Sophie Here!!!!

Hey I'm Sophie,
In my spare time I like to dance, sing, play the piano and SWIM!!!!!!
I am in the Motueka Swimming Club and I go to Star Dance Academy.
My favourite colours are lime green and purple.
I also like to play netball and hockey.

At school we have had HEAPS of things on. We have been to the Motueka Saltwater Bathes for a school trip, our school participated in World Maths Day which is where we versed people from around the world playing maths games. Plus things like organising our school BBQ on Fridays, going to MOTEC which is for year 7 and 8 students and basically we bake and make stuff to do with technology. Big Buddies is really fun it is where you get assigned a younger kid to buddy read with every Thursday in the summer we sometimes get to go swimming with our Little Buddies. I was also lucky enough to get picked to go to a Literacy Quiz in Nelson. I was in a team with three other people and we competed against teams from around the Nelson District. We had questions ranging form Harry Potter to fables. It was an AWESOME day and I hope to participate in it next year. For the first 6 weeks of term Room 9 had the chance to host a student teacher from America. Mrs Dyer along with two other student teachers visited our school for up to 6 weeks. Last weekend Mrs Dyer went back to America. As I said I really like swimming and I am in the Motueka Swimming Club. In Motueka there was a Interschool Swimming Sports held at the High School Pool. I was one of about 17 chosen to go and take part in the big day. Some kids walked or biked down and some kids were able to take the car. I took part in all the events in my age group. I didn't manage to get into the finals in anything but I was soooooo pleased I got to go as I was sick last year.

This term I school I have enjoyed meeting new people and making more friends. This term I have learnt how to say somethings in Japanese, like Konnichiwa and Watashi wa Sophie desu and some more words. In term two I hope to try and get better at my linking in Handwriting.

BYE FOR NOW,

SOPHIE
