Week 2 Term 2

Hey guys,
This week has been a hectic week,
During Monday, we had the typical Monday morning assembly. It wasn't as boring or as long as usual, so that was good. My favourite part of Monday was when we got to try lacrosse. I have never tried to play this sport so it was a cool experience. Lacrosse is played with a stick, with a 'head' on the top of the stick. You play with a ball. The ball is held in the stick as you run around the field passing to your teammates trying to score. I found some parts of this a bit hard to do but other than that it was fun.
On Tuesday in science, we made bath bombs with citric acid, lavender scents, food colouring and baking soda. We had to do this very carefully as we didn't want the citric acid and food colouring to neutralise and if that happened, the bath bomb wouldn't work. There were about five different colours and we were allowed to put as many colours as we wanted. I made mine like a rainbow. After science, I went over to the food room because my friends class had their cafe and I asked if she had any leftover food and she gave me a massive cupcake with marshmallow on the top. It was delicious. I played volleyball at lunchtime and it was our classes first game and we won by 20 points. Tuesday was also Mrs Crowes birthday, she doesn't like people finding out, so we decided to sing her happy birthday before the end of the day.
Wednesday was a finishing off day for some of us. We had the chance to catch up with writing, maths and anything else we needed to have done. We had our second lot of jump jam for the term and It was fun. I made a few mistakes, but I just laughed it off and kept going with the song.
On a Thursday I am usually only in class for the last block as in the first block, I have symphonic band, then Jazz band. Today at the band we practised our songs for the concert next week. We are playing with Matamata Intermediate and Cambridge middle school. At the concert, there will be symphonic band, junior band, drum line and choir. All three schools will join for two days to practise, then a concert on the Thursday night. School signing is always a fun time for me. Caitlin and I always have a good time. We also had our first RI assembly for the year. The message was about how sometimes sorry can be deceiving.
On Friday, it was our last lesson of science and we got to make sherbert. We used citric acid, icing sugar, and food colouring. I found this really fun to make because it was like the bath bombs it it nuetralised it wouldnt have worked. My sherbert is really sour but its also really yum. We had another game of volleyball today and won again by 20 points. I think that this year our class will do quite well at volleyball.
Well thats it for this week guys,
see you next time.
