Storms and Art...

Hello everyone. Happy Tuesday! 

Last night we had a huge storm come over. There was some pretty awesome thunder and lightning. It's cooled things down a lot today, which is great! It's only 23 degrees here which is a nice change. Anyway here is what my day looked like today...



9am - Revise history essay once again, looking into why the slaves were freed and how this connects with the Civil War ending. 

9:15am - Maths 45 minutes

10am Morning Tea

10:15am - English / History a Reflective Writing task on the reality TV show Outback House.

11am - English - continue working on the Comparative Essay on Romeo and Juliet 

11:30am - Art - next lesson in the program

12:30 (or whenever it's finished) - Lunch and break for 45 minutes

Afternoon task - Science - There was a lovely big storm last night. Research what causes a storm to happen, and draw a creative, neat and explanatory diagram on white A4 paper which represents this occurrence. Use colour pencils / paints etc. to make the diagram visually appealing. Label / caption it too. Present this diagram once complete, explaining the storm process fully.

Today for Art I looked at Winter birds, which was a really cool lesson. I made the picture below using oil pastels, pencil and white paint for the snow. Quite happy with the finished piece.

QOTD is do you prefer sunny or rainy weather? I much prefer the rain, it makes me feel nice and cosy. Great weather for drinking tea, wearing comfy clothes and snuggling in bed.

French and Vanuatu...

Hey there,  Today is Thursday so nearly the end of the week!! I stayed up late last night watching '10 things I hate about you'. Great movie! But I am tired today... And having an overexcited 1 year old wake you up isn't the best thing at 7 o'clock in the morning! Here's my day... 9am  Maths - 1 hour 10:15am  - Look at the feedback for “The Help” reflective piece, and edit. 10:30am  - Please proofread the French History/Culture essay. There are some minor grammatical errors, as well as some incomplete sentences. Have the final copy ready to submit by Friday.  11am  - French - language study. Please continue to revise the words. Look up any pronunciation that is confusing. Practice writing out (by hand) the words and phrases. Speaking them aloud. Listen to the pronunciation, and play around with sounding more “French”. There will be a big revision test  on Friday . 11:45am  - Please edit the “Vanuatu” p...
