Week 2 Term 2

Hi Everybody :-)

This week we haven't had as much on.  On Monday we had the day off because it was Anzac day, and I went to the Anzac parade at 11 o'clock, because my older brother and my younger sister were in it for St.John, and I also wanted to see Te Awamutu Intermediate lay their wreath on behalf of the school.  After lots of people laid their wreaths, their were speeches, and then the release of 100 red balloons to represent poppies and soldiers who fought for our country.  Here is a photo of the memorial were everything happened.

Yesterday we had P.C, the worst subject in the world, P.C stands for Pubertal Change.  It is a really disgusting subject to learn about, and we did it all day!  The worst bit about P.C is I have to do it again next year, and I am NOT looking forward to doing the whole thing again.

Today, mostly everyone in the class has gone on band camp, there are about nine people who haven't, and I'm one of them.  I don't know what you do at band camp, but the year 8's seemed pretty excited, so I just hope that they have a good time.

My Character Description

This is my Character Description I have been doing for the past week or two, it is a made a description that I did all by myself, and it is pretty good ( if I do say so myself).

Why Me?

She looked around the room, then suddenly at me.  She flashed her wicked lipstick smile and I knew I wasn't in for a treat.  She glared at me with her beady eyes and I knew she had picked me.  I scanned the room, searching for a place to get out, I couldn't.  I was stuck here with this wicked witch.  Her wispy gray hair crawled in front of her wrinkled face.  She frowned, stuck it

back behind her ear and turned her attention back to me.  Her bright dress twisted as she bent down to look at me.  "You can do a job for me" she wheezed.  I held down the vomit which had emerged into my throat from her reeking breath.  A voice howled inside of me, "no, please no!"  

I closed my eyes and wished this day had never even started, I thought of being home in my nice warm bed again.  I opened my eyes and she was standing there, staring at me again.  She stood up and straightened her wrinkled dress.  She beckoned me with her witchy finger, her nail gleaming in the sunlight.  I gulped, then stood up and followed her, thinking about which horrible job she was going to give me.  Her ugly heels clicked and clacked as she led me in to the hallway, my friends mouthed good luck to me as I exited the room, shaking with uncontainable fear.  She lead me to a room at the very end of the hallway, I imagined a big dark room with lots of spooky equipment and shivered, I was freaking myself out, she wouldn't make me do anything that bad.  We walked into the room and I breathed a sigh of relief.  It was just a small box like room, with a desk and computer.  She trecked into the narrow wooden wardrobe and came back with a mop and a bucket of water.  My heart sank.  "Get mopping" she growled.  She strolled out of the room, and the last thing I heard was an evil cackle.  Frustrated, I grabbed the mop, and got to work, but the whole time one thought lingered in my mind.  

Why me?

Week 1 Term 2

It's Term 2, Yay.  We are back at school and we are using our devices even more now, I have got my tablet at school and it is quite handy to have when everyone needs a device, because I don't have to worry about getting a device.
Summer games are today and I am doing non-stop cricket, I can't wait!
Us Year 7's have also started art for Tech Arts, and it is super fun.  We are making clay jandals and they are going to look really good when they're done!  We are also making another piece of art and what we have to do is pick a shape that represents New Zealand or something that represents you.  The shape I picked was Marmite, and what we have to do with our shape is draw it on a piece of paper and then fill it with stuff we love, or things that represent New Zealand.
Today we also had the ANZAC service, we heard poems, stories and letters, it was so sad, I nearly cried.  Also, the SHINE painting is done, and it looks amazing!  Here is a photo of it:

That painting is out at the front of the school, I can even see it from my classroom!

As you can probably already tell, I am having heaps and heaps of fun at TAI, (Te Awamutu Intermediate,) but sometimes it does still feel a little strange being at intermediate and not at primary, but I'll get used to it.

Week 9 Term 1

This term has been incredibly fun for me, I have made lots of new friends and I have settled into Te Awamutu Intermediate really well.
I am having heaps of fun doing things like Tec Arts, Jump Jam, and keyboard lessons, and I am sure that I will get involved in lots more activities at this school.  I am really excited to start school again next term, and I also really excited for my friends from primary to get to this school next year!!!
