The last week of the term

2011-10-05T15:04:00.001+13:00

“Yess” as i whispered to myself “Its almost the production and also the end of the term”

past this week students from class 19 to 22 have been gathering in room 22 to finish off the last parts of there costumes. Me and a few of my class mates have been sent to Mrs Nua’s class so that we don’t distract or disturb the dancers for the production. For 3 days from Tuesday Point England School has been putting on a production to entertain people in the community.

In Mrs Nua’s class our instruction was to do a blog post about the recent teams that have been playing in the rugby world cup games or about rugby players. I wrote about the magnificent player Jonah Lomu and all the games he has played. I’ve found out that Jonah Lomu is one of the most successful players ever in the world.

Tonight the first production will be at Point England School in the hall. I couldn’t wait until the production was going to start. This week is the last for the term our school. I am so excited to wait for the holidays.

This term I really felt disapointed in myself because I have’nt been doing good in my work. But I feel proud because of my behavior around the school. Next term i’m hoping to make that term perfect for myself.

Badminton

2011-08-17T09:59:00.003+12:00

Two weeks ago we were invited to take a few lesson’s of badminton. The instructor that was teaching us came from the Auckland Badminton Club. Our instruction’s we were given were to grab one of the racket and made a circle around the hall.

The first lesson we were going to do for the day was to control the movement of the shuttle.

Once we made a circle around the bin we all grabbed five shuttles each and went back to our circle. Laureen our instructor told us to try and hit every shuttle in to the bin. “Yes” screamed people whacking shuttles in to the bin. We only scored one point but on the second game we scored six points and won. The second lesson we learnt was some tricks with our racket.

Our third lesson was for two people in a group so we all paired up. Once we had our groups one of the people in your groups has to grab a cone and the other has to grab a shuttle and a racket. The person that has the racket has to hit the shuttle in the air and the person with the cone has to catch it and make the shuttle land in the cone.

Our forth activity we done was to have a game with our partners in our groups. We had to try and have a game with out making the shuttle hit the ground. “dam” playing badminton was pretty hard but we tried our best.

I really had fun. I really cant wait to have another try at badminton.

Design Process for furniture.

2011-07-13T10:29:00.001+12:00

Design Process
:Designing Furniture

A few weeks ago room 22 have been identifying problems around the street. One of the main problems we are working on now is the furniture in our street. The reason why we choose furniture is because we would really like a little place where we can relaxe and do our work in a quite place near our class.

Everyone in my class have been researching ideas for different kind of furniture such as couch’s(to sit on), hangers(for bags), Tables (to put our net books on while we are working) and shelves(to put our shoes on).

We will be visualizing and modifying where and when we will be creating the perfect place for our class. But first we will need to research different idea’s and then create prototype’s of what we will be making. You can be in a group of 2(max) or either work by your self.

We have 3 weeks to complete out task. On the first week we will be needing to be finishing finding different ideas. For the second week we will be needing to measure the approximate measurements for the length and width for our prototype of out design. And on the final week we would have finish our prototype.

Once we finish our prototype we need to evaluate and reflect on our design. We might need to modify and adjust the length and hight or we might need to change the shape and be creative. For an example i changed my table holder because if i made a straight holder it wouldn't of held the base of my table.

Rugby League Session Slideshow

2011-07-07T10:10:00.004+12:00

A few weeks ago room 22 was invited to attended some rugby league sessions.

Rugby League Session.

2011-06-23T10:05:00.014+12:00

Yesturday our class went out for a cool session of league. The time was 10:00am and we all had to get dressed to go out and have some fun. So we lined up and walked to the junior court.
Sio Siua Taukeiaho(Our coach) put us in four even groups.
Once we were put in to those groups we all had to line up in a straight line and sit behind a cone. Once we were all seated we had a relay to see what team can come first. “Ready set go” Siua shouted out. The first person in our group ran around the cones then sprinted back. “No” Shouted our team we had lose Team 4 came first.”Ohhh” Shouted everyone as siua said that the race was only a practise. An adrenaline rush pumped throw my vanes to come first in the relay. We had two more games to play the second game we played was the same as the first relay we done but it was different. Our team mates were the cones so we had to run around each person then sprint back to the finish line.

