Bonjour everyone!
We had band festival on Thursday, and it was very bust at our school. All the Jazz Bands, and Symphonic Bands from other schools came and played, and it was very cool to listen to. Our schools Jazz Band preformed at 9:40, and our schools Symphonic Band preformed at 11:50. I'm part of the Symphonic Band. Everyone did SO well, and should all be proud of themselves especially the Symphonic Band who got a gold award!
We had our cafe on Friday, and it was so much fun! Sadly Mrs Fynn wasn't there, but luckily we had a cool new substitute teacher, Mrs Germann! She helped us with all the things everyone was making. I had a bit of trouble with my cake pops, as I made the icing WAY too runny, and so it just ran straight off my cake pops and all the icing left on them was clear because there wasn't enough icing to cover it. Since the icing was WAY too runny the eyes kept sliding off, and it made me really sad because I wasn't sure how to save them, but I still decorated them and put them in the fridge. I kept checking on them, and pushing the eyes back up, and at one point I just pushed one of the octopus's eyes up, so they overlapped, and they stayed, so I did that to all of them, and they turned out just fine. I've got a picture of one of my practice lots that I did on Tuesday, so I'll put that on here soon.
A Bientot!

Week 2 Term 3
Bonjour!!
I can't believe it's week 2 of term 3 already!!!!! This year is going so quickly, and I'm so not looking forward to leaving, but at the same time I'm SO excited for college.
On Tuesday at tech arts we figured out the theme for our cafe. We were stuck between under the sea, and beach themes, so we decided to do beach, and rope under the sea in with it. Then we began to make our invitations. I'm inviting my mum, but that's all. For my card I used a yellow piece of paper and cut the back so it would be a pop-out, then I put some blue paper on top of the hole to cover it. On the inside for the pop-out part, I made an octopus with googly eyes, and stuck it on. It looks really cool. After making invites, we had to decide what we were going to make, and I'm making octopus cake pops, that why I put the octopus on my card! I haven't told mum what I'm making though, I want it to be a surprise. Here is a picture of what I want it to kind of look like:
On Friday we had our first go at making our dish, and mine looked nothing AT ALL like that picture. I made my octopus orange, because I didn't want purple, and the eyes look really big because I used white chocolate buttons, and milk chocolate drops. But I didn't put smiles on, maybe that's why it didn't look good last time? I'll try with a face next Tuesday.
Au Revoir!

Week 1 Term 3
Back to school!!!
The holidays flew by WAY to fast! I got up to heaps of stuff, and barely had any time for anything else. In the first week we worked on my mums Arapuni house from Monday-Friday. Then Saturday I went to a funeral for Aleesha, which was really sad, and after that I went to my friends house for her birthday sleepover. Then we got up really early on Monday, and went to Coromandel from Monday-Wednesday, and we relaxed the whole time. On Thursday my mum had a dentist appointment, and we had netball practice that evening. On Friday, we had a free day from running around endlessly. Then on Saturday, I had netball and lacrosse, then went to my other friends house for her birthday on Saturday night. I didn't get home until late afternoon Sunday. I wish the holidays had gone slower, or there had been more:(
