Brooke Neal

Today, an athlete came to our class. Her name is Brooke Neal. She plays hockey for the New Zealand's womens team. First, she spoke about the olympic values and how they connected to her. She also added one of her own values. Purposeful. She said that we should find our purpose. Why are we doing what we're doing. The last thing she spoke about was finding our 'superpower.' She said her team had to show a level of confidence and thought of themselves as Superman. When she finished, we asked questions and took photos.

What I took from her speech was to never give up on my dreams. Even if they fail, you could always create another dream and work your way to reach that dream.

Basketball

Every Wednesday, we have basketball lessons with Yeron and his brother Malik. We learned how to dribble the ball, how to shoot the ball, how to stand and what we should do to be a good basketball player. We had to dribble the ball with our fingertips, we used B.E.E.F to guide us for shooting (Balance, Eyes on the target, Elbow and Follow through), we stood with knees bent and hands up, like a dinosaur stance. We had to dribble the ball and look forward because we would miss many opportunities if we kept our eyes down/on the ball. We played a mini-game and practised shooting. It was really fun.

Acrostic Poem: Upset

Walt: write an acrostic poem using alliteration

Uncle united with his family underground

People panicked progressively protruding their way inside

Storms scooped cars and created scars

Eager elders eez dropped

Tremendous tornadoes tackled fields

Personification Paragraph

Prototec Stage 8

This is my prototec Stage 8 results. I still need practise on this. I think what I find difficult is HCF and LCM. I know how to do it but I can't, like, find it out by just being given to numbers and know it straight off the bat. I hope to work hard and get closer to 100%

Reading - Harry Potter Series

This is the last book of the Harry Potter Series. It also took me 3 days to finish this book. Various amounts of emotions struck me hard. I cried when Fred Weasley (Ron's brother) died. All the books to the series were very, deeply described and I had lots of fun reading them. J.K.Rowling is now, officially my favorite author. I hope to, one day, be able to write stories like hers that will entertain every reader.
