Joshua's+Reflection

=//**__Reflection__**//= //**__8/2/2012__**// Today we just started to have lesson with Mr. Rob Newton for Galileo. It was for 3 periods and though it was quite long but because we will be going out of school from next week onwards, I changed my thought and think that it is just nice if we were to spend it on outdoor exploration. Mr. Newton briefed us about what we will be doing for Galileo lessons and helped enter this wikispace. I think that it's quite cool as we are practically using the computer to send in our assignments and also be going explorations in Melbourne City itself. I'm looking forward towards next week's lesson.

__//**15/2/2012**//__ We were suppose to go for a trail today but unfortunately, because some people didn't do their homework so it was cancelled. Many of us were disappointed because we were really excited on going to the trail but it isn't something that can be helped anymore. Instead, we were to do Assignment 1 in class. But we managed to sort out our group today so I guess we did do a lot as well. I hope that eveyone will finish their work before lesson start next Wednesday so that we will be able to go on the trail.

We were finally able to go on a trail today! I suppose everyone done their work today. We sat a tram down to Bourke Street Stop and we then followed our groups and dispersed from the General Post Office. My group was Group B and it consists of me, Jackie, Echo and Mango. We had a whole lot of fun while laughing at funny looking sculptures. I mimicked almost all the sculptures and Echo took some of the pictures. I hope it won't be on the PowerPoint presentation of our group! When it was 10.10 am, we were suppose to gather at the area we dispersed and my group made it back 8 mintues earlier. 2 groups were slightly late but everything went well and we reached back by recess.

Today, we started off with our PowerPoint Presentation of last week's trail to the city. We took about 2 sessions to finish that and we then continued with our task to gather newspaper articles about cities of the world. I collected quite a few interesting articles and so did the others. After lunch, we returned back to the classroom and we had a briefing of next few week's tasks. We were all happy because we would be going out on another trail the week after the next! Besides that, we were told that we would be going on a camp with only our class to Sorrento next term. It's near the beach and we discussed about the choices we have when we head over there. We were all excited to go there but there are still some time before then. We went back to what we were doing before and by the time class ended, our group was done with almost everything. I hope that our presentation would do well!

//**__7/3/2012__**// I came to school just in time today to do any last minute preparations for our group's presentation for Galileo. We made our queue cards just before class. When I enetered the classroom, Mr Newton seeked helped from people who would know how to connect the notebook to the projector but no one knew so he had to go get help from the Tech Department. 2 teachers came in and set up the things while the rest of us prepare ourselves for the presentation. It was fixed in no time and Group A was up first. It was going to go in alphabetically order so I knew that my group would go next but it turned out well. After listening to all the other groups' presentation, we all went to the computers around class to start our Cities of The World Assignment. After coming back from recess, we had a briefing of what we will have the next few weeks. The programs were awesome because we would be going to a trail next week to the Immigration Musuem. Besides that, we would be running a walkathon for the Year 9 students to raise money for charity. And there's more too come, we would be going to a bicycle trail soon! Unfortunately, the trip to the camp has not been decided yet and it would be postponed to next week. Although we haven't decided on the camp trip yet, but I'm happy as there are so many awesome things going to go on!
