Hi everyone! Recently, I just tried out a website called Pic Lits. It is a website where you can pick an image, then write something about it (text to go with it). I chose this one, below, and I wrote something about it (this is a screenshot) Amisha ;)

Last night, 65 teams flocked to our school's flat floor hall for the 2017 Lit Quiz Regionals (Waikato and BOP), and it was an intense and epic night.  The quiz started at 6:30 and finished at 9:30. Southwell entered 2 teams, Southwell 1 and Southwell 2. I was a part of Southwell 1 along with; Alice, Max and Ellena. Southwell 2 consisted of; Ben, Joanna, Charlie and Caitlin. The results for both teams were: Southwell 2 finished in 7th place with 75 points. Drumroll please................... and Southwell 1 finished in a whopping 1st place and received a cheque of $1001! We were over the moon! It was a great night filled with lots of fun, craziness and energy and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Yours in books, Amisha 8CH

Sustainable Energy Sources People across the globe use non- renewable energy sources which are bad for the planet, such as Oil and Coal. It is important that we use renewable, natural energy such as windmills, water dams and solar power. Food Many children around the globe aged 5 and under die of malnutrition. More children around the world are going to school hungry. Many can't even afford to get a proper education. Homelessness In most of the world, people are living in slums, with no electricity and living in terrible conditions. People are living on the streets. 1 in 5 children live in poverty. We need to create communities where everyone has access to equal resources. Rubbish Our planet is clogged up with rubbish... destroying the ecosystem, polluting our waterways and releasing harmful gases into the atmosphere. We need to find new and affordable ways to use recyclable and Eco - friendly materials in our everyday lives. What can we do? How can we make...

Some of my goals for Term 2 are: To try extremely hard to get past regionals in the KLQ To put 120% effort into everything I do To always be on task, and focused To push myself to new limits To be creative To venture outside my comfort zone To listen, but also speak up To smile and be happy!
