Sports Monitor

Being a Sports Monitor is awesome from helping other kids to training them for sport tournaments. I have been helping other kids by getting them sports equipment for them and helping the year 5's for their cricket tournament. I've enjoyed so much being a sports monitor but the best thing is probably helping people to train for their sports tournament. I've learned if you don't close the P.E shed it gets very messy in there. One thing I found challenging was trying to put the P.E trolley back in the P.E shed because it's hard to manoeuvre the trolley in the narrow path to the P.E shed.

ASB (Auckland Saving Bank)

The Get Wise program from ASB came to our class today. And the whole hour was interesting but at the same time hilarious. It teached us about how to make, save and how different types of work gives you different amounts of money. Like if you worked as a lawyer since it takes about 6-8 years in University to get this degree it is a important job so this job earns the highest income. Another one he talked about is an executive director. And for this job it only takes 3-4 years in University so this job has a medium income. The last job is being a cashier and since you don't need any qualifications this job has the lowest income. The lesson was awesome so it was definitely worthwhile. My financial goal is to save up till I get old enough so then I can spend my money on important stuff. I don't use my money that much so I'm not really sure if I'm good at it.

Mission Fair

Charity

On Friday we had the Mission Fair to raise money for the Cyclone Pam victims in Vanuatu. Ollie, Liam, Harry, Josh, Henry (Sadly he wasn't actually there) and I ran a Pillow Fighting stall. We did pretty good we raised $59.60 but we could have probably done better. What went well was that a lot of people just wanted to have fun attacking their friends with the pillows. Some things that didn't go well was that some times we had long queues but a fight had already started so they had to wait for a bit for their fight. Another thing that didn't really go well was that in the middle of the Mission Fair we had no customers for about five minutes! But overall the mission fair was always and always will be awesome so it was still great to be in.

Anzac Day

Lest We Forget

World War One was supposed to be the war that ends all wars but everyone knows that that wasn't true because of the 2nd World War. Some things I have learnt about the World War was that a lot of the people in the World War wanted to see the world and they thought it was a great opportunity to see the world. Another thing I have learnt is that New Zealand and Australia landed in the wrong place because I thought they did land in the right place but they were unlucky and that they got ambushed. I didn't go to any ANZAC events in the weekend but I did watch The Avengers. I do think it is important for you to go to these events but my mum and dad doesn't know a lot about ANZAC Day so we don't usually go to these events.

EOTC (Education Outside The Classroom)

EOTC was a great and fun week of activities.
One of the things I struggled in was the tubing we did at El Rancho.
Because it was hard walking in stones barefoot and walking on slippery rocks was hard too. But it was fun anyway. The easiest thing to do was the activities at nairnville. Because it is just fun activities and quick awesome games so it was easy and fun. It was better than I expected. It was amazing and fun the whole week round. It would have been better though if we did sailing. :(\

I was proud when I got tagged once in the ball game we played. It was a quick fire game so I was very proud that I got tagged only once.The best and my favourite moment was when I went into the Plane simulator using the oculus rift. Because I always wanted to try the oculus rift since it came out and I could not believe that for a plane simulator you would be able to use one.

Group Work

In class we have been working with other people in the other intermediate classes on a art project of a Maori legend. Our group picked How Maui brought Fire into the world. I am with Liam and Henry. The problem is we are all bad at drawing and thinking of good art ideas. We are all good friends and we work well together so it's a pretty good group. I have very good ideas and I'm ok at colouring but other than that I am not very good at art. I don't really know what I can work on but it might be at my group work skills because some times I fall apart and just play around but sometimes I help though.

Study

I have been learning a lot this past few weeks. One of the things I have been learning about is the cricket world cup. We had to learn about one team from the Cricket World Cup. I got Afghanistan. And some things I learnt was, well I kind of already knew this but anyway, that there was a lot of war. And one of the wars is still going to this day. 

Another thing I have learnt is that Riley got some level 100 shiny Pokemon. I mean that is pretty cool. Anyway he got these Pokemon from the Pokemon game Omega Ruby.

The last thing I have learnt about is putting back the computers properly. I knew most of the the things but the one thing I didn't know was that I had to put the cables in and then put the computer in pushing in rest of the cable with it.
