Rafting!!

On Friday my class and I had an amazing trip at  Wero Whitewater park. I was really excited to start the journey because I have never experienced kayaking before.

As soon as the bus arrived I had mixed emotions, I felt excited and nervous all at the same time.
First we discussed how dangerous rivers are and how we can cross them. My favourite part was going down the waterfall while standing up and dancing.

I had a really enjoyable time On Friday and


I hope I can again one day.

Tech

On Wednesday we had tech. The students received a large piece of paper from Miss Ferguson. First we folded the paper to make four squares. On each square we had to come up with good ideas of how we can adjust games to make it unique.

On my first paper I decided to do chess because it is a hard game to create but I think it would look good at the end. I switched the chess pieces to super heroes because I find super heroes cool.

I hope I finish  game my chess as soon as possible.

Rippa Rugby!!

Last week was our last session with Corey for Rippa Rugby.  It was devastating to finish our Rippa Rugby sessions  because I have learnt a lot in past few weeks and it was so much fun.

Rippa rugby was fun because I was able to interact with other students by using comms (communication). It was a fun activity to participate in!

I hope to play Rippa Rugby again.

Graphics!!

On Wednesday we transferred to graphics class from cooking. I was excited to go graphics class and see what they do there.

Before we started Miss Ferguson introduced herself. She explained where she came from and what she enjoys. Graphics class was fun because we learned many things about other people. Miss Ferguson is very encouraging during making crafts.

I look forward going to the next graphics lesson sooner this day!

New Zealand Teachers Go on Strike!!

New Zealand teachers are going on strike tomorrow. Not only primary teachers, but secondary teachers too. This is the biggest strike the teachers in New Zealand have ever had.

Teachers are going on strike for money, but besides that they are worried that in ten years time teachers will retire and there will not be enough teachers. I think this is important because without teachers there will be no one to teach the children about education.

I hope there will be more teachers in the future to support students' education.

Chocolate Muffin

Football

On Wednesday some of the year 7 and 8 girls, 5 and 6  boys were chosen to compete at  Point England reserve for the soccer inter schools tournament. Before we arrived at our destination, my emotions were going wild, but I was nervous and excited at the same time.

As soon as we arrived the boys immediately started there first game. Being on the sideline the girls were cheering for them. The year 7 and 8 girls had a draw in 3 games and lost 2 other games. When we were on our last game my feet and my legs felt painful so I couldn't walk properly.

It was a great opportunity for me to participate in the soccer game.
