NETBOOKS GALORE

This year I have really LOVED having a Netbook to work on because,

Now that we have netbooks to work with, it’s become much easier to write and publish posts on your blog. Other things that make this device much more simpler to use, is that, we can communicate and share our work much more faster than before. The best thing is, we can find more information and research quicker than ever.

Although work is much easier, it sometimes gets irritating when your netbooks starts to play up. Most times we have to restart the netbook because the screen is frozen. Our problem, has to do with the internet. Usually, the internet is down, so we are not able to do our work given.

For us, it is a HUGE difference between learning with a netbook and learning using pen and paper. For example, we have found it easy to share a doc instead of taking too much time and conferencing with a teacher, it’s simple. Toreka and I are glad, that we have a one in a lifetime chance to have a netbook for our very own use.

We have enjoyed using the netbook, the hardest thing for the both of us was, getting to know the netbook and all the little details we needed to learn. To be honest, the challenge for us was keeping ourselves away from the bad and dogey things like, games, twitter, youtube and much more, but we managed. We have got to admit, most of the time, this was an experience for us for 4 long and great terms.

If the Netbook scheme failed and our netbooks got taken away from us, we would probably be devistated and find our work much harder. Pen and Paper is not that bad, but after 1 day without a netbook, we think it would be difficult, without our little device here, speeding through our work.

Physical Sports

Out of all physical sports, what is the one sport that comes to your head? I can think of a variety of sports, but after listening to Mrs Nua going on about Tennis, and the fact that we were going to be doing some skills and to learn how to actually play, was not the sport I had in mind. Tennis was the last thing to come to my mind, I mean, What’s the worst that could happen? ...

BANG ! SMACK ! HIT ! There were balls flying everywhere once we set foot on that court. Our trainer introduced himself, and said he will be teaching us Tennis skills and playing a game of Tennis, every Thursday, for the next 4 weeks. That moment, my jaw dropped open and I said to myself, “If I can’t handle one day, how can I handle 4 weeks of this madness?” My day just got better by the moment.

“Get a partner and find a space on the court, and wait for my instructions”, He said loudly. I quickly called Selena (my friend) my way to practice with me. He said, “One of you, go to one side of the net and put your ball down”, Selena went and was ready to hit. “The other one, put your racquet down, and get your ball”. I knew it was going to be fine with Selena. We didn’t do well at first, but getting to the end, we got the hang of it.

“Quickly count yourselves into a team of 6 and I will come around and show you people a demo”. I was quite excited at this point, we were challenging each person in our team to see who is King of the court. I was up and I looked fine on the inside, but really, I was shaking in the inside. BANG ! My first challenger I beat, but the 2nd I unfortunetly lost against. I wasn’t the exact winner, but at least I had fun.

I think I judged this sport by it’s name thatn by what it was like. I think I should of waited before I said anything or did anything. I will be looking forward to the next lesson, and hopefully, I will be King of the Court.

An experience of the word COMET

What is a Comet? Mubasshira and I got given a task to share with you all by Mrs Nua. The task was to pick a word from OUTTA THIS WORLD, and research what it is and the information. As you can see, the word we got stuck with was COMET, it wasn't the easiest word to research, but it was a quick experience. After 1 week and 1 day, this is what we searched and found. We also though the presenting in front of the class was a BLAST! Please Enjoy this presentation.

The flag of France


As you can see, the flag I have drawn up above is France, who will be playing in the Rugby World Cup 2011. The task was to find the meaning of the colors on this flag. It was pretty difficult to search for the meaning of the colors, but it turned out that this is what they meant: The Blue stands for: The power of influence that France has had over other countries. The White stands for: Peace and Purity. The Red stands for: A symbol of Bloodshed that must be lost in honour of the country.

Our Place, Our Team Presentation

This presentation was made by a group I was in. This has information about New Zealand, such as, The team, The people, traditions, celebrations, Background, Historically, significant places and events. My group was filled with 4 talented students in my class, Selena, Mubasshira, Thora and Me. I thought it was a great experience, because I learnt more and more things about New Zealand and the All Blacks. If you start this presentation you will see what I learned and experienced while making this. Hope you enjoy!
