COLLEGE IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HELLO PEPS!!

For the past two weeks and a half I have been spending my days at the one and only St Patricks College (town). I decided to post this to tell all my yr 8 friends to be in the house Reedwood and to tell how good college is. On the first day I was so nervous. After about a weeks I started to make some friends because I have no one from St Bens people in my house, Redwood, anyway we have six periods in each day plus 40 mis of lunch and 20 mins of interval/mprnig tea, plus also half an hour of tutor time. So far we have had three athletic days including the Old Boys Cup against Silversteam, town won it by the way. Unfortunallty in my core class and my tutor group I have anyone I know except Paolo from 2014 in my tutor group. I was pretty pleased when I got put in Redwood (red) becuase my have most of the big Poloyensian boys in Redwood so I thought if I make friends with them I wont need to bother thinking about being bullied, not that I am. In a couple of weeks we have McEvedy which is a big athelectics competition angaist Wellingotn Col, Stream and Rongatia. Wse have a whole day of chanting and trying to put off the other colleges which I am pretty excited about. My favourite subject so far would have to be Business Stuides. I am in the Year Nine B team for cricket and I am also doing swimming for the school. At the moment we dont have much homework, but im sure we will get some more soon.

I am having such a great timme at St Pats at the moment and to all the boys in the intermediate school  think about having St Pats as one of your options for college's for 2017/2018. Ask to join Redwood if you are joining (which I reccomend)!!!!!

Bye!!!!!!!!

Moments of 2015!!!!!!

Hello!

Me trying to find gifs for posts

Two more weeks to the end of the year which mean that I will be leaving St Bens. I've been here for almost eight years and one of my favorite memories  has been Year Eight Camp! This weeks task is to write about one of your favorite memories from this year and also to predict where the Big Day Out will be.

Camp

Group 3

Camp was a whole week of fun activities including Caving, High Ropes, Overnight stays, Canoeing, Bridge Jumping and many more activities! Like I said this was my favorite moment of 2015. I had soooooooooooooooooo much fun and I bet all the rest of the year eights would agree with me. Year sevens if you enjoyed Year Six camp, OPC is about 1 million times better! One thing that I found really fun was that all of the boys were all in one cabin and all the girls were in about four different ones. I also really liked my group that I was with, I was with my two best Year Eight friends who are Ethan and Tyler.

Big Day Out

Just trying to remember some of the Big Day Outs

Ugh.... This year I have no clue is to where we are suppose to be going with nearly 300 kids. The Big Day Out is a day where the whole of the school goes on this trip to somewhere around Wellington. I have been on about seven or eight Big Day Outs in the past here are some of the ones that I have went on

• 2008:Cant remember
• 2009:  H20 Extreme
• 2010:Cant remember
• 2011: Wellington Zoo
• 2012: Some bird sanctuary 
• 2013: Zelandia 
• 2014: Junglerama in town/ indoor sports

Like I said its pretty hard trying to find a place for 300 children to do stuff at once, which is why I don't think the teachers tell us about where we are going. We also have to think of some places that we could go to this year.

• Some bird place
• Zoo
• Te Papa
• Some inflatable place
• Indoor Sports
• Pool

There are not many options that we can choose from. Another task is to say your favorite Big Day Out which was......... last years one where we did sports!

Danke everyone for reading this weeks post!

Remember this....

Do not become clumsy

Goodbye!

Next Year!

Guten tag!

Just deal with it im back with another post!!!!!

Next year I will be going to St Patrick's college in Wellington. I am actually really excited about going next year. They have way cooler technology and have really good subjects. Ever since I went too the two open days last year, and this year it has been amazing how much cool stuff they have at the school. Just recently, I went to the testing for next year. After I finished my test I didn't know what to do so I said to Jarden

Me: What do we do if we have finished our test?

Jarden: I don't know.
and then the teacher who was watching us came up to me and said

Teacher: STOP TALKING! If you talk you will fail your test and I will not give you a second chance.
I just sat there stunned until I said,

Me: But I have already finished my test and I was just asking Jarden what to do if we had finished!

Max, Tom and Andrew just started to snigger and laugh. Anyway this weeks task is to write about how we are feeling about next year!

Like I said I am actually not that nervous about going to college but I know some people who are freaking out about it. The only thing that I am not looking forward too is the homework. Homework kills me!!!!! I don't normally take tasks home so I am not that used to it at the moment. There are many thing that I want to achieve next year including getting good grades, get into the cricket team, get into the swimming team and make new friends. The list could probably go on forever, but I don't have forever. Anyway, some thing that might be challenging is the homework, making new friends and possibly missing my year seven friends at St Ben's.

Thank You for reading this weeks post! I will really miss St Benedict's next year! Remember this....

Don't let your dreams be dreams so..

Goodbye!

Book Week!

Newt

Hi human, or any other creature you may be!

For the past few/one week it has been book week for our school.This means that the whole of the week is based about books. On Friday last week we had a large parade around the school and we did the golden ticket where if you find out the clues to the hidden, golden ticket. For book character day I dressed up as Newt for the Maze Runner. I also won a prize for the most realistic costume which I was not expecting. This weeks task is to write about three activities we took place in during the book week.

Kate De Goldi

On Wednesday last week Kate De Goldi came in and talked to us. She grew up in Christchurch and now lives in Wellington. She talked to us about different types of writing that she uses whilst she writes, also some of her books. Some of her books include, Sanctuary, Acb, and Billy.

Book Parade 

On Friday, like I said we did the book parade in the morning. The whole of the school went down to the courts and we walked around the courts showing off our costumes. Like I said, I won the prize of most realistic in the intermediate. It was really cool seeing all of the cool costumes all around the school.

Book Quiz 

The book quiz was after the parade. To do the book quiz you got split up into your year groups and you asked a series of  questions related to books. I wasn't in for the years seven and Eights quiz but Ngatoto did pretty well.

Danke everyone for reading this week!
