Week 2 Term 1

The past two weeks have been busy.  There have been lots of things to sign up for, and get involved in.  We have had tech arts, in which us year 8's are doing wood.  We're making speakers, and it has been really challenging and fun making them.  There was a band evening for those who wanted to play an instrument, or learn more about after school lessons.  For those who couldn't make it, and for people who went to the band evening and put their names down, there was a meeting at school the next day, and Mrs German wrote our names and the instrument we wanted to play.  I'm going to play clarinet, and I'll find out what time my lessons are on Monday.  We had Minor Games on Friday, our first house competition. We will hopefully hear the results soon.

Week 1 Term 1 2016

Welcome back to my blog for 2016

Today we have our first session of tech arts for 2016.  Us year 8's are doing Wood while the year 7's are doing fabric.  We also have house meetings today, and all the year 8's that are going for house captain have to say a speech and try to convince everyone why they would make a great house captain.  I'm going for house captain, and I'm a little nervous, but I know I'll be fine.  For house captain you also have to write a letter about yourself, and fill in an application.  There are also class councilor positions to go for.  For class councilor you have to write a letter for your teacher.  I'm also going for class councilor because I figured that I may as well try for as many leadership roles as I can because the worst they can do is say that I can't be house captain/class councilor, and even if that happens I can just try and find ways to make myself better, and then try again.  Class councilors get announced in week three, and I think it's the same with class councilor.  I can't wait till then!
