Presentations to 1st and 2nd year classes, May 4th, 2015
On Monday, we presented to the 1st and 2nd graders. The people that presented were Lauren, Ryan, Saul,
Samantha and Luke. We stumbled a little bit, but it was all good and we
“went with the flow”. After the presentation
most of us went back to our ISSE room and emailed home, but some people
went right back to their classroom with their host. Then we went
outside to have snack. After that, we went back to the classroom and
presented to the 2nd graders. We
did a lot better the second time and it went more smoothly. After the
presentation we went back to our classrooms with our host. We spent the
rest of the morning working and taking tests in the classrooms.
After
lunch we
stayed in our classroom with our hosts and did work until 7th session .
which for us is 7th period. We all went to the gym for an assembly. In
the assembly, the after- school dance club performed Uptown Funk by
Bruno Mars which was outstanding. Their choreography
was amazing. After the dance club performed they were talking about the
earthquake in Nepal and a fundraiser with The Red Cross to help the
people in need of support. After school ended, some people went to a
place called Jump Factory. It was a
place like Jump City or Jump Street.
We all spent the evening with our host families.

Overnight trip to Lake Dewar and Sovereign Hill, May 1st and 2nd, 2015
This morning we gave our individual presentations to the year 5 classes. This afternoon we are going to Lake Dewar and then Sovereign Hill for an overnight. We went to a YMCA camp at a place called Lake Dewar that the year threes go to. The first thing we did was split into groups and figure out what activities we were going to do. The boys decided to do the Flying Fox which was a zip line that went over a little valley thing. You could do a flip, spin or, go backwards or anything. It was kind of fun and you had to run back with all of your equipment on. After that, we went to the the meeting place and decided to do an activity called the Adventure Tunneling. If you were wondering what Adventure Tunneling is, it is an obstacle coarse inside shipping crates that you have to get through with buckets of water and make it to the end and escape. The girls were not finished with this activity yet when we arrived so we made lots of noise for them. We set a record time when our group did it with a time of 20 minutes! After that we got on the bus and went to Sovereign Hill.
When we got to Sovereign Hill we un-packed our stuff and went into our rooms. I was with Alexander, Tejas, Saul, Armin, Seb, and I. After that we went outside to have pizza. We all where so hungry so we all ate so much. Next, we went to the sound and light show that showed the history of Sovereign Hill. It had voices and things like that and sound effects. There was also fire and explosions. We went back to our rooms and went to bed. The kids in the room next to us kept knocking on the wall so we could not go to sleep. We finally did, and we all happened to wake up at the same time. Someone asked what time it was and Armin said it was 4:30 in the morning. We all groaned and went back to sleep. When we woke up at 7:00, Zander got off his bed and attacked us in the dark so we started playing Monster in the Dark.
We got out of bed and started to pack up, but we were cut off and went to breakfast. It was a nice breakfast, we had cereal, juice, and toast. I was dared to eat a slab of Vegemite, so I did. I put it on the end of my knife with a slab of butter and ate it. I also was dared to have six slabs of butter and jam on toast. After breakfast, we went back to our room to finish packing. Then, we went out for the day to explore. We went into a mine, paned for gold, and did a lot more stuff.

Presentations to 3rd and 4th year classes at school, April 27th, 2015
Today I gave my first presentations. First, we presented to
the 3rd graders. I presented after Sadie who went first so I presented
second. I was a little nervous when I got up there and I stumbled a bit
but I did very well. After that I went to get a snack.
After snack, we presented to the 4th graders. I did a lot better and was not nervous and did not stumble. Next , I went into our classroom and looked at my lines for the play. Then, I went to lunch. Seb was doing cross-country and I sat and talked with Luke. They blocked off the whole field so when they were done I went and played 'Marks Up' which is a game played with a footy and a person kicks it and others try to catch it.
After lunch, we went to the gym to rehearse our play. We only got half way through it when we had to go. Two out of the six individual presentations each of us will do are are done! Tomorrow we are going to present to the 6th graders.
