Reading Comprehension Test

On Wednesday the year 7's and 8's had a Reading Comprehension test. I was very scared and stressed. I didn't know how I was going to do in the test but I just hoped for the best.

We had to go to Room 11 for the test because the years 8's were going to do their test in Room 12. The test was a little easy because I remembered some of the stories. The test lasted for at least 45 minutes. I went over my answer sheet twice just to make sure I didn't shade in the wrong answer. 

Once 45 minutes were over we went back to our classrooms. I think I did alright. Wish me luck for my other tests!  

Where's Mrs Golder?

Where's Mrs Golder? I didn't see her this morning when I came! I saw that she didn't have her laptop on her desk which was very weird because she always had her laptop out. I also saw that she didn't have her suitcase beside her desk. 

I then asked other people if they had seen Mrs Golder this morning but they all just said, "No". After the patrollers came back I saw that Mr Reid was with them. I came to the conclusion that Mrs Golder was either sick or was at a meeting. Later Mrs Vickers told us that Mrs Golder was sick. Get well soon!

I Wish I Wasn't Sick!

The other week all the seniors and juniors went to the Botanic Gardens. I was so excited! But I ended up being sick. 

That day I woke up extra early to get ready. I wasn't feeling great when I woke up. I woke up to a sore stomach. While I was getting ready I felt like vomiting but I ignored it and thought it would go away - unfortunately it didn't.

My mum then took us to the bakery to buy us some yummy treats. After we bought the food we went back into the car. I felt like I was going to vomit any second and I did. I vomited all over my mum's car. Some of the vomit touched the food that we bought. It wasn't a pretty sight.

I kept on vomiting throughout out the day so I didn't go to school for at least three days. It was really boring. I'm happy that I'm feeling well now.

Our Holiday Is Over

I'm back at school again! Isn't that exicting? What's even more exciting is that this our last term. Which means that after this term we are going to have our Christmas Holidays. 

I'm a little bit scared because this term we have tests and I really want to do well in them. So I'm going to study and focus more in the classroom. I'm also going to finish my homework on time and try to keep it neat and tidy. 

Another exciting thing is that we are going to the Botanic Garden on Thursday. I can't wait to see all the pretty flowers.

I'm looking forward to this term!

Skipping

Nearly this whole term we have been working on our skipping! 

On Thursday we performed it in front of our parents and Room 11. It was a really fun time. We had our own individual groups. Sophie, Pallas, Tyla and Meana was in my group. We came up with alot of good tricks. Most of our tricks included the long rope. My group only did a couple of acts then we stopped and just watched Heilala's group. 

One of my favourite tricks were when Aydrian did a cartwheel into the skipping rope. It was super cool, I wish I could do that! My second favourite trick was when Anavea and Maranatha did push ups inside of the skipping rope. It was an overall really good day.

Back At School Again!

It feels great to be back at school again! It's still a little weird and different because all the seniors are in different classrooms. We are in Room 8a, Room 11 is in the Music Room, Room 10 is in the library and Room 9 is in Room 4. Sadly we aren't allowed to go back into the senior block until Abestos testing is over and we have no idea when it will be finished. 

We stayed at Tamaki Primary for almost about a week. Most of the time we were making things up as we went along because we had no chromebooks or the internet. It was a really hard week but we all got through it. Hopefully when Term 4 starts everything will be back to normal. Just how it used to be before Asbestos testing started.

Basketball

After fitness on a Tuesday morning my class had to go to the court to learn how to play basketball. When we arrived at the court we all sat down in a line and learnt more about basketball, for example, the height of a proper basketball hoop. 

We started off with a warm up which just consisted of us running up and down the areas that had cones. After our little warm up we started learning basketball moves. We learnt how to jump stop, protect the basketball with our arm, bend our legs, dribble and many other useful skills that we needed to know. I had such a blast learning how to play proper basketball and I'm sure the others had a blast as well.
