Critical Litiricey

What aspects of stories was she (Andrea)  interested in? That Girls should be more worried about how the a pair than how good they are at math's. Don't take things at face value and look for the hidden message.

What did the ad imply with the big diamond ring? That if you buy you wife or girlfriend a massive diamond ring you love her but when you done buy her one you don't love her.

What is subtext? The little girl with here fancy clothing is at school and i know that because Andrea is talking about how she is more worried about how she looks like then her math.

With CL, can each student have their own answer? Yes because we all have different options and cl is about having different answers.

What does Andrea compare CL to? wonder women and her golden lasso you can trough it out and get back what you need.

How can CL be applied to your life outside of school? because you could not be critical and do something dumb and gt yourself into a lot of trouble.

  1. What am I learning? I am learning to be more critical about what i am learning.
  2. how does this work show my learning? Because I have put them into more depth.
  3. what am i wondering? I am wondering why are they so feminist.

My school trip to Adrenalin forest/Spencer park

Adrenalin forest
November 30, 2018
On the 29 of November we went to the Adrenalin forest/Spencer park for a school trip. When we got there we go put into 2 groups I was in group 1. Group 1 went to the Adrenalin forest first and group 2 went to Spencer park. We put our harries  on and did a safety guide.
I looked at the course and I said in my head this looks easy. When I was doing stage one and two I thought it was the best day of my life but when I got to stage 3 I was scared and panicking I was so scared I thought my harries was going to break and I was going to full but Andy my Partner pushed me thought the course and got me to stage 5. I couldn't do stage five because I was too short to reach the rope and I was scared.
Lunch arrived.
After we ate lunch the groups swiped activities. When we arrive to Spencer park we got told our boundaries and what we can't do. Me and Andy got some cones and set up a square and played hauled  on the volleyball sand pit. We were playing hauled then we got asked if we wanted to play volleyball and we said sure we packed up and played volleyball for 10/15 minutes I got a little board of volleyball and I went to go play basketball we played for 10 minutes and we got told we are leaving so we all got into the bus and left Spencer park.
When we got into the bus we ate lollies and talked. After we talked I fell asleep in the bus. My friend Ruby took photos of me sleeping. It thought it was pretty weird but she is my best friend.when I woke up we were at school and we had a debrief and got to go home.
I thought the trip was one of the best days of school because I got to see my friend succeed and reach the end and I got out of my comfort zone and pushed myself and found out we're I stop on the course other than that it was and awesome day.

5+ tips on how to be safe on/in the water

Today I will be helping you guys how to be safe on the water because some people drowned when there sail boating  because they don't know how to be safe or how to swim or they don't have a life jacket.

  • First you need to know how to control you sail boat so when you practice to sail you should try it on land first to get the feel for it then you should practice in a pool or some were that is calm like a lake.
  • Practice how to flip the sail boad back up so when you are in the water you can get back in
  • When you get your sail boat study all the parts so when you are I the water you know what the parts do and what u need to do with them.
  • You need to know how to go faster and how to slow down
  • make sure you have an adult in you sail or someone who know some what a little bit about a sail boat.
  • When you are on the water on in the water be confident because if you are shaking and scared you have a high chance of tipping your sail boat.
  • Were a life jacket because they help you float when you are in the water if you tip.
  • When you tip don't panic because you will hyperventilate and it will be hard to breath because the life jacket needs to be tight or it will just slip off and then you will have lot of more problems.

Commitment, How i think of it.

For this term of Kete were are focusing on commitment Because it is one of our values.
last term we did respect for the same reason.

The question is... ("what does commitment mean to me")

What does commitment means  to me (in my eyes commitment looks like)

  • When you start something you finish it even if it is to hard.
  • When someone says there going to do something I want them to live up to what they said and do it right away and not say they will do it later.
  •  Try stay focused on your work at all times or I wont finish it because I am talking, but if i am focused I will get it finished.
  •  Try commit to my values.
  • Commit to my school work.
  • Commit to coming to school and not bunking.
  • Commit to having a good attached to my teacher.

My holiday

On the very first day of the holidays I got home and changed out of my uniform, The first thing i did was grabbed my phone and messaged my brother. The message said "Hey what are you doing wright now can i stay at your house tonight?" he replayed saying "I am doing nothing just jamming Fortnite i will be on my way soon get your stuff ready" i waited for about 25 minutes and them he arrived, I jumped into his car and of we went. All we did at his house was playing fortnight for hours Thats all i did for the first week. Then i went back home on Monday and then i played more Fortnite until Thursday when black ops 4 was coming out my brother said ill pick you up and we can play he come to my house we then picked the game up and downloaded it to his PS4, the download was 50gb, but luckily we could play a battler royal mode called black out. We played black out the for three days on Saturday we went to the pools and on Sunday i played more fortnite.

Dear Mr Sutton

You have made a good looking uniform for us pupils to wear proudly, we can walk home in our uniform we can do alot
of things with people seeing our cress and not having to worry about them coming up to us saying anything bad about
our school. The colours you have chosen for our uniform is awesome because with  black leather shoes and dark
blue socks and with the dark blue shorts/pant and a light blue T-shirt with the hornby high cress on it looks amazing,
however….

I have a problem to address to you, I find it hard to always have my uniform because I have one pair of shorts for
school, and I have a lot of black pants. I think that black pants should be part of our uniform because on Mondays
some kids stress because they cant find their school shorts when they have black pants sitting there. It would be
nice to be able to wear just any pants that are black because they are cheaper and easy to find.

It's awesome that we have school shoes but if we don't wear the right shoes they get taken off us and if we don't get
them back they give them to the sallies  but we don't get them back because we forget to go back and get them. But
the school shoes we have to wear are like $25/30 when you can get running shoes because they are cheaper and
better shoes for $10. This is a big problem because some kids have to have holes in there shoes for weeks because
their family have to use the money to pay bills and only have money for food so if we could wear any other
 shoes it would be awesome and helpful to others.
I personally think that we should be able do to wear pants and any pair of shoes because it is cost less and you can
wear them anywhere. I understand we have to wear school uniform and I am trying to make it cheaper for some
people that can't always afford the correct uniform. I would like to Reassure you that I would still gladly wear my
uniform in pride

I look forward to your reply.

Sincerely Jack
