The Gardens School is a School that helps students learn in unique ways. Sometimes they let hapori’s perform items like songs, painting shows and much more. Recently the teams Kiwi and Kākāpō set an amazing assembly for the whole school to watch. You might be wondering who is this Kiwi and Kākāpō people or are they birds? Well the school named the year 1s as Kiwi’s and for the year 2s they are called Kākāpō, the Kiwi and Kākāpō are on the same floor so they included the Kākāpōs with the Kiwi’s.

While I was watching the Kiwis and Kākāpō’s assembly they suddenly started dancing to the coconut song p, and there I knew that was the highlight of the assembly that had just brought me to my childhood as a year 1. I recognised my buddy from buddy reading and buddy maths. She was doing the Haka and I watched her cluelessly do the moves that she seemed to not know a bit. As an audience member I was super interested in what they did, but I wasn’ so interested that I stood up I just viewed from the end and admired their work. I felt that I was leading proudly as they passed me holding there paintings shyly. The Kiwi’s and Kākāpō’s assembly was and all but I think that the Kahu’s could do better (clearly not bias). I personally think that for our assembly we can try go for a funny theme because I think if we make it funny we will get more enjoyment out of the parents so when the parent walks out they could just think “wow what a great School”!

At The Gardens School we do all kinds of fun adventurous things, but one of my favourite things we do at school is clubs. You might be wondering what is clubs? Well the thing is that clubs is a thing that year 5-8 get to do, at the start of the Term we get many fantastic choices of clubs we can do! Like if you want to do something very active you can do a sport but only do it if you quite keen on sports. There’s so many things people do as hobbies and so much to choose from.

Now about me (yay!)! The main clubs I chose was enviro and sewing and quite frankly I got in both of them. What I was most excited about was seeing because I always saw my mum sewing but I never understood how to do it. Sewing club is basically either hand sewing or once we get better at hand seeing we might have a chance of doing machine sewing. For sewing we were trying to do some skirts and dresses that were size 2s. For the present we are still trying to make it but we have made a pattern, we aren’t quite finished yet but I feel like by the end of the term we will.

Today it was my first day at school at intermediate (mind you this is my thoughts) and I was extra nervous because I was starting intermediate. I had heard lots of bad things but as much as there were bad things there would be good things at least I thought. As my mum dropped me off I said bye! Then I headed up the hill, for some reason it was quiet nobody was here. I felt like I could drop a pin and actually hear it, I then tried going to the door and then I opened it surprisingly there was still nobody there. I then got the idea that I was in the school all alone! I started prancing and dancing jumping on the couch and then I dared myself to go to the monster’s lagoon (aka the staff room) I saw bundles of items in the fridge I then snacked on them almost like forever and then I heard “WAKE UP YOU’RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL” I then felt I light tap on my shoulder I opened my eyes and then I was lying in bed wondering what the heck just happened?
