Today we had an assembly with our buddies, my buddy was Keren and Kiziah (they are my sisters too).  The theme was Master chef and it was about food! we took some photos before the assembly had started. Our hosts were Lincoln(4RG), Rehat(2TD I think) and Sampan(2IB I think). Firstly we did the Kaurna acknowledgment read by Nhi. Then we sang he national anthem. After that some people read the parable of the sower. We danced the Milkshake song from GoNoodle. Then we showed a video of us making our food animals. Then we did the audience challeng, the school/audience had to make a animal out of food. Then we showed Emily’s animation of our excursion to Woolies. After that we did another challenge, it was a blind taste test. After all of that we did some other stuff that I forgot.
