Week 4

This week I was sick for two days (Wednesday and Friday) and I really need to catch up on work now. At home, while I was sick I texted Rowan mostly but I also watched a lot of YouTube. My mum said that even though I was sick I still had to do jobs so I vacuumed, mum said that I did an amazing job. Then I got a fever because I didn't rest enough and I went to school on Thursday. In the weekend I went to a concert to listen to the Hamilton Gospal Choir and the Salvation army Band, it was really good but it finished at 9.30 and because I was with my dad (he lives in Auckland) I got home at 12.30, I was grumpy the next day.

Week 3

This week the band and choir students of Te Awamutu, Matamata and Cambridge Intermediate had a band camp at our school. It was on for two days. on the first day I went with Mr Stanbridge to the collage to get mattresses from the other schools to sleep on, they ended up getting very wet because the trailer was leaking and it was raining hard out. The other bands joined with ours and we started playing, I found it really fun to meet new people and play music together so well (there was even another Megan). At the end of the day the T.A.I students had to go home and I got a ride with my friend. We started again at 9.00 am the next day, we practiced Some Nights with the choir ( the band was way to loud). That night we had the concert and the drum line were sooooo good but the band and choir needed a little bit more practice to be as good.

In tech arts my class is doing music and so far I'm a beginner pro at guitar, I am also good at piano but I played that for about three years so that doesn't count. I think that some others in my class are really good too, like Rowan, Hayden, Xian and Caitlyn.

Week 2

This week I have handed in my first piece of writing for this term, it was about a tire swing I used to have. We had to write about a childhood memory (if you were wondering). My class has also started a reading task, we have to do a character description.

In band we had our last practice before the other schools come for the first band camp this year. I have to practice a lot of songs so I'm really glad that I'm not the only keyboard percussionist. My music book is completely full as well so I need to get a new one or find out if mum or my brother has one lying around.

Week 1

This week in science my class filtered salt water to make it fresh water and my groups water tasted burnt. One groups pipe melted but and they had to stop but the rest of us finished. Seeing the salt at the bottom of the flak was really cool because it kind of climbed up the side.

In band we're learning a lot of new songs for band camp. One of the songs is played with the choir so that means that I'm most likely to be singing while playing glockenspiel.

Week 11

On Wednesday room 3 and room 7 went to  Narrows Christian Camp. We were all in car groups, I was with Justice and Rowan. First we did air rifles and I think that I hit one target. The other activities, no specific order, where go carting, BMX, trolleys, archery and there was a water slide. My favorite activity was archery even though I'm really bad at it. Even though I hit two bulls eyes lots of people were better than me. I think that the reason I liked archery so much is because last time I did it the elastic rope burnt my arm and this time it didn't. I also liked the water slide a lot, it kind of looked like half a pipe leading down to a leaf filled muddy hole.

The Narrows staff got us to do two games as well, first we had to try and lift a bucket with a bottle in it out of the middle of a circle without going in, my group didn't finish it in time so we had to go on to the next one. The next one was a similar game we weren't aloud to touch the ground to a certain point and then then there was another area that we couldn't touch before we where safe. We had to be touching some blocks that we where given at all times until we got to the safe areas. After some trial and errors we finally came up with the idea of tying the block to our shoes with our shoe laces, I piggy backed a few people over and most of the others just hopped.

I was glad when we got back to Te Awamutu because I was so tired that I felt sick.
