Multipulcation

During the last couple of weeks our class has been focusing on our timetable. My main focus is achieving my time and practicing more of the 3, 4, 6,8 timetable. At the moment I have accomplished 1,2,5,10,11 and a bit of 12. Hopefully by the end of term two I would be managed to answer all questions in a fast time. I also need to work on Problem Solving. I need to take my time and read the question carefully, but also problem solving usually uses multiplying and division. So as long as I remember my multiplication I'll be sweet as.

Achievable

Today we went to St. Bridges. It was really fun and I enjoyed every part of it. I made heaps of new friends and learnt new games that we could play inside the classroom. The thing that I wanted to get out of today was to try my best and to have fun. I think I achieved my goals.

Transport there and back was fun. We enjoyed a nice 10 minute ride on the train and we all excited. When we reached our destination we went into their chapel. During their chapel service we had to go to the front and write our names down on a piece of paper. When I went up I saw my name already written down. NICOLE. It was cool to know someone at their school had the same name as me.

After chapel it was morning tea. I ran around a lot and that was where everyone met each other. During break I was the first one that sprinted towards the playground as it looked really cool. Soon it was time for us to get into our groups. Achievable

I was in a group called "St.Paul," Our first activity was classroom hockey. It was really fun but at times I couldn't stop laughing. All the year 7's and 8's then met in a classroom up stairs. We sang a song and then said our farewells. As we were about to leave we were given lollipops then we were headed back to school.

As I said before I had a really good time. The students their were really helpful and felt like I already new them. So good luck St. Bridges and see you soon!

St Bridgeds

Tomorrow we will be going to St. Bridges for a normal school day.

 I'm most looking forward to see what they do during school time but most of all their playground. I want to get the most out of the sports and see what challenges await us. There will also be a free sausage sizzle which is a double bonus. I also can't wait for tomorrow as I would like to make new friends because you never no they could end up being in your class in the future.

 

What equipment do you think they have at the playground?

ASB Follow Up

Today we had a visitor form the ASB Bank. He told us how to make the right choices and the difference between needs and wants. He also told us no matter what job you've chosen it all comes with a price.  "Spend some on you, but save some too!"

I could relate that using money is hard to keep track of. Usually when I see something that catches my attention.  In the end it comes down to spending your money on something you want. If I had $10 I would buy something during the time I have the money and the rest would go straight into my wallet for next time. This is hard at times as there are so many things to buy but in the end as I was told today it depends on you.

My own money management is not that great as I mentioned before. Although if you had money in your pocket and you see something appealing would you buy it or just walk past it?

After the lesson with the ASB talker remember "Spend some on you but save some too!"

Longest Day

During the holidays I spent time with my family and friends. I did different activities each day and was very active as this term sport appears.

 Wednesday 1 May

 "Nicole, wake up it's 8:00 get ready for netball!" yelled my mum as she pulled the covers off me. The coldness woke me up instantly and in a minute I was all ready. To be honest I was just exaggerating it to me forever to get changed and to make my bed. Although at the same

time I was excited because everyone was going.

  "Alright is everyone here? We will now start with 2 laps around the courts and do sprints afterwards," said my mum. To start off my mum was our coach for that day. It was annoying at the start but then she turned out to be a great coach. We worked on learning new drills to develop new skills. I learnt how to do close defense and open defense and new set play moves. After a good hour of fitness and drills we finished off with a game of netball. My favorite positions are Center and Wing-Attack but if needed I can play anywhere.

After everybody left Sophia then asked me if I wanted to go and see Scary Movie 5 with others.  Of course I said yes and later that day Caitlin, Christine, Anna, Alyssa, Sophia and I went to the movies. The movie was quiet hilarious if you were watching it with Anna and Christine as they couldn’t stop laughing throughout the whole movie. At one point of the movie Alyssa and I had our eyes closed as funny but disturbing things were being shown.

At the end of the day I said good-bye to everyone and then was headed off to soccer practice. I saw Anna and Caitlin again ad we kept on laughing throughout practice. We then did more drills and all of a sudden I became tired. Soccer practice then ended and I couldn’t wait for the holidays to begin.

What was the most tiring thing you did throughout your holiday?
