people. people, people!!
this is ladies and gentlemen Xara Jetlys fine art. in Egypt week one of our tasks were too make hieroglyphics as the back ground and a picture of something or someone! yay!
when I started my art I drew my person in the middle first, since I was doing farming as a topic and reasearching it I decided to drew a farmer so it could relate to my topic.
Egypt obviously is my favourite topic, although I had trouble I still enjoyed it. Egypt art was fun and enjoyable.

Ancient Egypt
I have studied Egypt for over 3 years, its been my greatest passion and when I heard the teacher say, "our topic this term is Ancient Egypt" I screamed. I have already learnt everything about Egypt but is still interesting. when I grow up I wanna be a Egyptologist or an archaeologist.
when doing our first lesson we did our mind map and it was interesting because some stuff that I didn't even know about Egypt, like when the river Nile flowed up streamed to the Mediterranean sea, was what I soon researched more about it because I'm so obsessed with Egypt. this week is Egypt week and I'm excited. I enjoyed doing the Egypt groups (reading groups) though the cross country kind of ruined my time.
what I learnt was that Egypt had a small Nile that flowed up stream. I didn't learn that much because I have already learnt most things. BUT I LOVED EGYPTOLOGY (THIS IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE THRE BEST YEAR IN MY LIFE!!)

nairnville! from the sass
At Nairnville we do gymnastics and get set into groups.
At the start of our session we play a warm up game which lasts about 15 min. We then do some stretches and get into the gymnastics, they then set us up into groups and go to a course which is set up by the instructors. We have about 15 minutes of gym time. usually the instructors do competitions and have fun with us by doing flips instead of rolly pollies. what I think about gymnastics is that's its very energetic and very out going, the instructors make sure everyone is included and has had a go at a specific thing and their not too strict.
my favourite part of gymnastics is probably the flips and handstands because I'm good at it and I love gym. I usually need to improve on going faster up the ladders, im improving a bit so far.

what i learnt!!!!
what I learnt.
yesterday we had our geometry test which took me about 45 minutes. geometry is fun but I didn't understand the obtuse and right angles, I mean I know them but I kind of forgot. I then remembered that obtuse is a over 90 degree angle and a right angle is a 90 degree angle. I got them mixed up but I soon figured out why.
I also learnt that in singing I shouldn't shout. I did my auditions I had a feeling that I was shouting so a died down abet but people actually liked it, (which was surprising), so I sang my best. shouting is my worst enemy, lets hope that wont turn out to be a disaster on the production, fingers crossed.
what I thought was that I need to learn more and listen more. I have learnt a lot this week but I really want to improve in my geometry test. I think we are doing a test later at the end of this term so that I can be prepared I shall listen and learn and know what to do in my test.
the singing auditions went well I did it at lunch time 1:00. I thought I was ready, but I guess I did a phew mistakes which gave me thought that I wouldn't be able to do it. but I had great support and I would like to say thank you to ms and miss bolger for helping me when I got stuck on that bit of the song, including ms borkin. and also Samantha who was very supportive all through the auditions, she gave me a lot of confidence and at the end of my audition she was complementing on how well I did ( I oviously did the same) so I would like to say thank you for the support.
