Term 1 is nearing its end and 11 weeks go along with it. I have made so many memories this term and it has been a blast. I had Camp, Triathlon, I got into Rock Band, I am in both Symphonic and Jazz Band, I am in Choir, and I have learnt so much! This term I did not get a leadership role like I would have hoped for but that does not mean I am still not a leader. Also, I am improving on my class work.

My favourite places would have to be Weta Workshop, Wellington Zoo, Space Place, Capital E, Snorkelling, and H20 Xtream. I loved Weta Workshop because I am a huge Middle Earth fan, (Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit). I loved the Space Place because I already knew a lot about Space, but I learnt a lot more. I loved Wellington Zoo because I got to see so many new animals that I had not seen before and I got to get some souvenirs afterwards. Also because it was my birthday. I loved Capital E because I got to be a presenter in OnTV and that was a whole lot of fun. Also in the Media Lab, we got to make our own worlds with some Unity software and got to use Google Cardboard to see the world. I loved Sn...
