Wheels day (2!)

Image
Hello there! Yesterday we had a Wheels Day, and we sold off left overs (No food, it all got sold out, thankfully) from the Celebration Day. It was a gold coin donation day, meaning everyone wore mufti and brought a gold coin. As the Celebration Day itself was a success, I presume this was too. Some people slid right over the red cushions. Of course, others knocked them out of place. We also had a slip'n'slide, that had a number of laughs, such as when someone kind of did a roly-poly over the red cushions. Most of the laughs involved hilarious crashes into the red cushions. Often, two people went down together (I never did, though), which meant they went really far. I never crashed into the cushions. My feet just heavily tapped the cushions and some bubbly water went on to the grass in front of it. Everyone always got splashed in their face. The swimming pool was open as well. There was a lot of splashing in it, and even more started when the rings were thrown in. I alw

Recycled paper!

Hello there again! Recently we have been making a lot (almost 100 cards!) of recycled paper to sell at the Gala day. For more info on the Gala day, see " Buy a seed bomb now! - Post not sponsored by anything! ". I think the reason we are doing recycled paper because the Gala day seems to have a focus on being environmentally friendly. Unsurprisingly, the main thing we learnt was how to recycle paper (And that is very inclusive). I don't think many (Or any. That rhymes!) of us knew how to recycle paper. We all wrote a procedural writing text (At least a plan) on how to make paper (I'm pretty sure "making paper" and "recycling paper" both work), which I currently have with me. I have had to modify it a bit. Making cards out of recycled paper You will need: Paper A bucket A mould and deckle An egg beater A sink Glue And finally, a small piece of paper Making it First, get some paper (Try not to use newspaper, it is too inky) Then

A late post about Athletics day

Hello again! It's nearing the end of 2017, and considering I didn't post about Athletics day, I think I will now. When do we go over the hurdles? Our Athletics day was on the 14th of November this year. It was almost cancelled half-way through, because it was looking rainy and if I remember correctly, there was a very light drizzle at some time. But it went though, although I was finding it a bit too cold and noisy at the end so I was sent to help in the staffroom. Go everyone! One thing from that day I will probably remember a while is high-jump. That high-jump was only the second time I had ever done it without knocking over the bar. Another reason I will probably remember it was because the mat was incredibly hot, so I always ended up rolling onto the red cushions beside it. The runners look very small from here. I think my group missed out on one thing because something else ran over time. I can't quite remember what it was, but I think it was tr

Celebration day thinking hats!

Hello! Recently we made a slideshow, which was about what we thought about the Celebration Day, such as what we thought was good, what we thought was bad, and what we would have changed. Here it is! We all made something related for our portfolio, and a QR code is supposed to link that to this presentation. At the Celebration day there were dances, stalls, and plenty of fun (even for babies!). It was a big success, and thankfully all the food got sold out. Apparently we made around $14k, and I expect more will come because we are having a gold coin day where we are going to sell what was left over. If you want to comment, please do! Bye!
