YEAR 8

This week we had to reflect on one of our favourite parts of this year so
here it is.

My favourite highlight or memory of this year would definitely have to
be Year 8 camp.  I liked it because all the year 8's got to know each other
better and we told lots of stories.  I also liked the things that we did, like the
overnight camp, the high ropes and much much more.

This year I'm not quite sure where we're going for the Big Day Out but I hope
it'll be fun.  I don't really remember the big day out's from previous
years, but I liked the one last year when we did bowling and played sports.

COLLEGE

HELLO

So next year I'm going to be a Year 9 at St Mary's and I'm nervous but

excited. I don't hate our school, it's just I want to something different. 

 One of the things I want to do next year is to get on to Netball 

team. That's like one of my main priorities.  

Some of the things I'm looking forward to are making more friends

 ( I'll still be with the friends I have now). Also just being in a waaaayyyy

bigger school with lots of opportunities.

The things that I'll find challenging probably goes for everyone.  Getting to 

class on time and actually knowing where my class is, because I don't

want to be late to class and everyone in there will stare at me.  Also

the amount of homework for different classes and getting it in on time

cause I'm already busy enough as it is.

BOOK WEEK!

Last week at school we had book week.  Throughout the week we did a
whole bunch of things to do with book and reading.

On one of the days, Kate De Goldi who is a New Zealand author, came to
our school and talked to the Intermediate classes.  She talked about her
new book that she was writing.  She also talked about the books she had
already written and how she got inspiration for them.  In the middle of the
talk she read us some stories that she wrote from when she was around 6
or 7 years old.

One of the other things we did was the Golden Ticket hunt.  All the teachers
from the intermediate classes put different clues up on the class blog as to where
the ticket was.  They then hid the Golden Tickets around the school.  Whoever
found their class Golden Ticket was a chocolate.  I think Room 12 did waaayyyy
more then we did  because we only did about 2 or 3 and one of the tickets blew
away.

The best thing that we did last week was Book Character day.  Everyone had to
come to school as a character from a book.  Abby and I went as Thing 1 and Thing 2.
At the start of the day we had the book character parade.  All the classes sat on the courts
while me and the other House Captains stood at the front and watched each class
come down the "catwalk".  We had to judges all the different costumes.  The categories
were, Most Creative, Most Realistic and Best Group costume.  We had to chose one
person(s) for each of these categories from year 1 & 2, year 3&4, year 5&6 and year 7&8.
Overall the day was really fun because I got to see all the cool costumes.

So that's Book Week done.  My favourite part was the book character day because we
all got to dress up in fun costumes.

FAVOURITE BOOK from when I was younger

This week we had to write about our favourite book from when we were younger.  So here goes......

When I was little, the only books that I basically read were the Rainbow Magic books.  Out of the many many books in the series, I read every one of them.  Each book in the series is always based on one fairy.  I started reading these books when I was about 7 I think.  I guess I read these books because my friends all read them.  My favourite book in the series was probably Evie the Mist Fairy because her name was the closest to mine.

Rainbow magic is pretty about two girls called Rachel and Kirsty.  Something bad always happens in each book that is caused by the goblins, then a different fairy comes and SAVES THE DAY each time.

AFL

Last week the school got taught how to play AFL.  About 2 classes went
 down at a time to get  taught.  Our class went down with Room 10.


I actually wasn't there for half the session cause Abby, James and I were at
 a House Captain meeting.  When we got down there though, they were
 kicking the ball to their partner.  One of the catchphrases that I remember
was "Laces away from the faces".  We basically just learnt how to kick a ball.
At the end, some of the adults lined up across the court and we had to try kick
the ball at them.

BOOKS!

This week we had to choose our favourite book, movie, TV show etc.  Right now the books I've been reading are all written by David Walliams. I couldn't really choose one that I like.  So far I have read five of his books.

In mainly all of his books it all links in some way.  I guess I like them because I don't get bored when I'm reading them.

MY FUTURE JOB!

In the future I would really like to be a Physiotherapist!

If you don't know what that is, it's someone who helps people with muscle injuries or sport injuries.

I guess I want to be a Physiotherapist because I like to do a lot of sports and there are some cool equipment at a Physio.  

The subjects I will have to take at college are Biology, P.E and probably chemistry.  Later on in College if there is first aid training I will take it.

To help pay my way through university studies I will probably become a swimming coach for people around my age now.  I also do swimming and I probably will continue for a few more years, so I guess that counts for outside of school.

What's your dream job?
