For the past few of weeks on Mondays and Tuesdays (not today tho), we have been doing Girls Self Defence, and now that we have finished I look back and realize that it has made quite an impact on my life. When I first started Self defence I thought it was just so I could get out of class time. Now that we have finished, I wish it could have kept going because I really enjoyed the learning and all of the different defenses that we could use if we were in dangerous situations. Throughout the session we lernt how to Kick, Punch, Strangle and get someone off you. Our self defence teacher was Linda and she was very good at teaching us all of these strikes and moves. I think this course was useful because now I’m very confident that I can defend myself in diffrent types of situations. I reckon my favourite move was when someone stood in front of you and you flicked their hands off and punched either their nose or stomach. I enjoyed it and I wish that I could do it again and again.

This week was a normal one to say the least. One highlight for this week was tech beacause I got to design a maori pa in Minecraft with Abby,Daisy, Pip and Tygah-leah, I really liked our design, we all had designated areas to work on, Abby and me were on the fence, Tygah and Daisy were doing the trenches, Pip and Eliza were on the food storage. Also another highlight was Action stations because I made a beautiful braclet.One challenge, well there wasn’t any challenge from this week. Overall this week was a good week, but I am looking forward to see what next week brings.

For the past few weeks we have been doing Drama and Theatre sports. Every session we started off with a game, and then we went in to our plays. I was with Dasiy, Pip, Malaya and Zita, I found our play was very interesting and fun. I really enjoyed this action stations. I look forward to the next round of actions.

Today, the year 8’s had to do a leadership thingi and we had to make a spreadsheet full of different school values. Me, Daisy and Malaya made that spreadsheet and we found it the most common school values out of all of them.

This week was a normal week nothing interesting really happened, its kinda hard to pick what would be my highlight cause everything is the same as always. I’d say that my highlight would be doing my mahi a tahi cause I get to write a story, I really like writing stories. There wasn’t really a challange either so, overall I would probably  say that next week might be a little more interesting than this one.

This week is week 2/3 and I feel like these weeks have been going so fast but I guess that’s the fun of it. Waitangi weekend was alright cause I didn’t really do anything, I just sat around doing nothing the whole time. We did some camp prep this morning, just sorting out tents and food groups.

The hilight this week was starting tech. Im in group 8C with Eliza, Abby, Daisy & Pip, doing digi tech with Ms. Gorman. She seems kind and sweet but try not to get on her bad side. We had to do a game that involved code, like computer code.

Anyway the 2nd/3rd week was a full week, not a short one like last week. I enjoyed this week and looking forward to next week.

For the past few days we have been making a idiom poem, and the idiom I chose was ( I acually chose 2 but I’m only gonna use one ) ‘Time is money’. The meaning of my poem is about the time humans have to spend and why we should cherish it. I believe that the poem has a big impact on the reader and I hope it makes them think. Here is the poem I have wrote –

This week for literacy we learnt about Idioms & Figurative and Literal Launguage.

We had to make a slideshow about and here’s is a link to mine.

Today we got to see the Science Fair down in the hall and we saw all different shapes and sizes of experiment, I found it very cool that we all got to create something and display it for others to see. My Favorite display was Tui,Anika M and Eliza’s Soap Display because I found it very funny because it had funny photos of Mr . Redmond. I learnt that soap has a powder form of poison. I found it cool to see my work on display.
