Hi! It has been a long time since I have written a blog post due to me being sick and nit having much involvement at school. Last week though, I was able to have a full week of school. In that one week we had a lot happen to us. There was WIMS Music Day and a Jump Jam workshop alongside our last session, in the cycle we were in, at Tech Arts, which for the year 8's was music.
For Music Day some schools from around the Waikato district came to Te Awamutu Intermediate and we all split into three different sections. Rock Band, choir and symphonic band. At the end of the day we performed for the school and adrenaline was running through our veins. I was in the symphonic band who quite a few times accompanied the choir. The rock band kind of merged in with the symphonic band but never mind that.
For the jump jam workshop we learnt a new routine and were given tips by Brett Fairweather who is the face behind jump jam (kids aerobics). Telling us to make big moves with sharpness and energy and to also insure our posture is perfect. Primary schools and three schools including Te Awamutu Intermediate participated in this event which was really fun.
Last week I was really stressing out about Science fair as I hadn't gotten on to representing my work. In the end after all that hard work I finally finished it and I am now satisfied with the end product I have come up with.
All in all last week was quite full on and this week on Wednesday I will be heading up to Belmont for the sports exchange. I can't wait to evaluate my time there next week but for now I am signing off.

same old same old week
Well the same old things have happened this week. The only thing that is different about this week is that we have Friday off this week and Monday off school next week. I already have in mind what I would like to do during my four days off but back to the subject at hand.
For tech arts we explored the garage band app and the year 8's made a song about blues. It was very funny when we got to listen to each others' as the problems or scenarios people made up and how they portrayed their story was hysteric. Arden and I made a song about waking up in the morning and getting a bruised a forehead.
For Monday and Tuesday Mrs Crowe was at a course so we had to have a substitute teacher who was our principal Mr McCabe. He informed our class about the problems that majority of our class were unaware of such as fish wastage, whaling and we also got a snippet of the places he has gone to.
This week overall was good. I was able to stay on top of my work and complete tasks on time. I am really proud of my effort towards those pieces of work and I feel as if my determination and confidence towards my work is increasing gradually. But I must take little steps at a time. Well it is time for me to sign off but until next time goodbye.
