The last week or so

It's the last week of the term and 'Wow' what a wonderful term it has been.

Knowing that the 2011 Production is starting and heaps of people have been auditioning for parts like Acting,Dancing,Singing and many more things. Lately they have been practising so that means the rest of Room 22's year seven's and eight's are going to different classroom's.

The Room I got split up into Room 19. I enjoyed being in room 19 for the last few days. I knew I should have sign up for something, anything I said to myself. I should have because I have a passion and it is singing.

I don't really like going into different classes sometimes because I like being in my real class and having my real Teacher but, I can't wait for the holidays.

Maths Whizz

While I have been playing on Maths whizz this week the strategy I been working on is the Pencil and paper division.

I enjoy playing on Maths Whizz because I improve more in my maths.

Mrs Richards

Yum. Have you ever tasted Won Tons before I know I have it was my first time. On
Friday it was Mrs Richards last day. She was our student teacher and had been in our class for the last 4-5 weeks.

Mrs Richards even had her own knitting club for people who were interested.

Mrs Richards cooked Chinese food with seven people in the tuck shop. After lunch we sat on the mat waiting for Mrs Richards come in with the food. As soon as I saw it I was shocked because she had cooked so much food for us.

It was my turn to go up and looked at all the food it looked delicious.Every bite was delectable Thank you Mrs Richards and helpers.

Rugby 7's

On Friday our Rugby 7's team had just arrived back from the Aims Games in Tauranga. They had came home us our Pt England champions this year.

We had a special assembly held for our Rugby boys. The boys walked up onto the stage and sat down with their special medals. They shared some of their favourite highlight was. They made us smile until Junior shared his highlight and everyone laugh.

Team 5 Challenge

Yesterday there was a team 5 challenge held at the bottom field for our whole senior block.Every teacher had a cool challenging game prepared for us.

As we walked down to the field and I saw Mr Harris get already and prepared.Then Ms T pulled out a couple of ball and then there hoops already set up I thought we were throwing balls into the hoops and I said to myself “Its going to be easy”!But as soon as Ms T brag out the sling shot I melted down.“Its going to be double trouble”.It was my turn to go up but I was nervous and people might have laughed at me in a mean way so I missed my turn.Then after a couple of times seeing another people do it I didn't realize how much fun it looked so as I was walking to go have a turn but it was time to rotate.

Our second game we played was partnering up tying a rope round your leg and walking with a spoon and tennis ball.So as soon as Mr Harris told us to partner up Emilee and I did.When it was our turn we tied the rope around then I held the spoon and tennis ball.Ready,set,go we went off like two slow snails.I dropped the spoon and ball a couple of time and fell over a few times and it hurt.Then the winner out of our class versed one another it was funny watching some of them fall.

My most favourite game was Mrs Nua’s because it involved water.

Badminton

I have never played Badminton before so I was curious to try something new. On Thursday Morning Room 22 was first to go into the hall to practice how to play Badminton.

At first we kicked off with Laureen inter gusting herself to us.Then we got straight into controlling the shuttle with our badminton sticks.Laureen said always keep focus on the shuttle and always hit it gently then as soon a I looked down I lost my concentration I was worried that I wouldn’t get the hang of it be the end of this lesson.


My favourite activity that I like the most was practice how to hit the shuttle under your legs and hit it back to your partner. At first when I saw Laureen and Charm controlling it and to me it looked Easy-Peasy but trying it and learning how to hit it David and I failed trying to hit it but when Laureen come over to help us and Laureen told David and I that we were hitting it to hard.Then I said to myself this will be a challenge for me 3 shoots at less.

What I really liked about Badminton was controlling the shuttle with your badminton stick and focusing on the shuttle and not looking down.

Presentation of Fiji

This is a presentation that Emilee and I put together about Fiji.With the Rugby World Cup coming up and 20 countries attending, our senior block had to work on different countries. We choose to research Fiji.
