Nearly At The Finish Line

Nearly At The Finish Line!

                  Stretching and focusing for the long run, get ready legs, steady….. GO!

Firstly, the bell rang and everyone rushed to their class lines and got ready to run. Year eights started off with a steady pace running up and down the hill. Some students dawdled or jogged towards Hinaki Street.

All of a sudden I saw students strolling during the second round. We jogged up Torino Street, past our school and back to the start.

At our cross country there were Rooms 12, 11, 10, 9, 7 and 6 who participated in our jog. Most students in Room 10 and 6 couldn't be bothered to run and they loathe running. When Mika and I were running past students strolling they were talking and weren't doing enough jogging.

We kept jogging till our third lap. When we got back to the start I had a little jog towards Mrs Golder and she was wondering ”Are you the last people?” and we replied, “No.” So Mika and I kept running till we got to the bottom of the hill and had a little rest to catch our breath. We reached Hinaki Street and Mika and I decided to sprint to the finish line, and we made it.                         

                                       

                                                        We at last reached the finish line.

Squares And Cubes!

At first, we needed to know our multiplication and multiples to get the answer for the squares and cubes. I thought they were going to be hard, but I listened carefully and now I know what to do. 
Then we had to get into groups and we needed to build a 2D square and a 3D cube. My partners and I tried very hard to build a 3D 6 x 6 x 6 model. We started off slow but got the hang of it. 
We were so fast that we finished on time.

Origami Objects

Firstly,  we had to make paper origami dinosaur and butterfly. After I finished my origami dinosaur I had to make something else to challenge myself and I made a green dress. Origami comes from Japan. My teacher Mrs Golder decided to put my dress with Mika's bow and cat together and now it looks like a project that Mika and I made.

Syndicate Assembly!

The first three days we had to organise our syndicate assembly. We needed a leader to organise people to host our assembly. We worked very hard to plan our lines and our own particular job to complete. It was our turn to host and we did extraordinarily well and sang cool songs. We had to display our daffodils sitting in a red vase and explain how we made them. WHAT A DAY!

Daffidals

First off we had to follow the instructions on how to make a paper origami daffodil. We made our daffodils to represent cancer and we also did it for a school competition. We followed the steps and made it look charming and made smaller ones to challenge ourselves. We all made our daffodils with yellow and orange paper to start off with. Later on I was searching on the internet for an easy way to make an origami vase for the daffodils and Sini followed the video instructions and made a big vase for the daffodils to sit in. Me and Mrs Golder were really impressed.

It Should Not Be Shared

                                             

                   I have personal things that I don’t share with anyone except my friends.

Most people have different types of personal things which they do or do not want to share on social media or around the community and local. We can share our identity with people who we care about us like our friends and family because they are the closest. It’s most important to speak to others, because we share our identity and feel better to speak to a person who cares, encourages us and supports us.

I have amazing friends who are from different cultures and they lead and carry on the traditions passed down through their family. My friends have different personalities and opinions and that makes them who they are. Those people who are from different cultures should be proud of their identity because it forms an important part of our character and personality and also it represents your family and culture.

Church makes you who you are as well. It might change your beliefs and religion. You hang out with different friends and learn different things from them. It proves that church could affect your personality as well.

I have an identity that won’t be shared with everyone except the people that I am around with or hang out with. I have personal things that my mates might not like or they might laugh about it.

Netball Tournament

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.
