WLJ 2019 Day One Activity One

Day 1: Once upon a time in Olympia

If I got to participate in one of these events, I would chose the Horse and Chariot races. The reason I would chose this event is because I love Horses/Ponies and equestrian things. I think that this would be fun because you get to care for the Horses and then race them.

2019 Toki Film Festival

Feed-Back

Altogether this was good. Although we were sitting down for too long. Something that could be worked on in the films is the audio.

Maths

In Maths this week, we have been learning about Measurements and what you use to weigh certain things (Kg, g, t). So, yesterday we did baking for maths. The day before, we got into groups of 3 or 4 and decided what we would each bring and what we would bake. I was in a group with Quinn, Regan and I. We decided that we would bake Weetbix Slice. In our recipe we had 1 cup of Flour, 1/2 cups Sugar, 4 weetbix super crushed up, 1 tsp of Baking Powder, 1 T of cocoa, 150g melted butter and 1/2 a tsp vanilla essence. When it was all done, it tasted delicious. Here is what we made...

Broken Finger

Last week on Tuesday, I was playing a rugby game called Tennis. This is when there  are two teas and you have to kick the Rugby ball to each team and catch it. I went to go catch the rugby ball, but the ball had others ideas. It hit the end of my little finger on my left hand and made it stick outwards. I couldn't move it at all and it had swollen bigger than my thumb. It also bruised, a green spew colour. I Went home that day, but everyone thought it was only sprained, so t wasn't until the next day that I went to the hospital. I first had to tell a nurse everything that happened, then we waited for an hour to get an X-Ray. I had an X-Ray and then we had to wait an hour and a half until they told me that it was broken. They brought me into a room where I had to have pain killer up my nose and then I had laughing gas. The Doctor then re broke my finger so that they could tape it to the finger beside it. It was a very painful day.
