DARE: Day 2

Day 2 of the DARE programme was fun and educational. First we talked about strategies in life and making the right choices when it comes to friends. Also we talked about the different groups of drugs, both legal and illegal, and the different side effects and dangers. We all learned a lot! Here are some pictures.

Two-point Perspective Drawing

As a warm up to our art this term we did an activity based on a tutorial on how to do a two-point perspective drawing by Karl Gude, an American artist. I think I did well in the exercise but could have spent more time enhancing the shadows. This is my picture.

NIWA Science Fair

This year my science fair was 'Are Fingerprint Patterns Inherited?'. I came 3rd in the school competition and went on to the NIWA fair. I achieved a Highly Commended award. This is my certificate of participation.

DARE Programme

Today was our first lesson of the DARE programme with Constable Julie. In our lesson today we talked about what we already know and what we want to know about drugs. We also discussed things that are not usually known as drugs, but are just as addictive, such as caffiene, alcohol and, strangely enough, chocolate!
As well as that, we completed several worksheets on our personality, goals, and other personality based activities. It was fun!
