Athletics

 

These past few weeks we have been working hard on athletics. We are going to be running the relays,  100,  200 and 400 metre run. 

I really enjoyed athletics because I like running so much and sports, too.  Also, athletics inter-school is coming soon on Wednesday 5th November. I can't wait but it is going to get tiring with all the running.

🎄Christmas Crossover🎅

This week we are having Christmas Crossover. We are going to be separated into nine groups and in each group a St Kent student is in it. We have a lot of people in our group and it is going to be hard for the seniors to make the juniors listen and do the right thing. I think it will be very interesting because there are going to be different activities for each group.  

Littering

My inquiry group including, Ana, Jessica, Malia and me, made a presentation and survey for our class. It is about litter, how there is rubbish everywhere and a lot of other interesting information. 

Then, when we were finished we did a survey about litter. I was amazed by the results that we received from them.  

I believe, no one should litter because it is ruining our country.  

😀Tech With Mr Grundy😀

At Tamaiki College we had Tech, I was with Mr Grundy or Sir. We were going to make a necklace, I was passionate to know how to make it. 

The best part is that I get to keep it for our selves or to give it to the person we made it for.  It was hard making it and tiring, too because I had to use four different sandpapers to make it nice and smooth. 

Finally, I am done with making it and I just need to work on my pewter workbook on my document. 

I am so proud of myself that I made it. It was a cross necklace that I created with the help of Mr Grundy.  

Making Our Own Choreography

Today we had another hip hop lesson with JJ. She was really enthusiastic. We always done what we do when we get there we stench, play a game.

Then we done something different, we had to make our own choreography with five people in our group. It was Tuposeini, Mary, Julianne, Konzay, Mary-Ruth, and me.  We were so excited and nervous at the same time. But gladly JJ helped us set it up for us. We had about ten or fifteen minutes to make a dance.

Later on we had to show the whole class what we had thought of to make our choreography. I really liked watching the others dancing.

Road Safety

The past few weeks we have been learning about road safety.

First of all we had to be divided into groups of four or more so we could collaborate with each other.  My groups and I were setting up a slide presentation to show others how to be safe when crossing the road. 

Lastly, always keep your seat belt on and phone off when on the road so you don't get into an accident. 

Patrols Certificates

Last week on Monday we had a whole school assembly, I couldn't wait because I always look forward to it. I was so glad that we were outside because it was really hot inside the classroom. When we had finished organizing ourselves we finally got started.

We started off with the patrol certificates, I was really excited to receive mine because I've been waiting to get one all my life. Constable Teina gave the certificates to our principal, Mrs Vickers. When we got our certificates I was so relieved that I could show my parents that I've been participating in
school. 

Athletics

On Tuesday we had Athletics, I was so nervous and excited at the same time. All the seniors were training for it.

When we had athletic we started of with the 400 meter run, for the year seven and eight girls. The people that came first was Julianne, followed by  Meana and lastly me. It was time for the juniors to do the 75 and 50 metre run. Then we started the 100 meter run I came first, Mary came second and Tuposeini came third.Next was the 200 metre run, I was so nervous. It was finally time for my third race which was the 100 metre. The person who came first was Julianne, placed second was me and third was Mary.

It was so tiring, but I kept on going. I am very proud of myself because I tried my best that day.

Manaiakalani Film Festival 2017

By bus we arrived at Sylvia Park. But first we had to grab a little child from room one to look after. When we arrived at Sylvia Park we went straight to the movies to go and watch our film. The year eight film was based on rugby values. We also got to watch other schools films. I was so excited and I couldn't wait. The two people that hosted our film was Vaimoana and Meafou. Our film was one of my favorites and Tamaki Primary's film because they had beautiful voices. Also Tamaki Colleges film. After a while the school films were done and I was so exhausted. 

Our last Test

This whole week we had testing. It was so boring, but it was fine. When we started we would separate like when the year seven's have to go testing in room 11 and year eight's in room 12. The tests that we done was maths. Reading comprehension that took for forty-five minutes. Vocabulary which took for 25 minutes. It was a difficult test, but it was worth it. I was so excited that we were done so we can get it over and done with. I hope I get a better result than before.    

Our Tests

Today it was our test. It was for math and spelling. Our tests for Term 4 was to see if we could be better than before. When we done our test on Term 2. I was so nervous because we only had  two minutes to answer each test. We had an addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and a mixed of all four. Each of it had fifty math problems. It wasn't that hard, but it was when we had to figure it out in two minutes. After when we had finished all the maths test, we then started on the spelling test. It was easy at first and then through out the test it got harder.

School Assembly

It was our first school assembly as a whole school. We started of with the New Zealand National anthem. I was so pleased because we all sang beautifully. Next, Mrs Vickers was talking about how she was so proud of us being back at school with proper school uniforms. After that it was time to hand out certificates and Duffy books to each class. Then it was time to go back to class.  

What I did at Tech?

Every Wednesday we have tech at Tamaki College. Mr Pineda is our teacher for graphics. I was so excited because I like drawing and creating things. 

First of all we had to open a google drawing and type down what graphics means to us. I wrote a lot of ideas and had some help with my friends. Pupuke Mary and I helped each other to get the work done. After when I was finished I carried on with my art that I didn't get to finish last week, I was so proud of it. When I have finished he all told the yr 7's to open a doc and do a Analysis of a Take Away box (3D) But it was time to do it but there's always next week. 

Practice - Cross Country

This morning we had circuits, I wasn't happy. After that we had to run so we could practice for cross country. Since it is coming up. We had to run outside the school in a circle so we could build up our strength. I was so tired but I kept pushing myself to the end. When I was finished with my two laps I was so exhausted but at least we got to rest for a little while till the others came back. I was so proud and happy of myself when I had finished running the two laps. 

Orienteering

At school we had orienteering! I was so excited. We had to use maps to figure out where the control is.  Before we got started we had to listen to Mr Leon for the instruction so we don't get lost, after that we all hurried outside to begin. I had to find a partner, so I picked Teremoana. One person had to get one of the maps and control and put it in the right place. Teremoana went first to go find out were the control is. She would come back with the same map and control. We all had to do at least 10 or 15. After we came back it was time for lunch time.
