Have you had a extravagant day?

I miss your run

It was really quite fun

We wish you had stayed

Promote and crusade

And come back today

So we can have a day

We would even pay!

Hope you still remember 

You know, your favourites

You where here in September 

Now it's virtually  November  

My poem is not betwixt

Now it's basically the end

That was a bend

We all miss you by the way Miss Journee!

Meaning of betwixt: neither one nor the other (side)

Walt: write a quatrain

Going To Auckland For Coldplay Concert

Hmmm... yes I remember... going to the ColdPlay concert in Auckland with my brother and dad!

A couple months ago I went on a trip to Auckland for a concert by ColdPlay. The plane trip was like any ordinary trip but this time the excitement was up ✈️! We got to Auckland with heaps of time to spare so we went to look round and unpack our  stuff in our hotel. The time finally came! Dad was paranoid that we wouldn't get a park so we went four hours earlier! Ehhh, four hours of waiting ( at least we got to stand at the front row!) four hours pass and Coldplay have had some technical difficulties so another hour later... yesss it's started! It was an AMAZING concert! Full of cool lights and amazing songs! I would love to go again!!!

Plastics

On Monday the 28th of August the year sevens went to plastics to learn more about plastic and what it can do. At plastics we made wind spinners. First we picked our plastic and started smoothing the rugged edges. This included sanding and polishing. Then I drilled a hole in it so it could be hung up. The next step was optional, it was using coloured highlighters to decorate our splendid,spinning,spectacular masterpieces! I coloured my wind spinner many beautiful colours! Then it was time to cook the plastic. When it was done cooking it was all stretchy, so we twisted it in a spiral shape! It was really fun and it makes our homes a lot more beautiful!

Friday Winter Sport Uniform

We absolutely must be able to wear our  winter sport uniform out of school for many important reasons. I think you will agree after reading my statements!

We need to be able to wear out sports uniform out of school on Friday! It is so illogical that we have to wear our uniform out of school because our sports uniform shows that we are NBC students, not just any other Catholic school. With our sport uniform we are representing our school!

Whilst we are getting changed, we miss out on learning as well. It takes us on average ten minutes, that is ten minutes of valuable learning time! In ten minutes we could learn a new math strategy or have three episodes of learning Korean, if that is not valuable I don't know what is?

Getting in and out of uniform is time wasting. Why do we have to get changed  out of our sport uniform just so we can get home and get transfer into other clothes again? It is really annoying having to rush. Since we are in a rush we forget stuff like out sport uniform or shoes and have angry parents when we get home! 

To conclude we absolutely have to alter this ridiculous rule. It is such a  time wasting,  pointless endeavour. It needs to stop now and along with the rest of the senior school, I am sure you will agree! 

Change the rule!

Make our classroom great again!

Dear classmates,
You should vote for me as class captain. I will be a great class captain if you give me chance and vote Laura for class captain.

The first reason you should vote for me, is that I include myself in many school activities and that helps me to be organised. Such as house captain for example. From that I think I'm a organised person. Since im organised I will have time to help around the class.

Second reason is that we as a classroom (if I was class captain) would be strong and including. By working on encouraging each other more often. And treating everyone with respect. I will make sure that happens! I personally think that it is one of the most important things because if everyone is respected it's a fun and happy learning environment.

My last reason why you should vote for me is that I get things done! On time! So with that skill I will always have time to help! For example I can help people who need their work checked!

To conclude, you should vote for me if you would like a captain that has time on there hands! We are in here together for the rest of the year! Let's make the most of it!

Vote Laura for class captain!

We all have to leave! Mother's big, bright, oily eyes are like a flowing river of silent tears! I have to be strong, I'm on the verge of tears but I need to stay strong for my family!

(I don't know) 7/2 Saturday 2:27am 2015:
We have been walking for days! On this sandy, dusty path and I am getting a rush where my hijab is rubbing on my soft, bay, fragil forhead. I can't live much longer, I'm suffering and my family are to.

(In their middle of nowhere) 8/2 Sunday 6:09 am 2015:
Mohammed's lips look like a sandy desert and his petite, boney, dirty face looks like a sandstorm in that desert. I think he's the one that's suffering the most.

(By seaside) 9/2 Monday 4:16am 2015:
Father has been using a compass to find the sea, to get onto a boat! We have made it! I'v got to go, were boarding our boat!

(On sea) 10/2 Tuesday 12:34am 2015:
Mothers eyes are none stop! I'v been trying and trying to calm her down, I give up!

(On sea) 11/2 Wednesday 6:04pm 2015:
I'm sea sick in two ways! First I'm feeling sick, second I'm sick of the sea!

(Some country) 12/2 Thursday 5:23am 2015:
We've rocked up to a sand dune! We are saved! Our lives are not in danger! We are now on our way to a refugee camp!

(On our way to New Zealand) 13/2 Friday 1:54pm 2015;
We are being "shipped" to New Zealand! So exciting!

(New Zealand) 16/2 Monday 5:04pm 2015:
We've made it safe 'n sound to New Zealand and have seen many kids my age! I'm going to make a heaps of friends!

(New Zealand) 17/2 Tuesday 12:35pm 2015:
I wish what I said last was true! Kids of New Zealand come up to the fence of the refugee camp and laugh! I wish they knew I was just like them!

(New Zealand) 18/2 Wednesday 3:09pm 2015:
I'v made a friend (Sarah) she always waits by the fence for me in the morning, she's a lovely person!

(New Zealand) 19/2 Thursday 6:43pm 2015:
I wish all kids knew what it is like, and they could understand me, but then I think no one should go through what I went through!

Wanted Poster

Saskia!

Hi it's me Laura, welcome to the most wanted. Saskia is now wanted for being rude  to cartoon characters. Here's a short but bad list of her most recent: Spongy Spongebob, Salty Squidward, Dora and Coraline! She quickly and swiftly escaped by triggering a laughing gas canaster and jet packing away. She has running, dusky, dung hair and a short nose like a button!  Deep, soft, amber eyes like a long cave and usually wears ragged, charcoal, ripped jeans that look like they have been pulled out of an old mine. She has a hobby of reading, and has a snowy, super, silly sidekick snowman. If you see her please call now! Thank you!

Welcome

Welcome to my very own blog for learning. I look forward to sharing my learning with teachers, my school, my family and friends anywhere.
