My English Blog

In English we had been reading a book called Alex. The first half of the book was really boring but the second half was really good. Alex is about a girl who is trying to get into the Rome Olympics in 1960. At first she had no competition until Maggie came along. Maggie is a faster swimmer than Alex Causing Alex to work hard to be able to go to Rome. I have finished reading the book and I really enjoyed it.

During the last to weeks we did 8 Alive. During 8 Alive we went to Ceres in East Brunswick. There we made recycled paper and did activities on the amount of water we use and waste that we dispose of. We also had an Indian women tell us about India. We had henna drawn on our hands and a Bindi put in the middle of our eyebrows. During the week we also did journal writing, played board games and painted a Mural. We also went to a rock climbing centre in Bayswater and that was really fun.
Last week we had two women from ”Girls Talk” come and do a play on girls’ issues. They included boys, teenage pregnancies, drugs and alcohol and lots more. It was really funny and I really enjoyed it.
