Week 4 Term 1

In sewing I learnt the difference between a sem and a hem. I am nearly finished with my jersey, all I have to finish is the side sems, sleeves and then hem it. So far I am really proud of what I have done on it considering I am not a very good a sewing. We also started explanation writing. I am writing about the Northern lights. I am finding it difficult to not write a report about them. We edited our asttle writing and I think I did alright with it. We went to French and learnt about names of animals and also did some revision from last years lessons.

Outside of school I learnt more moves in my lyrical dance class. In ballet we sorted out everyone's flat shoes and now next week we will be getting pointe shoes!!

Week 3 Term 1

Hello! The first three weeks have gone past so fast.

Mr McCabe has announced the head students for 2017. Unfortunately, I was not one of them, but Bryleella, Daniel, Stageia and Emma all got the head student position. I didn't get any leadership role but it was worth a try. I forgot to say that in my last post that I auditioned for rock band. I had a call back, but didn't make the cut.

On a happier note, we had swimming sports which was really fun. We also started cutting out our jerseys in soft materials tech arts. I am making an all green camo jersey. My friends are very angry because it is plain and "ugly". I think it looks okay. I learnt to use shears. Shears are scissors that are designed to cut fabric. We did asttle writing. I think I did alright. I think the topic was quite difficult to right about. The topic was "Sport is more important than music".

I have really enjoyed making new friends with the years 7s.

Outside of school I have started doing lyrical along with one of my friends Emma. We learnt a couple of lyrical moves and will hopefully learn more next Monday. I've learnt more things in ballet, and am getting stronger feet for pointe shoes.

Welcome to my blog 2017!

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog. I hope you all had an amazing holiday.

It is so different being a year 8. There are so many more opportunities as a year and so much more responsibility. in the first to weeks I have already applied for head student, house captain and class councilor.

We haven't done much work in class. Again like last year we are writing a letter and doing a visual language task. For the letter this year we had to write a business to Mrs Crowe applying for class councilor or house captain. For our visual language task we are showing our teacher (Mrs Crowe) 5 things she needs to know about us or things that are important to us. My five things are, my family, my friends, netball, music and dance.

Happy Valentines day❣💘

Bye! I will try and post all the way through the year, this year.