Science Roadshow

2011-06-16T10:19:00.003+12:00

Science Roadshow...

On Thursday the 9th we attended the science roadshow at Tamaki college. Once we entered the hall there were two scientists waiting to assist us through the process of exhibits. They showed us about our senses such as our touch,taste,smell,sound and our eyes.

After learning about our senses we all got to roam and test out the amazing inventions that we're set out around the hall. There were different kind of topics that explained each invention such as detection(radiation), heat(colour,fire), communication(phones), levers, gears, inclined planes(piano, metal detector), sound(bird songs), quirky curiosities(skeleton).

So heres a picture of one of the things i liked.

Swimming Lesson's

2011-06-09T12:56:00.002+12:00

Every Day for two weeks at approximately 1:15p.m. Team 5 have been learning how to swim at our local pools Glenn Innes.
We learned this in case there is an emergency that involves us at sea. We have been taking lessons of what to do at sea in case something bad happens such as drowning from walling off a boat. We mostly learnt freestyle.

Ms Tito gave us a challenge. The challenge was that we have to swim back and forth for 600meters with out touching the ground it was a difficult task but most of the students succeeded.

I really like swimming because its fun and active for every age. Next year I am hoping to attend swimming again.

Here is were we swim.

Taonga Time.....

2011-05-20T11:51:00.009+12:00

Every Friday the Year seven and eight classes have a special Friday called Taonga time. In each class the teacher has a different passion that they share with others. For example my teacher (Ms Tito) is very passionate about Kapa Haka.

The Taonga group I’m in is Science with Mr Harris in Room 19. We learnt how to make different coloured goo with corn flour and water. I think that the Science class is pretty interesting because we learn different things.

There are also different groups such as Maori, Kapa Haka, Science, ICT, Sport, Music and Team Building. Each class we go in ,we learn about cool and fascinating things.

Heres a picture of what we used in our first experiment

Creative name!

2011-05-05T12:45:00.011+12:00

Creativity comes from the word create. It means someone who has been thinking before creating something that doesn't already exist. Creativity is a thinking skill. So this is my entry for my most creative name do you think this is creative or not?

Term 1 Reflection

2011-05-05T09:26:00.006+12:00

One of the things I was pleased about last term was my reading. In my report I obtained good results for my working habits, behaviour and academic progress. I feel proud of myself so does my family.

The thing I will be improving on is my art work. In my report my overall mark for art was below expectations. I will also need to manage my time during art because i always get distracted in doing something else when i was suppose to be finishing and managing my time in art.

My highlight for last term was writing. One of the things I improved on the most was writing. Last year for my writing was disappointing because writing was my worst subject but now I think I made a good change during writing i scored a good overall mark in my writing.

These are my results shown below:

Superb Sentence.

2011-04-06T11:05:00.002+12:00

We were in luck so we grabbed as much food we could eat we brought lollies,chips,chocolate and drinks we gazed in to our cheers and suddenly the lights went down and was getting darker and darker , the screen started and the name of the movie we were watching was called “the last Airbeneder”

Camp Kindness!

2010-03-29T11:48:00.005+13:00

As the frosty morning began to fad away the horizon Raised . I heared my alarm go off ''Arch'' I hit my head ''Ding Dong '' I ran to the door and saw how was there ''Hello ow it's you hi is your mum or your guardian here'' Yes my mums just sleeping why ''I need to talk to her'' OK'' so I ran to my Bedroom and got dressed ''ow No'' I'm late for camp I went to the clock and it was only 7:10am so I got my mum and told her there's a man waiting for her and Sprinted about the door ''OK'' when I walked past some peoples houses I saw same Ptengland people still asleep then I ran pass the Field and saw Mr Jacobson setting the tents out only a few people were there like me and some other people from our Year 7 students. When I was walking around I went to the teachers and asked if they needed any help with the Tents. And they said yes so I had taken off my bag and grabbed one of the hammers and smashed one of the pegs in. When I did that it felt good because I Finlay got to do something with my Teachers. As I was done doing one tent I moved on to the next one and the next and the next and finally got to do the last one.

