Polystyrene Homework Challenge

            

How did you get your idea?	Who helped you?	What was the process - how did you make it?	What did you think of your end product?	When you looked at everyone else’s, which ones did you like and why?
I got the idea by looking around the house and thinking of what things I like and then I had chosen to do it on TSUM TSUM squishies.	No one helped me because it was my homework and I wanted to do it on my own, but the only thing that I got help with was getting the equipment.	First I  had a plain white cylinder polystyrene and then Mum and I went to the warehouse to buy some things that I could use to decorate my polystyrene. After I bought some stuff for it, I set up our table so it was ready for when I started to paint the polystyrene. While the paint was drying I started to draw some TSUM TSUM to stick on the polystyrene. After I had finished my drawing’s and my paint had dried I got some little minnie pegs to hang my drawings on. When I had finished sticking all the drawings on I decorated the top of the polystyrene with some letters that spelt TSUM TSUM.	I am really proud of what I have done because I didn’t get any help to do it and that I had finished.	Summer’s one because she did hers about our farm and it has my cat (Smokey) on it.

My Cross Country Recount

How did I go?	How did I feel?	How did I training contribute to your performance?
For cross country I got 11th.	I feel proud because I participated in cross country and didn’t come last.	For me it helped me with my fitness for cross country and I barely stopped.

What is my speech about?	Why did I chose the topic?	Was it easy or hard to write and research my topic?	Did I change my topic?	How am I feeling about presenting my speech to my home room?	What do you think is the hardest part of presenting and writing a speech?
This year my speech is about the history of chocolate.	The reason why I chose the topic is because when I looked on a website to see what ideas I could do my speech on, one of them was the history of chocolate, and when I saw it I wanted to learn about it and then share it to everybody so they can learn about as well.	For my writing the speech was hard because I was looking on different websites and they had the complete opposite facts on them.	For my speech I changed it twice because one of them I didn’t really like and the other one was too hard to research.	I am feeling a bit nervous because I don’t really like speaking to a lot of people and I am a bit shy.	For me the hardest thing is having the right time and saying it clearly and not to fast.
