My amazing speech!

In Rimu class we all created speeches because we were learning how to write persuasively. We performed them in front of the class and were judged by our peers and our teacher and we also self reflected. My speech was called 'We need to make peace, not war'. 

I chose this because I don't like seeing bad things like that happen. By watching me present my speech I know that I need to work on speaking louder and slow down while I am speaking. Do you think that we need to make peace, not war? Comment what you think in the comment section below! Hope you like my speech!

    

Canta Maths!

Canta Maths!

This term Rimu Class had to make a project for Canta Maths. Laura, Bella P, Bella N and I were in a group for the year 7 Team Competition Banner. We created a massive banner that says ‘Y.M.S Canta math 2016’. With our banner we had to make it really big and it had to be maths related, so we added math signs all over it.

Eventually we finished our banner and we realized that we made a massive mess outside. We got paint all over the concrete.

I thought it was difficult working with some of the people in my group because they messed around a lot. If I could do it again I think I would do something different and with different people.

Here is a picture of our gigantic banner:

We won!

We won!

This term Rimu class participated in the Digi Awards. The theme this year was 'Be The Change'. Laura, Hannah, Violet and I did a Digital Sandpit. We used Minecraft for our video; in our video all of us has one bit in the video. We all explain what we want the change in the world to be. My one was people paying it forward, I show people being kind to one another and 'paying it forward'.

After we entered the competition we got an email from the Digi Awards people and it said that we won a prize. So we were either 3rd, 2nd or 1st! We were all so excited on the night of the event. After a while of watching and clapping it was finally our turn. We waited 'till our school name got called out. Finally our name was called out and were FIRST! We were all so happy.

I learned how to record screens on my computer for the video, it was hard at the start but eventually I got the hang of it. If I could do it again, I would make it a lot less cheesy. But at least our really cheesy video came first! Here is the amazing video that we made! Hope you enjoy.

100WC TM3 WK 1

Sorry that this 100WC is late I forgot that I need to publish it, but here it is hope you like it! For the 100WC the prompt is:

• Where is this magical place?
• How did you get there?
• What are you doing there?
• Is a dangerous place or place for fun?

Beside the sea was me and my friends getting ready to surf, we were all excited to catch some big waves. I was swimming out to get to some bigger waves.

I was doing well I was getting dragged down. I couldn’t see anything, I could only see a massive hole. I was so deep that I could see a new world beneath my feet.

OW! I landed on my back. I got up and looked around, lots of strange looking things were staring at me. They were all talking to each other quietly, and that’s when the adventure begins.
