On Monday I learnt how to use scratch [a computer coding website] and I also learnt more about how a
powhiri is and now we have a new Japanese teacher as well as a new teacher for room 6 because Mrs Davidson is have a baby later this year. This time for the powhiri my class sat at the very front next to the kapa haka students who sand three Maori songs to start and end the Powhiri. It must of been a new experience for them both as they both looked very confused,I think they will be lovely teachers at our school, unfortunately the new teacher for room 6 will only be here for one year. On Tuesday I learnt how to deal with depression, anxiety and if you feel unsafe in your community and things like that. Mike King, came this afternoon and he told us about his life and how he got addicted to alcohol when he was 13 and addicted to drugs when he was only 19.
On Wednesday I learnt how to use SAS Writer Reviser [an add on for editing work], I started using SAS writer on Monday but I learnt how to properly use it on Wednesday. There are lots of topics on SAS writer for it to edit for you. But in my class we only used it for various reasons.
Firstly because we have been searching for an add on for quite a while now.
Secondly because us students don't really pick out simple, compound and complex sentences that easily and
quick. And lastly cause it uses more time trying to edit instead we can just go onto Google docs and it will already be there for us. On Thursday I learnt how to play the song on my clarinet, Supercalofragilisticexpelodocious. I also learnt the
times dates and what songs we are doing at our concert in two weeks. The senior band is doing about ten songs, [I'm in Junior band] junior band is doing about six songs and Choir is doing six songs as well. We also learnt the rehearsal times etc. I'm really looking forward to Music Camp because
its a totally new experience and its only my first year playing a clarinet. On Friday I
learnt how competitive the
trialists for the Belmont Netball team. Today I
trailed for the Belmont netball team and they were trying so hard to be
perfect so they would get in, but they were trying too hard to reach
there goal and be someone else they ended up failing, so not catching the ball, missing all the goals and even getting called for Obstruction every time they defended a player. Make sure when
your trying to make it into a team, try not to show off or be the best, just
relax take your time and pretend its just a normal game of netball. On Saturday I learnt how to not let your team bunch together as well as making space with your
parter when they're sticking to you.
At my netball game we won 14-4 to a TAI netball team and a girl called Julia that was in that team, in my class and she was defending me. On Sunday I
learnt that
when ever I go shopping I always need to bring my money because today I went shopping and there were about ten things that I wanted to get but I didn't bring my money. Today was a fun day shopping especially because my grandma came down to spend time with us.
