I ended up 95th.

zone basketball

After weeks of training the Pukekohe Intermediate basketball went to Papatoetoe for zone basketball. Our team was best team Pukekohe Intermediate had seen in a long time. I was really nervous as our team went onto the court. I got to on in the second half and I really enjoyed it. Ethan Vaughn scored a lot of baskets. We won that game. I got one shot in the whole day and it almost went in but it bounced off the rim. At the end of the day we ended up 3rd and then we all had fish and chips for lunch.

typing test

Sense-lang is a typing test which shows how many you can type in a minute I can type 21 words in one minute. My number of mistakes is two and the number of characters I can type is 71.

MI Graph

MI stands for multiple intelligences. There are 8 intelligences.


My intelligence is intrapersonal (myself smart) but I absolutely think this test is rubbish because the graph shows that word smart is my weakest intelligence and kinasesthetic smart is my second weakest strength which I am NOT . I will never take it again because it is absolutely silly and wrong. Your intelligence will change over time.
