Week 10 - Term 1

This term I have learnt lots especially in maths. The thing I have enjoyed the most this term was our camp because we went to Wellington and I had never been there before. So far in tech arts we have finished sewing and are halfway through science. I am enjoying year eight science and I think it is funner and we have been learning more than we did last year. We have been learning about atoms and molecules.

I have already been to a few out of school activities including the triathlon and the young leaders day. I also enjoyed having a Japanese student for two weeks. Shiori taught us a lot about Japan and the culture there.

The weekend before camp Brylee, Emily and I travelled to Auckland to audition for one of the Jump Jam 18 videos. We had a short workshop and after lunch we auditioned to see which line we would be in. Brylee and I both got a place in the middle block and Emily got a place in the last block. The song that we did was "Shake it off" by Taylor Swift. Hopefully later in the year we can teach this routine to the rest of the school.

Next term I am going to be involved in a few out of school activities including the Tough guy and gal challenge and the Lit quiz. I did both of these last year so I know what to expect. I have been involved in lots of activities in school and hopefully next term I can trial for some of the sport teams like Belmont netball.

So far this term we have had three Inter House events, Waikato is winning at the moment because we came first in Minor Games, second in Swimming and second in summer games which we had last week on Friday. Next term we have Inter House Winter Games.

I have enjoyed being part of the student council so far this year and I am looking forward to organising discos and mufti days next term.
