2020/Term 4 Highlights!

This term was packed full of events and was overall a very exciting term! There were many highlights and memories made this year.

I had the opportunity to be a film festival presenter and present our classroom film all about how to deal with your worries. It was based on a book "Ruby finds a worry" by Tom Percival. 

In term 3 the year 8s went off to Thames for the annual camp, year 8 camp was postponed due to Covid-19 and lockdowns so that was why we had it during term 3 instead of term 2. I made many memories there and had loads of fun with the rest of the year 8s. I'll definitely miss the camps that Pt England has for us.

 Cross country was also one of my highlights! this years cross country the year 8s had to run 3km. Although cross country was a very tiring day I enjoyed cheering for the rest of the year 8s! I also came 2nd for year 8 girls :D

I also enjoyed serving for Pt England School. Becoming a prefect for 2020 was both an interesting experience and I learnt a lot from it.

I'm also looking forward to prizegiving which is tomorrow evening (Thursday the 10th of December), and also excited for year 8 graduation which is next week Monday (Monday the 14th of December).

Extension- Art work (Art Alive)

 

For extension this term we drew digitally an image that represented both the environment that is around us and our culture. 

For this image we also followed the rule of thirds. The flax is at the very front, the Pt England beach seen in between the flax and the sky. A popular Burmese pattern is drawn onto the flax which represents my culture. We go down to the Pt England beach at least twice a year for our annual school picnic and so I decided to add it in as my background.
