Camp Highlight

Some of my highlights from Camp Keswick were swimming and going to the Agrodome. At the agrodome, we got to see all the different kinds of sheep and we even got to watch one get shaved. There all kinds of sheep's like the Merino and Drysdale. Merino was the biggest sheep there and he stood right at the top. I really wanted to see how long it takes to shave a Merino but if we were to shave the Merino, it would take 3 years for it’s fluff to grow back.

Another highlight of mine was the Luge rides! At first, when I saw people speed down the track I was really scared but then when I tried it myself, It was Awesome! There are three different tracks to go down Scenic, Intermediate and Advanced. I went down the Scenic track because it was my first time going down and I was really scared that I was going to crash, but then I went speeding down that track and I was having so much fun.

Netbook Reflection 2013


Having my netbook has help me alot with my work. It has been much easier working on my netbook and getting on the net. I have found it much quicker to complete tasks and hand them into the teachers on time. It has helped my learning more than when we had paper and pencil. I think that my learning has increased alot and I have developed a load of skills around google docs. Having a school email is much easier because you can ask your teacher online instead of getting up and asking them. At school we have a tracking my success and I have taken advantage of the opportunity to check it out myself. I have learnt more about decimals, percentages and fractions. Watching those linked videos have developed my maths skills by a heap, now I know way more about decimals, percentages and fractions. It has also helped me learn my basic skills on a website called Xtramaths and Maths Whizz. Netbooks are much easier to work with.

Highlight of this year

This year has gone so fast and it only feels like last week was when we got into our classes. When I leave this school, what I’m really going to miss are all the teachers, my friends and all of the memories we made her. It has been really fun being in Mr Barks and Mrs Nua’s class, having Mr Barks as a maths teacher and having Mrs Nua as a reading teacher. Throughout this year, I have made alot more friends and we are really close.


One of my highlight for this year was hanging out with my friends. What I’m really gonna miss are my friends. Even though we have had our ups and downs, we are still all very close. He has been awesome this year hanging out with them and I hope we will still be very close next year.


Another one of my highlights this year was learning alot of things that I didn’t know about. Mr Barks has helped me learn more about maths. Maths is one of my favorite subjects in school and sometimes I struggle with some questions but, Mr Barks is always there to help. Mrs Nua has help me alot with reading and I would just like to thank her alot.

My very last highlight of this year is meeting and getting to know all of the teachers such as Mrs Nua, Mr Barks, Mrs Squires, Miss Tito, Miss King and Mrs Lagitupu. I am really going to miss them all, they were all very fun in their own times and it was awesome hanging out with them at camp. I am going to miss alot of things about this school when I head off to college and I would just like to thank everyone who has helped us get this far. Thank you.
