being year 8

I am really excited about being year 8 next year. I have only been top of the school once before and that was only for 6 weeks. I am most excited about all the jobs that are up for offer. The jobs are...
-house captain
-catholic character
-milk monitor
-road patrol (which I already do)
-library
-and first aid


I am also excited for the old year 8's to leave because although they are nice, they make so much drama out of everything. like right now to of them are fighting over trying to get a piece of paper out of the printer.


I am not looking forward to new year sevens coming in though. only because at the Otago problem solving all those year six's that did it got double the score that I did.


Anyway I am really excited about being a year 8.

speeches

this week we did speeches and my speech was all about furbys. some of the things I said my speech where...

-furbys where 1st introduced in 1998
-they where created by David Hampton Caleb Chung
-there are three different types of furbys the our normal furby, the furby boom and the old furby.
-you can feed, cuddle, stroke and even pull the furbys tale
-I want another furby for Christmas

I feel like I started my speech of really well but half way through I completely forgot my speech. At the time I was upset but it doesn't really matter anymore because at least I tried. I didn't really think I was going to get through anyway so at least this year at the school speech competition I can just relax instead of freak out about my own speech.

books

One of the books I have recently read is Jacky day dreamer. It is a biography all about Jacqueline Wilson's childhood. The only reason I started to read it was because it was on the class book shelf and I had nothing to read. It was much more interesting than I thought it was going to be because I thought it would just be this old writer talking about going to her grandparents at the weekend.



My favourite chapter is called Fat Pat. It is about this girl who used to be in Jacqueline's class at school. she was really beautiful but people called her names like fat pat. One day she said to Jacqueline its not my fault that I am fat. She started talk to pat after that.
One day after the holidays Pat wasn't at school. She said her desk was gone and she wasn't on the roll. then in assembly they announced that Pat passed away in the holidays. It is a really sad chapter and that's is coming from the girl who eat sleeps and breathes twilight.


Overall its a really good book and I recommend it for you. xx Imy out xx

speech competiton

This term is the speech competition and my topic is furbys. I am really nervous because I am worried my speech isn't going to be as good as last year, because come on, who doesn't love to hear a girl embarrassing her older sister (by the way I should of put copy right on singing in the shower with my chiwawa). last year I got first place and I could of feel like people are expecting a good speech.

I am really excited about my  topic because them already know everything about them. That's right I am doing furbys! it is really easy for me because I already know what they are, the different types, what they can do, and I am also really good at persuasive writing as I have been doing it since I was in like year two.

anyway I am nervous but excited and I cant wait to do it/get it over with. Imy out xx
