Summer Learning Journey: Week 2, Day 5, Activity 1

For day 5 of my Summer Learning Journey, I had to read on how to say hello and ask for directions to a hotel. This is my short poem on how I felt at the airport in a foreign country, whether I was feeling happy, sad, scared or lonely...

 

I spun around in confusion

Looking for something familiar

The words I had studied forgotten

Not a syllable remembered

 

Speaking gibberish to the locals

Making them as confused as me

I wish I was at a place I know

Where I know everything like the back of my hand

I wish for this madness to end!

 

(I have chosen confused as my emotion)

Science at TC

On Friday for the last 2 weeks we have stayed back after Tech to do science with Tamaki college relating to our topic, which is simple machines. Our project/assignment is to make a rover that can scramble 3 metres using only the materials we were given.

Working with my critical friend

Today I worked with Latham to find out where my writing is at on the writing rubric. First we did Latham's one. The highest mark he got was a R6 for organisation. When we checked my one I got the same for organisation as him.
