Gaming workshop

 Yesterday the 13th of December, we had a gaming workshop. Tony from esports Whangarei and Ryan & Jess from the Ministry of Education came to our school because we won a competition out of our whole country but the actual gaming truck couldn't come so they came instead. They also bought us pizza for lunch which was very delicious.

It was a good experience, especially since I hadn't played most of the games before.

I really appreciated the gaming people coming up, it was very fun!

Speeches

Recently we did our class speeches and we could choose to go into the finals meaning doing it in front of the senior syndicate and I went through, on Tuesday all the finals did it in front of the seniors, I was versing the other year 8s with my speech which was 'What is Kpop' because Whaea Petrina told me to do something I'm passionate about. I was quite nervous but I still did it, and I came first out of the year 8s. I was very proud of myself because I hate public speaking. 😃ツ

The one with the pink hair is Caley and she is dressed up as Claudia from the babysitters club as well. The other person is Kate who is dressed up as Vicki Wilson from Showtym Adventures. (Oh and Maia didn't want to be in the photo, but I just labeled her anyways ;).)

My name is Rez

This term our class' reading focus is on refugees and this week we read a graphic novel about a refugee. We had to answer questions about it (mine are down below). The graphic novel was called My name is Rez. I learnt about some new countries I had never heard about before, and I learnt about refugees.

This week is Get into gaming NZ https://getintogaming.nz/. Today in class we watched a live stream,  the live stream talked about roles in the gaming industry and how to get into it, in the video they went over tips and facts about the gaming industry, it also talked about esports and it was very interesting for me even though I don't really like gaming, I learnt quite a lot about esports and gaming in general.
