Reflection II Wananga

About my book - The book I've read over the last past weeks is book 4 of the Alex Rider Graphic Novel series whilst waiting for Book 6 as I've read book 5.

Book 4 - Book 4 starts us off with Alex going on a vacation with one of his friends and their family. During their stay at the island where their vacation is at. The hotel sets on fire injuring Alex's friend's dad. Before the hotel set up in flames, Alex had seen an old enemy that he'd seen in book 1. this led him to investigate which lead him to find a number ringing it and hearing the name of a famous person and the voice of that person.

Alex then sets out to try and exposes the famous singer for trying to kill his friend's father.
Throughout the story, we find out that the friend's father was a journalist who was doing a topic on a famous person whose name is Cray.

Cray throughout the world is known as famous singers and the creator of a new console which has higher graphics than any other current console in their world. 
After being picked to try out the console after Alex steals a ticket to sneak into a show that Cray was hosting, Alex sneaks into this big building where we get to see a conversation between a man and Cray. Cray was using the man for information in turn the man would get 2 million dollars for the information he gave Gray. During that part of the book, Cray tells the man his money is in a big class case which on a stall is a case that has his money. When the man opens the case he finds out that it's empty after he opens the case a window-like door closes his exit from exiting from the class case a second later 2 million quarters begin to pour down on the man likely killing him. As Cray kills anyone who gets in his way or has valuable information that he can not let people walk away knowing about.

This the part that I've just passed and I'm currently still continuing the book. So far I'm really enjoying the series and cant wait to read book 6.

Athletics Day II Friday Reflection Post

Last Thursday we had Athletic days. At our school and probably most of all the other schools too. our athletics is split into two groups Competitive and Social I was in Competitive, this was also my first time being in competitive as I've always done Social. The difference between the two is that Competitive starts athletic at the start of period 1 and goes all the way to the end of school while Social has two periods of class before coming out and doing athletics.

The Athletic options I picked for this year were

100m
200m
Shot-put
High-Jump
Long-Jump

Before athletics day if you picked PE as a subject for year 11 you'd do a pre athletic practice. Meaning we'd go out and practice certain events we were taking part in on athletics day. Just to get that bit better at the event. Which I found helped a lot on the actual day of the event.

I fairly enjoyed this year's Athletics. And shockingly enough doing competitive actually gave me the chance to talk to people I normally wouldn't talk to in my year group which was really nice.
The thing I wish I could've changed but I know I cant was the weather. I would have loved for Athletics day to be like last year where the weather was nice and sunny. But in the end, Athletics was still really good.

Wananga II Reflection Post (Aka Reflection Day)

( About my week )
Wananga this week was okay. I don't remember much from Monday and Tuesday nor Wednesday but I remember Thursday and today. Yesterday we had 3 people come in and talk to our whole house (Tiekie) and give us a rundown of things. The first person who came in was one of our librarians, she talked about how the system for getting books outworked and that if needed we could come to them to possibly get new books out for the school. The next person that came in was a teacher of our school who worked for the juniour student council. She talked about some of the opportunities that we could partake in within the school.
And the last person was a lady who worked with many other kids on cyber safety and how to use their blog and gain viewers for their blog.

( About my book )
But apart from that we also did some silent reading. For the last past 2 weeks, I've been reading the graphic novel Alex Rider. Which is about a boy who was on a mission to find out more about his father, while trying to find out information about his father he encounters Scorpia a group his father was in, there he learned that his father was an assassin and that his father was shot from the enemy group of Scorpia, which Alex had soon got involved in after being assigned to kill one of their people and being tricked with bulletproof glass. Only realizing there was glass thereafter he'd fired the gun to take the target down. After he got caught he got stuck into another problem which involved a vaccine that could kill people with the press of a button.

this is what I've managed to get up to so far within the book, but I'm really enjoying the book and its plot, and after I finish the book I'm currently reading on it, I might also read the next one after that. (I left out a few things within the book so some spoilers are left out in case people wish to read Alex Rider)

Book - Scorpia: The Graphic Novel
Novel by Anthony Horowitz and Antony Johnston
