Today LS2 had their first session of dance with Mrs Anderson. First we watched a couple of videos about warming up. Before you get ready to dance you need to get your blood muscles running. To get your blood muscles running you need to do warm ups and stretches. We all had to find a space to have a practice. After that Fifita and I worked together to make up our own warm up routine.Fifita and I were really excited because we knew that it was going to be fun. After we drew our warm up exercises we had to show another group. Fifita and I were groups with Zahra, Sa kae, and Jorja. They showed us their warm up routine first. It was really interesting but all they needed to work on was their Confidence. Now it was our turn we showed them our warm up routine. Fifita and I needed to work on our confidence as well. We all had so much fun even Mrs Anderson.

Photo Story

This week I have finished my photo story of the days that I have been at camp. This blog post was hard to do because I had to look at all the photos and try my best to find myself.

Can't believe they made us do this!

I felt very nervous in the dark. My heart was racing, we set off behind each other in a line.We walked very slowly step by step, with other shoulder in front of us for us to see.

We were greeted by the glow worm community. As each  step we took we got further along the pathway as we all grabbed on each other and came closer. I could feel mud going throw my shoes. Each time the light went out the chatter of insects got louder and the screams of classmates came closer.

As we tiptoed across the small  bridge Mrs A and Mrs C was taking a photo of a huge spider. Mrs C shone the light at the spider and Mrs A screamed when the spider came back and stared at us. We were so excited to see the lights back at camp until a cricket started heading towards us on the deck.        

Last week the year 7's and 8's went on camp to Kokako Lodge. This recount is about our night walk. The night walk was really scary when everyone turned their torches off and all we could see was the darkness coming for us.

Paper planes project.

Yesterday we have started something new. Mrs Anderson has created a maths challenge. We have been trialing and making planes. This challenge was very interesting and it was very fun because everyone participated and made a plane. This was a silent challenge because Mrs Anderson wasn't talking to us in that session. Instead of Mrs Anderson talking she showed us a google slide about what we are going to do. It was really fun.

speech 2016

Why is Smoking bad for you?

Greeting do you all .And i am going to talk about why is smoking is bad for you. This might help you encourage people not to smoke when you are older, so you wouldn’t have damaged lungs or other organs.

Did you know smoking can affect people to smoke?

Yes because Smoking is one of the most common cancer deaths in the world according to the Americans. 90% of males struggle with lung disease because how they smoke. It can also cause you by having heart disease and giving you old lungs.

I think that people should not smoke because they could end up cancer. Would you smoke? Almost everyone knows that smoking causes cancer and heart disease that could shorten your life by 10 years or more. The habit can cost a smoker thousands of dollars a year.

Tobacco smoking

Around New Zealand 5,000 people  die each year in new zealand because of smoking or secondhand smoke exposure.That's 15 people a day.

Until you quit, you should only smoke outside your home and always protect your kids from secondhand smoke.  Children with asthma whose parents smoke have more asthma than children whose parents don’t smoke. Infants and children of all ages develop health problems. They also spend a lot of time with parents and Infants who breathe in other people’s cigarette.

Giving up smoking isn’t easy for some of your parents, but there are plenty of people who want to help make the process easier for you. If you have managed to quit before  well done  it will be less difficult next time.

You should think before you start doing stuff that ain’t good for you, you should always make the right choices when it comes to smoking. When you start smoking you damage your lungs and that’s not good. If you go to hospital because smoking has caused a very serious problem you will regret the day that you started. Stop before it gets worse.

Today we done speeches. My speech was about "Why do we Fear." I choose this because I think that some students have fear in them and so I wanted to speck about how to conquer fear and how we can overcome fear.
