100 seconds time tables

This is my time table score I got in 100 seconds, all the questions were easy but it was very time consuming and pressuring because we only had 100 seconds to complete it, but now  I know that I can aim for higher scores now.

Hamilton Holidays

 A Holiday in Hamilton
This holiday I left school two days early to go down to Hamilton, we spent about six hours travelling down there. I slept most of the time with my music playing through my headphones. I woke up and we were in Whangarei going to Burger King. After we got some food  there we were back on track to pass through Auckland. Once we got there about two hours later the traffic wasn't as packed as we thought it would be, so passing through Auckland was really easy. After we went through I fell back asleep. When I woke up we were pulling into a shop but I realised we were in Te Aroha near Hamilton and I remembered my aunty owned a Foursquare there, so when I got up I saw her husband Adam and he asked me if I wanted anything. So I grabbed an Up and Go and he payed for it. After that I went into the office where my aunty was working while my baby cousin was asleep, my Nan was already in there, 20 minutes passed and my aunty asked my Nan to take the baby and the other truck back to her house, I stayed back with my aunty and then we went to the house about an hour later, it was a bit boring before we left so I went for a walk over to the other shops,When I came back my aunty was getting ready to go home expect Adam because he stays until the shop closes.
 We went home on the truck and when we got there all the beds were set up and the baby was crying, I picked her up and she stopped crying and went back to sleep, my Nan took her off me and laid her in her mothers bed, an hour later the other three kids had gotten home, so I had three younger kids hanging around me, the one closest age wise was Cohen he was 10 and the rest were 8 and 5, mind the baby was 10 months, after we all settled down we all had dinner and headed to sleep.

I woke up to the sound of crying 6 o’clock in the morning, I was annoyed but I got up and went and got her and stayed with her for an hour, I wasn't happy but she went back to sleep, I had to get up and have a shower so after I did we went into town for the day while the kids were at school, we didn’t do much that day nor the next day but after that it was finally the holidays for the rest of the kids and they were happy, around 10 o’clock at night my Nan told me we were going to Hamilton, all the babysitting I did paid off I got 100 dollars and 50 from my aunty, since Adam went on a hunting trip down south that week we had more space.

It took about 50 minutes to get to Hamilton and when we were there we took a while to find the base. Once we got there we went straight to the sporting shops, I spent about 1 hour in 8 different shops and bought about two things from each shop. I bought a bunch of t-shirts and hoodies. After I did clothes shopping we went and got something to eat at the food court, I got Nachos and Bubble Tea and it was delicious, after that we went across the road and got Fro yo with popping boba in it, I was full but I still went and got Churros I loved them, I really thought I got diabetes.

About 7 hours later we headed back to Te aroha, we stayed there for about 3 more days and then went back home the next day at 7:00 in the morning, the rest of the holidays I spent sleeping in my rooms sleeping or watching Netflix.

Spoken word was where we watched life changing videos and we had to learn about the poetry side of it, the video I used was Ngā Hinepūkōrero It was a video of three Maori girls talking about the past and how their ancestors were beaten for speaking their native languages it was very inspiring and I am very grateful for being here today.

My Holiday

                  My Holiday

What did I do the first week I was with kata and we went to maccas in the morning and had breakfast and then we walked to warehouse and bought some snacks after that we walked back up to her house and chilled in her bedroom, her mum came back ten minutes later so we came into the lounge and chilled in there for a bit, after awhile we got hungry so we made some linguine and ate it after that we were very full a couple hours later I went home, past the few days me calista, kata ,koby and sometimes riley and millin would text in a group chat or call we did that for a couple and then I went down around auckland for hunting, we stayed out at a batch out in the bush, that night we went eel baiting out in the river we got back around 1 in the morning and the dumb thing was we had to be up at 7 to get ready for hunting the next day. The next morning I got up got dressed went and put the dogs on the truck and grabbed the motorbike and headed out with a couple other quads  that my cousins were on, my uncles and the dogs were on the truck, we stopped by the river in the bush and waited for my uncles that had the truck and the dogs I could hear the dogs barking from 10 meters away from us, as we were waiting for them to come my cousins said to take the quads so we did, they went first apparently its was supposed to be shallow but it wasn't really so when I went through the bike stopped and it was in the middle of the river, we grabbed the other quads and pulled the bike out that took like 15 minutes to do, anyways after that we drove the quads more into the bush about 10-15 minutes we stopped and started to hunt, I felt pretty  excited because I haven't gone hunting in a while but when we got out there I got three possums and one boar nothing special but it was pretty cool. When we came back we went out into the paddock and we saw a massive bull, my cousin went up to it and slapped it on the bottom it ran away so we went back and grabbed the quads and had a good time. 

Cyber smart

Somthing I enjoy  about cyber smart is making movies with my friends We didn't exactly Finish the movie but it was pretty cool learning and creating work to present later on, Another thing I liked was making animations about cyber Marat safety we would usually do it in groups so we had a certain amount of work to do which was very easy for me.
So thing new I want to work on is making my videos/movies a better quality like having different angles or sound effects another thing I want to work on is handing my thing on in time.

End of term reflection

What was the highlight of your term?
My highlight of the term was sports, each lunch me my friends and a couple of the boys play held we each get a turn and are teams are not stacked at all the teams are very equal and its fun to play, we also do sports as a class, this term miss cook gave us a task to run our own games it was very fun and the games were very interesting, which ever team won got Whaea Danni dollars which I thought was pretty cool.

What was your biggest challenge?
I think my biggest challenge was maths not one part but every single part in maths I found it very hard to do algebra and honestly I really didn't like it, I struggled alot with my maths work this term but its good because now I have a goal to archive for next term and thats what I am planning on doing I want to learn how to do algebra so that I dont struggle on it anymore.

What was a great success?
I think a great success for me personally was my speech, at the start of the term while we were still in lock down we got asked to do speeches for our class's, we didn't have an exact topic it just had to be on something thats happening right now in the world, my topic was about why pit bulls are a good pet to have, I think i presented my paragraphs really well and I was very proud even if I dont like public speaking I still enjoyed doing my speech. 

What is something I have learned?
Something I have learned this term is to be respectful to others and learning to cooperate properly not getting growled for mocking people or teasing but that is another goal for next term is to work on my language around others and not being rude I got house captain for a reason and now its my time to step up and be the leader im supposed to be. 

What are you looking forward to most this holidays?
I am looking forward to sleeping in more and also hanging out with my family, so of my family members from the south are coming up to spend the holidays with us and I am very excited because I dont really get to see my cousins anymore and im ready to jam fortnite with my cousins and clap them in 1v1's so im pretty hyped for holidays this term.

My Matariki goals

This is my Matariki Goal setting, I did my goals around Math Literacy Re and Social Goals. On Wednesday we had a massive Matariki breakfast where we shared food and did our goals, we had bacon eggs sausages and more, me and a couple of my friends shared each others goals it was very interesting

My Daddy is a soldier 

My Daddy is a Soldier

My daddy is a soldier

he’s often gone away
to some far off country
where he has to stay.
I really miss my daddy
and I’m not sure what he does
except he helps other people
who need him very much.
At night when I say my prayers
I ask to keep daddy safe
so that he can come home to us
and sit in his favourite place.
Some nights I can hear mommy cry
when she thinks I’m asleep
I know she misses daddy
and her sadness hurts real deep.
I know that a day may come
when daddy won’t come home
and it scares me even thinking
that we will be alone.
My daddy is a soldier
he’s often gone away
And I am so very proud of him
each and every day.
Come home to us daddy
When your job is done
I know that those people needed you
But they aren’t the only ones.Author: Maria Sutherland
