Spanish Fiesta

24th, April, '15

Our Spanish teacher decided to hold a spanish themed party for our last class. We went to the home economics rooms and cooked four big paellas. I missed the first class for music rehersals for the end of year awards ceremony but when i got back the smell of the kitchen was amazing. They were chicken paellas (my favourite) and we had it with sangria (I think it was called that) kind of a fizzy fruity drink. It was gorgeous. We blew up balloons and decorated the tables and put on some spanish music. Once the paella was fully cooked we invited in the other spanish class in the year. We all ate tonns of paella as there was enough to feed an army. There was soo much left over that we invited in other classes from different years, even people just walking on the corridors. So most people got some, it was the nicest paella i've had so far.

The balloons were so hard to blow up. We nearly fainted and our faces went red.

Science

22nd, April, '15

Today in science class we made paper rockets and tested them on the back pitches. It was really fun and we just messsed around for the whole class. We got to design our rockets, I drew Nyan cat on mine, and then tape them together with great difficulty. We then used a pump to build up pressure to blast them off down the pitch. This was really fun, some peoples went really far, like mine, and others not so far, some even broke without even leaving the launch pad. We all laughed at those ones. I love science in T.Y, there are no books and its all very practical. We were outside in the sun enjoying ourselves.

Car Safety Demo

21st, April, '15

For three periods today we had a car safety demonstration at the back of the school. A large trailer with half of a car was brought in and the presenter told us about all the different safety features like how to wear the belt properly and the airbags.. It was quite shocking but informative. He got different people to sit in the car to demonstrate different possibilities. It was quite funny aswel as he made a lot of inuendos. He made the lesson quite entertaining, but also direct. We all learnt how to be safe while driving. Most of which I already knew, but it doesn't hurt to hear it all again.
