The end

We have now finished our 17 days to make a difference in our community.

This task taught us how to do things we don't usually do and to do things without being asked. I enjoyed this as i got to help others. making this blog was also a lot of fun because you can customize it and change all the colours! This site is really cool, you can put heaps and heaps of stuff on it.

I think everyone enjoyed this task but it was a shame it was only 17 days long!

Day 17

Today is the seventeenth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I feed my kitten Bella as she had no food in her bowl. She was meowing as I took so long to notice her so I decided I would give her a treat. I gave her some of this fish stuff. She really liked it, I bet it was tasty. I enjoyed helping Bella and I bet if she could she would of said thank-you.

Day 16

Today is the sixteenth day of my 17 days to make a difference.

Today when we were doing our managing self task, we had to write out how we manage our selves. I was going to type up mine when Tyneesha, Alex and Courtney had to go to basketball. I decided to type up theirs as well. The site we were on needed a username so I quickly asked Tyneesha hers but didnt get to ask Courtney or Alex. So I decided to do mine quickly then do Tyneesha's as well. I unfortunately didn't no Courtney's or Alex's so I couldn't do theirs. I type pretty quickly so it didn't matter if I did one or more. I got mine and Tyneesha's done way before the bell. I was very happy I helped her as I hardly ever type up other people's work. It was fun too as I didn't have to go to class and do nothing for the last 10 minutes or so.

Day 15

Today is the fifteenth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I decided I would make my little brother afternoon tea. I never do this, my mum or dad does. I made him some melted cheese and gave him some chips. He really liked it. I had some as well and it tasted yummy! He said thank-you and so did my dad.

Day 14

Today is the fourteenth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I decided to make my mum and brother breakfast. I made my mum egg on toast and my brother nutella on toast. Then I made my brother some milo as my mum already had some coffee. They both said thank - you and were very grateful. I enjoyed making breakfast as I got to do everything. They said that it tasted yummy!

Day 13

Today is the thirteenth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today my sister came and helped me with my science fair which took a while. So I decide I would go with my sister and my mum to look at wedding dresses as my sister is getting married. I don't usually like to go shopping and just sit around waiting but today I decided she helped me so I will go with her to the weeding place.She tried on heaps of dresses while we waited but it wasn't too boring. She did also say thanks.

Day 12

Today is the twelfth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I went to Lloyd elsmore swimming pools because my little brother had swimming lessons. I usually go with so I can swim too. I swim in the bigger pool, the really cold one. I do this every friday but never say a proper thank-you so today I did. My mom was happy as I took the time to appreciate what she does for us.

Day eleven

Today is the eleventh day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today while we were playing volley ball for our team P.E, ( which was really fun! ) our teacher Mrs Dada said that if you can volley or dig the ball over the net you can get a green card. Green cards are really good as if you get one you get points for your house and it goes towards the total points for our house at the end of the week. I dug and volleyed three times so that meant I got to have three green cards. Mrs Dada made a mistake and game me four. I didn't realise until I got to the place where you need to put it in. So I put my cards in for my house, which is MIRO!!Then I took the last card and placed it into Rimu. Rimu at our school is coming last so I decided to help their house. I felt good about this as I helped out another house that was a bit far behind.

Day ten

Today is the tenth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today, I went to my mum's work, she works at a Kindergarten. My brother and my sister came too. My brother was really bored so I decided to play a game with him. We played soccer! It was a lot of fun. He said thanks for playing.

Day nine

Today is the nineth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I decided to help my little brother. He wanted to know how you play this computer game so I decided to show him how to. He now knows how to play and he enjoys it heaps. He's actually getting quite good. It felt quite nice to help him!

Day eight

Today is the eighth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I decide to play with my kitten Bella. I did this because I haven't played with her for ages. I think she liked it. I really enjoyed spending time with her as shes so CUTE!!

Day seven

Today is the seventh day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today, I decide I would help out my sister. In her car, where she keeps her licence for the car, the holder had come loose. So I decided to fix it. I got some sticky tape and decided to stick it back onto the window. It didnt stick very well but it works for the time being. She said thanks and she was glad that it didn't slide out everytime she turned while driving.

Day six

Today is the sixth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today, I decided to bake for my mum. I baked muffins and chocolate slices. They were delicious. Everyone appreciated this as they could have a nice treat. It was a lot of fun baking as well.

Day Five

Today is the fifth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today when we went to Lloyd elsmore for my brothers swimming lessons I decided that a few minutes before he had to swim I would swim a bit with him in the little pool. We played tag and hads some races. We both had a lot of fun playing together.

Day four

Today was the fourth day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today as my deed I decided to help most of my family members. I helped my sister by running the bath water for her as its her chore. I helped my mum by vacuuming the carpet and tiding the lounge. I helped my dad by unpacking the dishwasher. I enjoyed helping everyone as I didn't really know who to help. They all appreciated me doing as i got a thank- you, it made me happy!

Day three

Today is the third day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I helped my brother by cleaning his soccer ball. He was playing and the ball got all dirty so I decided to clean it, when doing this he said thank -you. The ball is now really clean, although it took a while it was still great to help someone else. He was very happy he could play with it again.

Day two

Today is the second day of our 17 days to make a difference.

Today I decided to make a difference by taking my mum and dad's plates to the kitchen. I did this while they relax and watched TV. I then washed them and placed them in the dishwasher.I then put their dinner trays away. This little thing made a difference to their day as they got to spend a bit more time relax than having to do chores.

Day one

Today is the day we started our 17 days to make a difference.

Today my mum was not feeling well so I decide to make her bed for her and fold her blanket as well. My mum appreciated this as she said thank-you to me. I made a small difference to her day as she didn't have to go make her bed. It felt good helping someone else especially my mum as she was sick.
