They done all types of cool things it was like we were at the circus, there were tigers and horses so much more but the best about the performance was when these people were doing gymnastics, this one girl could hold on to the hoop with the neck they were all so amazing. after the show had finished it was time for lunch my friends and i had a talk with our teacher about what we had to say for our presentation, i had chose to do a poster and write about humanity but my friends chose to write about the earth and what lives on it. When the bell went to go back into class my friends and i sat at the back of the class so we could talk about what we were doing tonight.

Ski Camp

Last week the year 8 and 7 went on ski camp.We had to be at school by 7:00 because we had to leave by 7:30, I had sat by my friend on the way down. it had taken us about 8-10 hours to get down there but we had some stops now and again for morning tea and lunch.The first thing that we done when we got down there was find out what rooms we were in, I was in a room with Satin, Carney and 1 mother. The next morning was time to go skiing we had an early morning wake up. when we had got down to the snow the first thing that we had to do was get into our groups it didn't take long for us so we were the first group to go get our boots and skis. After all the groups had got there skis we got a lesson on how to actually ski for beginners, the teacher that i was with was really nice and helpful her name was Ruby.This was my little recap on day 1 of camp here are some photos of us skiing and more things we had done:

Last weekend we had our netball break up. it was so much fun and we all had such a good time, we first had to meat up at the school for everyone to come I had been waiting there for about 5 minutes until we all got there. We had arrived at flip out earlier then we had planed so we were playing games for around 10 minutes.After flip out we went strait to the wave pools, my friend and I didn't go swimming so we went to go get pizza with our teacher. Over all the day was really fun and I will miss all the girls and boys.   

Fun run

On Monday we had our fun run if you dont know what a fun run is its a cos country run but we have fun activity to go along we had also finished our fun run with a mud fight and a swim.

Bees

For the past 3 weeks our focus in class have been bees, our writing topic was also bees so I thought it would bee a good idea to share it with u today.Fun fact about bees is that One bee has to fly about 90,000 miles (three times around the globe) to make one pound of honey.

This weekend we had our second to last netball game. It was so much fun and was one of our best games this season, the score of the game was 22-9 we had won and we have our last game this Friday and we also have our prize giving we might be sitting at 3rd place in our division. The people that won players of the day were Kingston and Maddie I think they really earned it.

Assembly (doctors office skit)

Last week on Friday we had our Assembly, it was really cool and my favorite item  we had done was the doctors office skit it was really entertaining to watch and they were all good actors.

Weekly 3

Today in class we had to do weekly 3 if you don't know what weekly 3 is it's a maths slide that we have to do every Friday it's really fun and I recommend it.

student conference

For the past week we have been doing our student conference so I have chosen to share it on my blog. If you don't know what a student conference it's a conference that the student dose with there mum or dad they also have to tell them how they have been in school and extra.

My holiday

Today was the first day back at school after the holidays and it felt really weird being back even though I was here for a week of the holidays doing kapa haka. We had started class with the new things that had been added to school like the rubbish monsters and how were not allowed any drinks at school other than water and milk. I really hope that thins year will be fun and better than last year I cant wait till we go on all our coo trips.
 
My holiday: In the holidays i had so much fun but the best thing about it would have to be when  i went to the movies to watch the lion king with my cousin, it was so cool and i enjoyed it a lot it was just like the animated movie but better. I only cried in 2 parts when Simba's  dad died and when simba almost died :). over all i had such a cool holiday and cant wait for this term to be over.

The past Friday I had participated in maromaku day, it was really fun and we had won all our games. I had also played in 2 teams witch was really fun but was hard at the same time, I had so much fun spending time with my friends playing netball and enjoying the bus ride to there and back. I had really enjoyed myself as it was the first time playing with my School when last year was different when I played with another team.

This week is our last week of term 2 and its been really fun but I will really miss my friends and my teachers even if I will be seeing them in the holiday for kapa haka. My most best thing about this term would probably be meeting new people and learning new things in math, I have also enjoyed playing in weekend netball and even if we weren't  the best I still had fun with my friends

Te Reo Maori

This week every Tuesday in Maori classes with one of our teachers we have been learning simple sentences in Te Reo, I had really enjoyed learning them and what they mean. I am still not confident with saying it in front of the class but I will get there soon.

Netball

Last weekend we had one of many netball games and we had sadly lost 8 to 15. I would have to say they were really good and they deserved to win, something I could improve on by our next game would be how to get in front of the other player and not to jump to early. Over all I think we played really good and we will win next time.

Rocket challenge

This week in class we have been learning how to make a rocket out of different things such as bottles, ice cream lids and hot glue. we had to get into groups and make one, I had so much fun making it and working with my group I can't  wait until we get to launch it.

The rocket challenge

This week and last week we had been learning about how to launch a rocket. My group and I were so excited to watch our rocket launch and learn about how it works. My teacher has put together a video off our class rocket  and when they had got launched, something I have learnt from this experiences is that if it is windy or raining than you can't launch your rocket i have also learnt that when your are launching your rocket you can't go over 60psi.
Here is our video:

♡Netball♡

This Friday we had our school fundraiser disco for Kapa Haka. It was so much fun meeting  up with my friends and going crazy when dancing. all the food we had was so yummy and was gone so fast, we played so much fun games like spin the bottle, dance battles and much more. My favorite bit about it all would have to be when they put on a slow song from high school musical and my friends and I all started to slow dance together it was so much fun and I cant wait for all the up coming discos.

It was so much fun and i got to meet more of my cousins from my dads side. the first  thing we done was set up the tent and get lunch ready than we dashed straight into the water and swam all the way out to the pontoon. we played a couple games than it was time for lunch. after lunch we all went to my uncles house and had a big boon fire, roasted marshmallows and set of some fireworks and we all stayed up late and went star gassing.

My holidays

during the holidays my mum, my cousins and i wen to the movies to watch the new avengers move that just came out called the end game. my favorite part off the movie was the end when all the  avengers came together to fight for the plaint the love. i really enjoyed  it  and would recommend it if you have not seen it. the sad parts in the movie for me was when black widow sacrificed her life for everyone's life.

My friends and i were the first ones done so we got to go out to lunch first, our teacher asked us if we wanted to come into town with her to get our lunch early so we went. From town i got a glaze doughnut and a iced tea my friends got the same as me but a pink doughnut but the same drink. when we got back to school we had to run to English class because it was on the other side of the school when we made it the teacher sent us to the principals office and he said "these girls are late to class" the principal didn't really care all he said was "its all good just don't be late next time".

I have really  been enjoying the year so far and cant wait o see what will happen at the end of the year.☺️
