Busy week Wrapped up

Another busy week has come to an end. Particular kudos should go to the two teams at the Canterbury OTD current events quiz. 

Our A team of Matt, Aaron and Alex came in the top 30 and beat our school year 8 team. Our B team of Nikhil, Taiiba and Jacob came in the 'top' 70. 

Alex has also had success in our school Speech competition, coming second with her speech on 'Kindness being the greatest invention'. 

Congratulations must also go to Olivia and Sarah who also spoke impressively during the speech finals. 

Well done guys!

Pegasus Triathlon

On Wednesday the 13th March I went to Pegasus to do the triathlon zones. I had to put my bike on Mr Russell's trailer and he gave me an awesome jacket to wear. I was the only year 7 there. Then we went to Pegasus in cars. I had to go with James Lancaster and his mum. Once we got there we had to meet at the big suspension bridge to get our bikes. Once we had some of us got our bikes from Mr Russell's trailer we went into the transaction to put our bikes in the specific row. After that we had to wait until the other schools had got themselves ready then we had to line up in our age groups. Finally we got given a number. I was number 520. Now about the race.

Swim: the swim was really tough since it was a additional 25 meters more then last year which made a big difference. But overall I reckon I went really good. But the swim really failed me.

Bike: The bike was pretty easy considering I had a mountain bike and I only got passed by road bikes ( Which is kind of a good thing) This time I went really well on my bike.

Run: The run went really good considering running is my best thing.

Overall I came 99th out of 109 which even though I haven't been training I don't like my results at all.

Room 5 School Councillors

Last week Room 5 had to write a speech to say if they wanted to be in the school council. Most people wrote to try get to be the school councillor but some people didn't want to be the councillor so they would say "Don't vote for me but vote for ...".The best campaign against each other was Joseph and Aaron against Max.The winners for the school council were Cara
as the school councillor, Michael for deputy and Holly for deputy of the deputy's.Congratulations for everyone who tried out.
