Attitude talk

Today Lex form attitude came to talk to us today about different attitudes, Who we are and fixed and Growth mindsets. He was super funny witch was my favourite part about him coming here we talked about what animal we were I came out as a otter. My favorite story he told us was when he was in Japan and they where having a bb gun war, with some friends in the bush,  and he saw boots so he went to go shoot them. It turned out be a police officers we didn't her the ending but it was pretty funny. I really enjoyed his time with us he was supper funny.

The new kid

As I walked into school with my bag on back and my hair pulled tightly back in to a long pony tail, I saw people standing in there friends group I walk past them with my head down staring at my shoes trying not to draw to much attention to my self. I find an empty bag hook and look around the class room soon the teacher meets with me and puts me with a buddy by the look of her face she just wanted to go back to her twister game. She took me over to her friends I sat there and watch them play I felt very left out and unwelcome. At lunch I used courage and went at sat with someone who was sitting by them self she showed interest in me we are now best friends.

Strengths/Weaknesses

Some things I find easy is running, swimming, describing things and netball so I would PE would be my biggest strength. Some things I find hard are maths, making up my mind,  shout put, discus and spelling. My one goal for this year would have to be to get better at spelling to improve that I will take more time when I am writing. My I care goal  would be courage to step out of comfort zone and try some new things. My learning power goal would have to be being me because I do find that I do most things with my friends and start doing my own thing.

What do parents need to know

I think that parents need to know that kids will want to play and just make a mess sometimes and that is something is very important to me because even at 12 I like to make a mess at times. Also another thing is when they start smiling because they have lied about something sometimes there just smiling because  your serious witch is not to good but sometimes you just got to believe them. 

I Care

What learner am I



From taking this test I can see that my top 2 learning smarts are Bodily-Kinesthetic & Interpersonal.  Interpersonal means that I can work well and share my ideas comfortably with out being shy I think that I have got more comfortable speaking now that I am year 8 although I did not think that it would have been one of my top 2. Bodily-kinesthetic means that I like to be moving and likes to get up and run around witch match's my personalty well.

Big Chief/Little Chief

Now that I am a year 8 student in Marama that means younger student will be looking up to me and following what I am doing. Witch means I need to be responsible for my work and my stuff and put effort in to everything I do and show what is wrong and right.  I do feel some pressure because I do not want to be a bad role model for them knowing that they will follow what I am doing. Although it dose feel good to show  them what s wrong and right.

My car



The car I have chosen is a Harley Davidson motor bike witch is not a car they just look super fun to ride. This is not my dream car but they are very well known motor bikes there has even been a movie made about them and I think it would definitely super fun and cool. The Harley Davidson street motor bike is averaged at $6,545 dollars.

Song


For my song I choose I don't know my name by Grace Vanderwaal it is a well known song but her voice is super good for a 14 year old. She became famous form wining Americas got talent in 2016 at only age 12. My favourite part of the song is the beat how it starts of soft but then goes louder she is a super talented girl. I do really like this song and all her others although it is not my favourite song but it is one of them.

My holidays

For most of the holidays, I was over at the beach which was super cool because we have never been over to the beach for that long. My favorite parts were going to our night swim spot, sitting on the sand , letting the waves wash over the top of you at high tide and staying up on the surf board . I also enjoyed watching the lifeguards take their boats and other toys out for a ride. It was really sad when we had to pack up and leave the beach because I just love the beach so much and can't wait till next year to go and even stay long and possible join the surf life-saving club.

Home time

Normally after school, I go to my mum's classroom and wait for her to be done with what she needs to do. When I walk in the front door I always pat my dog and play with her for a little while. Then I will do any work that I need to catch upon if I don't have any then I will normally watch some Netflix our YouTube because I get home from school quite late I don't have that much time at home until dinner. so I don't do too much interesting stuff when I get home but it is great to relax.

Beach Ed

Today the year 7s and 8s went over to Waihi Beach for the day and learned heaps of important information. Such as how to recognize a rip, how to get out of a rip safety. We did heaps of fun activities like relays, seaweed and we also got to look around the first aid room as well as the lifeguard lookout.

The water actives we did was run around the adults who were standing in shape of a U, dolphin dives, high fiving them and splashing them. We were even lucking enough to have a free swim. My favorite part was definitely the free swim. But I would of like to go out deeper than our waits, so we could of done more things. The life guards where super nice and made you feel welcome.  Overall it was a super fun day.


some key things to remember.

1. if you are not comfortable do not go in the water
2. swim with a buddy
3 be sun save
