Speeches

Last week we had speeches. My speech was about New words and acronyms being added into the dictionary. Here is the first paragraph of my speech: And I was like: I love your selfie by the way And she was like: I know right ll And I was like: YOLO These words have been made popular because of pop culture. 'I <3 ur shirt btw' I don't know why people say it like that. Are they just as lazy as a sloth? Hmm I'm not sure.
I think that overall my speech was ok. I was so neverous I really didn't want to say it infront of the whole class but I got over it in the end. By the way I was posing because Amy or Pixie were about to take a photo so I asked them to take it of me. P.s YOLO

Energise leadership day

Last term Room 7 went to Paterangi school for the day. Our energise teacher put together a leadership day for all of the Year 7&8's. I had a fun day. Some of the activities were unusual but we got the hang of them in the end.

Market Day

On Friday the 13th our school had a Market day. Most of the classes had a stall. Pixie, Amy and I made milkshakes, fuge cakes, toffee and cocnut ice. We made 615 gongs in total. Gongs was our currency just like our dollars are. I think that the day ended wel and that everyone had a great time. I bought a pillow thing that I can put my phone in and two slushies. Once the bell had gone for pack up time there was still ice-cream left in the container, so Amy shoved the ice-cream into our mouths.

Skiing

On the 6th of September, 2013 room 7 went to Mt Ruapehu for a snow trip. We had to be at school by 6:00 AM so we could get a full day of skiing or boarding. Once I had gotten my ski's and poles I went down happy valley. It was really fun. My ski lesson started at 11:00 AM and went to 1:00 PM. Once we had skied a few times Pixie and Graham hired a sled each. Taylor, Pixie, Lilly, Amy, Gramham, Daniel and I went doubles or triples down the little slope. Graham, Daniel and I went triples down the slope and Daniel slid off, then our sled flipped. Graham chased the sled then jumped into it and carried on. Once we had left the mountain we carried on our journey back to the school. We all met at the closest McDonald's and all had dinner. Because I had no other clothes to change into I changed into my onezies and everyone was starring at me like I was a weirdo. I would absoulutely go again. At one part of the day it was so hot that I wanted to keep on face planting. Next time I would go the next skill level up. The advice I would give would be to keep perserving and never give up, but make sure you wear sunblock.
