Clubs

A few weeks ago, the teachers announced that from now on on Friday we would be having clubs afternoon. Basically, there would be lots of different clubs based in different rooms, and we would each choose one, and then do it for the rest of the term, or, however long it would be running for.

There were lots of different choices of clubs; Scrapbooking, Coding and Robotics, Green team (an enviro club) Junk Modelling, the list goes on. When I heard all the choices, at first I was a bit overwhelmed. Finally however, after much strategic planning ( sort of ) I managed to narrow it down to three choices, Coding and Robotics, Scrapbooking, and Animation.

About a week later, Friday rolled around, and it was time for our first club afternoon and I still wasn't sure what club I wanted to do. In the morning, I finished all my work early, and my teacher asked me to trial an app called MyStopAction for the club she was running, Animation.

As I was doing this, I realised how much I enjoyed it. My friend Piper and I were trialling the app together, and we created a short movie. Since I still had time to pick a club, I chose to do ... Scrapbooking. Just kidding, I picked Animation.

When I walked into the Animation class, I knew I had made the right choice. We started off by watching a quick slideshow, followed by the movie Piper and I had made, and then we were free to start experimenting.

After that time went quickly. I joined up with my friend Derrin, and together we made a movie about a blob. Yes, a blob.Anyway, I had a great time doing clubs and I can't wait until the next session
