Today was my first day of Galileo, taught by Mr.Newton. At the start of the lesson Mr. Newton explained what Galileo was all about, he explained what we would be doing through-out the year also, I made an account on wikispaces and made my wall, which includes information about me. Things that I didn't paticually like about this session was that I had a lot of trouble with the computer and creating my account on wikispaces. Next week we are going on a trail I can't wait!

Today's Galileo session was pretty boring. We were meant to go on our first trail but Mr. Newton cancelled it because some people didn't do their homework, not me i did mine. So instead we started on our assignment //cites of the world.// I found loads of articles about different cities in the world and started finding information on those cities. Next week we are meant to go on the trail that we were meant to go on today, I hope we will, I don't want to wait another week beacause of other people!

Today we had our first trail. In my group I had Temisan, Rebecca and Jane and our area was area c. In this trail we had to find 4 landmarks in our area and research them. Our 4 landmarks that we chose were the immigration museum, a sculpture, the oldest jewellery store in Australia and a famous building. I really liked today's lesson it was very enjoyable. One thing I didn't like about this lesson was that we only had an hour to find our four landmarks, I would of liked a bit more time to actually look. I don't know what we are doing next week but I hope it will be just as fun!

Today we just stayed at school. First of all we finished our power point presentation and then we went on to continue with our assignment cities of the world. Today was a bit boring but I did get alot done on my cities of the world assignment. Next week we are staying at school again but we are going to be presenting our presentation and planning our trail for the week after. I am dreading the presentation because I am not very good at public speaking.

__** 7/3/2012 **__ Today we had to present our powerpoints to the class. My group presented 3rd because we are group C and well I don't think that it went so well. I thought I talked really fast and didn't say much and also I think I read to much off the screen, so I have a feeling that I might of let my group down just a little bit but then again I can't change it now so what's the point on dwelling on it. After the whole presented their presentations we worked on our assignment Cities Of The World. I am progressing quite alot on this assignment but I still have alot of workto do. Next week we are going to the immigration museum as part of our next assignment I can't wait.

Today we went to the Melbourne museum instead of the Immigration Musuem. We walked all the way their which was about a 20 minute walk. Once we got their we had to go to a special exhibition to take notes for our next assignment. I finished taking all of the notes and pictures that I had to a little bit earlier so I got to explore the exhbition a little bit more which was good because I found out a few things that I didn't know before which was good. After everyone had finished what they were meant to do we walked all the way back to school. I don't know what we are doing next week but I'm pretty sure that it will have something to do with the notes we took at the Melbourne Museum.

Today we got put in groups for our next assignment. In my group there is Sumayah, Mia, Josh, Jas. We had to decide on what we would do for assignment. At first we had some trouble on deciding on what to do but we finally decided to voulenteer at the Collingwood Childrens Farm. First we had to contact them to see if we were able to volenteer and how we would be able to volenteer. They told us that we had to send them a expression of interest email and then they would get back to us with the details. So therefore we then proceeded to write an email with our contact details and now all we have to do is just wait and see.

Today we learnt how to write a Resume and cover letter. We learnt what types of things go in a resume such as where you attend school, your work experience and your referees. we also learnt what the cover letter is for like telling the employer about your personality and why you should get the job. At the end of the lesson we had to hand in our resumes to Mr. Newton to get marked and I have a feeling that I will get a good mark because I put alot of effort into mine.

Today we went to the Immigration Museum with Dr.Benson because Mr. Newton was asn't ableto go. Before we went to the Immigration Museum we had to get into our groups that we have for our assignment and fill out a work sheet. Then we took the tram and walked to the Museum. In the Immigration Museum we went to a special exhibert and finished filling out the worksheet from the information we got from the movies and other stories there. I completed my worksheet before we had leave so I had some spare time to read more about immigration in Australia.Then at the end we walked and took the tram back to school.
