Speeches

Last week, we had the class speech competition. It was really fun going up in front of everyone to say my speech. I really enjoyed it. I got through out of the year 7's to go and say my speech in front of the whole school! That was awesome! I came first out of the year 7's and tonight I will be saying my speech at the Lower Waipa speech competition which is where I will say my speech in front of year 7 girls from different schools and we will all be versing each other. If I come first out of the girls then I will go up on stage and go up against the year 7 boy. I know one girl who is also going to be up against me at Lower Waipa. My speech was on colour affecting taste. I also did my science fair on that as well. That is because our speech topic had to be about something we have learnt this year. You can see my science fair post on my blog too. I can't wait until tonight!

Market Day

On Friday 13th of September, our school had our market day. there was so many awesome things to buy! I was amazed at alot of the products. They were so cool! I had lots of money to spend and here are some of the things I got: 3 rice balloons, A stick man model, lots of food items (I ate them on the day) A photo album (for mum) and a secret book thing with a hole in the middle to hide stuff in. Overall it was a fun experience doing a society. I really enjoyed being newspaper editor.

On Friday, our class went to the snow! It was soooo fun! Dad and I took Graham, Amy and Mr Marquand in our car. When we got there, we got our skis and snowboards and had a practise in Happy Valley. At 12:00 Amy and I went up the mountain to the rock garden to have our lesson. Going down the rock garden was so fun. In our lesson we learn't how to stop and turn paralell. It wasn't easy! Our instuctor was very nice and she really helped us improve! We had a great time! One of the funny things was that when me and Amy were going down the rock garden dad came up behind us on his snoboard and sprayed us with snow. Then Mr Marquand tried to do the same but no snow sprayed and he almost took Amy out! Next time I think I will go up the mountain more. At 3:00 some of us bought sleds and we had heaps of races. It was so funny because Amy and Pixie tipped their sleds and Graham and Daniel went up the side of the track and did a jump. We went really fast and it was so funny. At one point Amy and Pixie went right over the other side at the end! Overall it was a AWESOME day and everyone had a great time. I also conquered my fear of getting off chair lifts! What was your favorite part? Comment what you think! -Taylor :)
