YMS Speech Competition!

On Wednesday, we had our school speech comp, and I placed third.

We prepared our speeches for 4 weeks, reviewing videos, researching, and testing. We worked on iSPACE, and we worked on correct punctuation and punctuation. It took a while for our whole class to research different speeches, but in the end, we improved.

Here is my speech, it is about how suicide should be prevented. 

I got lost during orienteering...

On Wednesday we went to spencer park, and did teamwork activities for the William Pike Challenge.

We arrived at spencer park, with Rangi Ruru Girl's school. My favourite activity was when all of my group had pipes and we had to get a marble across the field. Later on we had to pick partners to go orienteering with and I went with my friend Jedi, and then Jacob joined our group. We read the map wrong a detoured from the group - the instructor had to run around the forest to come and get us, which I found pretty funny. Overall I had a good time and I hope we get to do something like this again.
