Term 4, Week 1 Recap

   Wow! Already in week one we have had a super busy week of priorities, speech writing, a monarch show, down at the Wainui Surf Club, and then next week the year 6's are going to camp for three nights, then the week after that we have MLH speeches. This is going to be a jam packed term, with lots of exciting things to do all of the time. 

   On Tuesday we walked down to the Wainui Surf Life Saving Club to watch the Monarch. It was really cool, funny, and a really good experience, and I hope to do it again. The reason why we went down to the Wainui Surf Club, was because we were going to do it in the hall, but MLH has it as their classroom, because room 1 & 2 are getting renovated, and now room 1 is room 3. The Monarch show, was supposed to be in term 3, but because of Covid-19, we ended up changing it to happen in term 4. There were two people acting in it, so it was fiction mixed with real life knowledge about monarch butterflies.  

   Because I am a year 6, I will be attending the year 6 camp with all of the other year 6's in week 2 of this term. In week two, I will able to tell you all about camp from beginning to end. All that I know is that we will have camp at the Kennedy Park in Napier.

   For speeches, my speech is about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - the civil rights activist, in the United States of America - and what he did to be a famous changemaker, helping people through segregation, and writing speeches to make sure that he could do what he could to make a change. 

   Everyone in MLH, will be giving their speeches to the class in week three, on wednesday, then we will have finals the day after, with the same judge as last year, Bevan for Breakfast on the radio, if I can remember correctly. I am a little nervous, as most people will be, because standing up in front of a lot of people and reading anything, can always be a little nerve-racking. 

   This term is surely going to be full of lots of surprises along the way, and exciting things that we will already know about that is going to be happening.
