When I came back to school, it has been feeling quite the same as last year besides new students and information.

I have learnt about the Lunar New Year or Chinese New Year (also known as “The Year of the Dragon”) and how to make lanterns for the Lunar celebration. We also learned about the other zodiac signs – ‘The Rabbit’, ‘The Snake’, The Rat’ etc.

I have applied for Foodtastic  because I want to learn how to make lunches (the food on the menu at Kakapo Cafe) and drinks – fruit and berry smoothies. I’ve also applied for 2 other jobs, Triage and Eco Warrior.

I’ve applied for Eco Warrior because I’ve learned and done pest control with Mr VT and planted trees at Totara Park and removed the weeds at the green slides, including collecting trash around the local houses last year.

Lastly I’ve applied for Triage because I’m interested about, I’ve learned a little bit about wounds.  I’ve learned from my mum from the other day last year when I tripped and scraped my knee against the stairs. I told her what happened and she told what to do which was:

1. Before you go to have a shower, make sure you take off the plaster or bandage of the area that is wounded and throw in the bin. Then after you finish taking a shower, put on a clean plaster or bandage.
2. Make sure you take some capsules in the morning, around the afternoon and at the evening. It’s also best to check in with your doctor about it to make sure it doesn’t get infected.(I think it’s only for big wounds – skin cuts, itchy bites, wounded scars etc.)

So this year hasn’t been much chaos or I could be wrong some people but I have learned some useful tips and information for this year and hope we will all have a good term.
