5 day Easter Holiday

Hi guys I'm back and today I'll be talking my Easter weekend. Every Easter our  family is really busy because we run liturgies, go to masses and we also do the Visita Iglesia. Visita Iglesia is a tradition usually done on the evening of Holy Thursday, but we did it early on Good Friday. We did it with our prayer group and went around seven churches. We did two stations, from the stations of the cross, in each church then afterwords we went to St Thomas Moore church in Wilton for the Veneration of the Cross.

On Saturday we stayed at home because it was Black Saturday and just did homework and watched TV. On Easter Sunday we went to mass and we went to church early because we were choir. After the mass we went to a friends house to have lunch then went to a meeting in another house before coming back home. On Monday I played on my tablet and we also went to watch Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. On Tuesday I played with my friends and went to a movie fundraiser. The movie was Kung Fu Panda 3. In the whole Easter weekend the time that I made someone feel good  was probably when our family bought a new desk and we had to set it up and it took us a long time but we did it. We were all happy and proud of what we had achieved.

So that was the post for this week and I'll see you guys next time.

Hillary Outdoors Camp

Hi guys I'm back from my week off and today I'll be talking about why I didn't post last week,
CAMP!!!





All the year 8s went to Hillary Outdoors Camp on Monday and left school at 9:55. We did lots of fun and different activities there as well. The most challenging thing I did there was probably the high ropes because I am a little bit scared of heights. Each activity at the high ropes pushed me to do my best. The first one, jumping to another platform, was the easiest but I had to push myself to do it. The second one, the slowly moving log, was one I set a goal for. My goal was to get to the other side... by just standing up, without holding anything. I managed to do it and I was really proud of myself. The third one and my personal favourite, The rock climbing line of death, It was definitely the hardest one because you had to have really good grip strength and really good upper body strength. Some of the rock climbing rocks could be twisted so it was hard for my feet to stay on it.

One thing I found easy was the low ropes because it was only a meter off the ground and I trusted my group entirely...well...maybe not. The activities were what I expected but the experience wasn't what I was expecting at all. Like teamwork went to a whole new level and communication also went to another level. So it was a very good learning curve. My proudest moments were when I went first in most of the caving challenges and picked the hardest one. I also got to experience it first as well. My favourite moment was bridge jumping. I had no fear walking up to the bridge and once you jump you feel like the whole world stopped. You can hear your heart beating and everything goes silent...
SPLASH!!!
And all of a sudden you're in the water, just with a click of a finger.

So that was the post for this week and answer the poll on the right >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

CAMP!!! CAMP!!! CAMP!!!

Hi guy I'm back and today I'll be talking CAMP!!! Next week The year 8s and I will be going to Camp at Hillary Outdoors near Taupo. I'm looking forward to being with my friends for a week and being away from my parents for a week...

Anyway it's going to be fun doing activities with my friends. On my way there I'm going in Jesse's car with Jesse (of course), Liam, Fraser, Henry and Harry. My cabin group has all of us who went in Jesse's car and a few other boys. The things I'm most nervous about is probably cleaning the toilet (I feel like this is every ones worry). I can make camp fun and enjoyable with jokes.
Me: Why did the chicken cross the road?
You: I don't know
Me: I don't know too

Anyway so that was the post for this week and next week I'll be on camp so I won't be posting.
Answer the poll on the right>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
And I'll see you guys next time.

Duolingo

Hi guys I'm back and today I'll be talking Duolingo. Duolingo is a website where you can learn different languages. So far I am 16% fluent in Spanish 3% more than Fraser (<<Click on his name and you can got to his blog). What I like about it is you can friend other people and see how much xp your friends have on a leader board. I'm up to 'time' in Duolingo and probably the hardest for me was conjunctions. The reason it was hard for me is that I didn't know you had to put extra words into the sentence and sometimes change around words. This has definitely helped me learn Spanish. Most words I can remember but some I forget so I check it by hovering over the words with my mouse. Probably a tip to remember is probably doing the test over again so each word gets stuck in your mind.

So that was the post for this week and sorry for the people who looked at last weeks post early I forgot I hadn't put the poll up yet. So the poll is now on the right side >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
After you finish reading pls answer the poll, other than that I'll see you guys next week :)

TECH

Hi guys I'm back and today I'll be talking about Tech at Mt Cook School. There are five classes Electronics, Woodwork, Sewing, Movie Making and Cooking. I'm in Cooking. Out of the two weeks we have been to tech we have made bread and samosas. We'll be making lots of different food over the coming weeks and next week we'll be making curry. I'm looking forward to electronics and wood works. I'm looking forward to electronics because in year 8 I'm pretty sure we're making cars and it sounds like fun. I'm also looking forward to wood works because we'll be making battle ships which sounds cool.

So that was the post for this week and answer the poll on the right >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>                 Until next time BYE!

Beginning of the year!!! :(

Hi guys I'm back this year with weekly posts and this year I'm year 8!

Anyway...

I'm the guy who flips because I'm awesome

I'm here to talk about how the beginning of the year has gone for me. So far I've enjoyed playing dodgeball against the other classes. We haven't lost a game yet this year...

I had to save our team against Room 12 the two times we went against them. I'm getting pretty well with my time management skills. I also can't wait untill camp because the Year 8s from last year had told me a bit about it.
If you enjoyed this post comment it down below and I'll see you guys next time. Till then...

LOL

Best Moments This Year

Hi guys I'm back and today I'll be talking about my favourite moment this year. So far my favourite moment of this year has to be playing dodge ball every Friday. Dodge ball is fun because after a week of tasks you get to relax and play something fun. I'm one of the best catchers in year 7 and 8 but now that everyone knows...

NO ONE THROWS THE DODGE BALL AT ME

PLS THROW IT AT ME!!!

Anyway the last thing I need to talk about is where I think the Big Day Out (BDO) will be at. I WANT the Big Day Out to be at the bubble soccer arena. If you don't know what bubble soccer is, it's basically soccer but your in a bubble and you can run into the opponents and knock them over. They can do this back to you as well.

So that was the post for this week and I'll see you guys next time.
