Our Knox induction days

On Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th June we went to Knox Academy for out induction days. We all met up in the hall at the start of the day. For Traprain House our first class was science and we got to use a Bunsen burner which was really fun! Then we did dance with a teacher called Mr Campbell who was really funny. :)

We did our Guitar Hero later on in the day. In our classes we split up into bands and came up with band names. We all had a go and the band with the highest score got though to the final. The Pythons were the winners and they were from Garelton! But other people in Lammerlaw and Traprain got into the final as well, because there was 3 acts allowed in the final, and Bee, Murrzo and other people in their class got into the final but didn’t win. :(

On the Wednesday we did sports for 3rd and 4th Period. We did dodge ball and softball. They were both really fun! After the sports for 2 hours we had Modern Studies. It was fun, because we got to make a newspaper article about our visit time at Knox and it was a competition. Bee, Pony and somebody else from Traprain won. But I can’t mention their name. After that we went back into the main hall and did a communication activity that was fun. :) We had to go onto groups and name different things that were hung up on the walls and if we didn’t know them we would just need to leave them out. The first activity was you got a piece of paper and you needed to describe the picture and then you would pass it to your left and then the other person would write something different about the picture. The second activity was when you went to the front and there was a PowerPoint and it was about different languages. You had to match the describing words to their meaning. And the last activity was when you got a piece of paper and thefe were loads of different pictures and you had to name them. If you couldn’t name all of them you would just have to leave it out. And after that it was home time. :)

We both really liked the visit days at Knox and can’t wait to go back in August. We also can’t wait to make loads of new friends.
