Week 6 Term 2

This week we only had four days since it was queen's birthday on Monday. The TV we fitted on last Thursday is now in use for the maths and in the morning the notices. In tech arts this week we did a bit of piano, a bit of guitar and a bit of drumming. Friday's lesson was a bit different as we had Mrs Germann as the teacher while Ms Motes was away. We had to learn a song called london bridge, and we used it to assess how much we improved in the piano. I was the only to accomplish it with two hands because the others just mucked around. I just want to shout out to Jared as he kept on trying to play the song and it sounded amazing although he didn't have the time to show Mrs Germann. You definitely never gave up! Onto the next topic, Japanese this week was quite interesting really. We learnt japanese calligraphy. Japanese calligraphy is where you use a brush and black ink to write Kanji words. Not to brag, but I was quite good at it cause i've done it before :) The rules are simple, up to down and left to right. All words have their own exact way of writing it. Before writing calligraphy, you need to have first straighten your back, calm your mind and breath in.... and out. I was actually so good at it, I fell asleep not. Our first word was 友. This 友 word means friend. Compared to Traditional Chinese, it is a little bit different. In japanese you can just use 友 as friend, but in T Chinese its 朋友. Both means the same, but I just wanted to make it clear to you guys so you know .-. Next I want to talk about maths. Within four days I finished three different learning intentions and reflections. Within the three I also finished a learning intention and reflection within 2 minutes and 34 seconds. You know, there was only 5 questions so yeh. This also proves that if I can do it, you all can. People that are way behind in maths, you can do it! I sincerely hope you will catch up. Further on, I have been working on my Science Fair project. I really enjoyed finding the problem with my design, and thinking of thousands of solutions for them. Next Thursday I will meet the HRV Community Manager to talk about my project. Stay tuned for more information on the progress. Mrs Crowe assigned us a new task which was a book review. This has to be done by week 10, which is more than decades(slight exaggeration here). My book review is probably going to be about a book called Metawars. Metawars is about a child called Jonan, and another guy called uhmm.. Whatever his name was who made a virtual world where people could live inside there. The elders who have diseases or cancer can also stay in there without dieing. The interesting part was wondering about out of the millennials and guardians, who was actually the protagonist. Alright, this is all the time I have for this blog post and below is a Japanese Calligraphy art. Enjoy and go grab a coffee or tea and have a good one!

Oops, this is Korean Calligraphy art, but it will do :)
