Cross Country

Last Monday I did Ngatea School cross country! I came 11th and missed out on going to Haruki plains by one place. I enjoyed going up the mud slide hill, and I also liked going through the creak, but I didn't like having to run up the killer hill. My race was the last race so after we got to go straight back to school instead of having to wait and watch everyone else races. I enjoyed it the most because I got muddy and super wet!

Term 3 Goals

This term I want to achieve My blogging milestone, My oral presentation milestone and my be published milestone.

I'm going to update my blog weekly then book in for a conference with Mrs Hull and ask for my blogging milestone. This term I'm also doing a speech on why living in the country is better than living in the city, so I will get my oral presentation if I perform that in front of Marama. Also I have entered a lot of art/writing into the upstart magazine so I'm hoping to get published in the magazine, then achieve my be published milestone.

This term I would like to be brave enough to perform my speech in front of Marama, not just in front of my writing group, but first I have to get some good marks on it.

I would also like get ninety-five out of one hundred marks on my next basic facts test this term.

My last goal this term is to get in the top twelve for cross country.

Grandparents day

On the last day of the last term it was Grandparents day!! My Grandparents came and I showed them how I learnt on the computer and also showed them some of my art. I really enjoyed the day because I got to share all my learning with them and show them how different how syndicate is compared to many other schools senor end. We also had a spacial assembly earlier and some of the year seven and eights got an academic award. I was one of them!! I really enjoyed the whole afternoon! 

J-Rock

This year I participated in J-Rock at the Cladlands event center in Hamilton! There was over 2000 people in the audience and 13 other schools performing! The name of our performance was called time changes, and it was about how technology has changed our lives so much over the past years. I was in the T.V scene where we had to act like little girls that were at a sleep over getting ready to watch their favorite T.V show! I really enjoyed performing it, even though it was nerve raking on the side, And I think that if I get the chance again I would do it!

                     

My term two Highlights

Since it's the end of this term, all of the Marama Students had to do their highlights, weather it was on a doc, or presentation or any other digital design. I chose to use an online photo editor called Pizap. I made a collage of the things that I most enjoyed this term!, which were: The Disco, J-Rock, Technology/Cooking, Waka Ama and NYLD!

My finished zentangle art

Over the past week or two I have been working on this piece of zentangle art, only using sharpie and paint. You had to chose a symbol that represented you, and I chose the flower because I enjoy being outside. I'm proud of myself because I didn't end up having to cover it with any paper, apart from one tiny square, and I also am proud because I blended and mixed the paints with my background. 

Here's a picture:

Disco

Last week on Thursday I went to the Ngatea school disco!!It was just a fun night out to hang with friends. We played the jandle game which is a game were someone runs around the circle holding a shoe and has the other hand out. They have to try grab onto somebody else thats in the circle and once the train gets bigger, when the leader chose throw the shoe away everyone has to run back into the circle but the last one left has to start the game back up. After that we had to slow dance! I slow danced couple of times then went to get some lollies and chocolates outside at the tuck shop. Just towards the end we had a dance off, but I didn't get a prize.... Here's some pictures from the night!
