Week Eight

Maths - I did Mathletics all week because I am ahead in maths, and I had one page left in my book. I really need to get a new book, but I keep forgetting to ask Mum. I won a Bronze Certificate, and got rid of some of my blue bars.

Writing - I started writing my argument. My topic is: 'School / tourist busses should not have seat belts.' At first I was for them, but then I found a website that gives some really good reasons why there shouldn't be seat belts. I have written most of it, for I just need to write two paragraphs.

Reading - I have nearly finished my book review. I need to write one and a bit more paragraphs, and add in some quotes. After that, I'll be done.

Maori - We didn't have it because Whae Rangi was away.

French - We revised what we learnt last week about the weather.

Science Fair - I did my tests and finished everything a day before it was due. We did peer assessments on the information, and apparently I did quite well. I helped Patrick do his tests, along with some other students.

Tech Arts - We made up a dance to the song 'Timmy Trumpet.' My group ended up doing alright. We watched some videos of dance sequences by Royal Family, and we watched the stage challenge from last year at the college.

Friday Sport - In Theatre Sport, we played lost of different games. I got to play the Emotional Game. It's when you act out a scene once neutral, then you do it three more times using different emotions.

Extension Art - I spent the whole time attempting to make a skin colour. I didn't manage to.

R.I - We listened to Chris talk about respecting your friends. I only like R.I. when he is doing it because he is American, so his voice is entertaining.

Music Workshop Concert - We went to the A.L.C. to watch a short concert that the music teachers and students put together. They played some songs, and the choir sang some. The band played the Harry Potter and Star Wars theme songs which was interesting to hear.

Mufti Day - The theme for this terms mufti day was First Response, so I wore my St John Cadet uniform. I didn't get an award, but that's alright because the prizes weren't very good. Last year I got a bag of Fruit Bursts for second place. This year, first place got a medium-sized chocolate bar.
