The Freedom Writers

 For the last three days in English my class and another class have been watching the movie The Freedom Writers. The movie is a teacher and the students in her class. Over the time of two years the teacher takes her students and gives them chances and experiences that they have never had before. The teacher brings all of the people in the class together so that they all know each other and no longer have any problems with each other.

At the start of the movie when everyone has just started a lot of the kids had problems with each other and a lot of them would not even turn up for a while. Once the teacher finally figured out there issues she gave them all books for them to write anything in. 

I like the fact that even when the teacher was running low on money and when no one agreed with her she just kept on going by getting more jobs to pay for trips and she never gave up on her students even if they did not want anything to do with her.

International Women's Day

 Last week we were given the task from our teacher to look through a slide and pick a task to do which evolved international women day. I picked the task where I have to make a poster and include some information that was given to us about international women's day. 

Free School Lunches

At the start of this week my school started to make free school lunches for everyone in the school. The reason we get this food is because of all of the staff that work in the cafe. Every day we get a different meal starting Monday-Friday. This week on Monday we had Pita Bread Pizza which could be meat lovers or vegetarian, and it came with a brownie and a peace of fruit.

On Tuesday we had a roll which had either chicken or hummus and egg, it also came with some popcorn and a peace of fruit.

On Wednesday we had pasta salad with roast vegetables with either chicken or falafel, it also came with corn chips and a peace of fruit.

On Thursday we had a sandwich with salad and slaw as well as a peace of slice and some fruit. 

And on Friday we are having a Rice Buddha Bowl with slaw and either chicken tenders or falafel which comes with peace of fruit.

It was uncomfortable because it feels weird to be sitting with other people that you don't know that well. I think that the food has been really good and that the people who work in the cafe are doing a really good job. The one that I liked the most so far is the Meat Lovers Pita Bread Pizza. I liked it the most so far because it had lots of flavour. 

Wananga Emotions

 For the last couple of weeks in Wananga we have been focusing on our Emotions. We have been learning that your emotions come from your thoughts and sometimes your mind will just try to trick you by making you worry about something but then their is nothing to worry about. A couple of the quotes we read were "Emotions aren't good or bad. They are messengers". Another is "You don't have to be at your lowest to ask for help".
