Speeches

Towards the end of the term our school has had a focus on oral language-speechs. every year our school has a speech contest where you write a speech and then present it in front of the class, and the finals in front of the school. This year I won speechs with my topic on why failure is good for you. On tuesday the 24 of september I will be presenting my speech at lower waipa speechs, I hope to do well there

Market day

On on Friday 13 of September our school society held a market day, a day where all the ventures sold all of the product they had been making. The day was a great success and most ventures sold out and were able to pay back there loans. I wish we held a Mamet day every term, but I think people would get sick of it  

Snow trip

On the 6th of September Room 7 went on a ski trip down to Mount Raupahu on the whakapapa side. Everybody had to have been at school by 5:50 with all their gear ready to be put in cars. after traveling; for about three and a quarter hours when we finery got to the mountain car park and headed; down to the rentals building in happy valley; to get our hired equipment which was skis and snowboards, then to the meeting area to make sure that everyone was there. If you have not skied or snowboarded before now was the time to try to and see if you were a natural or not or try learning. At the start of the day I found skiing really hard, but after my lessons I found skiing a lot easier, after lunch me and Dad went up to the rock garden because happy valley was to easy. The rock garden was a good challenge for me, I wiped out many times before I got used to it. If I was to go skiing again I would try some jumps and some of the harder runs, I had a great day at the snow and would like to go back soon.
