Halloween!!!

2011-11-01T14:10:00.010+13:00

On the 31st of October at night was so spooky because my cousin and I went and took Brianna and Jezebel my step sister Trick or treating. Once they knocked on the first door there were lots of spiders and webs hanging around the trees and plants, as soon as the door opened a man jumped out and said boo! and they got a big fright.

When they got there lollies they said 'Thank you' we went to other house's. Then it was getting dark after Brianna and Jezebel went to the next house and said "Trick or treat" then the lady said the 'whats the trick' and they said "Why wasn't there any food left after the monster party?" and she said I don't know "how?", "Because everyone was a goblin!" and they laughed and laughed.

At the end of that night, it was a fun night I said to Brianna and Jezebel "did you guys have fun", they said "Yes!". Then we went home happy.

Logical Thinking!!!

2011-10-26T10:22:00.007+13:00

This Morning our class Room 22 did something different. We got into groups of three's. In my group there names are Victoria,Amos and me. Then got 5 green cards and 1 yellow card, the green one stands for the items and the yellow one stands for the problem. The items that we had was the fishing hook, reel cotton,pin,fishing rod,peg and the problem was How could you have the best birthday in the world.

This is how we solved it to go fishing use the fishing rod and put the hook on it. Make a cotton t-shit for the fish,use the pin to hold the t-shit together then hang the fish with the peg. 'BUT' we failed!!

For the last few weeks

2011-10-05T10:51:00.005+13:00

For the last few weeks we’ve been busy because there has been are production for the Intermediate students. The rest of the class that are not in the production have been moving from place to place.

We have been painting mask’s, glue bits together like gluing the teeth or the lips. Then we cut out some strips to stick on the mask so it can be the hair.

I cant wait to see the whole preferment's, I bet it’s going to be awesome and i cant wait to see the mask glowing in the dark.

Mrs Richards And The knitting Circle

2011-09-20T10:02:00.014+12:00

For the last 6 weeks we have had a student teacher that wanted to become a teacher like Ms Tito. Her name is Mrs Richards. She told us a lot of things about her self and that she loved knitting. She even made a knitting club,which i joined, First we went on the floor and Mrs Richards was explaining what we going to be doing in knitting. Then she gave us a knitting needle and then started casting on some stitches. Its pretty hard knitting because when you knit your stitches it comes off and you end up with a hole in your scarf.

Black Out Day....

2011-09-09T11:44:00.003+12:00

Congratulation Year 8 Boys

2011-09-05T14:07:00.022+12:00

On Sunday our year 8 boys went to Tauranga to played in the sevens rugby tournament . They went for 1 week and came back on Friday night 6:45 pm. There were 32 rugby teams that were there competing. They played 12 games and won all 12 games.

Pt England rugby boys played their first game against Cambridge school and won by 38-5. Mr Burt made an announcement that they have won their first game and will be playing their 2nd game and hoping that they will win.

I was very proud of our Year 8 boys . My favorite part was when they walked in like champions and Jonty was holding the trophy in his hand. I felt like our school was famous.

Water Fight

2011-08-31T10:30:00.005+12:00

“Yey!” Water fight as I ran and got change, When I got back we had to line up into two lines then we started to walk down to the bottom Field and sat down to wait for miss Tito to tell us what to do. Then she said to Henry “please give me your shoes” to make a square and find a place to sit the we had to face the other way and don’t look back. There were to other people standing at the back holding the slingshot as Miss Tito called 1 person by person to come and shot 1 water balloon.

After that Miss Tito told us two stand up and come and get a water balloon and go find a space to
get ready to through the water balloon at some one. I through it at Cael and she through it at me it felt so cool.

Having a water fight is a very fun idea. It felt like I wanted to go for a swim. But is was a Sunny day. My favorite part of the day was when we had to run around thoroughgoing the balloon at people. And I hope we have it again.

