14/04/11 - You need to go back and put all of your relfections up for your work. You said you found it confusing at the beginning so it is great that after you learnt how to read and interpret the timetables, you were able to then use them when you were creating your own. Well done. Please put your LI and SC up as well. You can find these on the class wiki under amazing race. __Thursday 14th April__

Dear Sanfords

Thank-you for showing all the year 7 and 8 people for the Rimu Amazing Race how to fillet a fish. We all appreciate it so much that you took the time to help us out.

I liked it when you dressed us in those dressy kind-of aprons. I cant believe you have to wear them every day when you fillet the fish. It was funny when everyone was poking the fish eyes when they were in the container of ice.

It was kind of you to help us fillet those fish because I had no idea what to do. It looked so complicated.

It was difficult when we had to take the scales off because I nearly took my finger off with the knife. Luckily, I had that metal glove on for protection.

 Something I learnt was that you have to wear so much gear when you fillet a fish. It was great learning all about it.

I just want to say one more time thank-you so much for letting us take part and teaching us what to do!

Your sincerely Bethany Lewer

I just wanted to say thank you mum for putting your name down and driving us around Tauranga for the Amazing Race. I hope we didn’t talk to much and annoy you and I am sorry the car still stinks of the fish I filleted that day! I liked it when you gave me and jake two dollars each and we brought some lollies when we were waiting for our fish and chips. We had so much fun and it was funny when Jake left the clue in the changing room. Now that was funny! It was sad that two boys from our group called Jonathan and Jacob were away because all that was left was me and Jake.Those fish and chips that we had, there were lots, I can’t believe we managed to eat them all (I had to admit they were delicious)! Well we did have help by the boys. They were so hungry they nearly ate the whole thing. By the way, you made me a good lunch! I learnt that fish and chips where very hard to make but it turns out it actually tastes super delicious.

<span style="font: normal normal normal 17px/normal Helvetica; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">Thank you so much mum for doing that. I love you so much mum.

<span style="color: #12043a; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Al Bayan'; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">I just wanted to say thank you mum, for volunteering to drive us around Tauranga for the Rimu Amazing Race.

<span style="color: #12043a; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Al Bayan'; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">I hope we didn’t talk to much and annoy you and I am sorry the car still stinks of that fish I filleted that day. I have to say though, it was really hard to fillet.

<span style="color: #12043a; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Al Bayan'; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;">After I filleted it, and we went to the fish and chip shop, it was really nice of you to give Jake and I two dollars each so that we could buy some lollies to eat while we waited for Miss Stock to say we could start cooking our fish and chips. We had so much fun when you drove us around.

<span style="color: #12043a; font: normal normal normal 14px/normal 'Al Bayan'; letter-spacing: 0px; margin: 0px;"> It was funny when Jake left the clue in the changing room. Now that was funny! I was sad that Jonathan and Jacob were away on friday because all that was left in the team was Jack and I. There were lots of fish and chips, I can’t believe we managed to eat them all. I have to admit they were delicious! We were lucky to have help by the boys that had finished the race already and were playing hand ball. They were so hungry that they nearly ate the whole lot. Thank-you for making me a great lunch that day! I learnt that fish and chips where very hard to make but it turns out it actually taste super delicious.Thank-you so much mum for doing that.
