Hello Richmond View Whanau
(Bonjour Famille d’Ecole Richmond View) It's the year 9 students back again with the last student blog for term 1 Let's start with all the amazing things we have done this term. These are the things we have been doing outside of school: We have enjoyed time at the stadium with Petra. We have learned futsal, netball, squash, and handball. Also the rpm (which means rotation per minute) on the bikes and circuits full of warm-ups and stretches. We have also had the pleasure of going in the vans to Technology where we have been learning how to make natural and healthy fruit syrups. We have also learned that in fizzy and energy drinks and surprisingly, in juice, there are so many chemicals and so much sugar. It will be our last week at the Technology Centre for this term next week. At school, we have been gaining our knowledge with Mrs. Pigou about Ancient Eygpt and the ways the Egyptians communicated. We learnt about their jobs, the battles they fought, and how they lived their lives. In mathematics, we have been learning to become confident in ourselves and our math skills. ‘You have not failed I have just found 10 ways that don't work’ this is one of Mr. Adamson's favorite quotes. In English, we have been working on reading responses and how to lay them out correctly, we have used texts from The Hobbit and a book of our own choice. We are currently watching Soul Surfer, so that we can write a film response. With our science teacher Mr. Adamson we investigated the brain and how each part works. Did you know that the left side of your brain controls the right side of your body, and the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body? Amazing right!! We have enjoyed the senior devotions with rooms 5 and 6. We learned that the friends you choose help influence who you become and we learned that we need to keep our ears open for God because he has so much to tell us - are we listening or are we too focused on our own problems? The devotions really inspired us all to listen out for God and learn what he wants to teach us. We all have things God wants to tell us. This term has been a great learning experience, we have found our place and we are seeing what works well and what we need to change. We want to thank Mr. Adamson, Mrs. Pigou, Mr. Pauling and of course, the parents and family out there for helping us out and praying for us. On behalf of the year nines, thank you and bless you all.
