Week 2 Term 4
This week the main event was our schools Grandparents Concert. From 12pm onwards on Friday we were allowed to show our grandparents around the school, and show them what we have been doing for the past three terms. At one o'clock we took all the grandparents into the hall for a concert. There were Kapa Haka acts, the last song from our production 'Battle of the Bands', some songs from our band, a performance from our Jump Jam competition group, and lots more. It was a really great day, and my grandparents came as well, but they didn't stay for the concert because I wasn't in it. I think that the grandparents really enjoyed themselves on Friday, at least I hope they did, and I'm going to try and get involved in something next year.

Week 1 Term 4
It's
already!
already!
This year has gone really fast, and I can't believe I'm going to be a year 8 next year, it feels like just yesterday I started here. We haven't done much for the start of the term, but on Wednesday I went sailing, and it was REALLY fun. We learnt how to sail, then we sailed in pairs, and then we learnt how to sail by ourselves! Milly, our instructor let us play lots of games when we had learnt how to sail. We had to chase after balls, and if you didn't get one you had to try and steal of others. It was an amazing experience, and a big thank you goes out to Milly who was our instructor, and a really good teacher.
Au Revoir! :)

Letter To The Twenty-First Century
This is my poem that I wrote all by myself. I think it is quite good.

Week 10 Term 3
Bonjour!
I came second in speeches this week, second out of all the year sevens in the school. It was so scary when I had to say my speech in front of the whole school, but everyone said that I did great. Everyone was really proud that I had come so far, and I didn't really mind if I hadn't gotten a place anyway because at least I made it to school finals! My speech was about how technology is affecting face to face communication. Everyone thought it was really interesting. For the year eight speeches, only Oksana got a placing, and her speech was about how competitions are a good thing. All the people who got a place for speeches, get an award at the end of the year. Another good thing about coming second in speeches is that I get my photo on the achieves board! The achieves board is for people who make big achievements, and represent our school, and I'm going to be on it! Can't wait until next term starts, but I also am looking forward to the holidays, so I can have a break.

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.

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.

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.
