Week 9 Term3

Bonjour,

This term is almost over, YAY!  I have school finals for speeches next week and I am getting quite nervous.  Lot of things have happened this week.  One of the major things that happened this week was my foot.  Grace accidentally stepped on it in the relay on Thursday, so it is swollen and bruised.  But I forgave her!  Another thing that happened this week was the Japan trip.  A group of lucky students have payed to travel to Japan.  They left on Monday, and don't come back until Saturday next week.  The only person from my class who went was Mya, a year 8.  Another event that happened was that the Aims Games people got back, and they had heaps of trophies with them.

Au Revoir!

Week 8 Term 3

Bonjour,

School speech finals are in two weeks, and I'm so nervous!  The year 7's are on Tuesday, and the year 8's on Thursday.  To make matters worse, I"m the only year 7 from my class doing it.  Anyway, lots of other things have happened this week, for example:

Aims Games
The Aims Games people left on Monday, and got back on Friday.  Aims games is a New Zealand wide sporting event where lots of people/teams go to play against other schools or even adults.  I wasn't apart of this event.

The Year 6 Enrollment Evening
The enrollment evening was on Wednesday, and it is where year 6's come, and learn about our school for when they come next year.  I was at the enrollment evening modeling the uniforms.

Ski Trip
The Ski Trip people leave on Sunday, and get back on Thursday next week.  The Ski Trip is when a group of students pay to go to the ski mountains, and have a wonderful time learning how to ski.

That's pretty much all the things that happened this week.

Au Revoir

Week 7 Term 3

Bonjour,

Lots of things happened this week, for example:
Wims Kapa Haka
Murrays Bay
and the Aims Games people also left in the weekend

Sadly, I am not involved in any of these activities, but at lest I could get ahead in my work because there wasn't as much noise as usual.  We have mufti day next week though, and I am quite excited.  At the mufti day they're selling bandannas, to funraise for a brand called Canteen, and Canteen are supporting young people living with cancer.  Also, at lunch time on mufti day they're going to do a sausage sizzle, and the person running that is Kyra Lummans, and she has decided to also funraise for cancer because recently her step mum lost a fight against cancer, so Kyra decided to take a stand.  She has shaved her head, and raised hundreds of dollars for Canteen so they can help others like Kyras step mum.  Kyra is also my sisters friend, so she comes over to my house a lot, so she can have some time away from her home.

Au Revoir :)

Week 6 Term 3

Bonjour,
I did my speech again this week, and it went really well.  I got in to school finals!!!  School finals is in the last week of this term.  When I was doing team finals there were seven year 7's, and only two made it into school finals, and it was me, and another girl named Alissa.  Her speech was about how we should have more theme parks in New Zealand.  It was quite interesting.  On Tuesday I finished my bag for Tech Arts, and I am hoping to get a picture of it on here ( along with a picture of my pillow I never put on).  The rest of the week was pretty much the same.  On Friday we started normal Friday sport again, and I am doing Jump Jam.
Au Revoir

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!
