Our Reading Test Is Today!!!

Tuesday was our Reading Comprehension test day for 2016. All the year 7's were split into Mr Reid's class and the year 8's were in Mrs Golder's. As I looked around the classroom I could see everyone wasn't ready even me. When Mr Reid handed out the pamphlets and answer sheets I started to feel very nervous. Once we started I slowly opened my pamphlet and I already knew half of the questions. Hopefully I passed.

Our Syndicate Assembly

Last week our class hosted the senior syndicate assembly. I thought that it would take a lot of work and time to prepare our assembly but I was wrong. It only took one day to plan this whole item even though we didn't get as much time we needed. After all that practising and memorising we finally worked it out.

Our Experience At Botanic Gardens

Today was the day where our whole school went to the Botanic Gardens! Our morning routine was a bit different than every other day but it was still really fun. Once we arrived all the other classes went their own way and so did we. First we started off at the Rock Garden and continued our way through the Urban Trees, The Forest and the Native Plants Identification Trail. As we made our way out we had a short amount of time to take our last look around the garden before we went back to school. I think that everyone enjoyed their journey at the Botanic Gardens.

Back To School!!!

Yesterday was our first day back at school for Term 4. Everyone was happy to see all their friends again especially me. When the bell rang, instead of doing our daily fitness like we usually do we transferred all our resources from Room 8A back to our class. Once everything was back into our classroom we went back to our normal class routine.

Poetry Recital

Today after morning tea myself, Maranatha and Heilala performed our poem in front of the whole school. It was very frustrating waiting for other classes to recite their poem, but when Mr Meyer announced our names we nervously walked up onto the stage. I think that my classmates both tried their best and put a lot of progress in their poem. 

Our Cross Country

On Wednesday we had our cross country race. Mrs Pederson called us to start our run. When we started I was so nervous I couldn't move at all. I  felt so exhausted after my first lap but I still kept my pace and ran until the end. I thought that everyone tried very hard at cross country.

Basketball

On Wednesday after fitness our class had to go to the court and wait for our coach. When he arrived we started off with a warm up which was just running up and down the court. After that we learnt how to dribble, scissors and jumping back and forth. We all had a very fun time learning how to play real basketball.
