Learning In The Making Conference day
Last Friday we had Learning In The Making Conference day. Conference day is a day we normally have once a year on a Friday. You can buy different coloured T-shirts of our house colours. The colours of the T-shirts were yellow, red, blue and green. There were four different breakouts. For the first breakout I did claymations. You had to make something out of playdough then you had to get an I-pad and take pictures of you design. After we took pictures and we put the pictures together and it was like a video.
For the second breakout I did sharpy tie dye. We got a piece of fabric then got a glass cup, put the fabric on the cup and tied a rubber band around the glass cup. Then you get some sharpy pens and do a easy design. After that you get some rubbing alcohol and drip some into the middle so it spread's evenly. Rubbing alcohol you don't drink so please don't try and drink it.
Then for the third break out I did little stitches. We made a badge out of fabric. You got to pick your designs like squares or triangles. Then you got to pick if you wanted to do a jelly stamp. There were a lot of things like owls and arrows. After that you cut out two shapes you like and put a little bit of glue just to make it stick a bit more on the bottom of the fabric. Then you hand stitch around the fabric with thread.
For the last breakout I did cooking. We made lemon honey for your toast and pudding. It has really easy to make. After we had finished making the lemon honey it was really hot and it burned my fingers. We got back early from our break out so we had a little play with a skipping rope on the front court. Then we packed up from our big day. The conference day was lots of fun!

iDrive refelction
In iDrive today I did cards with Ella, Alexa and Elizabeth. The games we played were go fish and last card. But there was a little problem, Alexa and Elizabeth wanted to play bull but I did not know how to play. So Elizabeth showed me how to play but I did not get it. We had a little fight. Then someone let them play knuckle bones. The thing that I achieved was problem solving.We solved the problem so Elizabeth and Alexa were playing knuckle bones and me and Ella were playing cards. My skills were playing fear and solving problems that were hard to solve. I won two games and Ella won two games too.
