Where am I?

I see the red big building in the distance.

I see the bus waiting at the stop. 

I see the people with their animals. The signs saying vet.

I smell the petrol taking over. 

Shoppers going out to the cold with their weekly shopping. 

Chocolate bars fill my stomach.

I smell the chicken cooking. 

The underground car park fill of cars.  

Where am I?

My best day of the holidays

My favorite day of the holidays would of been my German students arriving. On Friday the 26th of July my German students arrived, the only reason we have two is because we are looking after one for our friend while they are in England. Their names are Alex and Chris. They both like football, and they brought heaps of lollies over from Germany and they taste really nice. I think they bought about 5-8kg's of lollies from Germany. They like everything I like and we always play football. Another favorite day would of been catching up with my friend who I haven't seen for a while. I was there for 5 days Monday to Friday and all we did was play Fifa 13 all day for 5 days, because there isn't much to do at his house.

Term2Overview

Main events we have had term 2 were camp, cross country, interhouse football and more. interhouse football has been my favorite competition of this term. Our first game was against Matai, Matai was a hard game because some of their players were pretty fast sprinters and they were aggressive. But that's not a problem, in the end we won 3-1. Then we played Kauri and won 6-1. I think we grew as a team because we were knowing each others abilities. A lowlight I have had would be losing in the final of interhouse football. Someone in our team stepped in the red circle and gave away a penalty. They scored and won the match. I have improved on my cross country moving up two places from last year, I got 10th last year and got 8th this year. And also my maths I have gone up a group and aced the Ikan as well. Something I still need to improve on is my writing because my punctuation isn't very good.

Service in school and community: S3: Become a tech angel and provide technical support.

On Friday the 28th of June, Flynn and I visited Greenpark school to help provide technical support. The class we chose was room 8 because that was Flynn's favorite teacher. We left Tauranga Intermediate School at 1:00 pm and got there at 1:10 pm. We got there just as soon as the bell rang. It was sorta weird walking in to the school I was at two years ago. We walked in the door with two packs of jelly joiners, the kids eyes lit up like fireworks. Ms Dawn (the teacher of the class) asked us to look at their class blog. When they got to the site Flynn and I were impressed, their blog had shiny or sparkly things, it had lots and lots of things that would get you to look at it. Ms Dawn asked us if we wanted to go out for a run, We looked at each other and said "yeah sure." We got out there and couldn't remember how to do it. The teacher's had a new type of system were you get cards for going past the teachers, I thought it was a good way to get the kids running, Another teacher asked if anyone wanted to use their red cards. Flynn said to me "is that for them to go first or what?" I replied saying I don't know? Then the kids went over to the P.E shed and grabbed out a ball. FREETIME. That's a good way to get the kids running, the more the run the more red cards they get.

After we finished we showed them our blogs and Online Learning Journals, and the kids look amazed. At the end of our day we gave out lollies to the kids, they walked around the tennis court's talking about what they learned. When we left I walked to mum's work and sat down on the couch. I thought "could I go to the dairy, I mean it's after school?" I went to mum and asked, she said "school's finished, ok sure come right back though" "Ok" I said. I got back with $3.00 worth of lollies and $2.00 drink.
The day I had was a really fun day with kids, that I once was. The kids were really nice they had good manners, they had good question's. I hope I get a homework challenge like this again.

Here are some pictures of us.
