Week 4 Term1

This week we was tests week, so we had to do basically all the required tests and we still have a few more to do. This week we also started maths and we learnt, or revised on place value, rounding, significant figers (s.f.), total value, simplify/expand, and estimation. In tech we have nearly finished our sweatshirts and in the process we have learnt and applied the skills we have learnt like sewing a 1.5cm sem, hemming, and using applique if a design is being put on.

Week 3

This is the third week into term one and there is lots of things going on both in and out of class.
In class we have done only one test so far and that's asttle writing. We have also done a maths test that we do for each subject in maths. Other than that there has been no other tests.

In tech arts we have been doing sewing. On Tuesday we learnt how to do a 1.5cm sem with a zigzag outside, an applique (putting a design onto fabric) with zigzag stitch, and how to do a hem. Then on Friday we cut out our material for the sweatshirts we are making. In doing this we were taught how to effectively mark and cut out with using the lest materials possible. We also learnt to line the straight of grain arrow with the edge of the fabric.

Wednesday was swimming heats and I participated in freestyle 50 meters and 25 meters, breath-stroke 50 meters and 25 meters, and backstroke 25 meters.

On Thursday we had head student announcements and as I had applied unfortunately I was disappointed as I did not get the role.

Week 1 and 2 Term 1 2017

Hello and welcome back to my blog for 2017. This year is my last year at intermediate as this year I am a year eight. These past two weeks that I have spent here at T.A.I. have been manly setting up things and learning how the school works again. Somethings have changed from last year including... canteen prices and times, going into year eight, and also applying for important leadership roles within the school. Going into year eight has been a big shock and at the same time not at all. I have had to lead by example more than ever now as we have new year sevens. This year I decided that I would apply for house captain and last year I applied to be head student for 2017. next week (week three) at school singing we will finally find out who the head students will be and then shortly soon after the house captains will be announced. I can't wait to see what the year holds.
