Today is the last day of the October School Holidays . Term 4 will be good though, with the ‘Fun Day’, Talent Show, Reward Day, Presentation, Farewell, My fave sub for the first four weeks! I also have lots of fun AG excursions and of course AG presentation .

As you know I go to the Woolongong Academically Gifted class regularly every Thursday. Well last Thursday (3-12-09) was the last AG of 2009 and to celebrate  there were many exciting things we did. First was the actual presentation, parents and friends of AG participants were there and we all got certificates and year books followed by morning tea. After all the adults had left we went on a bus to a pizza restaurant where we all enjoyed pizza and ice-cream then we went to the botanical gardens and played around there. At the end we all said ‘good bye’ for the last time knowing it was probably the last time we would see each other.

This year I am in an academically gifted class (A.G.), and yesterday we went on an excursion. It was at the Conservatorium of music and we learned about Jazz and made music on a computer. We had a long recess and then went inside to have a lecture on Sir Isac Newton. We then had a short lunch, inside (it was raining ‘cats and dogs’). At 1:00 we went on a tour of Glenefer Brae. To conclude our day we were taught how man came across movies and how they developed into the films we see today.
