Term 1 reflection

 Term 1 was a pretty fun for the first term in high school. i had a lot of fun with my friends and classmates 

the subjects i did in term 1 was doing Sewing, Drama, Maori, Hurumanu, and Wanaga. my favourite subject was Wanaga and we had to make a flag of what you liked and free time as well 

something challenging was sewing I want because it was hard to do and you had to learn what parts you had to sew in.

my 3 goals is: getting 20 Carr card stamps and finishing work a bit faster and not getting distracted by anyone talking
