Holes !

For reading our group IMAC had to read a chapter book called Holes by Louis Sachar. We then had to complete tasks that our teacher has given us, we needed to describe their character description, family description and character appearance from what we know already from the chapters that we have read.

Stars research

I am in the Stars group with Zac and Tajiany. We had to complete different tasks and when finished apply them onto our tri-fold. We had a little bit of trouble near the end but I had friends her were willing to help me out. We presented out tri-fold to our class, everything went well and me and Zac felt proud of it even though we had to wing it through out the presentation. Here is our slide that shows some of our work that we have accomplished and our to do list.

                     

Eastern Zone netball tournament

Yesterday the year 8 boys and girls competed in the eastern zone netball tournament at the netball center near the flee market. There other schools there like Sylvia park, Pt England and other schools that we saw. 

The year 8 girls team went to semi finals but sadly came 2nd place and the year 8 boys came 3rd place. but in the end we all had fun, Thanks to Mrs Fa'alili, Miss Tuia and Mr Fa'alili for taking the time to train the team, get them prepared for Mr Fa'alili for the transport.

Here are some videos of the Glen Taylor school netball team playing.
