Term 3 Rimu Yr 8 Timetable!

Hey guys. Through the past term, we have been making a timetable to plan our week ahead of time. Green coloured squares mean I achieved good work standards, orange means almost, and red means bad work standard. Feel free to have a look at all my weeks and comment about if you think this is a good thing.

100WC Week 1!

Week 1 100WC Is Here!

Hey guys, if you've been around for a while, you might remember the 100 Word Challenge. Is is now back up running, bigger and better than ever! We had to write based on a prompt, which was a picture of a French statue. This is my week one post, enjoy reading!

Camera!! What are your thoughts?

Hey guys, so, last Monday I went into Harvey Norman and bought a Canon Powershot SX520 HS and I have been trying it out over the past couple of weeks. So far, it has been one of my BEST buy, with the quality being pretty much perfect. The only downside is video is only 30fps and it would be nice at 60fps. I think 60fps is wanted by any people just staring out, but it is best to go for something not as hardcore so you do get used to making videos. If you would like to see me unboxing the camera, the video down below is for you. Sorry about the time length, my editing software crashed and I couldn't edit it down. (Stupid I-movie.)
I will have some pictures up for you to look at on Monday. For now, enjoy the video.

 PEACE!

Teenagers Are Lazy: My Speech!

https://youtu.be/FcWUzQT2qzI

Hey guys, we just had our speech competition in our class. I chose, well you read the title of the post, right? 

I chose this topic because I thought it would be a bit different then the normal ones, such as Smoking, Fitness, Screens. It was important for me because I am pretty much a teenager. The impact it might have on people is, hopefully they realise why their teenager/s sleep in later.
Enjoy!!

Skiing W/ School @ Mt. Hutt!

I am 3rd from the right in the gray, next to Logan (white) and Chloe (blue and yellow).

Hey guys, Asher here. Today my post is about, Skiing! Our Yrs 4-8 went to Mt. Hutt on the 28th of August.
We had a blast! Up the Quad, down the Terrain Park, Highway 72, Summit Six and for the beginners it was just the Magic Carpet. Anyway, today I am focusing on one of the funniest things that happened that day. But, before that I will tell you about the bus breaking down. Yeah.

We were halfway up the mountain when the bus started to stop, in the middle of a gear change. We grinded to a halt, and the bus driver tried to get her up and running again, with no luck. And, to add to the excitement, every time the bus started then stopped we rolled back a bit. The Year 4s were all frightened, and so were people from our class. Teachers, the bus driver and even Cayde are on their phones to various people. Josh (wat up man?) rocks up in his car, and Blake (How you bro?) and his Dad go with him up the mountain. Chloe (You well? Say hi to Veya for  me) also pulls up with Emily (Hey Immy, how's life? ;-) ) who then drive up with Me (woohoo!) and Logan, (Bro!). Cashmere School turns up, and give the rest of Yaldhurst a lift. But, enough of the bus. Time for the good stuff.

So, on the mountain, I have had my lesson, and I am going down Highway 72 again with Chloe, Emily, Jack, Blake and me. We are at the top and get going. Chloe has already fallen over, so we help her up. We set off again, and come to the first turn where we group up again. Apart from Emily, who is going fast, and can't stop. She then slams face first onto the icewall preventing you from going over the edge. It was Comedy cold, I mean Gold! We were laughing so hard, even Emily herself. We then got going, over the jumps, and into the tunnel, over the jump at the end of the tunnel, with me getting air of at least a metre. We then have a chuckle as Chloe falls over again. Fail. But, the definite highlight of that run was Emily's crash. Way to go, Immy! Jack had an EPIC fail. It involved a faceplant, a tunnel and the entertainment of us, but I'm running out of time today.  Skiing was definitely worth the perils and if you get the chance, do it! I LOVE skiing, and Mt. Hutt is one of the best places to ski. PEACE!

NZSL Games and Plays!

Hey guys, for our language we are doing New Zealand Sign Language, as we have a profoundly deaf student in our class. As a part of our learning, we sometimes have to do plays, skits or games and here are some of them. Enjoy!

Cinderella play with Emily, Jorja, Morgan, Jesse and I!

Heads and Grab - the new game!

More Heads and Grab!

                                                 

I'm In: High School Letters Are Back!

Hey guys, so I arrived back home from School today and checked the mail, only to find the Burnside and Riccarton High School's application replies in the mailbox! I open them inside, and I have been accepted to both of them! Riccarton is our 1st choice, so we have to turn down Burnside's. Sorry Burnside. But, Hooray! This is what we wanted.

 Have you ever had a letter arrive that is really important to you? Leave a comment!
