Physical Activity and the Outdoors
P7: Design your own activity

This year I have made it into the A team for Basketball and the AIMS team at Tauranga Intermediate School. The AIMS Games hasn't started yet but so far my team has won every game but has had three byes. One because of Queens Birthday one because the opposing team forfeited and another because theres and odd number in our grade (the A grade). Here is a table of results (my teams T.I.S Thunder and read across).We have only played two out of the possible five games so far because of the byes.

AIMS is a sporting international competition with all different types of sports. It has Hockey, Netball, Basketball and loads more. It's a really fun competition that takes place in term three. It's held every year and so far Tauranga Intermediate School has won it every single year and I think it's been going on for 8 years and if not more.

Homework Activities

Service in your school or community
S1: Improve your leadership skills, act as a class leader or school councilor for the whole year.

This year I have been chosen as one of  the Rimu House Leaders. To be chosen as one of the house leaders I had to make a speech and present it infront of the whole house at our House Hui. This year our house has three house leaders Jessica, Lachlan and I. There is normally only two House Leaders but the teachers couldn't decide between Lachlan and I.

As House Leader I must attend all the School Council meetings and camps (if possible). I also get a badge to prove that I am the House Leader. At the leadership camp my school (Tauranga Intermediate) was joined by Mount Intermediate, Otumoetai Intermediate and Head Boy and Deputy Head Boy at Tauranga Boys College. We learnt lots of different leadership skills like how to shake someones hand, how to present a speech and talk and how to work in a team. Most School Council meetings are on Wednesday at two o'clock but are occasionally postponed till later in the week.  

Computer Game I Have Played.

1 computer game I have played is called Little Inferno. Little Inferno is a game mainly for pyromaniacs but the best part about it is you get to burn the Terms & Conditions. It's not one of those games with scores or a time limit and it's actually got a story line. You get letters from people and lots of different combos you can get by burning stuff. The aim of the game is to basically burn all of your stuff to keep warm but there is a surprise ending. It is set inside a house and is made by Tomorrow Corporation. It may sound a bit boring but it's actually really addicting. The main character is you and your fire place and also your neighbor

My Mum & Dads work.

My Dad is an electrician. He sometimes goes overseas for his work to hes gone to Australia and the South Island so far. He gets his own car and phone and I'm pretty sure they pay for gas aswel. He normally goes overseas for two-three weeks.
My Mum works with all the disabled kids at an Intermediate age and sometimes at Highschool. She is just relieving for now but she is going to get a job 3 days a week soon. I know most of the people she looks after and I know she loves her job because she comes home happy to talk about her day everyday. But at her last job in Minnows she had a angry boss.

Production

On week 9 of this term (term 2) I will be staring in the Tauranga Intermediate School production. I have got the main part so does Liam and Matthew. The production is called Phil and Ed's Most Triumphant Tale and I am Phil. The production is about two boys who go back in time to save future of music forever. They need some new band members and collected some of the most famous electric guitarist, keyboardist and also have some accidental stop through time like visiting the Swan Lake and the first meeting of John Lennon and Paul Mccartney. It's a great production full of music and adventure and an epic band battle between the lip syncs and the real musicians. Whoever wins this decides the fate of music future FOREVER...

My Weekend

In the weekend I was on the computer for most of the first half of it but I also went to Fraser Cove. I was looking for some computer games but all of them were for windows except for Sims but I didn't want that one. So I just didn't buy anything there. Then we had to go grocery shopping but me and my brother hate grocery shopping. So mum said we could just go to Dominoes and buy a pizza and wait for her in there. It was really good because first of all I didn't have to go shopping and second I got a pizza and it was only $4.99.

Then on Sunday I wasn't aloud on the computer because I was on it to much. So I just ended up working on my War hammer I ended up finishing 2 of them and almost finishing 2 more. Then at 1:00 I had to go to production we ran through most of the scenes in both acts. I can basically do all of it without my script but I sometimes stuff up. Then when I came back home I basically worked on War hammer and watched TV.

Idioms

Like a chicken with it's head cut off.
It means to be in a frenzied matter and run around crazily.
Because when you chop of a chickens head it still runs around with no sense of where it's going for a little bit.
You may use this when someone is running around the house and has no care for where there going you could say.
Your like a chicken with it's head cut off

Someone Different

I have a different friend called John (different in a good way.) He does dancing and hes very good at it he has won loads of trophies and I mean heaps. I reckon hes one more than fifteen or even twenty. He does lots of different types of dancing I don't know them all though. He can also do the splits. He is also into gaming he plays Assassins Creed and lots of different active type games. He is always super hypo and can never sit still. He wants to go outside quite a lot and go down to the stream. But he normally wants to play his Wii U. He has a good sense of humour because he always wants to wear this horse head and do face swaps on his Ipod. He has really blond hair almost white.

Charging Laptops In Rimu House

If Rimu students charge there laptop at school it will waste electricity which means it will waste money.  If Rimu students just charge it at home it will save the school money. If there are lots of cords all over the place then people could trip over them and injure themselves or break something. If you bring your charger to school everyday along with your other everyday items it could increase the chance of back problems. If you just charge them at home then you wouldn't have to bring them to school. If you do that every night than you will get into the pattern of it and hopefully don't forget again. I think people shouldn't charge there laptops at school because it's just a waste of school money that could be used for other things.

My weekend

In the weekend I felt excited when I heard that I had a production rehearsal on Sunday. I felt annoyed that I had to wake up early to go there but rehearsals are really fun. I was there from 10:00 to 2:30 with an hour break in-between during that hour break I played this volleyball kind of game but you have to use a hackie sack. Since Liam and I are both leads we were in every single scene in act two plus we had our band rehearsal after that for a little bit. It sounded fine but Jess and Mrs Story told us to animate ourselves more. I felt a bit nervous doing that because there were about 8 people watching us and I didn't want anyone to laugh. Since I am the drummer in the band it's a bit hard to but Mrs Story said that all the boys were fine so that s good for Finlay Liam and I but Kayliegh and Emily had to animate themselves a bit more. I felt relieved that I didn't have to act it out anymore than I already was.

I wonder why

I wonder if there are more undiscovered planets we haven't found?

I wonder how scabs form?
When you get a cut and blood comes out cells in your body called platelets band together and create the scab. The scab protects the wound so it can't get infected or worse. It also stops more blood from coming out.

I wonder how the universe was created?

I wonder if there are any unknown life forms on different planets?

Visit to room 43

Room 43 is a class at Tauranga Intermediate School but it's no ordinary class. This class teaches all the special needs kids. The old class they were in burned down and they moved into a temporary class right outside mine. When they moved in my class and the class next to mine decided visit them. There is a really cool guy in there called Bobby and he showed us around. He said that we could ditch class and visit his whenever we want.

Graveyard Visit

Last week my class and I went to the 16th Avenue Cemetery. We went to the 16th Avenue Cemetery because of our statistics. For our statistics we had to find a question like what was the most common name in the 1900. The question my buddy and I came up with was if people lived longer in the modern  days then the olden days. There were lots of graves there and some were really flash and it was really sad to see a grave with an 8 year old in it. When we left the cemetery we washed our hands so we could cleanse ourselves from the spirit we get from the cemetery. Our whole class were respective to the graves but there was one person with some dogs there and she was playing fetch with them. Then one of her dogs decided to take a dump in there and pee on the grave.
