Farewell

Being in room 19 has been a wonderful opportunity for me to make new friends.  It has been a good year having a fun and creative teacher Ms Tito. This year i have made many friends and have had lots of fun.  One of my friends name is Raihan, he is now my best friend.

I will miss my friends when I carry on my learning at college.  I will miss what they have done for me. I hope I will see them in the future. Have a fun and cool life to all the year 7 and teachers.

I will also miss our wonderful teachers and teacher aids. It has been wonderful knowing all of these teachers and what they do for us.  I will miss everyone thank you for being kind to me.

I will miss everything and everyone in the school. I hope this school will carry on to make dreams and hopes come true thank you Teachers.

Camp Keswick

On Tuesday was going to be awesome day for the year 8 it was camp day. As all year 8 pack the bus we boarded the bus. It was a long ride into we got to camp but it was worth it. We meet a man Rob he was the boss. We headed inside to unpack and get ready for our first thing.

We had to go a for hike up a bush walk. My feet were aching when I got half way rocky and dusty path it was like hell. I finally got to the top it was all downhill from here lucky my feet was going to fall off.

One of my favorite things to do was the luge and the Geyser. I like the luge because it was my first time and is was fast. When I was racing down the hill I past Richard it was so fun.

The Geyser was my favorite because it look interesting at it shoots boiling hot water in the air. The only bad thing was it smell really bad but it was a cool camp.Thank you teachers.  

Carlos's Netbook Reflection

It has been a good opportuning having a netbook this year. When I did not have a netbook I didn’t really know my maths. Into I got a netbook. I have search strategies to help, now I am one of the best mathematician in our class. I have also learn about pi and why it is involved with maths.

Our netbook have also helped me with reading,art,writing and many more. Instead of reading normal books I have been reading online books.One of my favorite site is Kiwi News because it tell us kids what is going on in world and why.

At home when my brother Vincent was bored I jumped on my netbook and showed him a cool clip on how play dough can make a light bot work. We bought the stuff to make it and went back online to watch how to make it.

Our teacher has always told us to be purple cow (stand out of others). Mrs T has also told us to think outside of box and you will become more better than before. My friend Anthony has always been a purple cow that is why he always stands out.

I have learned from my friend Anthony how to  sow a ripped couch. It has help me in life. I have helped him by recording his movies and editing it to. We have come good friend and will always have each others back.

My thinking have become better and better because of our netbooks. It has also hit top of the class.Thank you Mrs and Mr Burt for our net book.