We had to sleep in a Marque I was amazed this was my second time sleeping in a Marque these are amazing things but at night they are really cold in there because the last time I sleep-ed in there I felt really numb and I could put and needle thought my body.and was really freezing at night even the teachers were really cold I was laughing to because they had to stay up all night but that was really sad you know mostly all the boys were making lots of noise for the teachers but the girls were really Quiet and so Miss T go an good sleep as well as Miss Nua got asleep to so I gazed in to m sleep.........

When the morning came I woke up and everyone said'' GOOD MORNING MISS NUA WOO'' I did't know that because everyone woke me up and I got changed in my day clothes. When I finished getting changed I said to my Friend wake up but he said I'm to tiered to so I got my shoes and sock's on and started to get my day pack ready for an awesome day ahead of me. When everyone got up I was ready to do JUMP JAM YES as the music was playing it was a great because everyone was up and ready. But some of the Year 7 students were not ready . So Miss Nua went to go and wake them up. Most of the people were still asleep but I was wide awake and still more noise and noise was Vibrating through my ears and was really noisy.

When the morning came my body was freezing but I got up went for a jog and got back and got dressed and went to do JUMP JAM again but this time it was really Special ''SURPRISE'' for all of us some of the songs were old but Miss T got some new songs out that all the Year 6 had been doing for us Last year there was some movement for your hole body to do like energy song that's a song when you have to us your hands,body,arms, and your wast but the song I like is the same that everyone has to do it like most people I mean Miss T and Miss Nua but i have to go and do it in the front like some Seniors but me I was at the back with everyone else how was there like SAM and henkli and Miss Nua was in the front with some Seniors. I was awesome because all the people that woke up Early could heir everyone wake up and we all said ''GOOD MORNING MISS NUA''. during the day we had cool events and the dunk-er was the best because when the people who through the ball and hit the target will make the people on top of the dunk-er fall down but there was Archery, Log joust and what I was talking about the Dunk-er. The first activity I went on was the Log Joust it's when Two people have to pick any weapon that has an cosh-en in side it and you have to get your helmet and your shield but there's one main weapon were you have to not us your shield but you still us your helmet. The rules are your not allowed to hit above the wast and you have to hit there Thieu to there legs. The best place to hit is the legs because when you hit the legs your opponent will automatically fall and you will win ''BUT'' there's three matches pair person. The Archery is when you have to us an Bow-arrow and hit the balloon for five points. There is one main thing that your hole groups got to do they have to look after the buddy that the reef gives you. It is an orange balloon it is Worth about an 150 points for your hole group. When your hole team has done all three activity's you have to give your points to the reef and then do your chair in an circle. Once your team has do the chair the reef will say how won and then they get an bag of chocolate.

On the same day as that we all have our camp conceit it was awesome because every Year 6 was preforming i was amazed because they were so talented but the Year 7 where doing an MTV show once everyone had done there stuff we moved on and moved on and moved on. Some of the Year 6 were Shy but some of them wanted to show there really talent it was to believe in them self and show the people who they really are.

once the last day had came we all gathered together and said a pray. Mrs Burt said it for all of the Year6 and 7 that were camping. And then we had a really good day at swimarama it was cool everyone was there i was going to dive but the lifeguard said no you can not do that or boom in the pool so I got in the big and freezing pool and had a really good swim with all of my friends and family that were. After that we had our morning tea, Then had another swim I went on the hydra slide about a billion times then had lunch then we all got dressed and went back to school to get all of our stuff we need to go home. Once everyone had done that we had one more pray then we had to wait for one of our family members to pick us all up and then we had to get our clothes and say good bye to all the teachers and helpers that were helping us and all year seven's had been talking with there mother because to say what they'v been good role modules.

Treaty of the waitangi

2010-02-10T14:39:00.009+13:00

James Busby.Born in Scotland in 1802 he was twenty two when he moved to Australia where he started a grape-growing business and then worked for the Government. After a while he went back to England and the British Government were impressed with all he seemed to know about what was happening in Aotearoa. Even though he had never been there, They chose him as the person to go and solve the problems

Busby had a difficult time trying to make everybody behave. There were no police and nobody took much notice of him. So he decided that one solution would be for Moria rangatira* to take responsibility for law and order.Hes part of the treaty was he wanted the Moria to take responsibility for law and order....This was my writing about James Busby
