Looking Backward- looking Forward

Last term I really enjoyed participating in camp because I got to experience new activities and I got to know my camp mates really well. I also liked softball because I got to be our year 7 teams captain. We came second out of all the year 7 teams in the Eastern Zone tournament.

What I disliked about last term was Technology at Tamaki College. I didn’t like it because we didn’t get to do a lot of things in science that I thought we were going to do.

This term I really hope the people in my group at Tamaki College will be more sensible and more mature. Also this term I am going to try new things that I hope I really enjoy.

Great Inventions and Inventors

Back in 1888 Karl Benz invented the modern car in Germany.
The car Karl Benz invented had three wheels, no covering, did not have a steering wheel, 2.5 horse power and the design was different very different to today's cars.

The cars now have four wheels, covering around the car, a steering wheel, and a better design. We also have engines with much greater horse power.

Karl Benz was a great inventor because I don’t think that I could ever create anything like he did.
I bet If Karl Benz didn’t invent these machines we may not have any cars now.

My Letter Home

Dear Mum and Dad,
How are you? I hope you are well. I am very proud of my-self because I am getting my work done a lot better and I am understanding my work better too.

I have posted my two favourite post onto my blog which are called ‘Soccer, Soccer, Soccer!’ and ‘Fantastic Camp TC.’ I am learning to do maths and write better in class which has really helped me. Last of all I really enjoy working with my class.

Yours sincerely, Jarna.

Soccer, Soccer,Soccer!

Hi there, my name is Jarna and my favourite sport is soccer. I have been playing soccer for 7 years now, and I think that’s awesome! I really love playing soccer because it’s tons of fun but quite tiring after a while. I have been playing this sport ever since I was five years old and after my first match I really loved it.

My soccer season hasn’t started yet, but I will start playing my first pre-season game in two weeks on a Saturday. I can’t wait till I start soccer. I have a quick question for all you viewers, “ What is your favourite sport?”

The Fantastic Camp T.C

This year for the first time, team five was going to be having camp! This year our camp was called Take Charge. Our camp is called this because we are going to be taking charge by doing different things by ourselves for most of the time, I knew it was going to be awesome!

The groups and teachers for camp are Responsibles-Mrs Langitupu, Respectibles-Ms Va’afusuaga, Motivators-Mrs Nua, Thinkerz-Mr Barks, Carerz-Ms Tito, and my group ‘PARTICIPATORZ-Mr Harris. My team leaders were Helen Tui and Charm, I think they had done a great job as leaders.

I really had a great time doing all the activities at camp T.C, but the most activities that I enjoyed was kayaking with Mr Burt and some other helpers and the Dunker with Brooke from Rock Up. I really had a great time at camp and I can’t wait till the next one!
