My day and a half at girls' self defence

All day Monday and half a day on Tuesday all the year 8 rimu house girls went to learn girls' self defense. The lady who was teaching us was called Alison but we called her Ali.

 There, I learn't the sensitive parts on a attacker and what to do to them if they grab me. I learn't different types of punches and kick to help me defend myself.

 Ali showed me how to use my voice. I need to say things strong and with power if someone grabs me or touches me and I don't like it.

At the end of a lesson we would listen to stories about what has happened to people and how they got out of it. Listening to the stories made me feel more confident that I could get away from something like that if I believed. 

In the end we got certificates and posters. On the posters it showed the sensitive areas on a attacker and will give you some options on what you can do. It also had phone numbers that you can call if you need to talk to someone about something or you need help.

I am really grateful that Ali could come and teach us that stuff. All of us feel much confident to go out now and we know what to do.

He looked around for someone to talk to. But all he saw was an empty playground, and the sound of the leaves blowing.

Poem of the weekend.

This weekend I went to Paris's house to help her pack up her bedroom into boxes as she was moving.

We packed up Paris's bedroom into boxes.
Eating lollies and pizza for lunch.
Extremely cold when I got locked outside.
Kindness flashed through Hunter Paris's little brother as he gave Paris a big sloppy kiss.
Exciting when we smashed up a T.V with a bat, but had to pick up al the pieces afterwards.
Never again going on a trampoline as I some how jump of the tramp and landed on the bar.
Dinner at my neighbors house we had a roast. I was so full I could only just eat breakfast in the morning.

My bulling experience

It was just last Friday, Me and my friends were going to our usual place at lunchtime at the other side of the school by the school gate. When we got there, there were some girls from kahikatea there as well. When we sat down they starting looking at us, they called us the "B word" and told us to go away and they were there first. We tried to reason with them  and told them that we can sit here to because we have been sitting here for a long time. They told us again that they were here first and said it not like you have your names on the tree that was there. We replied that we actually do, as we have the first letters of our names lightly drawn on the tree. They carried on swearing at us so we left.

I am not really to sure why they did that. When we sat there last year they would come over and hang out with us. Now they have changed a bit and they are quite mean now.

We didn't tell any teacher because we were all a bit scared that they would come at us if they got told off.

Should we do homework?

Should we do homework?

For

  • It gives you a chance to go over the things that you learn't in class so you have extra practice so you understand it.
  • You have to organize yourself to do your homework and bring it in on time.
  • If you are someone who has nothing to do after school it can be a good time filler.
Against
  • It could just be another hour and a bit you could add at school for extra learning.
  • You have been learning for six hours, you just want to come home and relax.
  • Some people are quite busy after school and do not have a lot of time it do homework.

We should wear uniform for school.

Should we wear uniform for school.

For

  • People will know what school we come from because we have a little tag on our uniform.
  • All schools would look the same. They wouldn't be different.
  • The schools uniforms show that the school is a team and they work together as one.

Against
  • It doesn't give us a chance to express yourself and show people who you are about.
  • Some family's find it hard to buy the uniforms as they can be quite expensive.
  • Some can be very uncomfortable for kids depending on what uniform they have. As a result this could affect the kids learning.

Who am I?

Who am I?
I work in the technology class.
I have been stabbed in the back with scissors.
I seem angry most of the time when at times actually  am happy.
I design things everyday.
My boots that I where are above always above my knees.
Who am I?

What I learned in Mandarin classes so far.

This term one of the topics are learning languages. The year 8 were split into 2 groups, one of the groups went next door to learn sign language and the other half stayed with Miss Campbell to learn Mandarin. I stayed in Miss Campbell's class.

There are 4 tones in Mandarin
(there is usually little symbols above the letters)
1. ā
Witch is a high pitch flat tone
