Term 1 Reflection

Term 1 Reflection 2014

My highlights this term would have to be... Making it into sports like softball. Nearly every year I have been in the softball team. It’s cool going to the tournaments and making it to the champs.

I have made improvements/progress in…….Maths and writing. XtraMaths is an online program that helps with your basic facts and also gives you 3 seconds to answer. I am now down to 2 seconds to answer.

I know this because I have been focussing on improving my maths.

I still need to work hard to improve my reading.

I know this because I haven’t been reading enough lately.

I am most proud of my efforts to behave in class properly.

My 3 main goals for Term 2 will be:

1. Improve in my reading.

2. behaving properly.

3. finishing off work each week.

Fia Fia Reflection

Fia Fia was fantastic!

Well on Wednesday the 9th of April Pt England School had made an concert that's called Fia Fia. There are heaps of culture groups, Singing groups and all sorts. I was surprised to see food stores and drinks, For an refreshment I had a toffee apple and a drink. 

Very soon about 10 minutes we are going to go to get changed and ready. I am in the niuean group that does the haka and different performances. Gelling my hair and putting on my sisi I got to take selfies of my mates & I. There were so much Parents, Adults and kids in the crowd and also my family. 

When It was our group to get up and head to the stage I wasn't confident enough to perform in front of so much people. I was trying and trying to stay focus to the dance but yes I did . My highlight was staying focus and listing to the the coach. This was the most time I got to hang with my mates and eat alot.

Ever sense I came to this school I think this is the third or fourth Fia Fia, I have been in the kapa haka group, Unicycling and the niuen group.

The Five lonely Minions

Once upon a time there were five lonely minions that were very short and never got along with anyone. They lived in Israel In a temple that was dangerous with hidden explosives and dynamite. Their special talent’s were money, Video games and creating games. One of the minion’s were good to girl’s and with others.

Their problem where they lived in a Temple and there were about thousand of minion’s but two years later 95% of them died by traps in the Temple. The reason why the minion’s were sad was because most of the minion’s friends and parents are dead.

The One only minion that was kind to girls and others had met a girl that was lovely, Beautiful and pretty. One day after the funeral the minion got married and lived in the temple until a year later they moved to a mansion. Two years after they had kids. There were about two thousand kids that were born and they brought a mansion for their kids to live in.

What Is Snapchat?

What Is Snapchat?

Snapchat Is an app that Is on the play store. This is suitable for  touch  phones, Tablets, Computers and any other device. Snapchat, You have to have a camera to get this app otherwise you can’t get it. Snapchat Is taking a photo and write an message on It. I like that you can send images from around  the world to your friends that you haven’t seen yet, To your family or any one that you know.

For an example If It was my first time to click on snapchat it will show, Login and Sign up. To sign up you will have to add your gmail account and a password to make an account. This is not an offline app if any one is wondering.

You can share to more than ten people around the world, I like sending snaps to my friends when I got nothing to do. I don't know If this app is available for old touch phones, But it is easy to send messages.

You can also draw things on an image, Different colours but not that much

Swimarama Pools

I got some good news that I am aloud to go somewhere with my friends. My friends and I travelled to the pools to have a swim, As we walked In some of us had enough money to get a slide band. I was surprised that the water slide closes at 4:00PM, Even though we arrived at 1:00PM. All of my mates got shouted to get a band each from an old man. I usually See this Old man every Sunday.

The warm pool was relaxing and quiet, But too much noise. As It was getting noisier my friends and I went to the slide. Blazing down the watery slide one at a time The bumps were smashing my back and leaving a red mark. Meeting one of my old mates, Lorenzo was a  pleasure to play with. One of the life guards said” Today is the last day for the outside cold pool”.

I don’t think The cold pool is going to be down until next summer. As I went on the slide this time some of my mates went behind me at the same time then we got a warning when went came down. The best thing I done so far was speeding down the slide.

The music that was playing out side was girly songs that none of the boys liked. So I played mine as loud as I want. Logan, Lukis, Isiah, Frankie, Lorenzo and I decided  to go down at once, All I can hear was screaming and a unlikely noise behind me.

Sports At Tamaki College

Sports at Tamaki!!

Tamaki college has invited three Classes from pt England to play sports with them. Tamaki college is located in Glen Innes in Auckland. Maori and polynesian student are mostly like to go to Tamaki college. Its good also to lose weight, avoid diabetes and to get healthier. it is held behind the Recreation centre, when we met the breakers we went there. Students at Tamaki always see us playing outside, while there inside.

Why do we go to Tamaki college for? We go there to get fit and learn new activities. participating at Tamaki is cool because we get a break from class like maths, Writing and literacy. We go Tamaki every Friday for sports. Its good for Fitness and having fun with your friends and exercising and getting out of the classroom.

After morning tea we headed down to Tamaki college for sports. It was a pleasure to play with any one but not everyone .first, we split into 7 groups of 10, and then we got sent to different activities. We got a variety of activities Like the High Jump, Obstacle course, Chain tag and Trust fall. My favourite activity that I've experienced is the rope jump. We split up Into two groups, Then we have to help every one over before five minutes.

In my group The tutors are (boys) there year 12’s. The activity was the rope jump, The rope jump is like high jump but there is not a mat to land on. It was a fun activity that I have experienced so far. Last weeks activity was the trust fall, The trust fall was an unbelievable activity.

Cyclone Lusi

What Is a Cyclone? A cyclone Is like a Tornado but a bit different. Strong winds and heavy rains are part of what happens during a cyclone. I heard there was a cyclone that hit Auckland this weekend but it was not as severe as expected. There was only Heavy rain and heavy winds. It happen last weekend that was on Saturday and Sunday.

After school the wind was not as strong but the wind started to pick up. As I was sleeping 2:00 clock in the morning I seen Lot’s of debris through my window that was carrying around heaps of rubbish.

In the city the waves are higher than before. Boats are moving unexpectedly but I can't believe that people are jumping or the wolf. I really thought there will be trees flying, Cars moving and a debris of junk.

In the city the waves were outrages and coming onto land underground parking was full of water. It was crazy I saw lot’s of surfer out on the beach catching the waves surfing along on the beach. It was out of hand we had to stay in side. most hour the rain and winds would stop and then continue raining and blowing heavy winds.

Cyclone Lusi makes a very huge mess that bust things unusually.   After the cyclone was gone the rain, winds and clouds disappeared and t like nothing had ever happened. Cyclone Lusi was not as severe as it was said on the news. Now the cyclone has moved on to the south island living broken trees, houses and cars.
