Orienteering with Mr Jacobsen

Today In extension we had a visit from Mr Jacobsen on how to use a compass.  We were given a  compass and a worksheet. The objective was to get the letters in the most accurate way. Mr Jacobsen told us we had to go around in a Zigzag circle.  I was with Pisirina and we won. It was very fun.

40 hour famine

On Friday the seventh and Saturday the eighth of June I participated with a group of students in the 40 hour famine. We went over to school and had a blast we played games in the hall. We then practised our Items. I did my Item with Marika, and Jahzara. We decided to do a live singing performance of Taron Egertons cover of I'm still standing, (Spoilers, we won) and it was very fun. We then had a bit of a dance party before working on our recounts of the day. We finished that we watched a movie and then went to bed. Once we woke up we got ready to leave in the morning. The 40 hour famine was a great experience and I would definitely recommend it.

Tasting Food

On Tuesday the eleventh of June, we all had some food to eat. Bruschetta with olive oil sprinkled on top, two black olives, a piece of feta cheese and Pan au Chocolat. The Bruschetta tasted like slightly sweeter bread than usual and the olive oil is a nice dressing. The olives would have been better but they had been on the plate for a while and they we're a bit dry but still a nice refreshment. The Feta cheese was very rich and I loved that, nice and strong. The Pan au chocolat was delicious nice sweet bread and light chocolate. A tingle on the taste buds!

History

Greece was very influential in the past and the ancient Greeks are known as the founders of the modern world. Before the civilisation of ancient Greece the Greeks lived in scattered farming villages all around the country and islands. Over the years the population grew and the villages grew as well. The Greeks then started up a government and started to create laws. They started up armies and collected taxes and each city or state had a patron god or goddess. The ancient Greek gods and myths are still a popular subject to this day.

Culture and Traditions

Culture and traditions are a very important aspect to the Greek culture. There are traditions from either religious character or paganism. Traditions and superstitions vary from island to island, Region to Region. They have many celebrations such as Name day celebration, Carnivals or Apokries, Clean Monday and more.

Wildlife

Greece has more to offer than amazing mythology and cliff side cities, Greece also has great wildlife and plants. In the Findus mountains you can find brown bears The Eurasian lynx and the western roe deer live in Greece’s mountainous regions and in the south, the wild boar and brown hare can still be found. The golden jackal and the western European hedgehog also live in the south.
