Week 4

On Monday we had the S.P.C.A cupcake day that takes place all around New Zealand. I made 12 cupcakes for this event as I love the S.P.C.A for all their work. I made four chickens, four cows, and four pigs which took me all weekend of week three. The three winners of the decorating competition had their cupcakes auctioned on Facebook for the S.P.C.A. The winners for the decorating competition were given their prizes on Thursday and I got second. The prize was chocolate.
Also in Monday assembly we found out who the top sellers for our chocolate fundraiser were. First place sold 26 boxes of chocolate, he raised $1560.00 for our school. Second place sold 14 chocolate bars, she raised $840.00 for our school. And Third place sold 11 boxes of chocolate and she got $660.00 for our school. First place choose the XBox, second place choose the GoPro, and third choose the bike and the helmet.
The rest of the week was normal except for Thursday when we had Band Festival, but I wasn't involved with that. Overall my week went pretty well.

Week 3

This week on Monday we had to return all the chocolates and chocolate money because the chocolate selling had ended. This meant that there was on long line to Mrs Shaw's office to drop off money and sign for it. Lots of students ended up being late for assembly, but luckily I made it in time for SHINE awards. I earned my silver badge in week two which meant I would get it this week in assembly. 

In tech this week we had to start writing our blues songs for music on Tuesday. Bobby, Sophie J and I came up with the clumsy blues. Sophie J sings, Bobby does keyboard, and I do guitar. It sounds okay at the moment, but it isn't as bad as it may seam. Friday for tech we had to start creating a soundtrack for an advertisement where we have to have music and our voice just like on a normal add. 

On the weekend I spent basically the entire weekend making cupcakes for the S.P.C.A cupcake day on Monday week four. I made chickens, cows, and pigs out of fondant and put them on green fondant with the S.P.C.A logo on them. Hopefully they help raise money to help the animals that are in need of a good home. Anyone that reads my blog I encourage you to donate some money to the S.P.C.A as they do an amazing job caring and finding new homes for unloved pets. $1 can go a long way to help one animal find a new home.

Week 2

This week has still been pretty chill with finishing SLC and starting on maths and reading. Monday Mrs Crowe came back after a whole week out of class with an ear problem. Apart from school work in tech arts we are doing music and on Tuesday we were playing Bob Marley Three little birds. The teacher said we were all being really good so we all got an including others signature. So on Tuesday I earned my silver badge and I'm pretty sure I have just under 20 signatures to go till gold which I hope to earn by the end of the year.

Maths this term is area, perimeter, and volume. As it turns out I forgot just about everything from last year except how to find the circumference of a circle. To find the circumference of a circle you multiply the diameter by Pi (3.14). For Reading we have started on a short story task where we choose a short story from a given selection, read it, then write something like a book review on that particular story. Our writing task currently is to write our speeches for week four. My speech this year is about how life begins at the end of your comfort zone. This is a quote by Neale Donald Walsch and I found it off the internet in abstract quotes.

Thursday we went to the collage expo and also had the collage guitar group come into guitar to play and teach us a few things. When we went round the hall to look at the options I decided on three out of the four things that I want to do a collage which are: Music (guitar), Graphics, and also Agriculture. Also on Thursday I got to start on my next painting which is currently free choice.
