Attitude talk

 Today the year 7 & 8 girls and boys had a separated meeting about puberty. This lovely lady names Jannah came in to talk to the girls. She was very kind and tried her best to make us comfortable. She talked to us about a lot of things, but the thing that stood out for me was when she was talking about our self esteem. She was talking about how she thinks once we hit puberty our self confidence kind of goes down. She also talked about setting high standards and self value. As an example she pulled out a 5 dollar note and asked which one of us wanted it, of course we all put our hands up, but then she stopped and started saying mean words about the 5 dollar note and again asked who wanted it, and again we all put our hands up, finally she scrunched it up and for the last time asked which on of us wanted it, and again we all put our hands up. She then asked why we still wanted it and most of us said "well, because its 5 dollars", she then began to talk about how just because you said mean things to it and scrunched it up doesn't mean it lost its worth. I found that lesson, rather inspiring. Jannah is thinking of coming in on Tuesday next week which I am hoping she is. It was really fun hanging out with all the girls and it was also amazing that it was a safe place to share.   

Back To School

Last week on Monday, students got the chance to come back to school and have a sum-what normal last few weeks for the year. When I found out we were going back to school I was super exited to finally see my friends and start learning in person again. I feel like being back to school has really lifted not only my  spirits, but everyone else who came back. Seeing everyone was really nice and also talking about what was happening during lock down and knowing that I wasn't alone. I am really exited to finish off this year strong and leaving with my head held high since it is my last year here.

Two way probability tables

This task we got given is our first maths task to the term. In maths we learnt about the new way we are going to be learning. I think we are all looking forward to learning about probability for the next few weeks.  

Treasure Hunters #1

Today I got introduced to a new reading site which I am finding very fun and interesting. It is called Epic, and its where kids can read online books that they are interested in. I find it very amusing to do, and I am hoping I can start reading more in my free time. I have just today already done 34 minutes of reading this book called Treasure Hunters #1. There are other parts to this book so I am so exited to finish this one and hopefully finish them all very soon. The chapter I have read already from book 1 was so intriguing and kept me thinking the whole time I was reading it. I'm not going to talk about it until I finish the book so stay tuned for a lot more updates very soon.

My Lock-down

 This Term has been pretty crazy with everything going on in New Zealand and around the world. The start to this term was amazing with all of the fun sports we got to do like netball, basketball, and a bit of Rugby league. But then a little into the term we had out level 4 lock down which has lasted throughout the whole rest of the term. I was sad that I didn't get to socialize with anyone besides my bubble but also re leaved as school work at school is a bit more stressful then being at home since at home you get to work on your own time. Being at home helped me improve my other talents like baking and cooking for example. Most of the women on my dads side learned how to cook and bake at a very young age and have been trying to pass it down to me as I am the next generation. I am so grateful to have these skills because I know that I will need it to help me in the future. Another plus to this lock down is that it helped me get along with my family in my bubble and also extended family because we do video chats every Friday night just to check in with everyone. We even sometimes play games online such as Among us. Remember to stay home and stay safe. Also stay positive better days are on their ways.
