At the Ellesmere Speech Competition

After School on Monday night, my mum took me to the Ellesmere Speech competition where we met my fellow classmate Emily and her mum. Then Mr Robertson and Miss Blair arrived. When the speeches started we all went to the room where the Yr7's had their speeches first because Emily's speech will be later. We had to wait a while before I stood up and said my speech about "Videogames should be used in the education system". here is my speech: “Video games should be used in the education system!”

Afterwards, we left to go to the Yr8's room to hear Emily's speech, which was a long time. I don't know what place I came but I know I didn't come 3rd place, but we still got participation certificates. I am very proud to go to the Speech Competition and I hope to do better next time.

My DigiAward

Hello everyone, I have entered the Digi-Award Competition this year and my category was digital sandpit.
I had to use my computer and an ipad from my class. It took a while to make because I had to copy my entire classroom in minecraft and since I'm not in a group, I had to make students by using armor stands with steve heads on them. But I managed to get it finished in time just before the end of school time, I think it's great and I hope you enjoy it.

Going to Cantamaths

Cantamaths

On Wednesday the 24th of August, I and 6 other students from Rimu and 1 student from Kauri went to Horncastle Arena, where we were going to Cantamaths.There we had a Yr8 and a Yr7 team.At 4pm, our Yr7 team and other Yr7 teams had go down stairs and the runners had to go out first and choose a table in the arena.The Yr7 scored 20 points, a good score for them since it was their first time.

At 5pm, 

Our team (the Yr8 team) went down the stairs and into the arena where Gus (the runner) ran out and chose a table in a line which was short.
We then started answer questions that Gus gave to Bella P, Emily and I, some of our questions were so tough that we had to pass.
In the end, my team got 75 points out of 100 points!
We got 40 MORE points than last year, but we didn't win anything because there were a lot teams who got 100 points and we weren't one those teams,
but we had good time and I'm excited for next year's Cantamaths.
