Week 1 Term 2

It's Term 2 already!  This year is already off to an incredible start, and I can't wait for more exciting opportunities.

I had the Lit Quiz on Tuesday which was quite an interesting experience, there were some VERY competitive teams there.  The Lit Quiz was held at Southwell School, and there was about 45 teams there.  Most schools had two teams, but some had one.  There were ten different categories and each team chose a category that they wanted to aim for double points in.  My team chose books into movies, and it was a good choice.  Our other intermediate team chose hero's as their category, but when the questions started I think they realized that it wasn't the kind of hero's they were thinking of.

I trialed for the Jump Jam competition team on Wednesday, which was lots of fun.  My friend Caitlyn trial with me, and I think we did pretty well at our audition because I made it into the call backs!  I'm really excited for what happens next and hope I can get into the actual team because that would be very exciting!  Even if I don't get in I don't mind because I  just really like Jump Jam, and we still do Jump Jam every week, and I can also go to fun Jump Jam at lunch times.

On Thursday I had computer coding.  In my group it's only girls, and we just started on Thursday.  We use a program called Scratch, and it's quite fun to experiment with all the different things you can do.  We watched a couple of videos to explain how to do some stuff like making waves move, putting characters in the boat, and making them talk.  It was a bit hard at first, but once we got the hang of it it was really fun.
