Remembering The Christchurch Earthquake

At 4:35am on September the 4th 2010, residents of Christchurch had been awoken by the large noises and shaking of the big earthquake that happened that day. The earthquake damaged buildings in Timaru and Dunedin. 

To this day Christchurch cathedral is still being repaired as well as many other buildings. This earthquake had killed 185 people. 

How I Feel About Lockdown!

Since this is the second lockdown that New Zealand has been through, I'm not really that keen to be staying home. Although its boring one thing that is good about staying home is that we get to stop the spread of covid-19 throughout our community.

Staying home also gives me and my family time to retrace where we've been and to limit the contact between family members and the public. Maybe after this lockdown we will have a less amount of covid-19 cases than the start of it.

Volleyball Tournament!

This year I was able to represent my school at the volleyball tournament held at the Barfoot and Thompson Stadium in Selwyn College. Our first match was against Panmure district. We had a mix of 3 girls and 3 boys for the Y7&8 team. 

A few parents came to watch and support the students from our school. During our breaks we went outside to practise our digs, sets and how to call out for the ball. I enjoyed playing volleyball this year and hopefully I get the chance to do it in college next year.

Last Wednesday I got the chance to finish making my box to put my necklace in. After I saw my box was all finished Mr Grundy polished the wooden box with wood oil. As soon as that was done I tried to finish my workbook while the oil was setting.

On the workbook I had to write down the steps on how to make the pewter necklace and explain what I used to make it. It was fun making the necklace.
