MADD diary

Today 1st of April Petia came by himself for our MADD workshop. Our focus today was Talents. Talent is what you are born with and skills is what you learn. Petia talked about Sonny Bill Williams and how he is always working on his talents. You need to spend 10,000 hours to master a talent.

Today I learnt that what ever talent you have you have, just make the best and play when ever you got the opportunity to. I also learnt that when you make mistakes you learn from it and get better.

WALT: We are learning to write a Recount.

On Monday the 9th of March 2015 Glenbrae school had an exciting trip to Butterfly Creek.The trip was for Rooms 10 and 9. We left at 9:00 am and probably got there by 10:00am. We went their to learn about dinosaurs.  

We quickly got off from the bus, headed inside and we had our morning tea. After having a tasty morning tea we were instructed about our time table for the day. First we went to the train ride which was really cool, to see all the different dinosaurs standing there.Then we moved on to the farm where we could hold and pat the Bunnies, Goat and Mila the dog.

Later we moved on to the next room which had two Crocadiles named Scar and Goldie. They were in two seperate rooms away  from each other. Straight after that we had lunch at about 12:55 pm and ended at 12:45 pm , so from there our instructor took us for the 1:00 pm Crockadile show where Scar and some trained keepers were showed us some of Scars abilities of what he can do.

After that we got the chance to see a real life Turanchula then finished off by me saying thank you to the instructors.

That was very fun and exhausting trip. The farm was my favourite part of the day.  I would really like go there again.
