lakes high visit

On   September  the year 8 from mokoia went to lakes highs open day. It was about 9:30 when we starting walking up to lakes high and we got there at about 9:45. When we got there we had to get into our groups, i was in group b and after we got sorted our group leaders came over and introduced themselves.There names were Tobby and Rebecca. We did alot of rotations like art,cooking,gym,maths,science and languages. My favorites were cooking and gym. For cooking we made yummy chocolates and we dipped biscuits into chocolate and sprinkles. My other favorite was gym, because we played this game called pirates. How to play the game is you have to stay on the yellow line and theres like 5 taggers witch are called the pirates and you run around and like you can climb the ropes go through bars jump on the trampoline. We also did art and we made this cool drawing thing. After that we did science this was really cool but discussing at the same time. the teacher got out a dears eyeball and started cutting it up and looking at the different parts of the eyeball. Then we did maths and we had to answer questions and got puzzle pieces and made it into a puzzle. Our last thing was languages we just like played games and learned diffrent ways to say hello. Over all i had a great time.

Then it was year 8 A netball which was 34/8 to us and the year 7 A won 28/5 there was also girls soccer. Last there was boys soccer 2-1 and rugby 68/23 that was the only thing we lost but we all had a great time.

speeches

Last week our school had to do speeches. We all individually had to write our own speech, my speech was on animal cruelty. The time had to be approximately 3 to 5 minutes long, my speech ended up being 3:05 which was lucky. After everyone finishes doing there speech to the class the teacher goes away and picks 2 people out of our class. In the end Anais m and Finn got through.
