A Successful Finish!

A few weeks ago our movie was screened at Hoyts Cinemas in Sylvia Park. It was for the Manaiakalani Film Festival. We started our first shoot in July and finished our last one in September - so that was about two months of shooting.
We had a few ups and downs shooting the movie, agreeing and disagreeing to certain things but we got through it. After we finished shooting and editing our movie we were really impressed so we decided to go with that. After the screening at the Cinema we had some really positive comments from teachers and students even some from other schools. If you haven't seen our movie yet then click on the video below - that was A Successful Finish!.

   

My Prediction!!

My Prediction!!

Our P.A.T testing has started and we've done a few, so today's blog is about My Prediction on our next test. I predict that we'll be having a test on Thursday and the subject might be Vocabulary. The reason why I have chosen this subject is because we have done our writing test, reading test, maths test and gloss test. If you want to know if my prediction is right then stay tuned until the next blog THANK YOU.

There's Plants Everywhere!!

There's Plants Everywhere!!

A few weeks ago, we went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens. Everyone was excited to go even the teachers. When we arrived everyone was thrilled to go there. All classes followed each other but my class went our own way. Before starting our journey we stopped and I was put in charge as our map guider. First off we went into the Rock Garden to the Urban Trees, Threatened Native Plants and lastly to The Native Plant Identification Trail. At the end we went for a drink and strolled back to the bus. Everyone had fun, I also had a great time being our map guider and we were all exhausted, arhhhhhhh.

Receiving My Cross Country Certificate

Last term we had our school cross country race and I did a blog about that so go and check it out. It is called 2nd At Cross Country. But this blog is about me receiving my cross country certificate.

This happened last term straight after the lunch time bell, "RINGGGG!" We had to line up in front of the library and wait for our teachers to go in. We went in and sat down. First off the certificates were sent out to the Third placers, then next Second placers, where I was placed. My name was called and I went up and received my certificate from our sports teacher, Mr Reid. Next we took photos and went back to class and took some more photos and some videos.

2nd At Cross Country

On Wednesday afternoon we had our school Cross-Country Race and yeah in the title it says, "2nd At Cross Country", so that means I came 2nd place.

First off the year 1's - 7's started then us the year 8's. When we went to the start we all got ready except for me, because I was too busy posing in front of the camera but out of nowhere I heard, "GO."  Everyone started running but I was still posing, so I quickly looked to the right and everyone was gone so I darted as fast as I could to catch up with the runners, then in no time I caught up. We had to do 3 laps. In the middle of the race I felt so tired, that I felt I was going to faint. At the end I passed my friend Maranatha. As I was running around the field I could hear everyone saying " GO QUROS!!!" So I ran as fast as I could towards the finish line and I got there. YAY!! I felt exhausted after that race and I was also excited that I placed 2nd.

Here is a few pictures throughout the whole race!!

Just Doing My Job

"Just Doing My Job"

This afternoon I helped my friends Heilala and Sophie-Isabella create a video for Netball. It was fun, funny and annoying because we kept on restarting our video over and over again. When we finished we were impressed then we took a photo. After we went back to class and showed our teacher ( Mrs Golder ), she was impressed too. 

Back At Snag Golf

Last week on Friday our first Coach Jay was sick so we had another coach and joining us was Coach Danny. For today's lesson we were taught how to chip the ball over, in or onto something. We were all split up into groups of 3 and 2, I was with my friend Meana. I really  enjoyed chipping the ball.  It was very interesting. Me and Meana were working together as a TEAM. We both did some communicating, sharing and being fair. Snag Golf was amazing and I can't wait until next week's Snag Golf lesson.

Here's a video:
