Review

During the holidays I got a new 3DS game called Etrian odyssey IV. It was an RPG game where you were an adventure team. It sort of reminded me of Pokemon Mystery dungeon. When your playing the game you go through many dungeons to complete missions. When you step on a square you have a chance to get attacked by monsters. When going through the dungeons there are powerful monsters that roam around. They move every time you move so you have to have a strategy to get around them. The game has a map on the bottom screen which you draw yourself. Since it gets confusing the map allows you to put walls up for the ways to go and little symbols to point out things like stairs, doors and where you are supposed to go. I like this game because it is fun and strategic.

Mission Fair

Last week we had the mission fair. I was in a group with Elizabeth, Ben and Jmk. Our stall was in the room off the staff room. We were selling fudge, Popcorn, hot chips and we had a raffle. I was in charge of bringing the fudge, the popcorn machine and popcorn kernels, salt and butter, the raffle booklets, the cups and some money for the chips. I was sick for the two days before the mission fair which was the Tuesday and the Wednesday. Ben brought the prizes for the raffle as well as some of the money for the chips. Elizabeth and Jmk brought some money as well. When I got to school I asked the others if they had the stuff they needed. They said yes and asked where my mum was. I asked them why they wanted my mum and they replied that she was suppose to buy the chips. Originally on Monday we decided Elizabeth's mum would buy the chips. But Ben and Jmk couldn't remember who was buying the chips and Elizabeth was sure that my mum was buying the chips. In the end we asked Penny our Librarian to run down to the fish and chips shop with us. The mission fair was fun to run. On my 5min break I went to my little sisters stall to shoot nerf guns. We raised $148.90 for our stall. If we ever do something like this again in year 9 we should call each other up more to organize it. We should also spread out who's bringing what because i ended up bringing a lot of stuff.

What I like to do at home

When I have free time at home I like to play Sims 3. I got it for Christmas with Two expansion packs which were pets and generations. I now own almost all the expansion packs including Supernatural, seasons, island paradise, into the future, pets, generations. I am only missing four. I like to decorate the houses. I find it really fun to just design rooms. It takes me forever to design and make a whole house and decorate it. I also like choosing sims outfits and hairstyles. My friend Ayla and I both like sims. We talk about it quite a lot.
 Does anyone else play sims?

Statistics

We have just finished our statistics topic in maths. We are now moving on to number and rounding. In stats I think I have improved on my graphs and charts and have learnt more different graphs like box and whisker graphs. I think writing everything down got me to memorize everything like all the new graphs I have learnt and how to do them.

OPC Camp!!!

We just got back from OPC camp last Friday.  I think the most challenging thing we did at camp was going through the small gap at the bottom of the cave while we were caving.It was half submerged in water and it was a very tiny gap and the rocks were pointy. The thing that was the easiest was the flying fox we did over the river. It was so fun zipping down the wire then flying into the air at the end.
It was really fun like I expected. My favorite moment was doing either abseiling (a 35m vertical cliff so epic), kayaking/canoeing (I had a turn with both I loved it) and the great seaweed fight (We all ended up with seaweed and mud in our hair lol ).

Swimming

For swimming this term I am in canoeing . During the first week we have been working on getting out of canoe once they have been tipped over. Then we started learning how to steer the canoes with our hands by going round in circles. I think I am getting better at steering the canoe round in bigger circles instead of going round on the spot. I have only had two lessons so far because I missed the third. I enjoy canoeing because I used to do it when I was little with my grandparents in the river by their house in Nelson. I haven't done it for many years and it is great to do it again. I hope everyone else enjoys their swimming lessons as much as I enjoy mine.
