School Reflection

 Term 1


I don’t remember much about Term 1, but I do remember going on camp, camp was definitely one of the highs of Term 1, I really enjoyed sleeping in a tent with my good friends Jasmin and Mak, The worst bit of term four was when I fell down the hill biking back from camp, It hurt like hell and it was a pain to walk back. 


Term 2


Obviously term 2 was mostly spent in lockdown, I enjoyed lockdown for the first few weeks but it did get really boring, I did learn how to self manage better though, and I talked to my friends over discord. It was kinda scary at some parts but all in all it wa a fun experience being in lockdown, and I don’t want to do it again. 


Term 3


Skiing was my favourite part of term 3, I also made quite a few new guy friends in term 3. Which I am grateful for, I honestly think term 3 was my favourite term of the year, I have so many memories from term 3 and I am super grateful for them. 


Term 4


Term 4 really hit me hard, it sunk in that I would be going to high school very soon, its my last term of intermediate, but I am so excited to go to high school! The worst part of the year for me was definitely technology, I did not enjoy tech at all, but the best bit was definitely talking with my friends in the grass and just chatting, I love my friends so much. This year has been a rollercoaster!

Jellie Park Trip


 
On friday, my class Tangaroa, went down to Jelly park and it was AMAZING

my favourite part was going down the hydroslides, I went down with my friend Mak and it went really really fast, we nearly tipped over the edge, it wa scary and fun as hell. 

I also enjoyed swimming in the pool with mak, but the best bit was watching my friend Lewis do a belly flop of the diving board, absolute legend. 

Me and Mak hanged out the most and it was super fun, we talked a lot and we applied loads and loads of sunscreen, way to much probably, but I did not get sunburn so it worked! 

at the cafe I bought an Ice coffee because Its my favourite drink, I am a coffee addict, it had cream and ice cream and it was the best thing ever!

It was a great day!

Maths

 

Today in maths, we did Tessellation and we did three examples on google drawings, I think it was reletivly easy and fun.

Fun lil short story

 There was a girl, looking out a window, beading crystals scatter down the gloom filled glass, She is dancing with a man, hair drenched fully to the bone, white silk clamps around her body, her mind is alive with a billion sparks of angst, joy, sadness and guilt, the man grabs her, lifting her angelic swan like bodice of the ground, they spin into oblivion. 


the sun shines unforgivingly into my eyes, I look over at sleeping Henry. He is the sweetest boy I know, but I am the worst girl I know, he loves me, and I will break his massive heart down into the gutters of London, where the golden dust that he is made of will perish instantly, and he will be broken, In the morning, he plays his bass guitar, the loud thumps is another reminder of the way my brother ran away, a piercing siren calling me to follow him, but I didn’t, and this man is a key to finding him.


They hug and he says he loves her, but little does he know, he is her escape. - Henry engulfs me in a hug, just like every morning, his golden brown hair cascades down into his eyes, he is warm, and I am cold. 


After a week he calls her and asks if she is okay, she is crying in an alleyway cause she misses her brother. Everything she does is to get back to her brother, she says she is fine, over and over again. - I cry, tears sting down my face, everywhere a tear hits burns and stings like acid, the phone beeping on the sidewalk next to me hums loudly and I smash my empty hand into the wall, blood dripping down into my fingernails. I answer Henry's phone call, his words are blurred and as I hang up after reassurance. I say “I am Fine dear.”


She left Henry that day, the man was left in his barn, on his knees with $100 and a ticket to Florida, where he always wanted to live, but he wanted her…


She screamed insanitys and gibberish yells as they raced across the highway, leather jacket man zipping them down the vast countryside at 300 miles per hour, they had met at a bike shop, he claimed his bike needed fixing so she rented a bike and he took her on a trip to Brighton, England, a city her brother had wanted to visit. Kissing him goodbye on the beach, she vowed to remember him if she saw him in the street, he was different to Henry, Micheal with the Motorbike, what a troubled soul. 


Joyful colours are injected into the dim sky, it is now lit by a million light lamps, the noise shakes me onto my knees as I cry in delight and grief. He loved firework night, what would he say right now? A tall lady pokes through my line of vision, she is beautiful, her tall leen scale makes her look graceful and elegant, she has the body of a swan, as she walks closer I see her angelic dangerous eyes, bright, crystal blue. She was a demon in disguise, but I already lost everything, so we become workmates, all my days now are spent with her, pierre is her name, and she is lost in a word of lies and broken trust, she needed to be nurtured so her wings were ready to fly again, but I knew she didn’t love me, she would fly away and leave me, but oh, I loved her. 


Pierre was intelligent, she discovered everything about her, her mental health state and how many people she had lied to, she never let anyone fully in to her heart, Pierre was crashing through those walls, they cried to each other every night and held each other close, they were each others anchor, the person they clinged on to for support, Pierre would leave when she was strong. Pierre apologized for the future, both knew that Pierre would leave her battered, bruised and insane. 


Two years after Pierre came into her life, a diamond ring was hidden in the drawer next to her bed, her brother was dead, he died last year, she got to say goodbye to him, I

Snipet of my book

  Blinking. I never understood the purpose of blinking, but now I understand why people always got intrigued whenever someone was unconscious and woke up dreamily. What happens next? Is the question I ask myself when I blink my eyes, and see the face of a boy, draped in a white sheet of a nightgown. He had a halo of butterflies surrounding his silhouette. Grey and glittering gold they floated down around his pasty hair. It puzzled me how beautiful and mesmerizing he looked. Lost and scared. I felt sorry for such an obviously troubled soul, but he was gorgeous. Gorgeous and afraid, the butterflies zapped away into oblivion as  the darkness inhaled me with its huge jaws. I was in the corner of the deepest ocean. Unable to breath.  


It felt like decades before I was dragged back to the surface by the very darkness that was keeping me in, it taunted me as I struggled against the bungee that was taking me away. I had grown used to the darkness, but it was a voice that made me listen. A deafening scream. 


After hours and hours of condescending blackness I hear a female voice, soft and sarcastic, it was almost like her voice was two long hands, pulling me upwards to her. 


“Who is she… What did the label say her name was?... Annevita Rose Gallia…  Gees what a strange name… she's from the north side?... oh that makes sense…”

My eyes flickered open again and this time I didn't see the boy, just a whirring bright light shining into my open irises. Pity. 


I make a sound of disgust and discomfort at the light,

3D geometry Shapes

 In maths today we got pieces of paper and made 3D shapes, it was really hard and it was difficult to work your head around but we all finished them and I made a chirstmas tree with the shapes I made.

Maths Geometry Update

This Week in Maths we have been learning about geometry and tan-grams, we went on a site called mathigon.com and did the tan-gram maker game which we learnt how to rotate, flip and slide tangram pieces into their correct place. We had a different shapes and we had to fit them into a puzzle outline. Doing the tan-grams is all about rotating, flipping and mirroring. 

We also had to do heaps of long sheets about geometry with stuff like if I do a 1/2 turn clockwise what are you facing? and that was really helpful. 

We have been naming properties of shapes. For example, 
____________
l                       1    This square has four edges, 
l                       1    This square has 4 corners
l                       1     All of the corners are right angles
l                       1     It has 2 sets of parallel lines. 
l___________ 1     All the sides are the same length. 

and we have been doing things like that for multiple shapes. 





This triangle has 3 edges and 3 corners. 
all the lines are the same length. 
the internal angles add up to 180 degrees.



This rectangle has two sets of parallel lines
It has 4 sides and four corners
all the lines are straight
all the internal corners are right angles
opposite sides are different lengths.
