The Birth Of Our King


     What I enjoyed: painting and blending the background.
What I found difficult:  I lost my original silhouette, so I had to make and cut another one and rushed it.
Luke 2:7 "And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them."

The first activity we did was the aero jump.
Our second activity was the flying fox. i was really worried i'd fall.
the adults and staff told us that the water slide would be open,
so then people changed into their togs and went down the water slide.

Cryptids

In our last term of school, we have been planning and creating picture books. we've made them in slide and printed them, the books were then stapled together.
What I found difficult: using cryptids that weren't as terrifying.
What I could do next time: Add more slides and lengthen my story.

Bullfighting

Should Bullfighting be banned?

I think that bullfighting should be banned, It's a cruel sport and shouldn't use their funds for raising bulls and killing them. Here are my reasons.


Each year, 250,000 bulls are killed from this sport, these bulls are being killed for entertainment and money. Only a minority of Spaniards have interest in bullfighting

Another reason is that these bulls are tormented & chased until they can hardly breathe,  tied up  and stabbed, puncturing their hearts. This is very inhumane and cruel, bulls should only have a peaceful lives.


Suitcase list

Suitcase List:
1. Phone
2. Shirt
3. Pants
4. Pair of Shoes
5. PC e.g Laptop
6. Sunscreen
7. Entertainment/Book/Games
8. Any medication
9. Socks
10. Snacks

What will the weather be like today in Mexico City?
22°C Sunny
