teach my children if I have them later on in life, about some morals that were face in the wars, to show some consequences to their actions they might take.
I have learned to do proper sentences and make my sentences more interesting and use proper grammar in Publishing and ICT. This will help me when i want to apply for a job so that I have a more better chance of getting a job because if a resume have a lot of grammar mistakes, it will look unprofessional and they probably not take any notice of it and would probably throw it away.
I have learned to use shading and texture in painting and drawing in Art Class. It will help me if I take up a job in art or designing buildings as an architect or as a artist. I probably would also be able to design phones, computers etc.
I have learned how to use chemicals in a correct way in Science class. This would help me because i am thinking of getting a job as a scientist and I will need to know how to use dangerous chemicals otherwise I could kill myself or a colleague of mine.
I have learned how to spell more words than I used to in Literacy. This could help me when I want to write a resume so I use words that sound more professional and will give me a more likely chance of getting a job. It also could help me write a book or a blog post like this if I ever choose to write a book in the future.
I think all the qualities that i have learned will help me have a better life in the future and will help me reach goal I could not reach if I didn’t know all of this stuff.

I probably could improve on my listening and contributing skills, I could improve in getting along with some people better and i probably could improve on some of my classes like Maths, Literacy, Science and Art. I also got a A++ in music. I also can improve in having more respect towards some of my friends or my classmates because i can sometimes i can lack the control of my feeling or my anger.
Home:
I could improve on my skills to contribute to the household and make it better. I could do things more without being told to. I also can gain more patience when I want to spend time with my mum or my step-dad, they don’t have a lot of time for me anymore so it makes it harder on me to accept that they are very busy people and I need to learn that I need to wait for them to have free time.
Behavior:
I could try to control my attitude, because I can take thing the wrong way and I can act before i think about the consequences of my actions. I also could try to get along with people more because there is a few people in my class that I don’t get along with but I can try more to get along with them. I also can improve on how I react to people bulling me, and if I can do that I would use that to egg me on to becoming a better person.
