Week 6 Term 1

Bonjour everybody!
This week is the best week ever even know we have done so much maths, it was great!

 On Tuesday at tech arts I changed my design on my bag from "Dance is life, life is netball" to "Y?". I am thinking about giving my bag to Mai as a going away gift as she will be there the day that I finish it. I learnt how to sew a side seam on a bag and it is not very hard I thought it was going to be very difficult but it was so easy. We also had our boating safety course on Tuesday as well. We were put into 3 teams. We were the first group to go to the boat. We had to get into the boat without tipping so we had to keep the boat balanced by going one at a time, I was one of the last people on because I was scared I was going to tip the boat. another activity we did was how to rescue someone when you are on the boat and another person in the water we had to through a bag with rope inside for the other person to grab onto and we would have to pull the person in. The last activity was a group safety exercise. We were told about some different tools like a flare witch you use when you see a boat and you are stranded some where. Another was personal radio that contacted the states if you needed help. We had to form lines and swim together as group. Also we were told how to keep warm if in the water, cover your chest. On Wednesday Room 3 had Jump Jam it was really fun as always, but I learnt no new songs. Before that I had a French lesson, I learnt how to say " Hello, I am Emily, and you ". I also learnt how to spell my name in French and and the French alphabet.

On Thursday I was so excited about meeting my Japanese student for 2016! I have been waiting for a Japanese student for exactly four years. My brother Jamal hosted two when he was at Intermediate there names were Shogo and Yuki. My Japanese student's name is Mai she is funny, kind and enthusiastic towards New Zealand's culture. We also did school singing which was really fun because we sung my favourite song ''Sorry"! On Friday I had tech arts again except this time Mai was there and she enjoyed herself. There were many laughs at tech arts that day, but we still got heaps finished, yet still so much to go!  

Au revoir
