Its 2012 yay. We can now say that we were in year 6 “last” year and “this” year we’r going into year 7.It is also the holidays so maybe some of the year “6′s” can comment on what they’re doing during the holidays and how it’s going.

Just yeserday was the last day of the week, the last day of the term, the last day of he school year, and for the yar 6′s the last day of primary school. :-(

We started off the day with going to the park for our end of year school picnic to play some games. Year 6 played T-ball first untill it sarted to rain so we went overto the big trees to also have frouit break.Then we moved on to the play equiptment. After that we played newkenball then it started to rain so onece again we went under the big trees and while we wer there we had our recess.We then moved onto playing netball. Unforchenly  it was time to end the day by going back to school to have a nice lunch, some of us ordered a sausage sizzle and slushy from the canteen.After having lunch we actualy went back to the park but had to leave our bags at school.Yay It was year 6′s tern to verse the teachers at a game of T-ball. at the end of the game

Rest up Year 6… next week will see you complete your digital yearbook, attend your Graduation Mass and perform your own special assembly.

I am so proud of all of the creative thinking you have put into your animoto and group reflections.

At 8:30am,  7 HIC girls turned up at Domremy for their Orientation Day. First we had to get our name tags and the teachers and students had us sorted in to groups. There were the Red Teddy Bears, Green Teddy Bears, Red Butterflies, Green Butterflies, Red Roses, Green Roses, Red Angels and Green Angels.

After that, one of the teachers took us over to the senior block and we were tested for four hours. In between these four hours we had recess. The tests included: Problem Solving and Reasoning, Reading, Mathematics, Spelling and a writing test.

After lunch we got into our groups and we set off on a tour of the school. In some parts it looked old and in some parts it looked very new. After that we went back to the hall and our year 7 co-ordinator let us out, she stayed with some people who were catching the bus like me. There Motto is ‘ La Verite’ which in english means ‘Let the Light Shine True’.

Today in our Japanese lesson, Kakei Sensei taught us how to write using the art of calligraphy.

He brought in;

 Shitajiki, a black, soft mat which provides a comfortable, soft surface to write on.

Bunchin, metal sticks to weight down the paper during writing.

Hanshi, special, thin calligraphy paper.

Fude, the calligraphy brushes. There is a larger brush for writing the main characters and a smaller one for writing the artist’s name. The small brush, however, can be used for the characters, too.

Suzuri, a heavy black container for the ink.

Sumi, the solid black material that must be rubbed in water in the suzuri to produce the black ink which is then used for writing but today we used “instant ink” in a bottle.

Let’s see which country will leave the most comments.

Thanks Mrs S

This week we have to blog about our favorites, so I’m going to talk about my favourite things.

First things first, food. My favorite food is chocolate. Out of 3 types of chocolate, I like dark chocolate but I like all of the food that has chocolate flavour: chocolate ice cream, Kit Kats, mousse and many other kinds

 Yummy isn’t it

Secondly, my favourite things is books. My favourite book serie is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. It is a really funny book about life of a 13-year old kid who is stuck in high school with dumb morons and kids who are meaner and taller than him. He had a family of , with his brother, Rodrick, his mum, dad, his baby brother, Manny and him. Rodrick is, according to him, a stupid jerk. He has a band that usually practises in the basement and annoys him all the time. His parents always treat his brother Manny like a prince, he always got to wear pretty clothes. He had a best friend called Rowley who is pretty much childish and selfish.

My favourite cartoon EVER EVER is Spongebob Squarepants. I have watched it when I was only about 4 and it’s my childhood. My favourite character would be Patrick Star because he is dumb, he’s always hungry (like me) and always makes me laugh
