NYLD! (National Young Leaders Day)

Today the year sixes went to the NYLD trip and is was really amazing! At first, we had to go on the bus to the Vodafone Event Center, and it was jam packed with cars, students & buses. After we had come inside the massive building, we headed to our seats for the day. The show had started and There was a DJ playing music and then the hosts came and told us about what happens in NYLD. So it basically is we learn about leadership and listen to other people's stories, that could inspire us to do more and help others. This year's topic was "You're a seed born with greatness" 

And the first speaker was Aaron Jackson and how he would never give up and always try his best. Then it was Daniel Flynn, and he told us about how he saw an add about people not drinking clean water and that made him think if he could start a bottle water company so that every purchase funds to make new clean water pumps and then people won't have to drink dirty and dangerous water. So it was stories and events that happened in people's lives that have changed so many others lives and brought a smile on their face.

So over all at the end we had a wonderful and great experience and I'm sure that this made people think about that their a seed born with greatness. I learned a lot from today's trip and I'm hoping that this would inspire me to do more.

Amazing koru Art

For the past few weeks the habitat has been doing Maori related art. So we split up in to groups and I went to Miss Loves group and we did koru art inspired by Raewn Harris!

I have finished mine and I think it looks great. I'm really happy with my blending and my vibrant colours. I think personally that Raewn Harris is amazing at art! Especially the way she uses the natural New Zealand colours, and the Autumn colours, like orange, red and yellow.

I think I could have done a bit better while doing the rain drops. Because I used chalk and it smudged and it was really frustrating:(

For my art work I give my self personally 9/10. Because I'm really happy with my koru!

Freak shakes!

In our habitat we have been designing our own freak shakes. If your wondering about what it is, it's basically you design a crazy milk shake and there are other sweets and other stuff! So basically the killa cafe made a contest were if you design one about you summer holiday and if it's that good they might even put it in the menu, and you'll win a voucher for two shakes. I'm really looking forward to this and see who's gonna win!
