A Dance Routine💦😅😀

Today at precisely 11:55pm we, Room 12, went to our hip hop session with a tutor, Jess.

We first started off with a warm up followed by a game. When all that was finished we then had to get into our groups and practice our routines. After getting into our groups we all then separated apart. 

The group I was in had me, Izabella, Pupuke and Alexandra. When my group found out we were going to perform in front of the class we were shocked because it felt terrifying.

To me it felt standing in front of the whole class and dancing felt scary. While dancing I had butterflies in my stomach. I felt like I was the only one who wasn't being energetic but that was fine. 

After a long time of dancing I was very sweaty and tired.

Joseph Parker's Opponent Is Near 🥊🥊

The Baby-Sitters Club #10 Logan Likes Mary Anne

 I was chosen to receive a Duffy book because I had read in the holidays. 

 I had remembered an old saying and it was "Never judge a book by its cover." 

After thinking about that I read the blurb on the back of the book and it said, "It used to be that Mary Anne (character) had to wear her hair in braids and ask her dad before she did anything, but not anymore. Mary Anne has been growing up ... and the Baby-sitters Club members aren't the only ones who've noticed.

Logan Bruno (character) like Mary Anne! He has a dreamy southern accent, he's awfully cute --- and he wants  to join the Baby-sitters Club.

The Baby-sitters aren't sure Logan will make a good club club member and Mary Anne thinks she's  too shy for Logan. Life in the Baby-sitters Club has never been this 
complicated------ or this fun!"

 It sounded very interesting so I chose it.

Please remember this old saying when you choose a book.

New Zealand Takes Silver 🥈🏅

  (Women Cyclists) New Zealand's first silver medal went to the women who conquered  and represented our country in the cycling competition. Bryony Botha, Rushlee Buchanan, Kirstie James and Raquel Sheath initially kept pace with the Australian quartet, but then fell behind after a while.

Earlier the Australians had set a scorching new time, 4 minutes and 17.218 seconds, this score allowed them to qualify for 1st place. 

(Men Cyclists) The men's cycling team set a new Commonwealth record to qualify first for the gold medal final against England. Their time of 42.822 broke the record of 43.181 previously set by New Zealand in Glasgow.

River Talks🎉😀

Yesterday at approximately 12:30pm half of Room 12 and all of Room 10 went on a school walk. We went to Glen Innes Omaru River. We learnt a lot about the Omaru River and how and what we need to do to keep it safe. During the river talks we saw a Cook Island performance and it was performed by a young girl.

After the event was completed one of Saint Heliers' teachers stood up and thanked the people for what they had done. After the lady had finished speaking she lead the school into a waiata (song).

When the lady  finished I was put on the spot.  I stood up and said something. I was shaking because it was freaky. When I had finished speaking I lead Ruapotaka into a song.

WOW!🎆🎉

At precisely 1:32pm Room 10 held their the second syndicate assembly for Term 1 2018.

There was a dance battle. The first two classes were Rooms 9 and 10. The winner had to go up against Room 12. The battles were very funny because of the tricks they were doing. Like the cowboy dance, robots and a dance that I have never seen before.

In the end Room 10 ended up winning.
