If i was on a boat in the pacific ocean and I knew I would be there for weeks. I would bring these 10 of foods. I choose these items, because they last a while without expiring. Also because I've got some breakfast, lunch (Snacks) and dinner kind of foods!

Kindness is never wasted.

Today, my teacher read an Aseop to the class. The story was about a lion and a mouse. From this story, I learnt that you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover. Meaning that you shouldn't judge someone from their appearance or  just because they are small.

Life education!

Through out this week, Life education came to Wesley Intermediate, my class and I went in the Life education caravan. Michelle (The instructor) was teaching us about the brain. I learnt a lot of new things like the back of your brain helps you see, so if you hurt that part of your brain you get be blind. 

I also learnt that, there are two parts of your brain. The downstairs , and the upstairs of your brain.  The downstairs is like the part where your emotions are, and the upstairs is where like your thinking brain is.  I learnt lots of stuff that I never knew before, I enjoyed it while it lasted. Blog you later!
