A. How do you feel about this year?

I feel very happy that I have done amazing work this year

B. What did you find especially satisfying this year?

When the Year 7’s went to Rainbow’s End this year I really felt satisfying.

C. What did you find especially frustrating/difficult this year?

I feel nervous when I go in front of my class and explain some of my learning because it feels a bit difficult when I go up and explain.

D. If you were to give yourself a grade out of 10 - 10 being awesome…what would you grade yourself?

I will give myself a 7/10 because I’m sometimes not on task on my netbook and even when I’m not on my netbook.

I brought in Gingerbread Men's for our Netball Teams Cake Store Fundraiser to buy us new Netball Gears and Uniforms.

I will change my behavior because next year the Year 8’s are going to be the Leaders of the School, so I would change my behavior to a Good behavior.

I will need some help with some of my time tables and fractions.

Just really hope you enjoy reading my Colour Poem :)

Maniakalani Film Festival

 Manaiakalani Film Festival

On Wednesday the 11th of November it was the Manaiakalani Film Festival. On Wednesday as the bell rang the whole of Team 5 got ready for the Karakia, Mihi and the Notices. Soon as the Karakia started I was really excited and thinking about the Manaiakalani Film Festival Trip. Then after the Karakia we started our Mihi. The Mihi was not long, so Mrs Tele’a gave out the Notices. Then a few minutes Mrs Tele’a dismissed us back to our classes.

Then we went back to our classrooms and sat down, so Miss Hockly can do the roll call. After the roll call we had go to our Literacy Classes. Miss Hockly dismissed us to our Literacy Classes. As soon we got dismissed we started Literacy. We had Literacy for 1 hour and 45 minutes because, we had Morning Tea early so we can leave early to the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

As soon as the Morning Tea bell rang we went back to our classes and had our Morning Tea. So we only had 10 minutes of Morning Tea. So we didn't play we just had to eat and go Toilet because we weren't allowed to go Toilet over at Cinema's. After our eating we went to the Toilet and then came back to class. We came back to class just in time to go. So we all went and sat down in the street to get ready to go. As soon as we sat down Mrs Nua called out the names of people that she's gonna go with on the first bus. After Mrs Nua picked those people they left.

After that Miss Hockly said “Room 4 stand up” so we stood up and then Miss Hockly lead the way to the bus. As soon we got on the bus  we sat down and waited for the next class to come in and that was Room 2. As Room 2 walked in the bus the bus driver turned on the bus. After everyone was settled we left Pt England School. So it took us a few minutes to get like about 13 minutes. When we got there Miss Clarke told us a few things where we go.

So we walked out the Bus and also said Thank You to the bus driver. As soon we walked out we saw where we had to cross so we crossed the road walked into Sylvia Park. As we walked inside Tamaki Primary just walked out. So we walked inside and felt it was so cold like freezing ice blocks because, it was so windy inside because when we looked up there was not much roof up there. We got to the stairs it felt a bit warmer. So we walked up the stairs and walked straight to where our Theater was. So we all walked in and then had to stop by the door so Ruapotaka can settle their first and we walk in. So Ruapotaka just settled themselves and we walked in walked to the middle and sat on the left corner.

As soon as we got settled we started they turned the lights off and then we started Manaiakalani Film Festival. So we watch some of Some of our Movies first then we watched some of Ruapotaka’s Movies. Ruapotaka only had like 6 or 7 movies and we had heaps but we didn't get to see all of it because we didn't have enough because, we had to watch some of Ruapotaka’s Movie.

After the Manaiakalani Film Festival they turned the lights back on. After everyone walked out we walked straight down stairs. As we got to the floor we walked straight outside and stood there and waited for our buses. While we were standing out there some of were freezing like ice blocks again because, we weren't wearing a jumper or a jacket because, we thought it will be sunny. While we were waiting we sat down because the bus took a few minutes to come it like took 10 minutes to wait for the bus, So a few minutes got here and we power walked straight into the bus because, it was so windy. When we got in the bus I put my head on the window and closed my eyes so my eyes can rest because, it was so sore from staring at the Manaiakalani Movies. So slept for a few minutes and when we got back to school my friend May woke me up so we can go back to our classes. While we walked out some people didn't want to get out of the bus. So we walked out and then we also said Thank You again to the bus driver. After that the next bus just got here so the whole of Team 5 was all there so the whole of Team 5 walked in the street and walked into their classes to have their Lunch.

