YMS ski trip

On Friday the 9th of September YMS went on a ski trip to Mt. Hutt.
We came to school at 7 and left at 7:15, the bus ride was 1 and a half hours.
Some people fell asleep on the bus.
It was a lot of fun because I went up the quad and came down highway 72.
The first few times I had trouble with it but I became more and more confident each time I went down.
I really had fun.

Cantamaths

In term 3 Rimu class have been working on our cantamaths projects. There were lots of categories to do from but our group decided we should make a 3D model of a WWE ring. 
It was fun to make but also challenging because we had trouble trying to keep the turnbuckles up.
We were really happy that we got it finished and we thought we did a really good job.
What do you think of it?


Also I was in the year 7 cantamaths team and we went to horncastle arena and there were 60 school there in total.
Even though we didn't win we still had fun; I was the runner for my team and was really tired at the end.

Smoking should be illegal!

In the last 6 weeks Rimu was working on how to write and create and persuasive speeches, there was no specific topic to write about so I decided to write about why Smoking Should Be Illegal.
Lots of people die because of smoking each year and it is expensive and an unhealthy habit, so that's why I feel that smoking should be illegal.
Here is my speech, for why I think Smoking Should Be Illegal.
What I did really well is that I spoke clearly and was looking to the audience and not looking at the cards too much.
The things I want to work on is: 

Getting the audience hooked in.

Speak with expression and change tone as appropriate.

Use body language like gestures.

How do you think I did?
