Terrific T-shirt

Kia Ora, Welcome back to my blog. This year the theme for our school is choose Kind. At the start of the term we watched the movie Wonder. Wonder is a story written about a boy called Auggie. Auggie Poleman has a tough life, starting at his new school for the first time he has no friends. The moral of the movie is to always be kind because you don't know what people have been through. Following on with that our school have made some cards. If you are seen being kind or showing the school values you will be given a card out on the playground during morning tea or lunch. With that card you can go to the office and put it in the jar on the front desk reading: #Choosekind. At the assembly's on a Friday afternoon the leaders of the assembly will pull out one card. Previous to this all the students created a
T-shirt on paper. Miss Parish one of the teachers at our school is going to judge them and choose one design. The designs had to have something to do with being kind at St Francis. The card that the person pulled out will have a name on it, whoever that maybe will get one of the T-shirts. Here is my T-shirt.

Have you watched the movie Wonder? How do think you can be kind at your school?

Awesome Art

Aloha, welcome back to my blog. Over the two weeks of swimming we had a piece of art to complete. Our art contained a picture of us looking up or to the side. Why? We looked up to the side/up so that it looked like we were thinking about How to be great.We drew four lines coming from the top of our photo. In those four lines we chose four words that describe greatness or words that represent greatness in our everyday lives. The four words I chose that I try to live by in my daily life are Perseverance, Kindness, Grit and Ambitious. In the part of kindness I drew a house, explaining that I will try to be kind at home. In the Ambitious section I drew a target with a arrow going towards it. I chose to draw this to show me reaching for my goals. In the perseverance section I drew a netball. I decided to draw the netball to represent my perseverance in netball. For the last section I wrote grit, in this section I drew multiple things but some of them were things like: a computer for coding, also a netball and a netball hoop. I chose these things to draw because these are some of the things I enjoy to do and sometimes I can get frustrated when i can’t do it right, I wrote these under grit so that if I do get frustrated I can keep on believing and practising. Here is a picture of my art.

Duathalon

Bula, welcome back to my blog, on the 22nd of February we held a school duathalon. This was an optional event so if you wanted to be by yourself it was competitive, although if you chose to be in a team it was just for fun (not competitive) If you took place in the dualthon by yourself and you were chosen  you go onto represent our school in the zones duathalon. I competed as a team with one of my good friends Maia, she ran 2 and 1/2 laps of Walter park witch about 2.km. I biked 5 laps witch is about 5.km. Maia did a very good run, after she finished she look really hot, she tapped my hand and I ran to get my bike. After I done about 2 laps my legs were a bit sore and I desperately needed water. Unfortunately I didn't have a water stand on my bike so I had to get my friend to chuck me some as I rode past. In the girls we came about 2nd but over all around 6 or 7. Maia and I were very happy on how we did in the duathalon. Next year for my last year at St Francis I want to do the duathalon by myself, but as I have realised I need to do a lot of training!

Swimming lessons

Bonjour,welcome back to my blog. Last week and continuing this week we have been hoping on the bus and heading to QEII for swimming lessons/water safety. The first week and a half the coachs each us how we can improve in our swimming. They also teach us how we can stay safe swimming in rivers or beaches over the summer. On the last couple of days we do a pajama day to teach us that if we were on a boat in our pyjamas and some how we got into the water after the boat sinking or something like that, we could be safe. Then we do life jackets and things to help out if we were stranded in the middle of lots of water, like what we need to have on a boat to signal for help or how to keep warm. Also on one of the days we do some boat things. We get to go under the boat and fall of the edge of the boat. See you guys next time bye.

Swimming sports

Last Friday the 15 of February, year 5 to 8 competed in our school swimming sports. Unfortunately this year I could not compete as I had a perpetrated eardrum. Each student swam as well as they could. Each student that place 1st 2nd or 3rd go through to the Zones event which has lots of different school. From what I saw every did a great job and I hope every one was happy with how they went