Survivor - Immersion Assembly

“Woohoo”! “Today is the beginning of Term 4” While we were getting ready for the day the bell rang. Me and my friend May quickly ran to the the street for our morning assembly. While Mrs Tele’a finishing off her notices we were quietly waiting. Finally Mrs Tele’a finished her notices. She then said “Can Room 4 please stand up and walk quietly down to the hall”

Soon as we got to the hall we sat down and quietly waited for the other classes to come and sit down. Finally they sat down and we started our Immersion Assembly. The first team to start was Team 1, then Team 2, after that was Team 3, after Team 3 it was Team 4. Finally it was Team 5. So when their song started I enjoying it so much. When the Teacher got up on the stage they were wearing wearing something to represent their culture.

As Mr Wiseman was telling the story about who’s gonna survive. The teachers had to do a challenge where they had to eat the most noodles in 30 seconds using chopsticks.  It Was So Fun. While the time was counting down Ms Clark just finished her whole plate. When she finished her plate everyone else had to stop eating. Then Mr Wiseman announced the person that survived. And that was Ms Clark.

Then after that Ms Peato came in and said” It’s not fair because I come from Samoa and we don’t it with chopsticks, we eat with our hands.” Then Mesela came in and said “Yeah it’s not fair because I come from Tonga and we don’t eat with chopsticks either.” Then Mr Wiseman asked Ms Hookly.

“What about you?” “ Ohh we sometimes eat with chopsticks in Japan, but it’s not that hard to eat with chopsticks.” Then Ms Ingram said “I don’t really eat with chopsticks because we don’t come from Japan, we just eat with forks, the normal things.”

Then Mr Wiseman announced the winner again, and it was Ms Clark. So Mr Wiseman asked her did she finished plate in almost 30 seconds, Then Ms Clark answered “Ohh it’s so easy to with chopsticks because  my culture, we always eat with chopsticks and that's how I win” “Woohoo” After that, they all cleaned up their mess and walked down the stage and then they finished their show.

So our Literacy Class has been working on Recount today because we are starting our writing test next term so "Good Luck" to us! Hope You Like My Te Oro Recount :)

Te Oro

Firstly, When I started Te Oro I was so shy. My Group was called the Nesian Fusion. I did not want to walk into the room to start our lessons because I was very shy.

Then, My friend May helped me feel happy, so we walked into the room and started our dance lessons then I felt more happy that my friend had me happy.

After that, Me, May and my other friend Paige had to learn a Samoan dance and the other people had to learn the stick dance, which it was very hard to learn. It took them a few weeks to learn so I felt so nervous that they might drop it and will be embarrassing.

Finally, Our Practices were done. So we had to perform at Pt England School Hall on Friday the 18th and then on Saturday the 19th we performed at Te Oro. I was so nervous that we had perform at Pt England School Hall and also at Te Oro, I felt like I was gonna Cry.

Personal Logo

Kia Ora Bloggers! In the past few weeks myself and my Literacy Class has been working on Introduction Paragraph and Body Paragraphs. This Personal Logo is asking you what is a Personal Logo?
Hope You Enjoy My Paragraphs :)

Personal Logos

What is a Personal Logo? Personal Logo is something that is representing yourself or your company.

Firstly answer yourself a question before you start your two or three logo drawings. Then figure out which two or three logo’s that you're going to pick.

Secondly pick two, best logo’s that you've drawn and write a paragraph, what it makes it your favourite. After that ask yourself some few questions.

Last of all use two of your favourite drawings to make a digital drawing on the Hyper Studio. Also this has to be something representing yourselves, or something about your culture.

Finally after making your digital drawing on Hyper Studio save it as a jpeg then email it to Finau. So she can print it out for you so you can see how it looks on paper.

Cross Country Recount

So our Literacy Class has been working on Recount today because we are starting our writing test next term so "Good Luck" to us! Hope You Like My Recount ;)

Firstly, The year 7 girls lined up to get ready to walk onto the field where our track was. I was so nervous when we got to the track and Mr Burt told us to line up in one line.

Then, Mr Burt yelled out “On Your Mark” “Get Set” “BANG”. Then everyone started running and sprinting all the way to where the gate was. When we got to the gate we started jogging slower.

After that, we almost got to the other side of the finish line. So we started sprinting all the way to the rugby goal. Then we stopped running and then we heard Mr Burt Slammed the Block then the year 6 girls started running when they got to us we ran with.

Finally, we nearly got to the finish line. So we sprinted all the way to the finished line. After we were done and proud of ourselves. So we walked over to the table and grabbed a cup of water.

After that we were so proud of ourselves that we finished the Cross Country run. Then we all “Hi Fived” each other for finishing the Cross Country run.
