Taonga time is what we have here at our school every Friday.Taonga means treasure in Maori language and this time gives us students an opportunity to learn more about what teachers are most Passionate about.

I'm glad we have Taonga time because we can do things that we really enjoy and we are always in the mood to complete our task.Thats why we are always keen when it comes to Friday.

Senior Net ball sessions.

All senior classes have been going out for Netball sessions every week to help us with our skills. My class room 22 have our sessions on Thursdays in the afternoon with our instructor Emma from the Auckland Netball Association.

First we started off with dynamic stretches which were high knee’s, but kicks, and grape vine to warm up our body. Our second drill was learning all three ways of passing the ball like chest pass, ground pass and high pass. The last drill was to do with our stepping by calling ice cream while taking two steps before receiving the ball.

To end our session we finished it with a game of corner ball. The aim of the game was to get the ball to your team mate who was in the opposite corner surrounded by cones.the overall score 4/0 to my team.

Our session was done and we all enjoyed the drills and could not wait to come back next Thursday.

My term 1 reflection.

One of my subjects I was pleased with last term was my homework results.In my report I received excellence for work habit, behavior and academic progress.My family was also pleased with my results.

The subject I would like to most improve on is my behavior when it comes to writing.Every time it comes to writing I would always pull out a frown. I think if I accomplish this I will be a much better writer.

last term overall I thought I had a great start to the year.My highlights from last term was Receiving awards in assembly and have improved on a few subjects.What a great start to the year for me.

last term In room 22 we had to create a DLO on the values and these are my results.

superb sentence.

The muscular player was furiously tackling to retrieve the ball.

My absolute highlight of Camp TC was Rock up who are a group of people that have allot of equipment and awesome activities.My top three activities were the Dunker,Rock climbing, and Alligator alley which is a game that you use curtain equipment to start from one side and get to the other.

The thing I would change about camp to make it better would be for us to be able to sleep in till nine.Then begin our morning fitness.
