Week 5 Term 3

Bonjour,

I did my speech again on Monday, and I got into team finals!  I am really exited, and nervous because I have to do it again next week in front of my whole team which is like five classes!  On Tuesday we had Tech Arts, and I have started a bit of my bag, and it's really fun making it.  On Wednesday we french in the afternoon, and we are learning our colours, some sound a lot like the english ones.  On Thursday we didn't do much because we had people in and out for most of the day.  On Friday we had Tech Arts, and I almost finished my bag!  I just need to do a bit more then I can take it home.  On Friday we had Cross Country, and the course was three kilometers.  I came 26th out of 97 year 7 girls which I suppose is pretty good for me anyway.
Au Revoir.  

Week 4 Term 3

Bonjour!

It's only week four, and things are already getting exciting for me.  On Monday the year 8's did their speeches, and they were really good, a lot of them got into class finals which means they have to say it again next Monday.  On Tuesday we had Tech Arts, and I finally finished my pillow!  I am going to get a photo of it on my blog today or tomorrow, hopefully.  We have started making a bag now, and mine is going to be really cool.  I am experimenting with some bag designs, but I hope it works.  On Wednesday were the year 7's speeches, and mine went surprisingly well for my first class speech.  It was exactly 3 minutes and 33 seconds, which is kind of perfect timing I suppose, the only thing I did wrong was that I spoke a little too fast, but I still made it into class finals!  I am really happy, and I hope that I will be able to slow it down for Monday.  We also had french again on Wednesday afternoon, and I'm getting quite good with my pronunciation.  Today we don't have much on, Thursdays  are kind of a quiet day for us because most of the class is out at band for most of the day.  We do have singing on Thursdays though, which I quite enjoy, and there is fun Jump Jam at lunch so I am happy!  I can't wait till tomorrow to do some more on my bag in Tech Arts!

Au Revoir!

Week 3 Term 3

Bonjour!
This week has been quite busy for me so far, lots of things have happened.  Puniu (green) won the haka last Friday, even though  they kind of cheated, but I guess we will have to deal with that.  On Monday night, my Chinese students arrived, their names are Helen, and Angel.  They're really friendly, and they're the same age as me!  On Tuesday we had tech arts, (we are still doing a pillow,) and Helen and Angel went to food with Room 2 because its easier for them to cook then sew.  On Wednesday morning, Helen was in my class for the morning, and Angel was in Room 2.  After morning tea, they both had english lessons in Room 11, so I wasn't with them.  After lunch the year 7's had french, and Helen and Angel stayed with the year 8's, and once we got back from french we had Jump Jam.  Helen and Angel tried to join in but had a little bit of trouble following the moves.  Today, Helen and Angel are at band, and I had to sort out all the non fiction books in the library, it was soooo boring!
Au Revoir!
