Tuesday 31 July

Today started with a ride to school, during form time we did the normal things we read the notices.

For first period I had Maths, during maths we did some more interesting algebra problems, we also did some random word problems which were very hard, After Maths I had Social studies when we did some more work on the history of New Zealand and did the post test for the unit we have just finished.

Once Interval had finished we had P.E in the Gym which is one of my favourite things for the week, after a quick change back into normal uniform we had French, today we started looking at the different Mountains and rivers around France and we did started going through our new book called Touche 2 which is the second of the books to learn about French.

After Lunch I had English where we watched more of our movie and wrote some more notes. That's just another day at AWATAPU

Today was a quiet day for me at Awatapu for me. Probably because I had two tests and my head was always down looking at my test paper! Yep, thats right. One in Social Studies where we had to do an assignment on the first settlers of Aotearoa and one in Japanese on Japanese figures and expressions. We also had a Japanese visiter come in to see us. She was wearing her japanese school uniform which I think is way better than ours!

Also today we had Maths, where we were studying algebra and Physical Education where we were showing off our skills at badminton, yeah right! He He!

Lastly was English. We had just finished our english project on a movie called 'Back to the Future' and are now doing a study on Robin Hood.

We ended the day by collecting our mid-term reports back at form class. We all got excellence on all of our subjects of course!, He He!, and we were soon on our way home looking forward to tomorrow!

Before Form Time!!

When we got to school it was raining so we were all chilling out in the corridors with the nice warm heaters!!

My FANTASTIC day!! (that is using ENTHUSIASM-this weeks virtue!!)



Well today started with an AWESOME sleep-in because on Fridays the school staff have a meeting so the students have no Period One!!



Then the whole school gathered in the school gym for our fortnightly assembly!!



After the Sports, Drama, Academic and House Challenges updates the school headed to Period Two which for me was SCIENCE!! We completed some funky Sound Wave posters we have been working on!!



Then we spent interval in the sunshine-catching up with friends and news!!

For Period ThreeI had a reliever for Maori so we did sheet work-FUN FUN FUN!!



Then I was supposed to have ICT but one of the Year 9 deans asked me to be runner-a messenger for the office staff and teachers!!



Then it was time for lunch. I had the school camera so I could put some photos in this Blog so I found a few posers...

After lunch I finished the day with PE-and it wasn't theory!! AWESOME!!! We played Badminton as it is the Year 9 focus game this term!! and our PE teacher, Mr Reid, taught us some new rules and strategies!!

Blog of the 26th july

I've missed out a blog yesterday because I had one of those omg the sheet turns over moments and spent a lot of last minute work on it. Today was mufti day and like on all mufti days I spent most of my time pondering why we can't just always wear mufti, it would be so much easier but if you asked a teacher they would probably give you some complex answer on why we don't always wear it.

Also I found that I need to keep these posts positive so, aaahh um, so I saw the sun once today. Just kidding Awatapu is a great school some other schools just seemed too robotic for me but Awatapu, sure, some classes may be boring but most people just have to deal with it I've found most classes interesting and ones we didn't do quite as much work in is good to talk in as long as you pay attention to what is said or risk a confusing end of year test. I feel sorry for those people at some schools who have to wear speedos, if only I could see my friend who does, it just makes me laugh, and I think I just over used the amount of commas aloud in a sentence.

No, that is not gibberish! That was just part of a speech that I had to give in Japanese today. We all had to do one and you would probably take us for Japanese 'cause we sound so good!

That was only part of a really busy day at Awatapu as next was music and with that came my very first flute lesson. Being my first lesson my music didn't sound very musical but I have a great teacher and now I now how to hold it properly so it dosn't break! This is very important as I don't think I could pay for a new flute!

Another thing that happened today was extension maths. There was a test that was very long so we had to come in 15 minutes early from interval, not that we minded very much because it was windy and cold.

Even after school school related activities were still going on. I was apart of the 'new thing' at Awatapu called 'Sports Enhancement' and we had to meet at UCOL for the official opening. The 20 of us chosen will work with 20 UCOL students to, I guess, enhance our sport!. It was pretty cool as we got our photos taken and we got T-shirts!

Well, thats all for today! Sayoonara! (no, still not gibberish! )
