Every Wednesday, Adrian, Jake and I go to Extension Studies. In the Second Semester, our first trip was CSIRO. We had to find who the murderer was with the given clues. You'd feel just like one of those people in CSI.

A few weeks later, we went to Wonderland. One of the best things was that you were allowed to go anywhere you want with a partner. You'd think the whole day was just a perfect getaway but we still had worksheets to finish and they were about physics.

This week we are doing the trial of blood sucker insects. We put a bug on trial and there is a prosecution team and a defence team. The bugs we were to choose from were the mosquito, vampire bug, leech and the assassin bug. Our class chose the mosquito.

In the last weeks of ESC, we make a mini-rocket and launch it, I can't wait.

Every Wednesday three boys go to Extension Studies Centre at Balgowlah Boys High School. The three boys are myself, Adrian and Norman.

In Term 4 the highlights for me have been going to CSIRO and also going to Australia's Wonderland. I think CSIRO was better because it was a scientific place where they find out how a murder happened and stuff like that. Wonderland was very good.

At Wonderland the start Adrian (Brookvale), Norman (Brookvale), Tom (Balgowlah North) and Elliott (Balgowlah Heights) went on the Merry-go-round. Tom and I went on The Demon and the Space Probe, the two most scary rides at Wonderland. Elliott, Nick, Tom, Adrian and Norman then went to the Dodgem Cars.

Yesterday, we did a thing called The Trial of The Blood Suckers, a thing where we put a blood-sucking animals on trial to see if we can stop them roaming the earth.

Every Wednesday three boys go to Extension Studies Centre at Balgowlah Boys High School, they are Jake, Norman and myself.

In 4th term the highlights have been going to Wonderland were we got to go on any ride we wanted by ourselves and we had to fill in Maths sheets.

At the start we went on the merry-go-round which was very slow then we went to the Demon were Jake went on because Norman and I were too scared. Then we went to Space Probe were Jake went on again because Norman and I were still scared.

After recess we split up and I went with my 2 friends from Balgowlah Heights School and for the rest of the day we stayed at the pools. At the pools we went straight to the 12 story water slide and we went on that 12 times then we went back to our meeting place for lunch. Straight after lunch we went to the pools again where we had another 18 goes. We went there and back by bus.

Yesterday we had to get ready to see what bloodsucking animal we were going to choose to put on trial. We did the The Assassin Bug but we didn't put it on trial we ended up putting the Mosquito on trial because it does just about nothing for us but kill things. The leach could actually help us by helping wounds and helping our blood pressure.

Next week we will be putting the Mosquito on trial and I have the hardest job, the job is to look at what medical things the Mosquito could help with.
