Commonwealth games

Hi people,

Today I'm doing my post on the Commonwealth games! We have to chose one of the events and write about it. So I have chosen to write about the netball game between New Zealand and Uganda.

One value they showed was perseverance because at the start of the game the other team was winning the silver ferns kept on trying and didn't give and in the end they ended up winning 64-51!

The also showed creativity. They use creative techniques to get the ball, intercepting and passing in usual ways making them unpredictable. That was also a important thing to do to win the game.

That's all for today,

Netball was invented in August 19271 

Camp!!!

Hello people😆,
I'm back from camp! And that's what I'm going to be talking about today. On wards to the Q&A!

What did you find the most challenging?

The thing I found most challenging was probably caving. Because we had to crawl through holes, KNEE DEEP in water and to make it worse I had to keep my cast dry!

What did you find the easiest?
Can I say sitting around playing game of life? Apart from that it was probably riding on the flying fox.

Was it what you expected?

Yes and no at the same time. I expected the abseiling to be different, I did not think it would be outside and in nature. I didn't expect that caving would have involved so much squeezing through tiny gaps. But the flying fox and bridge jumping was what I thought it would be like. (I did not expect to walk through a swamp).

What was your proudest moment?

Probably when we went caving. In the end we had to find our way out by ourselves. The only instructions we got were that we had to  stay in the water and follow the stream upwards. AND to make it we only had one torch AND had to keep my cast dry!

Describe your favorite moment!

My favorite moment was also caving because we all worked together as a team. And it was really cool seeing heaps of glow worms, wetas and spiders.  

That's all for today,

Eleven MILLION people go on a summer camp every year.

Back at school!

Hello, 
I'm back! Today I'm talking about the start of the school year. I can not believe that it is already week 6! Well onto the Q&A.

Have you got to know any people better?

 I have got to know and become friends with some of the newer students such as Anna. And I have also got to know quite a few of the year 7's better considering a lot of them are in my class. 

What have you enjoyed so far?

I have enjoyed seeing my friends again, getting back to some of my favorite subjects (writing and reading). 

How are your organisation and time management skills going?

I am better at organizing what tasks to do and when, probably because I have had a year of practice.

What are you most looking forward to for camp? 

Everything! The actives (bridge jumping sounds so cool) and sleeping with my friends sound the best though. 

Well that's all for this week,

Kate!

Next year!

Hi people,
Today's post is on next year and how I'm feeling about been a year eight. Well on to the Q&A;

What are some things you want to do/try/achieve next year?

Well I'm running for house captain so it would be really cool if I could get in for that. I would like to get a main role for the production.  

What are somethings your looking forward to next year?

Ummm, I'm definitely looking forward to the production and the change of class. I like the class I'm in at the moment but it would be cool if next year I could be Sandrine, Olivia AND Amelia.

What are somethings that could be challenging?  

Well if I was in a class without any of my friends, that would be sad. And when I'm a year eight I would have tones more responsibility so that could also be hard.

Well that's all for today,
LIONBLAZE OUT!

Book Week:)

Hi guys,
I'm back with another post. This week we get to choose our topic and since I'm a bookaholic I HAD to do it on book week! 
So book week is exactly what it is called, throughout the week we get to do tones of stuff to do with books, like reading picture books to little kids, filming scenes from books, dressing up as your favourite book character stuff like that. We tones of activities so I'm just going to my favourite two.

The first thing I'm going to talk about is filming a scene from a book. My group was Sandrine, Amelia and Olivia. The book we decided to do was Awful Auntie. We did two scenes the first one was were Stella found out her parents had been poisoned (Me and Amelia were the parents Olivia was Soot and Sandrine was Stella). The second scene which we filmed was when the police came to look at the inspect to crime. It was really fun to film especially acting out the detective.

The last thing I'm going to talk about is the book quiz. So two people from each year group in every house got chosen to participate in the quiz. From my house (Murphy) me and Sandrine got chosen. The actual quiz was in the form of a Kahoot and luckily it wasn't to hard. AND MURPHY WON!

Well that's all for today,

Because Of Winn Dixie

Heyo,
Hi people I'm back with an other post this week its about a book you read when you were younger. As you can probably I'm writing about "because of Winn Dixie". I was around eight when I first read it so I can't remember the exact plot but I'll explain it as best I can.

The book is about a girl called Opal, who's life basically sucks. Her mum had left Opal and her dad when she was still a little girl. She just had to move away from her old home and Opal missed her old town and friends. Until one day when she was out in the village shopping she sees a stray dog ransack a fruit and veggie shop. Opal felt sorry for this hungry stray, and brung him home. The story is about how how the dog (which she named Winn Dixie after the Grocery store she found him in) falls in love with Opal and how Opal falls in love with him. 

The story is soooo cute and I still read it now and then, because it is really well written and just an easy read for when ever your bored.

Well that's all for today,

Learning stuff

Hello people,
This weeks post is a bit weird, I have to explain three things I have learned recently at school. Okay here we go;

First I learned about is what plagiarism is and why it's so bad. I learnt about it when we were doing a lesson on Egypt. I think it stuck with me because you can get arrested and put in jail for plagiarism. The thing is plagiarism can be anything really, copying a tiny sentence or a whole essay.   

Another thing I learnt was how to divide and multiple fractions. I have never been very good with fractions but after a while I started to understand what to do. And (bonus) it was really fun! The weird thing is when your dividing fractions they get bigger and when you multiply them they get smaller!

The last thing I learnt was about the pyramids. I didn't learn just one fact but several such as- 
-The biggest pyramid ever built was made in Giza for king Kufu
-They were filled with hundred's of traps for robbers
-There are two types of pyramids, step pyramids and sloped pyramids

Well that's all for today,
