Year Reflection - Reveiw

The Major events this year were, Cross Country, Regent theater trip, Have a go sailing, Tree planting, overnighter, pet day and many more fun and exciting trips I had never been on before. My highlights this year were doing the bottle top art with Ms H, help planting tree's and seeing amazing views from the tree top walk in Hoki. My best part of the year was seeing my best friend coming back from Nepal and giving her the biggest hug. I'd like to thank the B.O.T for making all the really expensive trips so cheap. Next year I'm am looking forward to our camp at Bridge valley and going to technology. I have nearly mastered all of my times tables and gotten really confident with angles. I had fun baking lots of yummy treats at school while the year 7's were at tech. I am proud that I did all of my maths buddies and home links done in time and I think that they were all good.

Sailing on our local lake!

Sailing on our local lake!
On Friday the 4th November we went sailing on our local lake. There was a morning sailing for the beginners ( ones that have never been sailing before ) and and afternoon ( for the more experienced, where the wind was much stronger and more sailing could happen. ) I was in the afternoon sailing. The Sailing... Have A Go! team were called Dave, Russel, and Henry. My favorite part was  when we did the hair flip off the L'Oreal Paris Shampoo ad where she whips her hair and says " Because I'm worth it ". Our re - make was we leaned off the side off the side of the boat, dunked our hair in the water then flicked our hair and shouted out loud together " BECAUSE I'M WORTH IT! " One of my minus was that I think next time we should have a lot more time on the water. Overall I think it was a good day to go sailing and an great opportunity for us to go and have fun sailing on our local lake.

Logo Creation

Recently in Ruma J, we have been leaning about money. We have been using a website called banqer. Banqer is a bank simulator that is an online fake bank account but has all the real life bank features. The class has now been designing some logos for different companies that help the school, class, and community. My business partner named Prakriti and this is our logo. Our company is called K&K LTD. It provides a reminding service for the whole school. The reason why we decided to use these colors is because our company is associated with trust and loyalty. the black lines may seem to look like a diamond, but it is actually a K's turned facing each other. The reason why we named our company K&K is because I like the name Khloe, and Prakriti likes the name Kylie.

This is a company that we have just started. The company name is called K&K Blossoms. The reason why we chose these colors is because purple represents the loyalty and security in our company that you can trust. Every 2 days we sweep the blossoms off the concrete to make the community and school tidy.


This is our last company. It is called K&K Kares. This company provides a friendly helping hand to the school by checking the role of how many people there are today. I hope you like all three of our logos.

St Johns came to school!

On the 2nd of August, we had a visitor from St Johns. Her name was Denise. She brought her CPR dummies, - all of them called Burt, and her little toy ambulance called Amby. 
First Denise taught us a game. We had to make a list of what we needed. Then She said the first scenario. There were a group of teenagers going for a 5 hour walk. and little Joe fell into the river. Then we had to cross out the stuff we used to keep him warm and safe. In other scenarios Joe started to get Hypothermia. My group was the group that won. The other groups killed Joe. I learnt a lot about the emergency blanket. Denise explained it as foil. Once you wrap the blanket around you, It keeps all your body warmth trapped in the blanket. Although if you are cold and wrap it around you, it will keep you cold because it doesn't have a source of warmth. My favorite part of the whole experience was getting my heart beat. Not like some other people I have a fast heart beat. And some in our class have slow heart beats. Next time I would like a little more time to do the CPR on the dummies. Thank you St Johns for coming to our school.

Elgregoe came to town!

Recount and Remember

Today on the 21st  of June Mr magician Elgregoe  came to our Lake Brunner School to teach us about anti bulling but included some of his magic tricks... with animals! Some of the key messages of his teaching is:

Hands are for helping, not for hurting

Bullying is when it goes on and on and on

Physical, verbal, cyber, stealing

Treat others how you want to be treated

We are all different

Important Parts

My Favorite part of his show was when he did the floating woman trick.

Balloon experiment.

When tapping lightly on the balloon your ears can hear the noise loudly. When you blew up the balloon you forced the air molecules inside the balloon closer to each other. Because the air molecules inside the balloon are closer together, they become a better conductor of sound waves than the ordinary air around you.
