I decided to do some angel wings with a halo in the middle of the that looked a little bit like this... We were going to do stain glass art work but we had no glass for the art to set on and so we just did it on paper but that was fun to until... on Friday when i wasn't here and everyone got to finish their art work except for me and so when i got back on Monday when everyone had finished their art i was just starting and i almost got the hole thing done and then before lunch i forgot to put it away and so when i came back from lunch it was gone and i have started a new piece but it's not as good or joyful as the last one but something is better than nothing at all so i guess i'm luckier than some.

In our hub we had something we called Tic Tac Toe writing where we had to complete three task's on a bingo card. And I was proud because I got the three task's done fast and done well

What a day it was the coldest day for athletics and it was the best we ran fearlessly against the cold damp icy wind as the rain drops ran down my top coursing me to shiver as if i had a spider crawling up the backs of my legs.

This year in Term 1 I shared my treasures with my homebase. We shared them because in P.B.L we are focusing on who we  really are and about sharing our stories. We also did family trees to go with P.B.L. If you are wondering what P.B.L stands for, it is project based learning and this is when you focus on a specific question for the term. What are your treasures? My auntie Jan was one of my treasures and she is super important. I loved her, sadly she passed away at the end of last year 2017 and she had been fighting for her life for 2 years. She had chemotherapy and lived at home. Then she got really bad and the tumor grew and she couldn't stay at home by herself any more. My my second treasure was my sister and she is important to me because she's my sister. I can go to her for everything in the world and she is always with me so yeah she's one of my treasures. What are your treasures?
