For the past 2 weeks we have been working on our Reading Comp and Science Fair. The Reading Comp is when you pick a section of a book and you read it for 5 minutes. Along with that we have been working on our Science Fair which we have got to finish for the 1st week of term 3.
Soon we are due to get our 500 class points. This is when we get to choose something to do out of school. For example, last year we went to the movies.
I , Summer, have been chosen out of some year 7's to have the opportunity to get into MathsEx. I am hoping I will get in!

There were many other people in our class that did very good like Kaitlin who came 11th here and 16th at barge Park.
