Week 2 Term 3

This week has been very busy. Every day we train for cross country which is being held in week five. Last night I finally finished my speech it has taken me ages to write, and it is lucky that I have finished because the cut off date is tomorrow. This term I made it into the Inter Intermediate gymnastic team which means that me, and a few others will go to a gymnastic competition, and compete against other Intermediates. Coming up is our inter house haka competition that is when the four houses/groups in our school do a haka, and the best house will win. Today at two pm we have the college expo I don't actually know what it is, but all the year eights are excited so I guess it must be interesting. There is another really big that is happening this term, and that is the Japan trip, and a girl in our class is going. During class time we have been doing this thing called readers theater where we sort of have to act using our voice. It is not my most favorite thing in the world, but that is because I don't like stuff like that in general.      

Week 1 Term 3

So far the first week back at school has been good. In tech arts we have moved onto fabric. We have only had one lesson, but in that time I hand sewed a soft green and black ball about the size of a tennis ball. To make it we had to cut out our pattern on the two colours we had chosen then place them togeather to make a T shape. Next we had to had sew them togeather starting at the top, and going black to green, black to green until it looked like a half circle thats when cut the the string so we could replace it with more string. We carried on sewing until there was three finger before the end. After we had done all that we turned our fabric in side out, stuffed it. Finally using invisable stitches we sewed up the last bit, and we were done. Yesterday we had french, and we had to do maths in french! The questions were easy it was more the spelling of the french numbers that made it hard. This term in week five is our school cross country we have been training every day at school, and today we are training with a few other classes. I think that this term will be exciting because we have lots of upcomming events. I am going on the one week ski trip with about 40 other students from our school, and I am also going to aims with my netball team. Aims is this competition that our school is part of it is held at Tauranga, and lots of other schools travel there to compete against one another. Another event that this term brings is speeches. I already have my speech topic and I have started writing it. Over all I think that I have a pretty good year ahead of me.
