High Lights of the Year

 Term 1

Camp. I think Camp was one of the most exciting things we did in term one. I had lots of fun with my friends but its really cold at night in the tent. 

Term 2

We didn't do a lot in term 2 because we started term 2 during lockdown so it was I think the best thing that came out of that was the one google meet I went to (and the last) and I had lots of fun seeing everyone. 

Term 3

In term 3 all of the year 8 girl did self defense. I was really fun and it built my confidence up. 

Term 4

Near the start of term 4 some girls organised for a small group to go to an Escape room. It wasn't really an escape room, it was more like us walking around town solving clues but its was still really fun.

Jellie Park Trip

On Friday my whole class went on a trip to Jellie Park for our big day out. We had to get at school at normal time and we were allowed to wear mufti. We took two buses there and it took around 20 minutes or so to get there. Once we were there we changed into out togs and went out to the main outdoor pool. There was a lot of different schools there and it was pretty crowded but it was still fun. We settled all of our stuff down in a grassy area and then we jumped in the water. The whole time I was there I hanged out with my friend Bluebell. Bluebell and I went on the hydro slide together every time and it was so fun. Later Bluebell and I brought a drink and a ice block and ate our lunch. Then Sophie and I raced on the hydro slides. Then we had to leave and we hopped on the bus again. When we got back we just went home.

 So for Maths today I had to join Nogos group because Sharon was busy. In maths we had to make shapes out of other shapes with no gaps, thats called Tessellation.

3D Shapes

 



In maths we have been learning about 3D shapes and today we had to make nets for different 3D shapes. 

Nets are technically what you would have if you were to fold out a shape.

100 Questions

Yes I know its been a long time since I updated about 100 questions. So today in maths I got 100/100 in my time tables in 10 minutes. I usually get like 9 or 8 minutes but I haven't done it in awhile. Then I got 78/100 for division in 10 minutes, so in both times tables and division I need to work on getting 100 in under 10 minutes.

Why we need manners in our classroom

What are manners? Manners are treating others and the environment around you with respect. That means not yelling at each other and leaving food on the floor, and as a class this something we really need to improve on. Not just to our teachers but to other students in the class.

Without manners the class would be like a zoo. Animals running around and doing whatever they want with no consequences. And of course kids should have fun sometimes to talk with their friends and just have a good time, but there is a time and place for that and a time to just use some manners and treat others with respect.

Lately our class has had some trouble with their manners. Yelling at each other during lunch, talking when the teacher is trying to give instructions and leaving food on the floor, thinking someone else will do it. But no, other people shouldn't have to clean up other people's stuff.

Like come on guys, step up your game! Being polite and respecting people isn't as hard as you think. Our teachers work so hard to get everything done and on schedule so the least you could do is not talk while they are talking and just listen.

If we don’t use our manners the others around us could just feel really annoyed. Or worse it could make the teachers annoyed, and no one likes a teacher mad. All chaos will be set loose and the whole class will suffer. And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that.

So how can we improve on this? Well first we would have to listen to the teachers and not talk, then we could move on to talking nicely to each other. This might be hard for people who don’t have any manners but if we work as a team and try our very best I’m sure we can do it. But really how hard is it to just not disrespect the environment and others around you.
