Vector Arena

A few weeks ago a group of us went to Vector Arena. At Vector Arena we had to play this game where we had to answer all the questions on a sheet of paper and our guide would sneakily tell us the answers but we had to be listening. We went inside dressing rooms, the arena, a basketball team's dressing room and many other places. One of my favourite places was the room with alot of famous people's signatures in it. After the tour we had to go back to the basketball court for morning tea. For morning tea we had a wrap, chips, juice box and a fruit salad. I really enjoyed this! 

Snag Golf

On Thursday we learnt how to play golf. Straight after fitness we had to do the roll quickly, lined up and then go to the court to our coach. When we got there he welcomed us and said, "Hello", and we said "Hello" back. 

The first thing we had to do was to get into a trio. I was with Tyla and Pallas. We then had to go to our area which had green balls, hula-hoops, flags and a sticky mat. Everyone had different coloured balls so they don't get mixed up but we all had the same set out. The first activity that we did was to roll the ball to hit number one. Then we had to roll the ball to get into the green hula-hoop. After that we had to hit the ball with the golf club but the ball had to travel through the sticky mat then into the hula-hoop.

Buddy Reading With Room 7

A few days ago we had buddy reading with Room 7. I buddied up with Diego and we read about waking up and saying hello. After he finished reading to me I read him a book called Grizzly Bear vs Polar Bear. It told us random facts about the grizzly bear and polar bear. The book also told us about their habitats, what they eat, etc. After a while of reading Miss Riley told us to stop and she then told us to put the books away but she told Room 7 first then she told us. After putting the books away the bell rang and we all went home.

Being Sustainable With Energy

A few weeks ago on Thursday a lady named Estah from Vector came to our school to talk about being sustainable with energy. She talked to us about the different types of energy for example, mechanical energy which moves objects from place to place. There are also electrical, chemical and radiant energy. She talked to us about how we can save energy and made some suggestions such as to take shorter showers, turn of light switches, etc.

Estah also showed us a wooden plane that had no batteries in it and the top moved when there was light shining on it. That was called radiant energy and mechanical energy. There was also a car that had no batteries in it and the same thing happened, it moved when there was light shining on it.

Our Second Time

On Monday, it was our second time hosting the Senior Syndicate Assembly. This time we didn't have as much time as we did for our last assembly. We only had Friday and Monday to plan what we were going to say and what we were going to do. Meana and Aydrian decided to do Class Feuds, Jack Daniel and Azahar chose the music and the rest had to say some things at assembly. 

For Class Feuds, Meana  asked the students questions and they had to answer them correctly but there was more than one answer and each answer was worth different points. Room 9 ended up winning by 10 points, Room 10 had seven points, Room 11 zero points, and room 12 had three points.

First Day Back

Today was the first day back at school. When the bell rang everyone met up outside Room 1 and lined up in their classrooms. After everyone settled down Mrs Vickers started speaking. She welcomed us back and talked to us about the roof. After she finished talking she told the seniors to leave first then the juniors. 

Self Portrait

Every Friday we have Visual Arts. This term we focused on self portraits and making different shades using three colours. We had to make different shades using black, white and any colour of our choice. We had to make one side of our hair darker than the other, same for our face and our torso.
