On Tuesday afternoon, our class had a meeting about the school project for the science fair. Ms Brown asked each group to choose one idea and prepare a simple presentation. I was in a group with Lina, Marco, and Sofia. At first, we all had different ideas, so the discussion was a little confusing.

Lina wanted to make a poster about recycling. Marco wanted to build a small robot. Sofia thought we should study healthy food in the school canteen. After classes, we met in the library to talk more. First, we wrote all our ideas in a notebook. Then we read the project rules carefully. The teacher wanted every project to include research and one practical part.

Because of that, we decided not to build the robot. In the end, we chose the topic of healthy snacks for students. After that, we shared the work. Sofia prepared questions for a short survey. Marco planned to make a chart with the answers. Lina looked for information online, and I designed the poster. Before we went home, we agreed to meet again on Thursday.

On Friday morning, we showed our plan to Ms Brown. She said it was clear, useful, and well organised. I felt relieved because the first meeting had seemed difficult, but by the end we were working as a real team.
