ancient greek project

in term 3 we did a project on ancient grease. I really enjoyed this project and learnt a lot. I decided to do my project specifically on greek makeup and it was really cool to see the way the fashion and beauty have changed. The beauty standards of society were very different back then and almost the opposite of now. The clothing worn was very different too because they had nothing to make it out of so they used to wear cloaks with sandles. However, some things didn’t change like the fact that some females always wore makeup and makeup was used to enhance your face.

working as a team in innovated

In innovatED we had to prepare a speech to show to everyone about how we have been looking at plastic use in the water. We worked as a team to make the final speech because we all had to make a part and then communicate together to put it all together and then present. We spend time working together to start to make a speech, and when we did there were things that only some people noticed making as a great team, in the end, we all worked together to make a great speech which reflected all of your hard work across the term.

Ballet

My passion is ballet. I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I have won multiple awards one of the biggest ones being coming runner up in states ballet last year. Last year I also got 98.5% in my grade 5 ballet exam. I have been on pointe for 1.5 years now and got my first pair last year. This year our group character dance placed 1st at vibe dance competition and then performed in the gala. Last year in November I came fourth when I did a solo in the gae group 15 and under when I was 12. At all saints, I won the scholarship for dance and I also participate in co-curricular ballet on a Thursday morning. At the moment I currently do 11 hours of ballet every week. I love ballet because you can never be perfect and theres always something to strive for. Ballet is hard and unforgiving which is what is great about it you have to learn to be determined and have a constant drive.Image result for ballet photos"Image result for ballet photos"

Innovated Bracelets

In inovateED this term we all worked in order to achieve the goal of making eco- friendly bracelets. We made 2 types the first one being braided blue bracelets and the other with thread and the laser cutter to make a cool design about the beach. On  the way we experienced many different issues that we had to overcome the main one being the laser cutter, the laser cutter didn’t produce the wooden plaques for the bracelets enough making it hard to continue the process however we made time outside of school and then finished the bracelets overall it was a really great experience.Image result for ocean turtle plastic"
