Careers Day

A few weeks ago on Thursday the year 8's had Careers Day and all the yr 7's in our class and room 30 were navigators or videoers, but Olivia and I were doing the refreshments in the Management Center. It was really fun we had to serve food for our great guests in our school, they were telling the yr 8's what cool careers they might want to do when they are older it was an awesome day all over, I think everyone had fun.

Enrichment

At school the year 7's have been doing Enrichment every Thursday period 3 and 4, we got to chose the 5 best we wanted to do out of 9 categories French, German, Spanish, Design, Boot camp, Maori, Art and Photography, I.C.T and Antarctica.

Our Website

This is our website by Olivia, Madeleine and Me, called Are You Suspecting a Scam. We made this website so younger people can understand about money. The topic is the Rugby World Cup. This website shows three families going to the rugby world cup in three different places in New Zealand. The main topic is Literacy.

The Beach

There they are on the private beach, there next to the enormous shrub,with their beach umbrella. Their mum looking after her baby girl that's been born one year ago, wiping the vanilla ice cream that was on her face. The little girl cheerfully playing with her trinkets that she bought from home. The dad coming back from the jet ski ride he bought.

For the last few days we have been doing descriptive writing this is my story above.
