Bellissimo!

Bellissimo Is our schools Small choir, I had been trying to get in for years, and at the end of last year I did get in, I was really happy. We had been talking about going to a overseas Competition, in Hawaii or Canada. Miss Jones Sent a disk away at the beginning of the holidays, AND WE GOT IN! she told us when school started again that in 2009 we would be going to Hawaii, and stay there for a week and a bit! I was totally excited, its going to be heaps of fun. We are doing heaps of fund raising, which we will be doing All year. On the 29Th there will be a car boot sale/ car wash at the school $15 per park space and a donation for the car wash, its being held at the school car park, so if anyone wants to get rid of so stuff or have a car wash then come along, also there will be a sausage sizzle. It will be a great day! i will post any other up coming events that come up through out the year!

Ingo! Can you risist the call of the Deep?

< This Is the book Ingo! When i first saw it i was like "ah mum, its about mermaids.... I'm not five anymore",Then one day i started reading it, it turned out to be really good, i ended up getting the other three booking of this series. Okay they may not appeal to all but i happened to fine then very interesting. Its an adventure to the deep, you unlock the secrets of the under world, with Sapphire and her older brother Connor.

I suggested it to my Friend and she liked them as well, we are now waiting for the fourth book to come out sometime this year. I would recommend this book for a few years younger then myself, but that doesn't mean people my age wont like it. I guess it depends on weather something like this interests you or not.

You need to have quite an imagination for these books because its all about the setting and everything around them. you need to be able to picture what is happening and where they are.

Its a wonderful book!

Museum

Museum

I cant say i was really looking forward to going to the museum but it ment a day off school which was good. On the bus ride i sat next to Cerise, we listened to our ipods because it was rather boring just sitting there.

When we finally arrived i had gotten pins and needles in my feet which made it hard to get off the bus. We got into our groups and entered the building.I was looking forward to looking at all the war things and finding out interesting facts, but we were handed work sheets which were jam packed with questions. I was to busy trying to answer all the questions that i didn't get to have a proper look around, All you had to do was find what you were looking for then move on. it would have been better if we had had less questions, or more time.That way we could have answered the questions and looked around.

There were also pointless questions that had nothing to do with it like, "what was on the chocolate?, would you have eaten it?" It took five minutes just trying to find the chocolate, when there wasn't any. There was an emotional time for me when we saw the walls with all the people who died in the war form New Zealand. All those people had family and friends, never to return to again just because silly people couldn't sort out the differences between a simple conversation, no, they had to send millions of people out into a battle field where they would most likely be killed in the first minute. And it didn't just Finnish after a few weeks, they went on for years. The people in the army have been trained to kill other people, without a second thought. they can just go out there and kill Masses of people, and what has it solved? very little. People would fly over houses and drop bombs and things on to them, there were most likely people in those houses, families, CHILDREN, all Innocent. I think it is selfish of people to kill ourselves of, for POWER!, Money, land, right or wrong and just simple GREED! And what happened after world was one..? there was world war 2, is any of it necessary? I don't think it was.

We have been learning in Social Studies about the assassination of archduke Franz Ferdinand, on life, that was that reason for the deaths of so many more!

I get angry over these things because it could have easily been avoided. I know i wasnt around it those times and that things could have been different to now, Im just giving My opinion Of the whole thing.

Anyway back to the Museum Trip, well we spent about two hours in there had luch then hoped back on th bus to go back to school. We go back just as the bell for end of lunch sounded, i had science not that i felt like doing any work!

but i suvived went home and slept.

Home-Learning

Hello =]

So Home Learning this year is really hard, at the moment we have been getting SO much home learning its not funny. I have no time for anything else, i get home and its the first thing i have to do. It normally takes me all night, because we have four subjects and its meant to be 20 mins per night. But by the end of it its normally like 9 'o' clock.

It puts a lot of pressure on us because we also have to do revision and practise, also we have after school activities, and the teachers don't understand when you say you are busy, they think that we are just making up excuses. I have got lots of home learning to do so i must Fly!

HAPPY EASTER!

Around the Bays!

Around the Bays

Well On the 16th it was a big day for me, but the fun really started that’s Saturday. I woke up and started to plan my weekend, my friend was to stay at mine that night and then go to the race, but our plans changed. So we made a new plan that I would go to stay at her place that night, we would attend a party but be home by 9 ‘o’ clock, to sleep. When I arrived we meet up with some people and then headed to the school, where the show was, we entered at 7. There where heaps of people there, and not many of them we knew. But after we had found our group we settled in. It was Great fun, but soon it was time for us to leave. We got home and had something to eat, showered and went to sleep setting our alarms for 6:00 in the morning.
We awoke to the horrid sound of my alarm; we just lay there looking at one another, not wanting to get up. This was it, the big day. We slowly made our way to the kitchen, where we had our energy drinks, after we got dressed and put on our shoes. We left at 7:00, heading straight for town.
At 9:00 we lined up to start the race, there were so many people there is was crazy, at 9:30 it began. Me and My friend, started off at a run, but it was hard with so many people, you had to dodge your way through. About 10mins into it I had lost my friend in the rush of people, and so i was left to run by myself. The run was something like 8km long, I don’t really do much running, and at times it was challenging but at the end I felt so good, that I had accomplished something that wasn’t anything to really benefit me, but it was great to just get out there and do something.
I found my friend at the end and we headed off to get our sausage. We were really sore and our feet felt like they had been bounded but after a good lunch and a good play in the blow up bouncy castle, we were ready to move on and enjoy the rest of the day.
I had found the run very challenging, I walked and ran, and completed it. I felt Very pleased when i saw the finish like and ran all the way till the end. I would recommend people to do it even if you may not be the fittest person, its a nice challenge for yourself and makes you feel great!

A whole New world

I think that this is one of the best you tube clips. When I saw it the friest time i couldnt get over how amazing it was, i do alot of singing abd this is a wonderfull thing. I think its really geart, He may even be able to sing higher then . A Whole new World is just one of the many songs that he has, but I think this is the best because you get him singing normally and up high. i just can get over how great he is!

Friends

Friends!

I think that friends are the greatest things in the world(after family). They are fun to be with and there will be fights between you but everything should sort out. Its great to have friends when times are rough and it seems like no one else is there. Good friends are your ones that taker you for who you are and don't make you change because that's who they want you to be. Nothing can make you feel more horrible then being turned on by your friends, it can make you hate going to school and lead to things like depression. Friends can be the causes of your pain but they can also heal it. There isn't anything much better then when you are feeling down to go and just cry on a friends shoulder, or even just talk about the problems in your life. They can be the cause or solution of your anger, hate, vulerability, and sadness. Times do get hard but at the end of the tunnel it will all be fixed. Even if you are no longer friends, it must be a good thing, because they must not be able to handle that you are you and that you wont change that!

School

School!
This year at school I am taking Music (full year), drama(half year), and graphics (half year). I am wanting to change graphics to art because i have decided that art would interest me more. My favourite class at the moment is english, and social science. I have two very nice teachers. I also find the subjects very interesting.
Maths is my badist subject mostly because I cant do it. i try though as much as i can. Another thing im not i big fan of is Spelling, i always wanted to be a writer, but i was always to sceard because i would have so many spelling mistakes. as you can mostl likely tell from thins blog entry.
