My speech is about communication. I choose this topic because I like to talk. I started off by getting all my ideas and then deleting some until I had a manageable amount. I hope you like it!

High Ropes
On Friday the 3rd all the year 8s went to the Groynes in Christchurch. High ropes is one of the activities in the WPCA challenge.
I had Emma and Jess in my car. When we pulled into the Groynes we had a bit of trouble trying to fund the High ropes course area. We drove in and followed Pip Bartlett. We ended up going right past the turn off. When we got to the roundabout we turned around and eventually found the entrance.
The flying Kiwi!
"Are you ready team?"
"Are you ready kiwi?"
"Yes"
Sprinting, sprinting, sprinting, FLYING!
The breath was sucked out of my lungs, I flew up, round and round. Gravity. Gravity no longer existed. I hang there, suspended in mid air. No one could get me now. I was invincible! Swinging back and forward, I looked down.
A hundred feet down Miss Hanna was relaxing on her soft and comfy rug. She was waving her arms up and down. This was when I thought I had lost it. I hang there, hopelessly trying to snap myself out of my day dream. Then. Suddenly, I realised. My arms were spread out wide, like a hawk gliding through the night sky. Laughing to myself, I realised that Miss Hanna was just coping me!
The air blew on my face as I was lowered slowly to the ground. I stood there, standing on solid ground and a huge smile on my face!

During class we have been trying to say no negative things to anyone.
As I haven't posted many quotes recently I decided to post a POSITIVE one!

Clubs
Last week we started clubs. Every Friday afternoon we go to the club that we chose to participate, I chose Coding and Robotics.
Last Friday it was our first session. We got in groups. I went with Noah, Emma, Harry and Guy.
I decided to go to Coding because I can already do some HTML and Java script. Emma and I are going to the only girls.
I expected that we would do some scratch and guess what.... We did! I did the proper scratch and everyone else is doing scratch junior.
I am creating a shooting game, were you hover your mouse over the screen and when you press the space the machine gun fires. The point of the game is to shoot down as many balloons as you can. I am going to try get a scoring method to come on the screen.
I am going to keep updating this as I progress.

Jess's story about her weekend
On Sunday I went down the back to light the fire and toast marshmallows.
Great job Jess, you are starting to form your letters perfectly, and write them on the lines.
