Interform 2023 (Summer ☀️)

On Thursday 13th July, people in year 9 had an interform competition. Interform is when people from different forms (classes) come together in school to compete in a sport, basically a tournament between classes.
At my school, we have 2 interforms altogether in the year; one in the winter and one in the summer. In the winter, we do the sports netball and hockey. In the summer, it's badminton, tennis and rounders.
This year, I competed in netball and hockey in winter (unfortunately it got cancelled because of the rain 🌧) and I chose to compete in badminton and rounders. 
When forms pick their teams, people can choose to either be in the 'A' group or the 'B' group. The 'A' group is generally where the most talented individuals compete and it is a lot more competitive whereas the 'B' group is a little more relaxed.
I competed in the 'A' group for both sports.

So, on Thursday, the first two sports going on at the same time were Badminton and Tennis. Badminton was in the sports hall and tennis was on the courts outside. In both racket sports, it was a doubles tournament. 3 people are allowed on each team, but 2 minimum. We had 3 people on the 'A' team in Badminton and throughout the games, we were rotating. In a total of 6 games, we won 5. This was good as we got 2nd place. Next year, we'll aim for first.

Rounders in the afternoon was fun, however, all the other teams in other forms were really good! They had amazing technique and great teamwork. In the end, we came last place...

We were also supposed to have sports day the day after (athletics between forms) but it had to be moved to next week because of the unpredictable weather.

I hope I improve my game playing (especially badminton) next year so we can have another chance at winning.
See you next time!

My book review

Image
A few weeks ago, I created a book review on request for it to be posted on a magazine . I chose to do it on the Boy of the Back of the Class. Here is my review.↓ Introduction The Boy At the Back Of the Class is a great book by Onjali Q. Rauf because it reveals the hardship of people escaping the war in Syria and a strong connection between two people. Summary A refugee boy came to a school where the narrator and her best friends go to. The narrator became friends with Ahmet (the refugee boy) and Brendan-the-bully was being mean to him so they had a fight. Ahmet won and so Brendan got revenge by putting a can of baked beans into Ahmet’s red bag. He tries to wash it off but the smells and stains stayed. The narrator learned more about Ahmet’s background story and how he got into the school and country. Ahmet and his family were running from a war in Syria and they all got separated. Unfortunately, Ahmet’s cat died whilst going on a boat to Greece. They had to move to many differe

Making Harry Potter Monopoly

Image
Me with the game Two days ago, my mum had a fantastic idea to create our own Harry Potter Monopoly to play as a family. 😀We printed the paper for the board that I cut it out extra carefully. The next day, we got some unused cardboard and turned it into the gameboard. We printed the money and the title deed cards and cut them using the slicer. We used a recycled box to make the place to put the game and figures inside. Then, we printed the bottom for the box and stuck it on. After that, we wanted to print the top of the box but we unfortunately had no ink left!😞 At night, after we had iftar and salah, we played the Monopoly and it was AMAZING!!! We all were so into the game that we played until midnight!😅A few days later, the ink finally arrived and we printed the top of the box to complete everything. The game turned out to be spectacular. Instead of regular chance cards and chest community, there were potions and spell cards. E.g. One of the potions cards said to go directly

Pizza Pizza

Image
Today, my mum suggested my sister and I make 3 mini pizzas for lunch. She also asked my brother to make brownies with her. We all woke up and opened our home school (I knew that I would have a lot of fun today because we had so much fun yesterday).  I decided to draw a greyscale (black and white), shaded picture of my blue, metallic hydroflask. I think it looks very realistic. Share what you think of my drawing in the comments. After that, my sister and I made the pizzas. Me with my drawing. I had to be very careful with the shading and I really did not want a single line out of place because I want it to look neat. I also put the shadow of my bottle to make it look even more realistic. Instructions to make a mini pizza Serves one person. 1.First, preheat the oven to gas mark 5. 2.Second, mix in a cup of flour with a half-cup of water (ratio from flour to water is 2:1). 3.Flour your surface and knead the dough on that surface.
