Week 4 Term 1

This week has been great. We have done tech arts, and I have nearly completed my speaker box I have wired my speakers, and I am up to my second layer of paint. At the start of this week we have had our inter house swimming heats to see who will race on the actual school swimming day. The heats also determine who will go to WIMS (Waikato Intermediate Middle Schools) swimming. I made the team and so did some of my friends which is good for me and them. The WIMS swimming is held on Monday, and on the Friday of the same week is school swimming, so by the time that is all done I am going to be pretty tired of swimming. Anyway I am really happy because I got deputy house captain for Puniu, and our first assembly is coming up soon. Today was our second session of extension art, and it went really well we did a practice painting of a landscape, and I don't think mine looked that bad. Anyway I am really looking forward to another fantastic week.

Week 3 Term 1

This week has been great. In tech we are making speakers, but I have missed a couple of session so I was behind when we first started, but now I have caught up lots and I am pretty much up to the same thing as anybody else. I have also made it into extension art which is like extra session of art that mostly consists of painting. I few years ago my cousin was in extension art as well and the art work she brought home was amazing. Earlier this week me and my friend were selected to attend a leadership day today, and so far I have been really excited for it. I think that it will help me to be a good leader seeing as I am going for house captain and my friend is going for class counselor, but the only down side to this is that my first session of extension art is today, and they are announcing house captains today so I hope that I will be back in time for that.    

Week 2 Term 1

Having the long weekend has been great, but now we are back to school. For tech arts we are making little plastic phone or iPod holders that can sit on top of the speakers that we will end up making later on through our hard materials session. This week we also had our immunization talk the year seven immunization is for testiness, and the year eight girls immunization (my immunization) is for protection from HPV. We have to get three injections over a cores of a certain amount of days. I am not to sure how many days there has to be in between each of the three injections, but I do know that I am not looking forward to it because I absolutely hate needles and ever body that I have asked has said that it hurts lots. One girl even said when they inject the fluid into your body you can feel it running down your arm, so that wasn't were helpful.

Week 1 Term 1

Today is our first session of tech arts, and we are are starting off with hard materials. I am really excited because last year hard materials was really fun, so I can't wait to see what we are going to make this year. The thing that I am not so excited for is our basic facts test because I am still in holiday mode and I have forgotten most of my basic facts. So far the week has been good all of the new year sevens seem nice enough. A couple of days ago our teacher took us out for sports we played 4 new games, but I forgot what they were called. I can't wait to see what next week brings.
