“Fools rush in where angels fear to tread” refers to a person who behaves impulsively; they don’t think before reacting. The saying goes with the story because a group of people, Halina and the speaker travel to Africa before knowing very little about it e.g. dangers, animals, people. ________________________________________________________________________ In this story we saw the author and Halina were being foolish because wild and terrifying ________________________________________________________________________ Animals roam into these turfs.

Today room 4 did a Fun and Exciting task. In our science project, we collected some data. This data is about how fast and many sugar we can dissolve. first, we get a cup and fill it with 100 ml. Then we put 5 ml of sugar each time. By adding the sugar i mixed the sugar as fast as i can. This is a faster way of dissolving sugar. I managed to get 175 ml of sugar, but eventually Romans group got the highest. After mixing for a while i kinda did a taste test and trust me. Your taste buds will spike. Even a drop of water will do.
After putting away our equipment, we did a challenge of who can do the best descriptive writing. I don’t know who will win but thank you for looking at this task.

Today team 5 had a Future Aspiration speech today. The first person who introduced himself is Tyrone. he’s the key note meaning (talking a bid longer). Tyrone talks about how his life journey and how he got this far. He says he wants to create a theme park!, and that’s something i want him to achieve. His message to us is actually inspirational. He said “It’s better to be a alien then a sheep.” It means, don’t always be a follower but instead, work hard for your goal, i think.
Next was this man named David. He was pretty scared because he’s not used to public speaking. He told us about his life in university and how he got smarter. I forgot his message but i can tell it’s something people would find interesting.
