At the start of the year I was scared to move into a new class with new people and new responsibilities, but that has changed. Let’s look and see why!
Term 1.
When the end of 2022 was near I started to feel anxious and uncomfortable about moving into a new class, but nevertheless it happened anyway. At the start of term 1 we got ready for learning
Like getting into math groups, literacy etc. I also made a lot of good friends as soon as I joined the classroom! We learned about our school goal this year, kaitiakitanga and taking care of the school, and started to go to technology every Thursday ( Robotics ) .
Term 2.
We started the term with the same stuff as term 1. We started getting back into literacy and math groups ( Which I was doing ok in ) . We switched technology groups to wood works and started to make box’s. We did financial literacy and hero work and I started choir with my
friends. We started to do winter sports. I chose to do football for a change and I really enjoyed it.
Term 3.
We started term 3 where we left off from term 2. All of us went straight back into learning, I was kind of bad in literacy but doing really well in math. In August we went on a ski trip to Mt Hutt. I was in the beginner group but overall it was really fun. Winter sports was starting to end but we had the option to sign up for koru games, basically like winter sports, but where you score and try to win a competition, are football team didn’t win but we all had a good time, In the middle of term 3 we started inquiry with Talei and made non chemicals cleaning products I made a spray and wipe with my best friend Emma L named Gemma & Co. we at the end of the team I started to host football for C&C with Mason D, Izak and Rocky, I made some really good friends and I was in a good place.
Term 4.
This term we have started to slow down on a lot of things, there weren’t really any sports activities, but we did do a big choir performance and we went to camp at Camp Kakariki.
As we are finishing things up, I am getting sad and happy, all my year 8 friends will be leaving for high school, but overall I’m happy that this year is almost over.
My next year’s goal is to always get my work done ( Since that’s something I have struggled with ) . Being nice to everyone. ( Even if those people aren’t nice to me ) .
But most importantly I’m thankful for all of the staff and teachers that have helped me and the rest of the class. 🙂
