My Reflection On This Year

My highlight of this year was when I got the opportunity to go with a group of other sutdent to rangitoto island. I have no dislikes about this year.

I will miss my friends and teachers the most, they have taught me a lot of new things this year. That i will treasure throughout my years of college. 

Year 8 movie

Activity Week!!!

This is a short film about my experience which happen last week. I had a wonderful time exploring.

First ever experience of doing Sailing!!!

Wow, last week on Thursday was my first time experiencing sailing. Which made me nervous because I don’t know what to do or how to control the sailboat. My partner was Salote which made me even more nervous because we both don’t know what to do. But lucky our instructor Reuben explain how to control the sailboat and he also gave us some tips on what to do.   

On our first round I was scared because I thought I will fall down and become soaking wet, but at the end of our first round I was relieved that I did not fall. When it came to the second round my partner and I got the hang of handling the sailboat which made it easy to control.

But on the last round I decided to go by myself  which I  thought it was going to be hard because I have never ever went by myself. I was the first one to leave the shore, I was coming first I turned around in circles so i can head back to shore where everyone was waiting for us. I was the first one back.

At the end of the day I had fun learning how to do sailing, and also I learnt a lot just from the one lesson of doing sailing. I will like to go back there in the future and try it again.

E-Asstle writing test.

Last week the school had a e-asstle writing which took 40 minutes. I was not looking forward for this test because I knew that I have not had a lot of practice in my free time at home. I tried my best to complete my piece of writing. But now I know that I should practice more in my free time.

Grandparents Mass...

I started off my day by getting and coming to school, and also attending the whole school mass which was prepared for the all grandparent. I was so shocked to see a lot of grandparents there. The Grandparents mass turned out to be a success, and i also was sad because my grandma couldn’t make it and also my grandpa but i know he is looking down on me and saying " I am proud of my grand children." It was also touching.

Friends - God has created.

Learn: I can Find a sign that helps me to know that God is present, by seeing my friends plating and laughing helps me to know that God is present in that person

Why do you think God Created Friends?

Our loving God has blessed me with a group of caring and helpful friend who I can turn to when I need to open up to someone. They are there to listen to what I have to say and I am there for them when they need me, we all got each others back. They help me to remember what a kind and big heart God we have looking down on us.

Do you think God is beautiful?

Yes, I think God is beautiful because he bless all of us with many great gifts and people that love and support us throughout our life. He has also blessed us with many of his creations by giving life to all living things in this earth today.

Who Am I ?

I am a sea creature that lives underwater. My medium sized body in full of beautiful ombre colours that go from black to blue to yellow all over, but in this case my body has yellow stripes, black and white scales, blue short tail. I am found in streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds, I hide around and inside old tree stumps  and other places underwater. I can grown up to 12 inches long and about

4 1/2 pounds. Have you figured out who I am?

First Hockey Lesson

WOW. Mixed emotions started to hit me just like that, just because I heard the words “ okay head to the hall, it is time for hockey.” Once room 7 made their entrance into the hall the first thing we saw was the  hockey sticks, cones and twos goal on each side of the hall.  Once we settle down, the first thing we did was warm up with a relay.  It was very hard doing a bear crawl  because the floor was slippery.

Next we practised doing hockey drills, it was very hard because I have never played hockey  but I tried my best. We also played a game of hockey, it was very hard because the floor was slippery but I managed not to fall. It was my turn I versed 2 boys they were very rough, I got hit with a hockey stick on my hand that was so hurtful that I got a bruised hand. I am sure every body had a

great time learning new hockey drills and how to play original hockey.

Our  first hockey session was a  great first lesson. I learnt a lot of new rules, drill during that session.

Rainbow Fish

Statement:

Why should rainbow fish give her scales away? I think Rainbow fish made a good choice to give away her scales.

Reasons:

Firstly, because he is lonely and has no one to play with, and if he gives them one he will not be lonely and has someone to play with.

Secondly, he should do something that makes him happy and feel good about himself.

Lastly because he felt happier when he gave away his scales, but before he felt really upset that he has lost his friends.

Conclusion:

I really enjoyed reading this book. Also this book actually taught me something, it doesn't matter what's on the outside what matters is what's on the inside. Also to think about other people

Basic Facts Test.

During my protect Maths test I tried to different test I did a Stage 6 and stage 7. I think I did good in both test.

Holiday Recount.

During my holidays there were a lot of mixed emotions. For me the holidays was about spending more time with my little siblings.  Everywhere I go they follow me, I felt like a mother duck with her little siblings.  From time to time they would be watching a lot of television, They were very eager to be outside.

So we raced outside, to get stuck into a game. After playing, I started to get dehydrated so I needed water . Later that  day I  became extremely  tired so I decided to have a rest. While everyone was resting, I snuck out and went to the shops and brought  me something.

While I was walking to the shop I felt scared & nervous, because I've never walk to the shops alone. I thought someone was stalking me because I saw shadows, but when I look back I saw nothing. Once I got to the shops I felt relieved.

I loved spending time with my family, and friends. To wrap everything up I had an amazing holiday spent with my siblings.
