Highlights of this year

Hello everybody and welcome back to my blogggg. This week I am going to be talking about two of my favourite moments this year. Now I know it says only one of my favourite things to talk about on the task sheet but I'm going to be talking about 2 so deal with it.

Speech competiton
The reason I liked this so much is because I did so well and I had to perform it in front of the whole school because I got into the top four of the year 7s. It was interesting how the order went because in front of the whole class I was a little bit nervous, then in front of the whole syndicate I was really nervous, but in front of the whole school I wasn't nervous at all. Overall I worked really hard to get what I got in the speech competition and I was very pleased with myself.

ICAS maths
In this competition I did really well and it was the best result I had ever got for ICAS exams. I got a distinction for the ICAS maths by getting 28/40 and getting in the top 11 percent of the country. I was surprised because I did not study very much but while I was doing the test I wasn't finding the questions too hard. Overall I got a really good result on the ICAS and I am very pleased.

This year I think the big day out will be at the zoo because we've gone to we usually go there or Zealandia.

So that's my post for this week. Please comment below about your highlights of this year.

Being a year 8

Bye Bye people

Book Week

Sup everybody and welcome back to my bloooooooog. This week I am going to be talking about the book week activities I enjoyed such as the parade, Quiz and Kate De Goldi.

The first activity I am going to talk about is the parade and had lots of fun for this one because I was one of the judges. There were 3 categories for the book character day: most realistic, most creative and best group. We also split them into 4 different groups years 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 and year 7-8.  But we found out that judging wasn't as easy as we thought it would be and we struggled to choose the best costumes. Some of the best costumes we chose were Richie McCaw,  a Pirate and Ana and Elsa.

The next thing I am going to be talking about is my favourite thing that happened on the day, the book quiz. This is because every quiz was worth 500 house points and there were four quizzes. I played a big part because Henry and I made the year 1 and 2 quiz and also read it out to them. The problem was Evans didn't do very well because they didn't earn any points whatsoever which I wasn't very happy about. But it was the most fun part of my day so never mind.

The last thing I am going to be talking about is the famous NZ author that came and visited our school Kate De Goldi. She was really nice and intersting and talked about the books she wrote as a kid and how she grew up to become an amazing author. My favourite book that she wrote is The ACB which is about a girl called Perry who likes to visit her grandmother and with her grandmother she writes an ABC book.

Overall book character day was really fun. Please comment below about how your book character day was.

Geronimo Stilton!

Sup everybody and welcome back to my blog!!!!!! This week I am going to be talking about a book series I used to like when I was between 7 and 8 years old. The book series is Geronimo Stilton!!!!!!

Geronimo Stilton is a very long series consisting of 62 books. However they are not that long being approximately 120 pages long. The book series has amazingly been translated into 35 different languages and was published by Edizioni Piemme from Italy. The reason I liked the books is because they were really funny and whenever there was an interesting word they would make a cool font in a different colour. They were also well wrote and intersting always leaving you with some suspense.My favourite book I read was Mighty Mount Kilimanjaro. It was about his adventure when  he walked up mount Kilimanjaro (famous mountain in Africa)

So that's my blog post this week. Please comment below about the book that you liked when you were younger.

AFL

Sup everybody and welcome back to my blog. This week I am going to be talking about AFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AFL is an Australian sport which stands for Australian Football League. Last week at 9.45am we went out onto the courts to learn AFL. The aim of this lesson was to learn how to kick an AFL. The were two main reasons it is important to learn how to kick in AFL is because-

-You kick to get the ball to your other players.
-You kick to score points.

Some tips I learnt for kicking was to drop the ball then kick it with your laces. My two favourite phrases that I liked were laces away from faces and drop punt.

Now a cool fact from AFLNZ

-The Mid Ashburton Eagles won this year's New Zealand AFL title.

So that's my blog post this week. Please comment below about what you learnt at AFLNZ.
