Term one has been a great term I revised a lot of stuff and learnt some new tricks with division. Did you know to find out if a number is divisible by nine you can do this easy trick where if the number was 81 for example, then you would go 1+8=9 so it is divisible by 9. It also works if it is 99 because 9+9=18 but 18 is divisible by two to equal nine so it still works weird but easy. we also learnt loads of things in science and the football season started. we finished sewing where we made our Jerseys which was a new thing for me. One of the best things was becoming a year eight. Term one has been an exiting term filled with lots of activities.

Week 10
This week has been packed with loads of different things. Through out this week I learnt many different things. In french we learnt all the dates of the month from January all the way to December. We also learnt that there is a village in France that loves New Zealanders. Because during world war two they were boxed in by the Germans then a small rifle brigade climbed over the wall and saved the village. Then in science we learnt about solids, liquids and gasses. then we learnt how to make salt water turn into clear water. We even made slime. Then on Friday I participated in the W.I.M S football trials. Then to finish off the week the whole school was involved with the inter house summer games I supported our house in softball where we went undefeated.
