Journalists are on point :)

For electives I have chosen Cadet Journalism which is run by Daniel Faitaua. It has been really fun so far. This is what I am talking about today.


The first few weeks have been really good and it has been really fun. There aren't many boys in it which is annoying but since there are only two boys in the group it makes a good group.

I have been learning a lot about what professional Journalists have to do and what they go through before going on TV. Also you have to be brave to talk to people you that might be complete strangers to you.

The most I have to do to get out of the Elective would be doing the activities the best I can do and do them properly.

That is my blog post for this week come back soon for another!!! :)


 

Cross The Country!!! :)

Today the Year 4 to 8 students had cross country at Nairnville.  Each year group has two races one for boys and one for girls. The Year 4's run 1000 metres, year 5-6's run 1500 metres and 7-8's run 2000 metres.

I enjoyed it a bit because I am pleased with my self I came 6th but then the run is so hard. It was a good day though. I persevered through it because there were so many times I felt like walking but I kept running while keeping a steady pace. I saw others persevere because they kept going even if they were walking they would try to run every now and then and they finished. I saw lots of Empathy from people because they would be cheering for people and encouraging people. Showing Empathy helps the runners to keep going and to never stop.

That is my blog post for this week come back soon for another!!! :)

Movie review

This weeks blog post is about a review on either a book you have read lately or a movie you have seen. I haven't done a blog post for a long time so lets see how it goes.

the movie i will be reviewing is probably the best film EVER!!!which is HUNT FOR THE WILDER-PEOPLE. I saw this on the first day of the holidays which was a while ago but it is so good I vividly remember it.

The plot is that a boy called Ricky Baker is trying to find a home because he was given to an orphanage when he was young. He is a trouble maker because he graffiti's buildings, spits at things and egg houses. But that all stops when he comes to a farm in central North island. An awful tragedy happens which forces Ricky to leave but he, Tupac his dog and Uncle Hec go into the bush and hide from the police while carrying simple items and old .303 rifles. According to Ricky they are and always will be Wilderpeople.

The rating I would give it would be an easy 5 STARS.I liked it because it has great adventure and the comedy is spot on, I just loved it.

That is my blog post for this week come back next time for another.
BYE!!!

Skillz!!!

I have learnt a lot over the past 3 weeks because we have had camp and other crazy things. So I am talking about 3 things I have learnt.

1. I have learnt some more skills on working with a team. Like letting people talk and encouraging them. Also have trust in others.

2. I improved with basic facts and have been getting a fast time and high percentage scores. Also I have got better with reading the equation better so I don't think a addition symbol is a multiplication symbol.

3. I improved with Statistics and at the start I got 40% in a test but 6 weeks later I got 100% correct.

Things I can try to remember these would be keep using them in every day life.

That is my blog post for this week, BYE!!!

EASTER HOLIDAYS!!!

Last week was Easter, we had a five day holiday which was awesome. I did some great things with my mates and family. I got so much chocolate I could have 3 days of meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Some things I did to help people would be that I helped with food, drinks and decorations at my sisters birthday party. My mum appreciated it because she didn't need to do as much work. Another one would be I helped Altar serve at mass when I wasn't asked because the person who was on didn't arrive.

I went to a friends house and all we did is play cricket for like 2 hours, watch cricket on TV and talk about cricket while playing games on our phones. I also went to the nets then on Friday, Saturday and Sunday I watched Onslow Mens play Easts Mens in a 3 Dayer which is a shorter version of a test match.

That's my blog for this week, come back next week.
   

Camp was GREAT!!!

Last week was Camp for the Year 8's. It was one of the best experiences ever that you will always remember. This is about a Week at Hillary Outdoor Education Centre (HOEC).

Camp went well because it was an amazing experience and it was planned out very well. Also the activities are exciting but hard at the same time. The instructors were awesome and motivational. The food was also great, better than I expected.

The most challenging things for me were High Ropes and Caving. High ropes was challenging because I don't  have the best balance in the world and it was pretty high. Caving was hard because I found it hard fitting through the small gaps but it was fun at the same time.  

Flying Fox was easy because all you needed to do was sit and look and the spectacular view. Also canoeing because I had done it before, it is really fun and it is hard yakkker.

It was much better than I expected. The food was great, cabins were warm, Instructors awesome and overall everything was the best. 10/10.

The proudest moment of camp would of been when I did the log walk on the High ropes course. I mad it all the way across then did a bear hug on it and did one upside down. This was my proudest moment because I was shaking and it was harder than I thought.

My favourite moment would of been everything because It was the best thing I had done. I would live there if I could it was so good.

That's this weeks blog post.
Come back next week.

Camp 2016!!! The camp life

Camp is next week which is awesomely awesome. Came has come really quickly and it will be a great experience with the boys.

Sucks to be short. I'm a millionaire 

the things i am most looking forward to at camp is canoeing, high ropes, the food and a good time with everyone. The trip up with my mates will be great as well.

There is not much I am nervous about because I don't really get nervous very much and I like to give everything a go.

Things I need to make this week fun is a goodnight sleep each night (probs wont happen), every one to be happy so they don't let the group down, deodorant (for the lol) and a funny and helpful leader.

That is my blog for this week, hope you enjoyed.
