Dear Basketball Girl,

I think your team’s passion about winning blinded them to the fact they were neglecting you. I wouldn’t take it personally as they all just want the best results for your team. Then again they need to take the fact that it is your first year in the team into consideration because they could have been a bit too harsh on the feedback about your game play.  

I think the best thing to do at the moment is train by yourself (as well as with the team) to gain more confidence.  Once you can see progress in your basketball skills, I’m sure the rest of your team will as well. Then you can all put everything behind you and have a great rest of your season!

I hope that this email gave you a better insight about your problem.

Best of luck!

Imagine going on a trip with your friends… A chance to get away from the rest of the world and just have fun with the people you enjoy being around the most. Sounds pretty fun, right? Well little do you know that while you are away from civilisation there is a start of something. Something that could effect your entire future.

In the novel “Tomorrow When the War Began” we are reading in class we are introduced to a group of friends, Ellie, Robyn, Corrie, Fiona/Fi, Homer, Lee and Kevin. They’re on their way to start making memories when

 

 

I chose the technique body because it is one thing that  I need to apply when doing drama.

As a year 9 there was a lot of having to get used to new things such as finding your classes, having a different teacher for each subject and only having 45 minutes of each period. It was a big change from coming from a little primary school where you only had one teacher in one classroom for the entire day. There were tons more opportunities, both physical and intellectual. I joined the netball team, Arataki and took up free-diving. Trying out new options to help us decide what we wanted to pick for year 10 was fun. It was an opportunity to talk to people outside of your form class and have fun at the same time.

Today in performing arts we were focusing on one of four drama techniques, voice. This is an example

Congratulations, you have made it to Term 4! Think of how you want to make sure you make the most of this term to set you up for Year 10.

Kia ora, we have been setting goals to prepare us for Year 10. Below are my goals:

 

1. One piece of advice for myself this year is to give myself time to study and revise for any upcoming tests. 

2. One thing I was proud of from last term was passing the geometry test.

3. My main focus for the next three weeks is to keep up on the work so I can be somewhat prepared for year 10.

 

4. When I need help I know to ask for help from peers to try and have a better understanding of the work and if that doesn’t work, then ask the teacher.

5. At the end of this term, I want to be able to say that I achieved my goal of passing all my tests.

6. These are my action steps to help me get there:

• Re-inforce what we have been learning in class on IXL.

• Give myself enough time to study and revise instead of leaving it until the last minute.

• One piece of advice for myself this year is to make sure my chromebook is fully charged.

 

• One thing I was proud of from last year is that I passed my Geometry assessment with a Merit.

 

• My main focus this term is to try and prepare myself better for tests and ask the teacher for extra help.

 

• When I need help I know to ask my friend Mina for help or email the teacher.

 

• At the end of this term, I want to be able to say that I achieved my goal of knowing my times tables off by heart right up to 13 times tables.

 

• My action steps to get there are:

 

• Making sure I complete all tasks in class time

• If I am away, I complete the online learning so I don’t fall behind

• Study for my upcoming tests

• Use IXL every night

• I email Whaea Narelle with problems that I have

• I ask my buddy Mina for help if I need it

• Asking my Dad to test me for my times tables
