Term 1 Week 5 Still 2017

This week was in my opinion a short week. Even though school is getting a lot faster, a lot of things happened and I learned from them.

We had a guest speaker that was actually (the woodworks teacher) Mr Graham's nephew, who happens to be a boxer. He told us the basics to boxing, the training, all the skills that go in to it, and his experiences. I learnt that boxing isn't just punching someone in the snot-box, it's also about the skills and training and listening, which my mum says I need to work on. My jersey in tech arts just keeps getting better. All I need now is the hood, the sleeves and to tidy it up at the end. I can't wait to wear it in the winter.

I also entered a writing competition and I am already finished my first draft, even though it is meant to be handed in by April 1. It is amazing what you can come up with in your imagination when you put your mind to it. Friday was Inter-House Swimming Sports. I am a horrible swimmer, like worse than horrible. I am like an underwater snail that doesn't stick to walls, I float and I don't eat fish poo. Although I am bad, I tried my hardest and gave everything a go. Surprisingly, I didn't come last at anything, except my house Mangapiko came last at the whole thing. I think that we can make a great comeback in Summer Games though, even though it is in Autumn.

That was my week. I can't wait until week 6 because our exchange student from Makuhari, Japan is coming and there is so much that we want to show him. Also there is other things happening in week 6 so hit me with your best shot week 6. Until then. Seeya.
