Term 1

This term has gone by so quickly, and I have remembered so much learning from last year that I'm kind of glad the term has ended. This term has been really busy with camp, Japanese students, and school activities that school has been really fun. We are in the last week of term and last week was back to work after camp which was super fun. This week is only a four day week which means no school on Friday :). This term I have learnt a lot in maths from integers (negative and positive numbers) to standard form and scientific notation. This term we have also had our first three inter-house sports which were: minor games, swimming, and the most recent summer games. My house Puniu is currently coming in 4th place which is not where we usually are on the leader board. Waipa is coming third, Mangapiko second and Waikato 1st. 

On Thursdays we have all the school activities like extension art, band, guitar, rock band, etc. I am involved in three activities which is extension art in the morning, guitar in the middle block, and robotic in the afternoon. Extension art this year has been going really well as I also did it last year so I already have a little bit more practice than most of the people in there. Everyone in extension art is already a good artist, but sometimes Mrs. Dixon gives them a little bit of a hand which is fine as everyone needs help sometimes. Guitar has been really well and we have been given some of the harder music to work on this year. I have been progressing well, and have been practicing heaps at home to make sure that I improve and get it right. Robotics was a little step out of my comfort Zone as I had wanted to do it, liked maths, and I like playing with robots so I thought I would give it a go. Robotics has been really fun with Mr. Graham as our teacher. I have learn heaps on how to control and program the spheros that we have.

Term one has been really fun so far and I can't wait for term 2.
