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!
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
Today we had some people come to our school, and they brought VR headsets and their actual film videos from New Zealand's oceans. It was really fun I had a great time and I learned lots.
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.
