Day 37

Meg (Canada exchange) and me at lunch

Today we had a normal school day. We are all pretty tired since it's Monday, but today was fun! It was a really hot day today...We had a really interesting drama class in which we learnt about Stanivlasky's circle of attention. We did a very fun activity for this, but before we all laid on the floor, closed our eyes and imagined what our teacher told us too and got really relaxed. Once we were done with that part of the class we all got something to write on and sat in a circle. There was a black cloth in the middle and underneath there was a tray full of objects. We had 60 seconds to observe all the details we could see about the objects that layed on the tray. Later we had another 60 seconds but to write down every single object we remembered. When we all finished we were given 60 extra seconds to look at the tray again and look for even more details to describe the objects. Finally we had 60 seconds to write that information down and we put everything in common.  It was surprising to see how much details people can observe and how many different ways that people use to remember all of them!

I also had music today and I talked a lot with Peta, one of my music classmates. We were playing the piano together and we found out to have the same music taste, which led to a really interesting conversation! I loved getting to know her better! This week is Non Nobis Solum Week! This means that all the houses make something to give to others and raise funds for charity! For example, the Melaleucans did bracelets with the words that represent the school (Grace, love, compassion, forgiveness and hope). They cost two dollars and all the money went to charity. The people from Banksia did some hearts to put on boards to write nice messages to others and post them, and I am not sure about what the people from Karragaroo are going to do! 
We are now waiting at the school library to get picked up! 

Talk to you later!
