Goals for this term.

Maths: This term I want to learn my 6-9 timetables on the computer by doing timetable maths games and practising them in other ways. I will know I have achieved this because I will ask Mrs Hay to test me at the end of the term and get 100%.

Writing: This term I will make my stories more descriptive by using a thesaurus and add adjectives into my writing. At the end of the term I will ask you to mark a writing sample and will compare it to one at the beginning of the year.

Reading: My goal this term is to try reading different types of books (non fiction). I will achieve this by looking for nonfiction books in the library and reading them in silent reading and at reading time. I would also like to try different books like science fiction which I’ve never read before.

Personal goal: I would really love to get into the A team for netball and make at least two new friends.

NetballAt school I am in the year 7 and 8 A team. Our coach is Whaea Te Aroha. I play goal attack. Goal attack is my favourite position. I also like playing wing attack and sometimes goal defence. We do lots of  exercise and by the end of the year I think we'll be really good. We do exercises which help us stop stepping (with the ball) and defence skills. I think we have a good team. :) 

Best day ever!!

“I got tickets as soon as I realised the band was coming here!!” I tell Casey excitedly. “Me too! I got one for my Birthday!! We’ll pick you up! I can’t wait to go to the SWING IT SING IT band!!

When Casey picked me up I was incredibly excited. The SWING IT SING IT band is our favourite band. The dancers are awesome and the singers are sensational. As we went to our first class front row seats I saw thousands of people behind us. Casey said something but I couldn’t hear what she said over the deafening crowd.

The SWING IT SING IT band came out on motor bikes!! I could taste the dust that was on the vast stage. When they started singing FUN (there latest song) me and Casey sung along extremely loudly. We were obviously in perfect time with Cassidy (the lead singer). I sung so piercingly and did there amazingly funky moves.

It was the best day ever!! But guess what? They’re coming in four months!! We’ve already got tickets. I can’t wait to go again!! 

We have been reading a book at school called wonder and I described one of the characters called Summer

My tree

The light breeze blew the tree softly making the leaves whisper peacefully. The autumn leaves were yellow with a hint of green. A little fantail perched on the tree for a few minutes then swiftly moved on to the next tree. The sun burned brightly on the tree making the leaves glow.

All was peaceful.
