C.O.D. Black Ops 2

Today we get to choose our own subject for our daily blog post. So I chose to do it about Call of Duty Black Ops 2. Black ops 2 is a first person shooter game which is based in 2015 and includes a Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies. My favourite is Multiplayer because it has submachine guns, assault rifles, rocket launchers, specials shotguns, pistols, light machine-guns and the all time favourite sniper rifles.

In zombies you have a challenge to survive endless rounds of zombies which get harder and harder every round you start. You can buy guns of the walls and use the mystery box which can give you wonder weapons or really bad weapons. You can also buy perks that help you survive.

200 Word Story

An ex-boyfriend, a pair of binoculars, and a good-luck charm.

It was an icy cold winter morning when it all started, the trees were swaying and the grass was frosty. I was sitting inside on my couch having a nice cup of tea when I get a phone call, it’s my boyfriend Joe “Hey babe do you want to meet with me today outside Smithson’s cafe? I need to talk to you”  “Sure” I replied. “I’ll meet you there at 9:00” He said.
I continue with my morning by having breakfast and doing my make up.


I go and meet Joe and straight away he say “I’m breaking up with you”, I run away screaming by the time I get back to my apartment my mascara is down to my chin.

Later I decide to go fishing because that is the one thing that sooths me. I get out in the boat and see some dolphins far out so I decide to get my binoculars out to have a look. I put my rod down and as soon as I got it to the bottom I get a bite and I wind my rod up to see what I got it was a king fish. when I was reeling it up it hurt my finger because I had my ring on so I take it off and put my rod back down and catch nothing so I put my ring back on and got another king fish so I think my ring must be a good luck charm.

Click card system

This year in 2014 every class will be helping develop a new system for Tauranga Intermediate School.
Every student will be given a click card. You will get a click every day if you are showing good behaviour. Therefore if you are not you will get a verbal warning, if you are still misbehaving you will get your name on the white board, if you struggle to stay away from trouble you will get a cross. Some students are so bad that if you are still naughty you will get a formal warning. With the formal warning you will have to write a reflection which will then go home and will be signed by your parents/caregiver then you must bring it back to school and give it to your teacher.
You can al;so get a stars card for being good and Miss Mills will draw two out at every hui and if your name is drawn you will get a voucher.

Mrs Colville will draw out a winner from the whole school to then be given a brand new bike.
