Word Art

 

My words on my word art are Kaylis, Taipua, Excited, Optimistic and Apprehensive. I will miss both Kaylis and Taipua because they are leaving to go to different colleges. I have also got mixed feelings about next year. I'm excited because I will be a year 9 and actually be in college. I'm optimistic because I'm looking forward to all the cool things I'll get up to in 2022. But I'm Apprehensive as well because I don't know how tough the work will be. I'm not sure I'll keep up the pace when I'm year 9. Overall, I'm very happy the 2022 is only weeks away.

The Zespri Challenge

 The Year 7&8 cendicate have joined the Zespri challenge. Every student recieved a denometer to measure their own steps. We fill in our steps each day online and can see how much our class is doing. In total I have 126546 steps and counting. We can also get bonus points for the amount of food, screentime, sleep, and activities we do. I think it's important for us to do the Zespri challenge because we can improve on ourselves. We can get fitter and healthier by just doing this. 

Kaylis Peneha Awarded Steven Adams Basketball Scholarship

 Kaylis was awarded with a scholarship in september. The Steven Adams scholarship allows Kaylis to train for his basketball at a high rate and take classes at scott's college. It would have been a great honour for Kaylis to recieve this scholarship. I've known kaylis since I was about five, and it's a bit sad that he'll be leaving. He will be home on the weekends but I won't see him at school. I know he will learn a lot at scott's and he'll turn into a great basketball player!  

Labour weekend

For my labour weekend, I spent it with my dad at my cousins down in Porirua. The first day we didn't do much day other than play on the ps4. The second day me and my dad got up early to play down at the courts. He helped me practice my basketball. Later that day I had basketball training down in Otaki. After training we went down to foxton to get some tools to fix the fence in Porirua. The last day we fixed the fence and then went back home to mum. 

Lion Dance

 On wednesday, the year 7&8 cendicate all had turns going to the hall and learning the lion dance. I had bandquest on so I came after my class had went. Whaea Destine sent me and Tumoana to the next class so we could have a turn. It was funny because my sister was in that class. The man welcomed us in and showed us what to do. When it was me and Tumoana's turn, it was really confusing because I couldn't see anything. There was a lot of funny moments when we were watching everyone else! 

Probability

 This term we have been learning about probability and how it works. We've all had tasks to do and I'm going to share the ones I've completed with you.

 

This task had us give examples for different probabilities

I answered very high in percentage

I filled out what I knew and thought about Probability

I had to think really hard about this one.

Mandotory Vaccinations Announced

 All school staff and also home educators must be vaccinated by 1 January 2022. This is a smart move by the goverment and I strongly agree with it. By vaccinating all school staff, we are protecting our tamariki so they can have a future without too much trouble with covid-19. We could also get the boost we need in vaccinations to reach 90%. Our country might not need lockdowns any more because of this rule and I'm grateful for it. Why should we have to make sacrifises because people won't get vaccinated. I think the goverment made the right call for everyone in this country.
