A Catch-up

It’s been a while since we updated Shane’s blog. Sorry for
the slackness, it’s been a busy time. Shane’s been busy too, with lots
happening at school. Here are a few of the highlights:
~ He was awarded merits for his Rhys Darby project in Social
Studies, and also in Latin.
~ His merit for guitar was upgraded to Excellence after he
learned to play a new song without looking. When the guitar module ended for
his music class he decided he would like to continue with it and so he signed
up for beginner guitar lessons. Shiloh loves listening to him play.
~ The family was given a new Xbox 360. Shane had been
praying for one for quite a while,...

A Merit for Music

It can be difficult to get a decent photo of Shane.
Especially with all that hair.
He tends to hide from the camera, or pull silly faces, or

But he and Shiloh, they have a special bond
and when left alone, they have these special moments.
Shane has been learning guitar at school for the last few
weeks.
It’s the first time in his life he’s ever picked up a
guitar, and he’s taken to it so naturally he’s surprised even himself.
He’s learned to play Mary had a little lamb and Twinkle
twinkle little star, by heart, in just 2 weeks.

Shane made this necklace and the box for it in Design
Technology. He has been working on it for most of the term. He completed it in
class today and was pleased with the result, especially because he got a merit
for it. It’s the first merit he has received for something at high school.
He also brought home his graduation report today. At his school they are updated each term on
where they stand in terms of passing or failing. They evaluate each of his
classes by grading them with a percentage, and then their overall average
percentage indicates whether they will graduate the year or not. Minimum level
of achievement for graduation...

Each term for Social Studies, Shane has to do a project on any subject of his choice, and can submit this project in any form he wants. For Term 1 he has chosen to do an informational poster on one of his favourite people - Rhys Darby. Shane wants to be a comedian when he grows up, so he has really enjoyed learning about Rhys Darby's journey to fame. He said many times "We're so similar!"

The day after Shane got back from School Camp we were off to
Christchurch for a week for Aunty Karla and Uncle Iain’s wedding. We had a
great time and the trip was filled to the brim with heaps of fun and great
memories.
Here’s a few photos {click to enlarge}:
