NBC Market Day

On the 12th of November 2025 NBC had a Market Day. There were some stalls that the money went to the school and some went to the people selling. Me and my friend Willa had our own market stall selling old stuff that we didn’t use/need anymore. In the end I made $31.40 and Willa made $38.40. We would have had more if we didn’t spend some money.

I really enjoyed the market because it was loads of fun.

Has your school had a market Day before?

If your from NBC, what was your favourite part of the market?

Cool Captions

W.A.L.T: Make something for your specific audience

This week at NBC we have been learning about captions for writing. We got given a photo of Mr Gray’s farm to add captions onto.  I made one with my friend Summer. This task wasn’t my favourite but it was kind of fun because it was really creative.

 

Here are my captions:

 

Have you had any close encounters with sheep or chickens?

Press B

For my reading group we have been reading a book called ‘Press B’ by Paul Mason. We did a few activities surrounding the book and characters. One of them was we had to do something revolving the characters and say what their personality was like

Here is mine:

Have you done an activity like this?

Conclave

On Thursday morning, both Year 7/8 classes bussed to St Francis School so Cardinal John Dew and Bishop Micheal. John talked to us about his experience in the conclave and when Pope Leo XIV was elicited at Pope after Pope Francis passed away. He talked about how he had to drop everything and go to Rome. What he talked about was very interesting.

Have you heard about the Conclave?

Hatchet review

In room 9 and 10 we read a book called Hatchet. The book was good, had some ups and downs. In the end I think it was around a 4 stars out of 5. Once we finished reading the story we watched the movie. The movie was so much more different than the book and honestly not much better. It got boring and wasn’t interesting at all. It was a 3 out of 5.

 

Have you read the book? What did you think of it if you have read it?

Have you watched the movie? What do you think about it if you have watched it?

Duffy Books

Today, on the last day of the term we got 2 Duffy books. I chose the book ‘Beyond the Isle of the Lost’ by Melissa De La Cruz and ‘Dawn and the impossible three’ by Ann M. Martin. We got to have 15 minutes of silent reading to try read our books.

 

Have you read either of these?

Fish

For the past week room 9 and 10 have been working on painting a fish to put up near Couplands. We painted some fish with our choice of design then we gave them back to our teacher and she gave them to the person who asked up to paint them. She put them on the wall and is having a grand opening on Sunday and Monday.

 

Her is the fish I painted:

What do you think of it?

Would you go to the opening?

Minecraft Winter House

At NBC we are starting the winter learning journey. Our class started it a week early. We got to choose one activity and we were also allowed to work in pairs so I decided to work with my friend, Violet. We chose the activity in minecraft were we made a winter house.

 

 

Is your school doing the winter learning journey?

If you’re school isn’t, which one would you pick?

Sir Fluffington Deserved Better: Tales of a Suburban Goddess

Today in class we wrote a story then we got to put it in Chat GPT. I told Chat GPT to make it more Karen like and it turned out amazing.

 

Here is my original:

I woke up at 9 am feeling mad at my neighbour because their dog was barking at 96 DECIBELS AT 9AM!! Anyway, I went on a walk towards the forest. I yelled at a few people who were walking on the same footpath as me who got in my way. While I was walking on the footpath there was a beautiful flower. I picked it and took it back to my house. My kids Karenly and Karenvive were at home practising their piano in the living room while I took the flower to my diamond vase with gold accents. I put the flower in the vase and left it there so I could go get some dog food for my dog. The cashier charged me more than I was supposed to  so I yelled at her for her manager. I went home and saw the most horrifying sight. 2 BUGS IN MY VERY PERFECT HOME!! I screamed before running and hiding.

 

And here is my Chat GPT one:

A Day in the Life of a Woman Who Knows Her Worth (And Isn’t Afraid to Yell About It)

Woke up at 9 A.M., already mad because Waffles—the neighbor’s barky rat-dog—was auditioning for a horror movie at 96 decibels. Excuse me? I paid $1.3 million for peace, not canine chaos. Called the HOA so loud I’m pretty sure they heard me from the clubhouse. Posted in the neighborhood group: #WafflesMustGo. Boom.

Tried to zen out on the “forest trail” — aka bug Central. Seriously, I got eaten alive like it was a free buffet. Then some peasants blocked my path, so I said, “Honey, are you lost or just rude?” They laughed. I would’ve called security, but I left my VIP Karen Hotline Card in my other designer purse. Priorities.

We also got to make ai photo. (The dog in the background is Waffles by the way)

Have you wrote a story like this?

Whats your favourite part about each story?
