So this year I have decided to do my Passion Project on baking! I really like baking and I find it super fun. I've done baking for quite a few years and I'm not sure why I like it, I just find it very fun! Marguerite and I are doing this project together. So far we have already made a recipe book with all of the recipes we want to do. We have found some recipes which sound delicious! Some of the recipes we have are Ore truffles, chewy chocolate cookies, raspberry white chocolate brownies, marshmallow slice and more! I'm really excited because we start baking this weekend and we are starting with the marshmallow slice.
Marguerite and I are very organised, we have a roster for what recipes we make each week, who's house it's at and we have also made our recipe book. We designed a fabulous cover which has a pig with a donut on it!
That's it for today's post, thanks for reading. Bye!!
Walking down to Nairnville park Room 12 was very talkative. Everyone was excited for our school athletics which rolls around every year in Term 4. In our school athletics we have multiple events such as discus, vortex, long jump, shot put, 100 metre sprints and 200 metre sprints. Last term we also did high jump.
Unfortunately athletics is really not my thing. I didn't do very well in any of the events but I gave them all a go and had fun. My favourite event was probably discus and my least favourite would have to be sprints. I love cross country but then I really don't like sprints.
The EPIC value which I showed was perseverance. Although I'm not good at the sports I did them and I didn't give up. I also showed perseverance in the 1500 metres which I will talk about now.
We had a choice if we wanted to do the 1500 meter race. At first I wasn't to keen and I wasn't going to do it but I made a very last minute choice and ran the race. We had to run 3 laps and 3/4. I showed perseverance in this race as well since that's quite a few laps to run and it gets boring since there are no hills or anything, we just run around the track. Although I found it slightly boring it was still another favourite event of mine.
There were only 2 year 8 girls participating in this race so I automatically go through to Northern Zones since they took the top 2.
Overall the athletics day was really fun. I enjoyed my self and had heaps of fun participating in the events and when not competing, hanging with my friends.
Ballet Grade School
On the second Monday of the holidays I walked into the dancing studio feeling pretty excited. I had never done Grade school before so I didn't know what to expect. The other dancers and I stepped into the studio with our character skirts and shoes in our hands. We practiced introducing ourselves then went to the barre. We performed all of our dancers just how we would in our exam.
The same thing happened everyday until Friday, the last day of grade school. Our class split in half. Half went to a different studio while my half stayed in the same studio. We treated it like a proper exam. We didn't stop between our dances for corrections, we just carried on if we made a mistake. Once we had done all of our dances about 45 minutes later my teacher gave us corrections for us to apply in our exams. We then went over the dances which had the most mistakes.
Grade school was really fun and I hope that I get to do it again next year!
Thanks for reading, bye!
