Melville Intermediate - Acitivity Week Recont Douglas

On Wednesday the 14^th was the start of activity week. On Wednesday morning I first went to the science room so we can start the day. Wednesday morning I had amazing race. The 1^st activity on amazing race was I had to go to the other side of the tech courts on stilts. For some reason I got the broken pair of stilts. The 2^nd activity was we had to eat and swallow dried weetbix it was very hard to swallow. The 3^rd activity of amazing race was we had to build a pyramid out of cards it was hard because I kept on blowing on it. And the last activity (bonus) was we had to walk across the tech courts as we are on news paper if we touched the ground with our feet we have to run back to the start. In the middle block I had to do some experiments. The first experiment was to pure in milk into a bowl and then put food coloring in and then get a ear bud then dip it into some dishwashing liquid then I had to put the ear bud into the center of the bowl and then it did some cool patterns. The 2^nd experiment was we had to put mint into coke. It was very cool and yum. When we finished the experiment I got to drink the minty coke and get to eat the mint. The 3^rd experiment was we had to make a traffic light made out of liquid. It was weird and fun and smelly it smelt like corn. In the after noon I went to the cooking room and made some hokey pokey it was super yum and I just figured out how to make hokey pokey.

On Thursday I went to my activity week class and we first had free time we went to the computer lab and I was allowed to played games or watched funny videos. In the middle block I made salt dough (play dough) and my salt dough was a pizza. It felt icky and sticky and it was fun making a pizza. First I mad the base of the pizza then I made the pepperoni, mushroom and the bacon strips. In the afternoon we went to the pools and it was very fun and wet.

On Friday morning we had to make a yummy breakfast. Before we made the breakfast we had to go to the art room and get our salt dough. When we got the salt dough we went to the cooking room and put the salt dough in the oven and wait for it to heat up. The food we got was 2 sausages 2 hash browns 1 small egg and a half a can of spaghetti it was super duper yum. In the middle block we got our salt dough and it was very hard then we started to paint it. I painted my pizza base yellowy red my bacon strips was pink my mushroom was light gray and my pepperoni was red. After a while the paint dried when the lunch bell rang. In the afternoon we had a movie and it was diary of a wimp kid.         

Melville Intermediate - PrEP Recount Douglas

On the start of PrEP (Primary Enterprise Program, our Schools Market Day - Mr Webb) we didn't sell anything so we had to drop the price of our items to twenty MiSMs (Melville Intermediate School Money).  Our first customer then brought one of our wind instruments.  After time lots of our wind instruments were bought by our customers.  We had only 11 instruments left.  When it was five o'clock we dropped the price further to 15 MISMs.   Later on lots and lots of customers came and brought almost all of our wind instruments.  When all of the customers had left we only had two instruments left and Nathan H's Mum brought one of those.  I had been demonstrating the instruments by spinning them, I got tired of spinning the instrument so I went and bought a slushy and I got a free sherbert from my mate.   After that I went on to the Haunted House and I got a free slime.   When I came out of the Haunted House I went back to my business.  When I came back I saw Deighton's Dad buy the last one.  After we were sold out I started watching some guys play some Ps2 games.
