Regional Sportsfest

On Wednesday the year 7/8's are going to a sports fest. I'm participating in netball with some of my friends. I think I can encourage my team to make it a fun day and even if we lose a few games we just have to keep our heads up and I think by doing this we will make the most of our day off school. I'm really exited because it's just a day filled with netball which is one of my favourite sports and I'm spending it with my friends (and cousin). I'm sure it will be a fun day for everyone and I hope it doesn't rain and get cancelled.
What sport are you participating in?

Don't change the flag

I personally think changing the New Zealand flag is a very bad idea, even though it looks pretty much exactly like Australia, and why are we putting so much effort into changing our flag can't Australia just change theirs. The main reason I think it is a bad idea to change the flag is because its completely fine just the way it is, it has the blue background for the royal navy, the stars to show our county's location in the south hemisphere and the Union Jacks recognizes New Zealand's historical origins as a British colony and dominion. Anyway if I had to choose my top four if we were going to change the flag it would be.....



But really I think if they changed the New Zealand flag then I will move back to America (not really, just trying to prove a point)
Anyway if you could choose whether to change the flag or not, what would it be?




ART!

The sort of art I enjoy doing is sketching because it only uses a pencil which is easy to use. I am pretty good at sketching and its fun. I am best at looking at photos from the computer then sketching them onto a piece of paper. I would like to improve painting because I am not good with a brush and I normally mix colours and cant paint very straight. One thing that I don't like is collage because it takes sooooo long! But it does end up looking pretty cool, here is my amazing art work

Memories....

So this week we have to share a good memory we have had with a family member but I'm just going to do a memory that included the whole family. So last Christmas my family plus my cousins and aunties and uncles we all travelled to Wanaka and spent 4 days there. It was really fun and we did lots of things like swimming, hiking, biking, walking, tubing, dancing and jumping of planks of wood.... It was good having the family together and being able to spend Christmas with them in a place like that. I really hope that we can do it again sometime!!!!

Holidays

I had one of the best holidays ever! In the first week I got to fly to Sydney with my FTC football team and play in a tournament against other Australian teams! But it wasn't just all soccer one of the days we got to go sight seeing around Sydney. We went to a stadium that had over 86,000 seats and had a private tour around there, jet boating in Sydney harbour, up the Sydney sky tower and shopping! It was so much fun probably one of the greatest experiences of my life! But after the six days in Sydney me and my dad hopped on a plane to America and spent just over a week there! There was a lot of shopping involved and we did so many fun activities! But now I'm jet lagged. Have you ever been to America or Australia?

Nairnville!!!

This term we have been going to Nairnville every Thursday for sport. I've been finding it really fun especially the first few weeks when we did gymnastics! I didn't really learn anything during our gym sessions because I could already do everything but after that we did ripper rugby. It was more fun than I expected and I think I got a few useful skills out of it even though I don't play it. Last week it was soccer and I love soccer! Even though most people didn't enjoy it I still loved it. I didn't really learn anything and it was like the gymnastics because I still had fun. I can't wait till tomorrow to do it again!
