YEAR 8?

                Year 8 next year all ready! WOW my whole life at school has been and gone soooooo                   quickly can you believe it..............? I certainly don't so I'm gonna do my very best next                 year to complete my work to a very high standard I mean it and it will be tough.                           Before i move onto collage next, next year! pretty nerve racking!

Year 8 is going to be jam packed will lots of fun and challenging surprises on the way. I know that one of the firsts ones is the high ropes I'm pretty scared of heights but will try to overcome that fear during camp! another one is tests, I want to do my very best in my tests and get good marks. (especially maths!) there's also swimming, athletics and cross country, I want to do well in. And I bet ya there will be more surprises on the way!

But One thing I am really looking forward to next year is CAMP! Camp for the win I'm so excited!...... and nervous of all the challenges we get to do during the time! some of my favorite activity's i'm looking forward to do is... Kayaking, sailing, coasteering, snorkeling, boogie boarding, tramping, confidence coarse, canoeing, caving, river walking and camping.

I just can't wait to be a yr8 it looks sooooooooo fun!

Bye Bye 

           

Speeches #2

Speeches Boy oh boy does it feel good to get it finally over with thank goodness!! 

Well I felt I had stumbled on a few sentences a few times and I think I may have missed out a paragraph altogether! I also wonder if I used enough gestures and not have stayed in the same stop the whole time!
                                                  ..   
                                                  ~  

I didn't feel it went as well as I had planed, and that's usually the story each year I think it will go really well... But really it doesn't there's always something that goes wrong :-( 

                

                 ...................But there is always next year!.................

















Bye See Ya Next Time
 

                   The Peco Incident     By Des Hunt

Des Hunts book, The Peco Incident is a great book I personally really like it. So the main character is Danny and he is flying over to the Otago Peninsula to stay at his cousins for the summer holidays. 

Then suddenly a bird flu started to hit the area, at first it only seemed like it was infecting the sparrows then suddenly spreed to the local chicken farm where chickens were dying by the thousands. but remarkibly a hippie group of tourist alwaws seemes to be around the crime! 


What is really going on?









Bye Bye

  

Speeches

Gulp- Well I'm doing How/Why do leaves change color in autumn an interesting and informative topic. My goals for this years speech are to Speak loud and Clear and to also have lots of visual aids to try to make things interesting. 

I'm also doing quite well in terms of finishing my speech I've gust got to write a bit more, edit and also work on the visual aids.

For some people speaking in front of 30 or so kids is quite scary. I mean I can say something little or so in front of that many people but a whole speech.....mmmmm? 

So these are the things I'm gonna be working on this year...

-Speaking slow and clear.

-practice body movement.

-Have lots of visual aids.

-And try to relax.

Thank you and Bye Bye!
