Week 6 - Term 1

This week the Makuhari students arrived, it was exciting because it was different having new people in our classes and around the school. At Tech arts we were cutting out our design at sewing them onto our bags it was hard to get everything straight and to not go over the edges of our design.  This week we were writing our reports for the student led conferences, we had to include what we were good at, what we need to improve on and what our goals are. I finished my Waitangi report on Friday, it was going to be an explanation but it sounded more like a report and we were allowed to change our learning intention. At extension art we are practising our painting on paper, we did a wash on our canvas on thursday, I did mine light blue, and now we need to find out how to make the colours in our pictures. We had our first long Rock band practise on thursday, we had it for the whole afternoon block, Mr Ellis taught me a new strum to play in our song it's hard to remember because it's different to the one I was doing.

Week 5 - Term 1

This week we had swimming sports, it was fun I went in all the non competition races and I was fast enough to get into the 50 meters freestyle competition and the Waikato House Year 7 girls relay team. We had our first student assembly this week with the new student council, it was very different to Monday morning assembles. At Tech Arts we have started making our bags so far we have designed and cut out shapes to go on it. We also did a fun quiz about books, it was the Lit quiz I did it at lunch time to see if I was good enough to be in a competition, I got 22 out of 50.
