In Innovat(ED) last term, we have been focusing on the UN Global Goals. I was focusing on the number 14 Life below water and trying to improve the cleanliness for marine life in the ocean. In week 8 I had a meeting with Mr. Lynn to try and get the canteen to be less wasteful.
Out of school at Willetton Tennis Club I have been playing tennis since I was 5 years old. I am in the highest group and I have worked my way up. I spent a whole 4 years in the beginners group. My coaches are Phil, Stefano, Jamie, Allie-Rose, Kate, Justin and Andrew. I am in the same group as Shama Ramachandran in 7V. We go every Saturday mornings, but I have been unable to do this for 6 weeks because I broke my ankle. I start up again tomorrow.
This year in June, I started going to my local Girl Guides. Some of my friends did it and I wanted to find out what it was about, so I had a go and I loved it! It is so fun playing games and learning in a fun way as well as making new friends and socializing. We meet on Wednesday evenings from 6-8pm. We go on camps and pre-camps every so often to prepare and learn new skills such as putting up our own tents. We went on a dinosaur themed camp recently for 2 nights on 13-15th of September.
Over the holidays, I went overseas to the wet countries that are England and Paris! I learnt about how old everything in England is and the history is just amazing. When I went to Greenwich and found out what Greenwich Mean time is while looking out at a breathtaking view. We visited the TATE which is one of the most beautiful art galleries in the world. You only really discover the beauty of art until you see it face to face. Lots of exciting days later, we were up the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris! The view of looking down was like being in heaven looking down at the earth! You could see for miles out finding the Sacre Coeur, Le Louvre, Arc de Triomphe and the remains of the burnt down Notre Dame. We had to use the powers of self management in not leaving behind our belongings, creativity with the view at the top of tour eifel and knowledge with being taught all of the interesting facts of London and Paris and being quizzed at the end.
