States Of Matter

This week Rm 11 had been doing science work. Our key topic was 'States Of Matter'. This key topic was based on how solid, liquid, and gas work. There was an article on 'States Of Matter' and we had to do some special thinking. We has to find 10 informative facts we found and key words. 

Rippa Rugby

Senior Syndicate got the best opportunity to learn Rippa Rugby as our kiwi sport with Hamish as our coach. It has been a best experience so far and some of us got to even learn new techniques or have fun in a game. Hamish is a good coach to have, He would always teach us good throwing skills.

   

Fiafia Performance

Last week Thursday we had the best opportunity to do our fiafia performance in front of our school because we couldn't do it at camp. It was nervous at first because like it in front of our WHOLE SCHOOL who wouldn't be nervous? but besides all the worries and nervous feelings we cheered on others. It was my group performance next and we all gave our best and we did we succeed in our performance it was a great experience.

Camp Bentzon was the camp we went to and trust me it cold but Peter and Erin Camp Bentzon managements are great people. Hope you have fun if you go to Camp Bentzon (Kawau Island)

The Magic Library

I was doing a quick write and thought of heaps of ways to write about my topic. I started writing knowing times ticking and I can say I'm very proud of this piece of writing even tho it a quick write but it ok the time of writing this was finished so I thought "Lets leave a cliff hanger" and so I did. I hope you enjoy this writing

The Magic Library

Stepping into “The Great House”  closing my eyes knowing the rumors that go around saying “Don’t step into the great house because when you step into it...your a goner” I waited for a few min to see if I would be be gone in a blink of an eye...but no I opened my eyes they WIDENED when I saw the scenery books everywhere I jumped in excitement Why? Well I loved books especially adventures book I couldn’t wait to run around seeking for books to read. I peeked over my shoulders and everywhere checking if the coast was clear. I could smell something nice I was sniffing it out and following the scent to a kitchen my stomach growled and the people in the kitchen looked at me as if they were waiting for me? The laughed and some chuckled someone went up to me and I think it was the Head Chief? Well he was walking over handing me a plate of food I thanked him. The food was finished in a nick of a time I love food then another man came and told me “Go look around and come back over here ok?” in a nice and calming voice I listened I saw and isle where a signed said “Adventure Books” I walked into it looking for a exciting book to read, I saw a book I was interested in I was a golden book and it looked amusing to read I grabbed it and went to go over where I was eating I opened it and something flashing came out of it .

The Mountain Pass

The Mountain Pass

Time went by and I didn’t even notice that weeks or months just passed through the days as if there was no time at all. Walking past trees and jagged hills had made my eyesight obnoxious. I didn’t even know where I was going. My mind was going through all crazy and complicated pains. I was going INSANE!! My body was hesitating to keep going, my stomach was starving and every slight movement made a step closer to freezing to death. Nothing in my body was communicating with me.

Darkness was appearing in front of my eyes so I decided, since my body is not going to work with me I might as well sleep it off, so I did.

The Next Day I woke up, sore and in a lot of  pain. My back started hurting but it didn't hold back. All of a sudden, I tripped on a rock and hit myself. I fell unconscious. When I woke, I saw stairs in the near distance, between a tall and humongous hills. I smelt a strange scent from a distance.

Something caught my attention. I saw a sign reading “WARNING: DON’T GO FORWARD, DANGER AHEAD”. My mind was full of questions, “should I go ahead”, “ No, I shouldn't, there’s a sign right there saying “Danger”. But there was something about that strange scent that was calling me to go ahead....

TO BE CONTINUED!!

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT OUR SCHOOL WHAT WOULD IT BE?

This Term Rm 11 was given an Explanation Writing about: "IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT OUR SCHOOL WHAT WOULD IT BE?" 

We all thought of some things and many of us had some really great ideas but we had to choose just ONE thing, so we picked one thing we thought of and started writing about it. I was still thinking of what to do but to be very honest, I didn't want to change a thing about my school, as a student that has been here since yr 0. I loved it the way it was everything was ok. Hope You Enjoy My Writing. :)

Changing GTS

Title:

IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING ABOUT OUR SCHOOL WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Introduction:

Firstly If I could change one thing about Glen Taylor School it would be changing the play area for
the senior syndicate around
our school like the netball court, park etc

Reason 2:

I know some students think it’s boring so why not upgrade it? Upgrade it into something more
cooler and also safer like make the playground because its old and make it more usable so like
put swings, a flying fox,monkey bars,
and also a slide to make it more steeper just to make the students feel chills going down their
backs while they are sliding down.

Reason 3:

Also for the students can have fun during lunch time/morning tea and so they don’t get hurt or bored.
But most importantly is we should be more grateful for what we have right now at our school because
there no other schools that have a swimming pool, basketball court or even a park all they have is a field
or even worse!.

This is the ONE thing i would change about GTS (Glen Taylor School).
