This week at school I went swimming for choice and challenge with the juniors. It was fun but sadly today is the last day that the pool is open. Yesterday I went to tech, I’m in sewing and I’m making a bag that has a whale on one side that says keep the sea plastic free and on the other side it has dolphins. I think that I might be able to finish it next week but I still have to sew the inside of it witch is bright red and attach the handles on in I’m going to make the handle green or maybe black.

Yesterday we had crt as well I was with Matt so I got to play a game where there was a team of cats and a team of mice. The team of cats would be in a line all facing different ways and only one cat could move at a time but could tag another cat on the back and they would swap out. The mice would be in a line and only one would run at a time and they could run through the line of cats but the cat had to go around and when all the mice get caught the teams swap over.

The rise value I used was resilience because when I kept losing in the game I didn’t give up.

Last week we played robot dodgeball when someone is the robot that is blindfolded and has to play dodgeball by getting instructions from the controller but the controller couldn’t see the game so the visualiser had to tell the controller what to say but the visualiser couldn’t talk so they had to do actions then the assistant had to count the score so whenever you hit someoneyou would get a point but if you walked into someone you lose a point. you can only throw the ball by bending your arm and throwing the ball so you cant get power.

Out of all of the schools that we researched the most popular values were resilience, integrity, resilience and respect.

This week I was in the swimming sports I thought it was fun and challenging at the same time. every year I’ve done the competitive races but this year I did the 1 length race and I came first in back stroke 3rd in breath stroke and first in free style. I did the 1 length race because every other year I lose in the 2 length races.

This Week at to tech I made the design of my bag it has a whale on one side and a dolphin on the other and it sayskeep the sea plastic free.I liked having the relice team in yesterday because I was with Caroline and we were trying to make art that looks like stick figures dancing to be like Keith Haring’s art.

This week was the first week of tech I found out that I am in sewing for term 1. The teachers name is Mrs Shrimpton but she said we can call her Nat. In sewing this year we are going to be making a reusable bag. We had the release team in this week i’m in Sharons group  so I was with Kathy we played some like puzzle games I figured out the trick to the first one and the last one but I didn’t get the middle one. I liked playing dodgeball this week but it was hard because year eights cant team so I was by myself and I kept getting targeted but it was still fun. I’m exited for swimming next week because I haven’t been swimming for a while.

This term I have been going surfing on Fridays I knew that it would be hard to stand up on the board because its my first time but I stood up a lot of times so I did better than I expected. The water is always really  cold when we get in but after a while I get used to it. when we get there we get into the wetsuits that we are given and we are reminded on how to stand up on the board. When we come back in for the day we get hot chocolate and biscuits. we get help to catch the because they give us a push when the wave comes to get us started. I use resileance because when I fall of I just try again.

Today for action stations me and Zavier were in the same team for badminton. It was fun because when we weren’t playing we were playing against the wall.

On Tuesday we went to foster park to play in the Koru games I was in the football team. we played 3 games on the first day we lost the first 2 then won the last one. on the second day we lost all 4 of our games but on the last day we won both of our games and I scored my first goal I scored it from Jed taking a corner I got it and did a volley into the goal. that day a had donuts for everyone Oskar had moro bars for everyone then on the way back Mr Redmond got everyone a frozen coke Travis didn’t like his so he gave it to me and I got 2. before we left we played a game of boys vs girls then all of the adults joined and they had way more players and they won 3 – 2. we didn’t win the trophy or any medals but we still got cool badges. here is a photo of my one.on the way back we kept waving at people and shouting clap if you’ve got a willy.
