New Furniture

This week our syndicate got new furniture to suit the way we learn! We have a table with a white board on top - (Stuck to the top!) We have three awesome little chairs, a bar/high bench thing with four stools, and two different collaborative tables! Now that we have the new furniture, we can bond more with our groups, and are able to complete work faster and easier! 

Group Day

On Wednesday I participated in the Hauraki Group Day! I took my lamb Vanilla, and got a fourth for rearing, and another fourth for participating in the lading parade. For my calling I got a fifth - Which I missed out on a ribbon. And another fifth for my actual leading ring. I enjoyed the day even though there was tougher competition, and I'm proud of my lamb for getting me two ribbons!

Calf Club

Yesterday I competed in the Ngatea Primary Schools calf club! I took my lamb Vanilla and got 2nd in leading, then took out reserve champion for leading. And I also got a merit for my obstacle course! Since this is my last year I have decided to go through and compete in the HP Group Day, and I might possibly do the HP Show..... But that depends on how well I go at Group Day.

Year Eight Testing

Today all the year eights had to sit three tests in a row! Our first test was a maths test that we had to complete in 45 minutes, Our second test was a reading test that we had 25 minutes for, and our third test was a vocabulary test that we had another 25 minutes to complete it. We had to complete these tests because all of us are going to collage next year, and the tests are just to give the teachers some ideas for what classes we might need to be in. Now all of us just have to wait and see what classes we are going to be in! 

Goals for this term

This term I would like to achieve my 'Be Published' Milestone. If I want to achieve this milestone, I will have to enter myself into the Upstart magazine over and over again until some sort of my learning gets published.

My second goal for the term is to try get 90-ish out of 100 in my basic facts test. To achieve this goal I will have to work hard on my times and divides. 

My third goal for this term is to go through to Hauriki Plains Athletics. To achieve this I will have to do lots of running and practice jumping over high things - For high jump.

Volley Ball

Over the past term Marama have been walking down to the collage to learn volley ball skills from older year elevens. We had to learn the spike, serve, dig and set. After a couple of weeks practicing different ways to hit the ball, we all had to participate in a torment! We had to VS all the other seven teams then whoever came out with the most points won the competition! The team I was in came first equal with another team, and after the competition had finished, each person in our team got a certificate and two Fredos for participating! I enjoyed learning the volley ball skills and am proud of my team for coming first equal!

Term 3 Highlights & Evaluation

Last term all Marama students had to complete either a short film or a presentation of their highlights, and also evaluation on their year. This is my Term 3 Highlights and Evaluation short video.
