Term 1 Week 7

This week we finally had French, which has been moved from the studio to Room 10. I enjoy doing French because we are always learning new words and meanings every week. This was the first time for us year 8's this year, but the year 7's have had it a few times already. In this lesson we went over words from last year that we had already learnt, only because it was our first lesson back and we had forgotten most of it. The year 7's have French on a Wednesday before jump jam, and the year 8's have it on Friday before morning tea.

Term 1 Week 6

This week we had some people come to our school to teach us about water safety. We learnt how to rescue people with just a rope. You have to throw a rope out to the person and then pull them in. We also learnt how to scuba dive off a little dingy. It was really cool when we had to go under the boat when it was upside down, and we had to breathe under it through the little air pocket. Then we learnt how to float in a group by holding on to each other. It was really fun and It also taught us how to survive out at sea. I really enjoyed it.

Term 1 Week 5

This week we have been writing our explanation on the Treaty of Waitangi. We have to explain about the Treaty. On Friday we had swimming sports. There were lots of fun races like walking, doggy paddle and fludder board races. I competed in most un-competitive races, but I didn't win any or get any places. There were lots of finals but I wasn't in any of them. It was a fun day that I enjoyed thoroughly.
