My Bloggie

About three weeks ago at school we had a week called 8 Alive. This is a week where all the year 8 students get to have free dress and we do activities to find out about ourselves. Throughout the 8 Alive week we did journal writing, we decorated material squares with something that means something to us (such as our family or hobby), we played getting to know you games, and learned about our background of our family ancestors and we went to the Victorian market.

The most enjoyable activity for me was going to the Victorian market. This was fun because we got to buy our own food for lunch and buy things for ourselves. I enjoyed talking to some of the stall owners and finding out things that i didn’t know about their foods. 8 Alive was really good week of activities.

Today in class we started to watch a movie called “Fly Away Home”. When I first heard the name of the movie I thought it could be about birds and the different migration routes the take. I have really liked the movie so far, I think it is very realistic and interesting. It would be really cool if you found goose eggs and could look after them and teach them. The movie is about a teenage girl who has just lost her mother, and goes to live with her father who she hasn’t seen since she was born. While living with her father she finds 12 geese eggs which she cares, loves, teaches and looks after. The only problem is the geese are suppose to be migrating in a couple of weeks. This is a problem because the geese have imprinted on the girl and do what ever she does. The girl and the dad work together to try and teach the geese to fly. The time finally comes to let the geese fly south; with all the other geese and the geese don’t fly. So the dad and daughter fly with the geese in gliders south in the migration.
