TERM 2 WEEK 8!

I know I have'n't been posting any blog posts lately but other things got in the way.

Last week (week 7) I got to compete against St Patrick's school in indoor bowls and Kaia & I ended up getting 2nd in the tournament, because we were in pairs. Then I was going to go to a competition in Hamilton but Gymsport Festival is on the same day and I committed to that first so I can't do indoor bowls.

Monday morning (after interval) we played volleyball and I found it really fun. You have to work as a team and use all your players if you want to succeed. 

In Tech Arts on Tuesday we made paper planes and Kaleb taught me how to make a really cool plane. Turns out, I already knew how to make it, I just forgot how to. It was our 2nd to last session. 

Thursday we had our WIMS Music day and Ethan, Angel and I represented choir. The songs we sung were Skyfall, Shut up and dance and Hello/One call away. It was a hard days work, but it was fun. We also had Junior TALOS choir again and I really enjoyed it, again. We learnt some more games and a couple of new songs for our production.

Friday was our last session in Science and we had to make an octagonal pyramid out of scissors, 40 straws and tape. It was fun. We did'nt finish because we ran out of straws. The hard bit was it was an octagonal pyramid. Like this.
made ofNext we have Music.

Term 2 Week 6 This year is going so fast.

There was no school on Monday because it was Queens Birthday. It's not her actual birthday, but it's when everyone celebrates it.
At Science, on Tuesday, we finished our marble runs. I was certain that ours would come last because when we timed ours it was 5 seconds, but Patrick & Max's marble roll faltered so the time was 0 seconds. 

This week we finally got to try out Indoor Bowls. I learnt that there is a flatter side & a rounder side. The flatter side goes on the inside and the rounder on the outside, so that when you roll, you aim for close to the outside to curl inside. I was pretty good so I get to trial for a competition. That was also really fun.

Again Thursday is music day. I learnt that I am getting really good. I am also going to WIMS Music Day on the 23rd, representing choir with my brother and someone else. I also learnt some new songs in Choir, like "We Go Together" and "River of Dreams." We go together is a song from "Grease" which has a lot of made up words like rama-lama-lama and chang-chang-changity-chang-cha-chang.

This week I've been inside at lunchtimes so I learnt to get my work in on time or suffer the consequences.

On Wednesday afternoon we finally had our Winter Games.
I learnt how to play Karatu Ball Tag.
It's really fun.  

Term 2 Week 5

Mrs Crowe wasn't here on Monday or Tuesday so we had relievers.

On Monday we had assembly, which was boring, but after interval we were meant to have volleyball at 11;00, yet Mr McCabe talked to us about the problems of the world and how we don't care and we're greedy creatures. Because of that I did'nt get much work done.

Also it was the first time I got to go back to tumbling at gymnastics. I managed to get back in to gym pretty well.

On Tuesday we had science and because Ethan & I weren't here last Friday, we were far behind in our marble run. We had to create a marble run using the following. 2 pieces of big card, 1 marble, tape, scissors and pencil. Ethan and I are like 1/4 (quarter) way finished.

After school I had my saxophone lesson. I'm doing a lot better at my alto saxophone.

On Wednesday, Mrs Crowe returned from her teaching course, was way behind with my work. So I had to stay in at lunch.

On Thursday, well, it's basically my musical day now. In the morning I have Senior Band. I learnt some new pieces such as: Royals, Riptide, Hawaii Five-Oh and Lady Madonna. After interval I have Jazz Band and I got a solo in Moves like Jagger by Maroon Five. After that it's school singing. Then after lunch I have choir. We basically just practiced some songs because Whaea Rangi wasn't here today.

And that was my week.
