Dear Mr Hendricks

Room 7 and 8 are planning to organize a mini olympics for the senior part of the school without the teachers. I have some strong reasons why we should be given the chance to organize it ourselves and hopefully at the end you will agree.

To begin with, if we are to organize the mini olympics, it would give us a chance to communicate with each other and also use teamwork. By doing this instead of just one person doing the job we can all work together and set up something fun which everyone would enjoy.

Secondly the teachers don’t know what kind of sports we would like to play. They might choose soccer and when it comes to playing the game everyone gets bored because they want to play something else like volleyball.

Finally Leadership is a huge responsibility. So if we do this job we are able to practise our leadership skills, and prove that we can organize something without the teachers.

Therefore I strongly believe that the year 7 and 8 students should be given the opportunity to organize a mini olympics for the senior part of the school.

Your Sincerely

Jenascia

Angles

Today I have completed this game about angles. I had to try and rescue as many aliens as I could by putting the arrow as close to angle that was given to me. I think this game was challenging because I had to guess where to put the angle without the protractor and to me that was a bit hard. At the end of this game a was able to save 4 aliens.
