Hey Everyone!
How ya been?!?
I'm having an awesome time at college and I see that the year 7s and 8s are doing German at St Bens! Why couldn't we do that last year! I'm now doing it for full year at college. Does anyone know what
Wie heißt du?
means?
All you year 7 and 8s should reply AND the Bolgers too!
Love from Hannah!

Passion Project Success
Frances and I had a lot of fun taking pictures of different plants from different angles. Frances and I planned to take photos of close ups and landscapes but we soon found out that we couldn't do landscapes because there weren't any options for taking pictures of landscapes.
I really loved the photos of the flowers as there was lots of different textures in a flower that we never took any notice to. I actually worked out how to take better pictures that weren't blurred or not against the light properly. I worked out that you don't take a picture with the plant full on your view and the sun in the background as the sun over takes the picture. A cool effect is if you put your camera on the ground and take a picture from that level. It looks like you are taking a picture from a little bug or birds point of view. As you can probably tell, I learn't a lot of different skills.
I guess this project worked out and I really enjoyed it. We never got to make a powerpoint with all the different flowers and pictures that we took. I also plan to print one of the pictures specially on a canvas for a christmas present.
One thing that might of gone wrong was that the documents did something weird and we might of lost our pictures. Frances's and my teamwork together was really good. We never tried to steal the camera off each other, we took turns we the camera and on each flower. Credit to Frances!
I think if we did a passion project next year, I would want the teachers to choose each group a overall topic which they would enjoy doing and we could nail it down to one part of the subject. For example, you wouldn't give some minecraft hater minecraft for their project. At first, Frances and I couldn't think of anything to do because we both love swimming but we can't really go to the pool every friday and teach people how to swim. I would recommend that the teachers make a roster on who can be on the laptops and computers because some people get to go on every week and others don't. They also need to make a roster because the laptops stuff up when to many people are on.
I hope I can get my photos on canvas and give them to my family for christmas. I will add some of the pictures that Frances and I took as soon as I can!

My Speech (Australia vs New Zealand)
My speech was on Australia vs New Zealand and explained the differences.
I think my speech went quite well (at least what the audience was saying.)
My speech was good as it had good language and I hope I had a clear voice. I had a tiny bit of humour in it which hopefully cheered the audience up a bit.
I think I could improve my speech by not showing that I was scared and worried about saying it. I could probably warm up myself and try and put more enthusiasm into my speaking.

Maths Against Hannah!
I think I am overall quite good in Maths but I think my top 5 areas of maths are:
1. Working Form (Add, Subtract, Divide and Multiply)
2. Area of triangles, circles and other shapes.
3. Working with Graphs and knowing what they mean.
4. Making Fractions into decimals into percentages.
5. Adding and Subtracting Fractions.
I might need to get a bit of work on:
1. Finding a Fraction on a number (I can do it but very slowly.) e.g 4/5 of 20 = 16
2. Find the number that has been split, e.g 1/5 of __= 6
Can anyone help?

Holidays
In the Holidays, I had a boring first week and had a couple of sleepovers. On the second Wednesday of the holidays, I went to Bribane, Australia for a week and we went to Australia Zoo and patted some awesome animals there. We stayed at the Gold Coast and did some awesome shopping and brought an outfit.
For the last part of the week, we went to Movie World, Sea World and Wet 'n' Wild. Movie World had some awesome rides including Green Lantern, Arkham Asylum and the Scooby Doo Scary Ride. Movie World had a lot of awesome characters we got to meet like the Green Lantern, Batman, Wonder Women and the Scooby Doo Crew. Sea World had some amazing dolphin shows and jet stunts shows. I loved the Sea Viper and Jet Racer which had speeds up to 80km per hour. Wet 'n' Wild had the best hydroslides I've seen. They were long and freaky but the tornado was scariest as it felt like you were falling back vertical. I had a couple of racers with my family down some slides with mats which I nearly won on.
I can't wait until i will be able to back to Australia sometime soon!

Passion Project Ideas
I was stumped when I was told we had to do a passion project. I wanted to do something on swimming or models but I couldn't think of anything. I thought of an idea for a hydroslide as a model but I finally chose photography. I am working with Frances and we are going to take pictures of close ups and landscapes.
