My I-Phone Clay Creation

For the past few days I have been working on an I-phone out of clay.

It was really difficult molding and flattening the clay as it was really hard. The colors I included was purple, pink and blue. Then to make it even more better I added the apple sign, back and front camera, a button and a phone case as well as the volume line. In the end I was proud of my I-Phone clay creation but destroyed it anyway because we couldn't keep the clay. 

Goosebumps

One week took my class and myself to finally finish our goosebumps book study, so we can put it up in our school library. 

We all had to contribute and get into groups to think about one thing we would want to include on our big cardboard paper. Then in the end the things we did include was about the author, a blurb, scary pictures, finger prints, a book saying open if you dare as well as my groups night of the living dummy series. Hopefully everybody that walks in our school library sees it and thinks that it is very cool because we put a lot of hard work into it. 

Touch Rugby With Trevor

For the past three Thursdays our touch rugby couch, Trevor had been teaching us the basic skills and rules of touch including a few games we played to warm up. 

Trevor taught us how to plant the ball which is when you put the ball between your legs, step over it then to the side, step back and one of your teammates is free to pick it up and run. There was also this one practice when you ran up with your dummy half, you pick it up run a little while getting touched, plant it, then your dummy half picks it up moves forward and passes it back to you. For our warm ups we played a lot of games including my favorite game where we were in a circle and heaps of balls were going around, then you would eventually drop the ball until there was only a little bit of people left.  

In the end we had some touch games with girls against girls and boys against boys. In these games we used all the skills Trevor had taught us even though he still had to remind us on what we had to do. Then soon later we had to say goodbye and go back to class. 

Tori Kelly

Everybody has a favorite singer right? A singer that they can listen to all the time and sing to their singers songs 24/7. Well that’s the same with me as my favorite singer is the fabulous, amazing, beautiful  Tori Kelly. 

She happens to be my favorite singer because she's inspiring and writes her own songs to perfection as well as, being able to sing high, low and in between with no trouble. Tori is my favorite singer because she writes music that I like to hear and her voice always sounds fabulous. But every time when I listen to her songs it feels just like she’s directing her lyrics to me so that it becomes a part of me. It feels as if she’s giving me an important message which really means something to me and will stay with me forever.

Our Garden

Today some college students came to our school and dug up the plants outside our classroom so that we can plant new ones.

We then had to decide on one flower that we thought should be in our garden, which I decided on a fire lily. I chose this particular plant because it's something really different, interesting, cool to look at and spot on. It's a plant I hopefully think that everyone thinks is awesome and amazing that it might just be able to get a spot in front of our classroom.

It hit about 1.00 pm on Monday and was so big that Pakistan and northern India could feel it.

Visiting My Nana

On Sunday afternoon around 1.00 pm my dad, sister and I headed to visit my nana at Auckland hospital as she was very sick.

When we arrived up at the hospital we parked the car then made our way to my nana's ward. Finally we made it and stayed a little while with her. We talked mostly about school and the rugby world cup. Eventually we got something to eat then said goodbye because it was getting late.

Testing To Be Better Than Before

This term there are a lot of things to look forward to such as being tested. I know being tested doesn't sound the best but for me it is. Being tested has given me the help I need to be better than before. Although sometimes I may not have achieved what I wanted there is always next time for me to improve.

Petia From Mad Messenger

Yesterday Petia from mad messenger came and told room 11 and 12 that it's alright to speak up. That it's ok to believe in yourself and forget about all nasty comments people have said about you. In the end he said that we can be anybody we want. Even a superhero and that's when he drew Iron Man. We took a photo with the Iron Man painting and said goodbye to Petia.
