My Timetable For Term 3

This is my timetable for this term 3. We have these because we are learning to mange our own time. Planning our day is enjoyable. Enjoy.

100WC

This is my 100 word challange. Which mean that they give you and image or a sentence and write a story about it. It has to be exactly 100 words.

Alcohol - Binge Drinking - Why Is It A Problem?

I wrote a persuasive speech in class, entitled 'Alcohol - The Killer'. I chose this topic because binge drinking is a big problem in New Zealand and in several countries around the world. I made it through to the Ellesmere Cluster Speech Competition and did well. Then we had a school speech competition and I won the Year 8 category! Hopefully you watch this and think about the impact it has. Enjoy!

My Digiaward

This is our video we made for the DigiAward. The DigiAwards are a competition that is for Years 1-8 and you can enter in all sorts of categories. We chose movie making and had to make it about an everyday hero. It took us awhile  to choose our hero but then we chose the recycling bin because it helps and doesn't go into the landfill. We found at the start the storyline was hard to construct. If I did it again I would choose a different hero. I hope you enjoy watching.

Skiing at Mt Hutt

On Friday the 28th of August Yaldhurst School went up the mountain to Mt Hutt. We had to meet at school at 7am!

The bus left at precisely 7:15; about 2 hours later halfway up the mountain the bus broke down. I had to go with my friend Josh in his car the rest of the way. The others got another bus up. 

When we were finally all up at Mt Hutt we got our gear on and got our skiis. So then we had a one and half hour lessons with the Mt Hutt instructors. After that we could ski by ourselves or with friends till 4 o'clock.

So at 4 o'clock we all met up and handed the gear in and got on bus #2 and went home. All up it was a great day. I found Summit Six challenging because it was icy and steep. The funniest thing that happened was Josh going down a hill, turned too hard and smashed into the snow and he also lost a ski!
