Speech!

Speech!

 For the past few weeks Rimu Class has been working on our speech. First I decided on my speech topic which is " If I Ruled The World". After that I wrote my speech which took about a week. Then I print my speech out and stick it on a piece cardboard. And practiced it over the weekend. Finally it was time to present my speech, so here's a video of me presenting my speech. 

P.S turned the volume up!

I also represented the year 8 from my school to the Speech competition last Monday at Tai Tapu School. Before I stared I was SUPER SUPER nervous. And here's some picture of me at the speech competition.

On Wednesday the 24th of August  Bella, Gus, Jacob and I were in the year 8 team for Cantamaths. I am very happy that we got 75 points in 30 minutes. We answered 15 questions and passed about 3 or 4 and didn't have time to answer 1 or 2.I'm still really happy even though we didn't get a 100 points because we got the highest score that has ever been scored at my school.Thanks to Dave and Mr Mathews for teaching me and my team great skills so we could do so well.Also we did a project on Cantamaths, Nikita and I went as a group and we did a little poster. Here our some pictures.

My Term 3 Timetable

This is my timetable for term 3, I'm trying very hard to reach all my goals, especially for my reading. I've been reading 1 hour every night, doing 2-3 key into Evaluation every week, also doing 40 minutes of steps almost everyday!
After every session I try my hardest to remember that I have to colour code my session.
Red=I haven't tried that hard :(
Orange= okay:|
Green=I complete this lesson really well:)
It depends on our Reading & Writing group, so everyone's timetable is different!
I'm most excited for William Pike Challenge award which we are doing bush survival skills day, Cantamaths and Digi Awards.
