Week 6 Term 2

Last week in teach arts we finished  doing art and moved on to design that includes wood work and plastic. Our teacher is Mr Monk he is really funny. We got to make spinning tops my one was a bit big, but it still works. On Friday we can cut our names out of wood. In maths we were doing fractions, decimals and percentages now we are moving on to area and perimeter we have just done the test and I think we are going to have to do a lot of work on it. We have been doing report writing and note taking. Our first piece of writing was about penguins, and for our next piece of writing we had to draw out a slip of paper that had our topic on it. I got Tuatara. I have nearly finished my note taking. Recently I have handed in my Belmont letter that will be posted to my host family so they sort of know a little bit about me before I get there.          

Week 5 Term 2

I have been sick most of this week, but hopefully I will be going back to school tomorrow I hate being stuck at home with nothing to do. I missed my last art lesson and I am no ware near finishing luckily we have a awesome art teacher and she said we can come in at lunchtime and finish off our art work. On Sunday it was my birthday and we went to inflatable world it's really fun there and I loved it. Everything is blown up there is a huge sumo ring where you put on these really big sumo suits and try and bowl each other over. There was lots of other great activities, but this was my favorite. My cousion, Summer, gave me my favorite present she had painted me this awesome picture of an extinct laughing owl I love it!! I had a fantastic time and I am totally going back.

Week 4 Term2

Yesterday I had a photo with Barbara Kuriger the MP for King Country/Taranaki and the Minister of Education Hekia Parata, while they were visiting the retirement village that my Dad and his brothers own. She did a speech and the residents had time to ask questions I think she was really nice and bubble.

This week has been really exciting because I made the Belmont netball team, the Aims netball team and the rep netball team. Belmont is a place in Auckland and our school dose a sporting exchange with another school up there that means that I will be going to Auckland and staying a few nights with a random family!! Aims Games is also another sporting event, but you don't stay with a family you just stay with your team in a cabin. Rep netball is a Te awamutu representative team and we have our first torment next weekend. I am really nervous, but I am also really excited I really love netball and I can't wait to verse  teams from other places!   

We video

I have learnt how to use a app called we-video it's really cool and I have created a practise called adorable kittens!

To use we-video all you have to do is...

• Download we-video 
• Find some pictures or video clips
• Press the upload button and then upload your photos and/or videos 
• Arrange your photos or videos in the order that you like 
• If you wanted to you could add sub titles 
• When you are finished press the publish button and your video will be complete 

This is my guide to using we video I hope this will help you in the future if you decide to use we video 

Week 2 term 2

This week our school is having a band camp for all the students in band or choir I don't really know what happens but it sounds cool! Yesterday we did PC (pubertal change) for nearly a whole day it was pretty gross and I DO NOT want to do it again!! For passion hour we have finally started to learn how to actually use youtube editor I have only learnt a few steps of the whole process but it's an improvement. In Tech arts we have started a new piece of art work because we are waiting for our jandals to come back from the kiln. For our new piece of art you draw a a shape that is related to you or New Zealand then you full it with kiwi icons or things you love then eventually we will paint it with lots of bright colors.      

The first week back at school

The first week back at school has been great I have learnt lots. We are currently doing this thing called passion hour where you have time to learn more about what you are passionate about. Me and my friend are learning how to create a video using you tube editor so far I have no idea how to actually make a video! We have also been studying Gallipoli did you know that it has been 100 years since the war fought in Gallipoli? It is sad that so many lives were lost.

We have been doing art for tech arts we are currently making clay jandal
s I painted my jandals purple. Our awesome art teacher is taking them to a kiln in Hamilton to get fired then all we have to do is make a strap for them. One of our walls have been painted with our school motto SHINE it stands for
we Show respect
we are Honest
we  Include others
we Never give up
we seek Excellence
