My Year in Room 19

This year I have been in Room 19 and that's the best class ever. Being in Room 19 has been great. I have enjoyed it this year. This is the last week of school.

lets it go with the flow. Sometime we can make her mad and we all get sacred, but Ms Tito is the best teacher.

It's my last year at Point England School. It's pretty sad because I don't want to leave this nice school. Saying goodbye to all my friends is kind of Ok. But I will miss all the teacher and helpers.

What I want for next year is to have good friends at collage and hope the teachers are cool and I can't wait till I go college.

Reflection

My netbook connect to the internet this year is great. The internet has help me on YouTube because I have learnt on YouTube how to install Mods for my games which I didn't know how to. 

And the internet has made thing faster to do because of our netbook it faster cause we don't need to use I our book we can just go on our netbook and do it. And I have learnt on my netbook that Rotorua smell like egg from searching it up on Google.    

My special thing that I have learnt with my teacher is learn Te Reo Maori. The thing is if you don't really know it you can just go on the teams website you can just learn it.

With my friends I have learnt from them how to play games and they have show me on my netbook how to do stuff and they help me on my netbook. The thing about friends is that they always help me. Managing myself on my netbook is sometime hard because I go off track sometime.

Movie Reflection

Our movie was based on love. We did love in Maori and which is spell Te Aroha, The movie is about a boy that writes Te Aroha all over the school but people take it off. So the boy keep's writing up Te Aroha and so the same thing keep's happening. One day the boy woke up and he think about Te Aroha...... Then bang he got it. He tattoo's it on he's arm and then it stay their forever and ever.

If I Were Black

HURRY UP CLEVELAND MUM AND DAD ARE WAY UP AHEAD,” I yelled. I hoisted Cleveland onto my shoulders and rushed through the crowd to find mum and dad. They were holding up some signs saying, “Equality for Blacks”. We finally found them halfway through the chanting groups of black and white people. While we marched, me and my little brother Cleveland were chanting with pride and hope.

My name is Omar. The year was 1963 and we were in Washington D.C. marching to make things equal between the black and white people. When we reached the Lincoln Memorial the march was over. Everyone gathered round eager to hear what Martin Luther King had to say

“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream,”Martin Luther King’s voice was loud and clear speaking out to the crowd of thousands. He was very inspiring.

Minecraft

Mine Craft is a game that you can build whatever you want whenever you want. There are some things like Zombies, Creepers and Skeletons with a bow and arrow and a cave spider. It is so far the most popular game on a computer. There is a website that you can go on and its called www.minecraft.net.

I spend about 10-15 minutes on it. It is cool because I learn a lot of new things while i’m playing it. It is enjoyable and my brothers and I love to play it. You should buy it and they play and you will maybe like it. Have a Mine craft day

The Prospective Student

Three Little Evil Pigs

Once upon a time there were three evil little pigs and a big good wolf. The three pigs owned houses. A straw house (the littlest pig’s) a hay house (medium pig’s) and a brick house (largest pig’s house).

One day the smallest pig tried to set the wolf up by telling him to come in and to blow down his hay house. The pig said it was to old and it needed to come down. But really the pig planned to set him up so that he would get the insurance. In one big blow to  the hay house it was flattened to pieces.  

Next the little pig took him to his brother’s house made out of sticks.The little pig secretly told his older brother all about his plans to get insurance. Then the pigs told him to blow the stick house down to because it was old and broken. So the wolf huffed and puffed and blew his house down.  

When he was done blowing down his house the brothers took the wolf to their oldest pigs brick house.When they got there they told the oldest pig their plan to get insurance. All the brothers told the wolf to go and blow it down so the wolf huffed and puffed and blew and blew and blew but the house didn’t fall down.

The pigs got so angry that they decided to invite the wolf inside the brick house, murder him and burn down the house. Their plan was to say it was the wolf that did it and that they only killed him because he tried to kill them.

So they did it and that was the end of that.

Training for the fun run

This term we have been running 2k's around the Point  England reserve. So far my personal time is 10.52 second's . I have really enjoyed the Fun run because It make you fit & gets you ready for the 5k that we are doing at the end of the term.  I can't wait till the fun run start 

league practise

On Thursday we go out to the field or hall for league practise it is really cool. We've been learning how to do to kicks grubber kick and punt, also learn how to catch the ball. We play games before a practise session every time we go.

I have been enjoying the fitness and games we've been doing for the last few weeks. I can not wait until this Thursday coming up.

Math Whizz

I like Math Whizz because it is fun and it's helping me with multiplication and other stuff. The last thing I did on Math Whizz was about Time. You have to move the arrow's around and you have to copy what was on the timer. 

The thing I like about Math Whizz is when you Finnish a task on Math Whizz you get money and with that money you can go to the Whizz shop and buy yourselves pets or toys for your bedroom but it's not a normal room its a virtual room.

   

Will.i.am

He presented the Manaiakalani Education Trust with a check for $100 000 to put towards learning! This money will be shared between the schools in the Manaiakalani cluster and help us to become more and more clever in this digital world!! We are so thankful

Fiafia 2013

For the past 5 week we have been practicing for Fiafia. An on the 18th on Thursday we are going to do the haka in front of all our family and friend.

I'm in the kapa haka group, we have little kids in our group and they are going to sing with us at the end and their teacher is Ms Tito.

We practise in the library, But sometime it get hot and that we have to go outside and go under the tree and practise. My group is cool because I got all my best friends and we got the best Maori teacher and her name is whaea Sophie.

We practice after lunch time at two o'clock. I like going to kapa haka because my friend and I go hard out when we do the haka and when we sings. After we finish sing and doing the haka we have a break and we get back into it. At three O'clock we go back to class and go home    

Harakeke

Last week my class and I walked down to the Omaru Creek. We went there to go and pick some harakeke (flax) and to learn about the flax and what to do and how to cut the flax.

First we had to sit down and then Miss T our teacher said to the class what to do and what not to do. She said to us you never take the one in the middle.  The child (middle one), parents (first one on either side) and if you cut them the whole plant dies.  She said never cut them at night and when it raining (you never cut then at night because you will not know which one is the baby, mother and father).  So after that Miss T gave us a sharp knife and then we had to get into partners.

My partner was Richard. We Got a good piece of flax for the two of us and it was big. Then when all of the class had their flax, Miss T said to us to line up and walk back to school and sit down and wait. Miss T said to get into a big circle. Then we started to make our a flower out of the harakeke and some of us finished and some of us didn't. But it was fun and I hope we do it again.

Tuakana\Teina ( Big brother of Sister or Little brother and Little Sister

For the past few week room 19 have been to the school library and little students from room 9 have been coming reading to us. So far these past week I have enjoyed and so has my partner and his name is Bobby John his nickname is BJ. BJ doesn't like reading but I encourage him to read, He always stops & waits for me to tell him the word, I would suggest telling him to sound it out , but that doesn't happen. He likes really easy books that toddlers read. I laugh but at the same time that doesn't help him with his reading. When he gets older I hope he's going to be a good reader.

Learning about honesty

What is Honesty? This year Pt England School is learning to be “ Better together” Kia pia te kotahi”. In room 19 we have been investigating Love, compassion, honesty Learning about Compassion and tolerance. Ms titio (our teacher) gave us a task to select one of these words to write a definition and present an example of what it means to our class. The reason we are learning about these things are to help us understand ourselves and others so we can be a better person today and in the future.
