Stuff

Dear Georjia,
When you arrived at this school we were all so excited to have a new year 7 to welcome to compete with and to show the ways around our school. As soon as you started you made our school that whole lot better. We enjoyed having you represent our school in Oroua events. We enjoyed giving you new opportunity's to excel. Since being here we have watched you learn and improve in your singing. It was especially great having another keen musician. It has been a privilage having you at our school and it is such a shame to see you go, but we all know that whatever you do and wherever you go you will do very well.
It is so sad to see you go and we wish you the best of luck for your new school.

GRIP leadership day

We arrived at the GRIP leadership day which was at the Convention centre in Palmerston North.
The room was filled with about 250 other young leaders. The programme and format of the day seemed really well planned out. I couldn't wait to get started and learn new skills. When the presenter came out and started talking to us, one thing stuck in my mind the whole time that he had said at the beginning. " Everyone can be a leader" and it made me think that really ANYONE can be a leader as long has they have the determination to achieve for themselves and others. When we had the Loud noise section everyone was so excited. All the activities that we did were ones that helped us meet people from other schools and socialize. I found it very fun and easy to talk to others. We were all keen to meet new people and have a great time so it was easy to talk to others from different schools.
I learnt what the leadership meaning of Paper Scissors Rock is,
PAPER- Plan   SCISSORS- Take action    ROCK- stay strong.

Balloon, Festival, Sharply, Hairspray, Egg story using these words

Bert the balloon was floating around the festival. He peered in all the stalls when Suddenly an egg popped out of nowhere. Bert floated as fast as his helium would take him. Bert had a chubby blue face with skinny string legs. He carried on back his way and kept looking in the stalls. Bert felt a sudden jolt in his head. He felt static. His hair was spiking up. Bert was determined to fix this problem, so he went looking for hairspray.. He weaved his way through knives and cactus's and many sharp objects. He saw a glow at the end of the path. Bert sprayed the spray all over. It made his face all shiny and squeaky. Bert sharply flicked his hair and sassily walked home.
