My Media Graphic

We were learning about what is real and what is fake, and how to tell if something is real or fake.

I found it easy to think of a famous person to do my quote on, so I chose the legend himself, Stan Lee.

I found it hard to find a good quote to use because there are so many, so I went with "Sooner Or Later, If A Man Is Ever To Be Worthy Of His Destiny, We Must Fill Our Hearts With Tolerance"

Next time I will try a bit more to blend the picture of my hero into the background a bit, so it looks a bit more real.

Athletics Day Reflection.

 I Loved the athletics day. My favourite part was the long jump, and the ball throw. I think I could of practiced a bit at my house, and put more effort into my practice. I was feeling quite confident on some of the things, but some other things just weren't my thing. I was very happy to see lots of my friends get their rewards, because they all earned it. Next time I should try more harder to do the scissor kick at the high jump, and to aim a bit better on the ball throw. I was never really interested in athletics before, now I've grown into it a bit. I am very excited to do athletics next year.
