On this page i will write a report on my projects a see how well i think i have done.

orginal plan.: to travel to sydney by plan and stay with my grandmother to complete our new skill which was black and white photography On the 19th of August my expedition and event started, Danielle and I flew to sydney on a plane and stayed at my grannys house (Lyn Arnold). After we unpacked granny showed us the cameras we would be using (Danielle was using the besa flex and i was using the Nikon) and how to load the film into the cameras. When we got the hang of how to load the film be went out the back and done a film speed test with the cameras and that showed what speed the camera worked best with the film we were using, and to get the sharpest image on the negative. Granny then showed us the dark room and whats what like the chemicals, the wet and dry side of the room, ect. I have learnt alot of imformation about black and white photography, like it is really important to have abosulty NO light coming into the dark room, because even the tinyest bit of light could ruin the whole roll of negative film thats hasnt been through the fixer, also that when taking the photo you have to adjust the camera to the right apature and shutter speed. I had alot of question that i asked granny, either about something or what some terms mean or just asuring that i am correct to what i am doing and how i am doing it. There were alot of new things that i learned about when i was in Sydney, like the enlarger that is used to transfer the negative image onto the photographic paper with the right amount of light, and to get the right amount of light you use i test strip witch is just a bit of the photograhic paper and you put it under the enlarger and then for 2 second intervills you put the light on just a part of it at a time while covering the rest of the paper with a piece of paper, then you put the test strip into the developer, then stop then fix. I think that my expedition and eventwent VERY well and me succseeded in what we planned to do.: )0
 * Expedition and Event- Sydney trip. also new skill.

From the 3rd of september Jazmin and i have been on a healthy eating diet, only eating 4 serves of junk food throughout the week and only one serve on the weekends. We also have been walking the rail trail to try and improve our fitness, we done that twice a week on Mondays and Wednesdays. We finished walking on the 12 of november. I think that i have improved my fitness a bit because i lost some weight while walking twice a week, and i would like to keep on doing it after school. Also before we started walking the rail trail Jazmin and i completed a beep test and i got 6.5 the first time i did the beep test an the second time we did thee beep test after we completed the health project i get a 6.8. I have evidence of us walking the rail trail through pictures. i achieved by doing this project some what of a better fitness, if i had to do this project again i would improve, by not walking the rail trail, but like twice a week going i nto the gym, and doing other activitys that inprove our fitness. i didnt really gains any new skills by walking the rail trail, but i have a better understanding of body image and anorexia, bulimia, self esteme and the confidence a person can have about the way they look. :)

my orignal plan for this module was to understand my own beliefs and values and then compare them with a friends. I changed my mind half way through because i couldnt think of anyone to compare my befliefs and values with, so i decided to compare my beliefs and values with the Egyptian Religion. I have eveidence to prove that i have completeed this project because it is writen up obn my wikispace. Overall i think i done with the comparing of my beliefs and values to the Egyptian religion. by doing this project i achieved an understanding of my own beliefs and values, and its good because i actually understand propually what i values in my life. i had a few problems compl;eteing my project, because it took me a while to get the planning over and done with and fully singed off. then i had to find a religion to compare my beliefs and values with. Overalll i think i done well. :)
 * Beleifs and values.

on the friday 14th november Jazmin and I held a ice cream eating contest at the end of period 5. there were 6 people involved in actuall eating the ice cream, Angus, Luke, Kathryn, Gorgie, Laura and Teash. All of the people involved had 2 litres of icecream and they had to eat it in 15 mins. The event went really really well, and i was happy with the result. Angus won the contest eating 2 litres of chocolate and choc chip ice cream in less than 5 mins, gorgie came 2nd and luke who some how managed to get it all over his face came 3rd. Over all i think that the ice cream contest went realllly well and every enjoyed it and if i had to do it again i would give everyone spoon because some people got frost bite on there fingers.
