Week 1 Term 1

Wow, it's the first week back for 2016! This week we welcomed the new year 7's into the school with a powhiri. There were lots of Maori speeches. As I am now a year 8 I had to sit on the stage while all the year 7's were welcomed into the hall. When we got back to class after the powhiri, we had to teach the year 7's about the rules. It is very weird without the year 8's from last year. It feels a bit weird being a year 8 and having to be a role model to the year 7's, but I think I will get used to it.
