Melville Intermediate - Activity Week Sarah 2012

 Our final written task of 2012 was for students to complete recounts about school activity week and the highlights of the year.  This is an activity week recount written by Sarah from room Five.

On Wednesday the 14^th of November our school had activity week. I was in Wax Water Wings with my friends Gemma and Kylie. It was called Wax Water Wings because Wax was candle making, Water was swimming and Wings was kite flying but we didn’t do it.

  

On the first day, we came to school in mufti which was good. We made some candles out of bees wax and wick. Wick is the string thing that goes inside the candle so it can be lit. The candles smelt like honey so that was good, after lunch we went to Gallagher pools where we got to swim and have free time. I liked swimming, and it was a really quick walk. 

It was really fun on that day because we got to play at school so we could play by the music room. On the second day we got to swim for most of that day so that was really awesome. We still made candles and played. At the pools Kylie, Gemma and I were swimming around having so much fun it was really cool.

 On the last day it was my birthday so that was cool it was like I was having a birthday party at the pools. When we were at the pools we were in the changing rooms and we saw something really gross so we all screamed and we got in big trouble, so that was bad. It was still a really awesome activity and I really enjoyed it. When it was the end of the day we got to take home some wick and a big sheet of wax which was cool. At home I still make lots of candles and I used some for my birthday candles. It was really fun and I would like to do it again!!

Melville Intermediate - PrEP Recount from Sarah

On Friday the 26th of October our school had PrEP Market Day. It went from 4:00pm and ended at 6:00pm.  Everyone in the school was in groups and they had their own stalls or shops.  Out group did a haunted house and it was called 'Scarey Movie'.  In our PrEP group we had Rose, Kylie and I.  It was 25 MiSMs to get in which stands for Melville Intermediate School Money.  That included gloop or slime and a chocolate lolly or lollipop.  Many people came to our haunted house and some were really scared but others just thought it was funny or stupid.  Some people thought we were just going to be watching a movie because of the name 'Scary Movie'.  One person was so scared that she punched Kylie on the arm!  When we went on our break we bought lots of things, some were really kind of expensive which was sad.  I had 50 MiSMs which was the same as ten dollars.  I spent it all on lollies and a book that broke so that was annoying but I fixed it.  When we got back to our Haunted House so many people wanted to get it that it was crazy.  They were giving us MiSMs but we couldn't take them because Rose still wasn't back so lots of them left.   When Rose got back lots of people came back and when they went into our Haunted House they scared us more than we scared them which was kind of funny.  It was really long and tiring day but it was still really, really fun! I still didn't like that the Year Seven's got to do it but it was still really cool.  At the end of the day we had 495 MiSMs which people had paid to get in which was really good, and we weren't expecting PrEP to be as fun as it was.

Melville Intermediate - Sarah write about One Direction

At the beginning of the year Kylie, Rose and I were all in the same class room 5. Kylie knew a lot of people as did I but Rose hardly knew anyone she only knew me, Joey and Ryan. She decided she would sit next to me and so did Kylie. As we were working I began to hum the tune of the song ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ by One direction. “Hey Sarah what song is that again?” Kylie asked with Eager “It’s What Makes You Beautiful” I cried with joy. “Oh yeah I’ve heard of them before” Rose announced “They’re that boy band, yeah they’re pretty cool”. We all sat there thinking of One direction. The following day’s we sang WMYB our singing became more irritating and the other student’s became more hatred towards us. Week’s past and we had mastered their first and last name’s soon we moved on to their middle name’s which were a bit harder. Boy’s Full name: Harold/Harry Edward Styles, Zain/Zayn Jawaad Malik, Louis William Tomlinson, Niall James Horan, and let’s not forget Liam James Payne. Soon we knew them in and out. Like their whole life was on the back of our hands. Months past and we were like the hated people in school “One direction freak’s” Some would say but that’s nothing compared to what others would call us. That didn’t stop us from loving them though we carried on showing more love for them. Our obsession for them grew bigger and bigger…A few months later in July we yes we got the experience of a life time we got to Skype the one and only ‘ONE DIRECTION’ It was the greatest day of mine Roses, and Kylie’s life. It was a 40 minute chat with them it was just an amaZAYN no phenomiNIALL day. They are just fabuLOUIS guys the most brilLiam a girl could ever meet. Our chat with them was extraordinHARRY!! When we finished we were so happy and ahhh Louis called me Love.  When we went back to school  3 day’s after we Skyped with them we were so happy because we could tell everyone that hated us that we got to Skype with them everyone was gobsmacked. I am a directioner and I love one direction along with my friend’s.
