Week Six - Term One

I decided that I would change the way that I do my blog posts. For now on I will try to do them like this. I think it will help me write more than usual. What do you think of it?

Monday - We had our usual Monday morning assembly which wasn't very exiting. We started writing our Student Led Conference report for our Student Led Conferences. I can't remember what else happened, but I think that is because it's Friday today and this is about Monday, so it has been four days since it happened.

Tuesday - In tech arts I made a new phone holder, and in the same colour as last time (dark red). I sanded my speaker box and got a coat of paint on it. I also got a picture for when I make my key ring, though I forgot to get it afterwards so now it it lost in the unknown. Unknown because I do not know where it is, not because it's in an unexplored cave or something, just so you know. After that, I did some maths work on integers. I was nearly finished which made me happy. I think I also did some writing, maybe my S.L.C report or maybe my Waitangi writing.

Wednesday - We had an R.I. assembly. If you haven't read my older, maybe even last year, blog posts, or if you are not familiar with the term, R.I. stands for Religious Instruction. I don't like the name. Instruction. At least at the college they have R.E. - Religious Education. Sorry, I have strayed off of the topic. We did the usual learning basics, maths and writing. The year sevens had a French lesson while the year eights, me included, stayed in the class. After that, we had Team Jump-Jam. Sadly, my class didn't win, but I thought we did pretty well.

Thursday - In the morning, there were only eight other students in the class. I counted. Everyone else was at band, guitar or extension art. Mrs Crowe started us on a brain inquiry. We did some Google searching to come up with some questions for the six groups. Oh, yeah, the class was separated into six groups of five or six students. In my group I had me (obviously), Grace, Ben, Liam and Quin. I was the only person from my group who was present at the time. Our question is: 'How does your brain evolve / grow and work (Connecting with the rest of your body)'. After a little while some people came back and I got Liam to join me. We found some interesting websites and put them in a shared document so all of us could see them and check them out. In extension art I did the wash over my canvas I chose to do a watery cool blue colour, and I finished my draft version of my Mt Ruapehu. About halfway through the session, some of us went down to the hall to see school singing. We wanted to see if they had announced the Head Students yet. They hadn't, and we found out that they were announcing them at 12:15. We went down again then and waited for the announcement. The Head Students for 2016 are: Cheng-Yu, Class Councilor of room three; Raiha, House Captain of Waipa House; Amy, House Captain of Mangapiko House; Matthew, House Captain of Waikato House. Cheng-Yu and Raiha are both from my class. I'm happy because this year I know all of the Head Students. Last year I only knew one of them. During lunch the Makuhari students arrived from Japan. The Head Students greeted them and showed them to the library. After lunch the class was still pretty empty, as it had been all day, so we did writing and then played seven-a-side-softball.

Friday - We had writing due today and I didn't finish it on time! We had a Powhiri in the morning to greet the Makuhari students who arrived the day before, as you are probably aware. There were about twenty-five student and only six of them were girls. After the Powhiri, we all went back to our classes while the people who were hosting a Makuhari student collected their people and showed them around the school. I have four of them in my class with their hosts. Three of them are girls, so half of the Makuhari girls are in my class. I do have another host in my class, but her student is in another class which is disappointing for her. When we did tech arts, two of the Makuhari student came to join us. I nearly finished my speaker and I got a new picture for my key ring. During lunch I did a bit more writing, but I still haven't finished. I decided that I would finish it after school. In the afternoon, we had a Maori lesson and a lock-down practice. After that we did Friday Sport. In Theatre-Sport, we practised our space-jump scenarios and some groups preformed theirs. My group is preforming next week.

So, maybe I won't write like this. I wrote way more than usual and I don't really enjoy writing. It was good while it lasted, but I think my writing craze is over. Bye.
