How atheletics went for me.
What did you like?
There were a few errors in the event. Teacher not telling us where to go and most of us were confused but in the end it went well. Most of the food stalls were selling good and yummy products.
What could have been better?
Reminding the homeroom teachers to tell what are the events for the students.
Results over the term:
I got an average score for most of my selected tracks.

Another topic
Hussain Khan’s indentured labour of children. Many of Hussain Khan’s labourers
are children. The reason for this is, kids are easy to maintain. First, they would
eat less than adults, making Hussain Khan’s cost for buying food products would
be less. Second, kids are easy to overpower making them scared to defy the
owner’s command. Lastly, their small delicate hands will work perfectly for the
carpet making. Hussain Khan has many other ways to make his economy become
much better with a horrifying side effect.

Restart.. Mathletics!
This week for maths we get to do mathletics that will eventually help people from other countries to get better education. Every 250,000 points in mathletics is 1 dollar that the Mathletics donate to the people in Africa. We had to complete a series of task including things that were not familiar. We eventually got this barricaded problems with the help of our teacher. We each earned a thousand points for the contribution.

The end of Critical Literacy =(
Group work- Critical text analysis
I am currently learning how to identify the text/video in details by using the Critical Literacy Questions (CLQ).
I used four of the CLQ to show my better understandings of the music video called (Big Girls Cry) by Sia.
I wondered many views of point on how to answer each questions and relate it to the situations in life.
