Last week the year 7's & 8's went to Lincoln Primary School. At the moment I'm doing textiles and design. We carried on with our prototyping.while I was there I showed the leadership trait of respect by not talking while the teacher was talking.On the bus I showed the leadership trait of respect as well by only talking to the person next to me so the bus driver can conserntrate

merit blog post 1 (technology)

Yesterday the year 7 and 8's went to tech at Lincoln primary school. At the moment I am doing textiles and design. We were doing our planning and started prototyping. I am making a pillow to put in my room. while I was at tech I showed the respect value because I listened to the teachers instructions and I behaved on the bus by only talking to the person next to me quietly so the bus driver could concentrate.

I can describe the structure of a Short Story

Something I have learned about the structure of short stories is: action happens quicker but it is still interesting

After reading some short stories two things I will remember when I write my own short story are don't make it too long and keep it interesting
