Times going fast

Well the clock is ticking down until Term 1 is over. So much progress has been made over the past couple of weeks. I have exceeded way out of my comfort zone with a few bumps along the way. I have definitely been put under the element but I have found it very motivating.
In maths I have had to definitely revise on my integers knowledge as I am so lost this year. My mind has been so active I have forgotten everything I knew on integers. I remember some stuff about it but not as much as I did.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Makuhari students. The Kapahaka group taught them how to dab, whip, nae nae and hit the quan which are very "in" dance moves of our generation. It is really amusing and very cool how the Makuhari students fit right in with our school which actually makes it a bit harder to see them go. It just makes you treasure the time you had with them.
This week, at Kapahaka, we had so much fun. The Makuhari students had joined us so we taught them a classic song you learn called "this is what you have to do" which teaches you the basics to Kapahaka.
This upcoming week I am going to strive to be the best role model I can be and try be a bit more organized than I was last week.

Reflection on my week

This week has been a very busy, emotional, happy and motivational week I have had yet. We had found out who are the new Head Students were and we welcomed the Makuhari students to our school. I was so nervous this week because I had to do the Karanga for Makuhari.

 All emotions came to me on Thursday when I found out I was one of the head students for 2016.  It definitely was a humbling experience for me. I really have to put my A into gear and manage myself this year. No more just saying it I actually have to do it. 

Other than these two events nothing else was really big or major. I can't really remember what I had learnt unfortunately. I think I was mainly focused on head student this week. This upcoming I think I will be much more relieved and really focused in my learning. Next time I write a blog post I will have more to say hopefully. 

Swimming sports

Last week I was absent for most of the week due to getting sick. I was able to attend two days of school and in those two days a lot of things happened but the biggest thing to happen was inter house swimming. The results in the end for my house were so joyous for me as house captain to know, that for now, our house, Waipa, came first for swimming. I can't get to excited as there might be a change in points and places. We all participated in swimming but not the championship heats. There were other heats where the school could participate. I did not come any places in any of the races but I am happy that I participated. I was very proud of one of my friends who came first in nearly all her heats. I can't say much about the day but I can say I nearly lost my voice due to chanting really loud.
