Term 1 Review

This Term has been alright, I made it into WIMS Volleyball which was fun and the year 7's have been pretty fun as well. Camp was enjoyable although I do miss some of the year 8's. I think I have been doing some pretty good work although we have  been on the same maths topic for the whole term so I do not know how we are going to get through all of the maths before the end of the year. Tech Arts has been fun especially making sweatshirts in fabric. We did pretty well in inter class events as we got second in padded tennis and at the moment we are in the quarter finals for softball. I think I have achieved nearly all of my goals for term 1 so I am pretty happy with that. I have handed all of my work in time and I am pretty happy with the quality of it and I feel a bit more settled know that I have got to know a few of the year 7's. I am looking forward to next term with all of the opportunities like WIMS Football.

Wellington

On the first day we we went to Zealandia, the Holocaust Center and Weta workshop. At Zealandia I learnt a lot about birds, like how to recognize different species by sight and sound. At the holocaust center I also learnt quite a bit about the Holocaust and we also got to ask some questions to a survivor. Finally we had Weta workshop which is where they design props and costumes for movies such as Avatar. The next day we went to the Space Place were I learnt a lot about the different planets. After that we went on the cable car which had some pretty good views. After that we walked to Parliament where we met Andrew little - the leader of Labour party. After that we went inside and we had a tour. The next day we went to Ontv which first my group did a news report called ' once upon a crime' I was a reporter. It was really fun becaue we all dressed up in silly costumes and it was just fun. After that we went downstairs to create our own virtual reality world. When you got the hang of it it was quite easy going through all of the procedures just at first it was a bit challenging. After we finished our 6 hours at Ontv we went to Te Papa to the Buglab where it was obviously about bugs but we mostly learn't about Mosquitoes. After that we went to h20 extreme a water park which was really fun. The last day we went to Wellington Zoo, as soon as the Otters saw us they came running up to the glass then they started to show off, after that we went to a marine reserve where we did snorkeling in freezing cold water. Early the next day we left the camp to come home.
