Virginia Park Cattle Station

Thursday 29th October
We got on the bus to leave for the cattle station. The bus was terrific. It had arm rests, foot rests, a holder to hold your things and it had the most comfortable chairs. It was magnificent. The bad thing was we had to go on the bus for about ninety minutes. When we got there we went straight to work with our bush walk, collecting fire wood for the bonfire at night/nine o`clock. Then we started our orientations. Before we did that our helpers introduced themselves. They were Rob, John, Sue, Lisa and Tanya. Group One first did orienteering, then horse riding and last but not least swimming. Group two first did horse ridding, then swimming to cool us off and orienteering. Group three first did swimming, then orienteering and then horse riding. I was in group two with Eliza, Olivia, Anouska, Taznim, Claudia, Siddant, Chandler, Oliver, Nicole, Josh H, Floyd, Brendan, Lucy, Laura and Dong won. John, Brendan's dad took us down to the horses and their names are Response, Tom and Stella. Stella is small and is just in learning how to be ridden so we did not get to ride him. Instead we rode Response and Tom. When I was on top of Response I felt so tall because Response was a taller horse and we only got to go on one horse so it was quite a hard decision. I am not joking. Next we went swimming and pool was so green and because of that Tasnim did not go in and when you went lower and lower it got greener and greener and that made it scarier. Then we went orienteering and people said it was hot. We had to walk four hunderd metres up a hill and we had to walk just about everywhere.

Contrasting and comparing similes and metaphors

What I learnt today

Today I learnt how to use a web 2.0 tool.
I learnt how to use imagechef and how to publish my poem and how to use flower text and poetry blender. I learnt how many words can be in a flower text- only two or one because if you have more than that then your text is blury and you are not be able to read it.

Term 2 reflection

This term I improved  in my typing , saying my presentation and remembering words for it and my six times tables and above . My typing now is much faster and I`m using two hands . When I did my presentation I did not make a mistake . In Indonesian my teacher Bu MN, she taught the class how to say the colours of the rainbow in Indonesian. It goes like this merah , kuning merah muda hijau , ungu , jingga and biru . This term has been fun and a bit hard at times .

Drug Awareness week

This week is drug awareness week. On the 29th of May Dr.Rane taught the class how to put people in the recovery position. This is how you do it: You put the person who fainted right hand in the how! position. Then you put their left hand of the right check. Then put the unconscious persons left leg up and turn them over to the left or right. Then put your ear against their ear so you can hear them breathing. Lift their head up so you can put your fingers against their neck so you can feel their heart beating. The whole class watched Mr.Bean on youtube. He didn`t use the recovery position, instead he used jump leads on the unconscious man. It would be very dangerous if you did this in real life.
