Bay Of Plenty Championships 2017 Swimming Competition

On Thursday, I went down to Tauranga to compete at a Swimming Competition. It was a very big meet with the biggest number of competitors at a swim meet in NZ history. There were around 455 competitors there. The average is around early 300's so it was very tough trying to find space and getting into finals. I did very well in the meet taking a silver in the 100m Fly and 4th in the 50m Fly. I made most of my finals but it was very hard to perform. We also had a record breaking over at the meet from one of the swimmers which was very impressive. I'm only three seconds off one of them but I sill to train a little harder. I made a lot of great friends and I got confronted by a selector for the NZ teams to go international so that was good. I nearly got Personal bests for all my races and I never went majorly over my time. Overall it was a really great weekend with amazing talent exposed.

Term 2 Week 3

I was only here for two days because I had things but I'm still going to talk about what I learnt. On Monday we did Maths and I handed in my speech. I think I will do alright in my speech but I do need to use more expression when I present it. On Tuesday, we had Tech Arts and we wrote our blues song. Ours wasn't that great but we did a very good duo. We also played a game of Kahoot. I learnt how to not rush and put an answer straight away. I also had my SLC that day. It wasn't that bad. That was my week at school.

Term 3 Week 2

On Monday we had Mrs Crowe back. At assembly we had three gold badges given out to three students. On Tuesday we had Tech Arts. We learnt about Reggae music and a lot about Bob Marley. We also learnt how to play Three little birds on the guitar.

We also learnt a keyboard and drum rhythm.

On Wednesday we did Team Cross Country. On Thursday we had the College Exhibition where they came and showed us the things they do. I want to do Music, Graphics, Outdoor Ed, Food. On Friday we had Tech Arts where we learnt about Blues Music and the history behind it. We played some chords on a guitar that were similar to Blues music and we played a game of Kahoot against the class. I got into the Top 5 but that still wasn't enough. On Saturday we played netball against a team that came down from premiere and they won. On Sunday we went to netball tournament and we had so many people against our team. We accidentally hit a lady and we said sorry but she came at us and told us to say sorry. Then this lady said woohh! to us and OMG. What is worng.

Term 3 Week 1

We came back expecting a fresh start and we found out that our teacher wasn't feeling so well and so we had our principal instead. On Tuesday we had our first lesson for Music which was really cool. Last year, I hated music but this year I like it. We also went over Latin music. We learnt a lot about Latin music and where it came from. On Wednesday we did an Australian Maths test. It wasn't that bad but some of the questions I found quite challenging. On Thursday we had band. We still have a lot of work to do. On Friday we had Tech Arts where we learnt about Irish music and what type of style they like. Then we had Maori where we learnt a lot about Kingitanga.
