TERM 2 WEEK 1
Now it's Term 2 and I'm pumped about this term and what comes from it.
Monday we had a Powhiri to welcome our new Japanese teacher "Etsko" and Room 6's new teacher for when their teacher goes on maternity leave. On Tuesday in the morning of course we did Tech Arts. I'm doing pretty good with my truck. I've got the sides and the bottom of my truck done and I've cut out the wheels. I've learnt how to use a lot of tools and machines because of Design. Also how to FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! We also did some maths like Monday. I had my saxophone practice after school. I think that I am getting better. On Wednesday some students in our class did this problem solving Otago University test. I don't know how well I did but hopefully I did good. On Thursday morning we had some band practice. We got a new piece of music that is really popular and classic. "Supercalifrajelisticexpealadocius." Hard to spell right? We also had choir practice which was pretty normal. On Friday morning it was Tech Arts and well let's just say the sanding machine and I bonded. I accidentally slipped when I was sanding the front of my wheel and made a good flatspot on my finger and gave my stomach a graze. Here's my finger now.

Term 1 Week 11, FINAL WEEK!
This week we had 2 days of actual school. Monday in the morning we had English and I can't remember what we actually did. After interval we had some finishing off maths and after lunch we had PC, otherwise known as Pubertal Change. So many people were disgusted by the undeniable truth. Everyone would also laugh at some funny stuff like penis growths and wet dreams and disgusting stuff. On Tuesday morning we had Tech Arts. My truck is getting better. I cut out my wheels and I learnt how to finish the truck. Unfortunately I'm not finished yet. After interval I finished all my maths. Yay. After lunch we watched a video about PC. We also finished it off. I sighed of relief that the facts of creepiness was over. The next day we left for camp at Narrows Christian Camp which is 20 minutes away. It's still really fun. I learnt how to fall on my face, take a hit from a paintball, ride a go-kart, make a fire, get the red at archery, twist my leg in rope, shoot with an air rifle, run from carnivores, score a three in basketball, ride 27 laps on a go-kart track on a bmx bike, and back flip on a mattress. A fun-filled friendly 3 days. Narrows is awesome. I can't wait for Term 2.

In Tech Arts I managed to jam my finger, tightening my wood, trying to drill a hole.
I can't wait for camp next week!

Term 1 Week 7 :)
This week was splendid, I can't wait for next week.
On Monday we had assembly and did some English work.
On Tuesday I finally finished my bag in tech arts. I'm pleased with the outcome. I also scraped my leg. OUCH!
On Wednesday, when I was on matheletics I got 150 credits from one test. I also did Jump Jam and our class won. I also cracked my voice. Now it's really painful.
On Thursday we did some stuff that I've already forgotten. Silly me.
On Friday we had our farewell assembly for the Makuhari students from Japan. I was also hit in the eye with a tennis ball.
So that was my week.

Term 1 Week 6
This week was epic. We practised our sentence structure and about FANBOYS and AAAWWUBBIS words. The golden rule with AAAWWUBBIS words if they're in the middle of a sentence then there is no comma. FANBOYS are for compound sentences and AAAWWUBBIS are for complex.
On Tuesday we got back in to our bags in Tech Arts and we did our class boating lesson with the swim safety people. I also had another after school practice for Alto Saxophone.
On Wednesday I forgot what we did. On Thursday our Head Students were decided and they are Amy, Raiha, Cheng-Yu, and Matthew. Also the Makuhari students arrived from Japan.
On Friday we welcomed our Makuhari students with a Powhiri and we had a regular and did Tech Arts as well.
