We are going to be performing three songs.

We practiced the songs like it was the real performance so we could practice our discipline, also our volume.  We sounded really good when we were practicing because our volume was loud and I thought that everyone in the audience loud and clear.

EXCELLENCE MUST DO

On Tuesday the year 7's and 8's went to Lincoln to do technology.
I showed respect by ......

- Talking to the person next to me quietly because I was talking quietly to the person next to me and  not yelling across the bus to another person.
- Listening to my technology teacher because when she was talking I was listening and did the same
  for everyone else.

EXCELLENCE MUST DO

Helping around the school

Today we had sausage sizzle and I helped out by helping pack up.  I packed up tables, containers, sausage sizzle stuff and a bit more.  Think it filled the people in the PTA buckets because it takes probably a much longer time than it did today because there were more people giving a hand.

EXCELLENCE CAN DO

Today I went to the library to do my dutie as a librarian.  Firstly I checked all the books were in the right section of the library.  Then I sat at the desk and Returned some books and also issued some books.  After a wee while it was time to pack up because the library was closing.  However we had a last minute issue, which was someone wanted to borrow a book.  After that we went around the library and asked people to start pack up because the library was closing.

MERIT CAN DO

First up with choir today we did the roll as usual with our warm up.  Then we practiced for the ring of fíre, the songs are called Mexican wave and Calafornia dreamin we finished learning the song called Mexican wave.  We finished choir with singing Haleluyah once.

MERIT CAN DO

Today we did Kapahaka, first we did our usual warm up.  Then we focused on Whakataka te hau again for every one to learn the words off by heart, to help us with that we tried singing Whakataka te hau with our eyes closed.  I think we improved a lot because we have not mucked up as much sentences and we are also powerful as a group.