Rugby League Session

2011-06-23T10:32:00.006+12:00

On Wednesday 22nd of June Rm22 went on the courts to have Rugby League session with Sio Siua Taukeiaho. Sio Siua Taukeiaho plays for the 2011 Vodafone Junior Warriors Squad.

Once we got to the courts our teacher put us into four groups lining up behind one other. Our first game was called in and out. What you had to do in this game was try run as fast as you can from one side of the court to the other side. The first person in your group that comes back first and sitting down wins.

The second game was called kick tennis. What you had to do was try kick the ball for the other group to try couch if you run away from the ball your out if kick it to high or low your out .

What I liked about our rugby session was is how you have to kick the ball and the other team has to couch it. I really enjoy playing rugby league I cant wait till next time.

Science Roadshow

2011-06-16T10:20:00.004+12:00

On the 9th of June the y7s & 8s went to Tamaki College's Science Roadshow.There were different themes like senses, heat, light and sound . When we got in the gate there were some classes already there. As soon we got in the hall there were two scientists there we did some experiments with purple liquid it went bubbly.

We got set off to go see some more experiments. I liked the one where you turn on the light you can see a skeleton and when you turn it off it’s gone. There was a heat experiments that you have to rub your hands together then put your hands on glass bowl and it goes up this tube to the other glass bowl.

At the Science Roadshow I had a great time there because my favourite experiments was when you sit in this chair and you pull this chain. Hopefully i get to go next time.

The Design Process

2011-06-08T12:36:00.003+12:00

In room 22 we were going through the Design process to design a sign so that the New Entrance to seniors can all understand. We've been through the design the process step by step to help us. The steps were Identify needs, Research, Generate ideas, Find solutions, Reflect and Evaluate.

The next step was to research on Internet for some images. When we had found our images about the sign of on Internet.The images that we have found gave a really good idea to make my sign more interesting.

Generating ideas for a sign is important because.... if one idea doesn't work and the other does and have more information then you have to use it. And it's part of the design process, and it can help you get more creative ideas. I think lots of kids from 5 to upwards will understand. I feel proud of my design.

Swimming

2011-06-08T10:03:00.003+12:00

For the last 2 weeks the y7s & 8s have been doing swimming lessons at lunch time at the Glen Innes swimming pools. If you were wondering why are we swimming its because we need to learn how to swim in life. Someone like me get lost out in the ocean and if I cant swim I might drown.

I was in Miss Dempster’s group and we did some actives like kicking the water with the board between my legs. Its was a little bit tricky to do because the board kept coming shooting up from the water. But it was also fun to do free style and have free time.

Next year I will be looking forward be a great swimmer and I also liked being in Miss Dempster’s group she is fun.

Netball Session 1

2011-05-19T10:34:00.003+12:00

Last Thursday room 22 went out on the netball courts to have our first netball session. Our netball coach is Emma she is from Auckland Netball. The first thing Emma told us to do was stand up along the yellow line. Then she asked us a Question "Who knows what dynamic stretches are?". There were ONLY two people that put up their hands. Then Emma showed us how two do high-knees, grapevine and butt-flick. When I was doing grapevine it was a little bit tricky to do because I didn't know how to do it. When we learnt all our netball skills we played a game of corner ball. It was sort of like netball but the goal was in the corner of the courts. I was in the bibs team and we were versing non-bibs and our team won.

Taonga Time

2011-05-18T14:09:00.006+12:00

Every Friday the y7 & y8 students go for an half an hour to Taonga time. Taonga time is a Maori word that means treasure.

We get split up into groups and we do all kinds of different things. Some of us go with Mr Barks to team building and some go with Miss Tito to Kapa Haka other things you can do is science and music. I’m with Miss V and we do sports. This week we had a look at Miss V rugby cards. The cards have instructions that shows you how to do a drop kick.

I like sports because you get to have fresh air and get to have fun. I wish i was in science instead of going to sports.

My Creative Name

2011-05-10T10:20:00.017+12:00

The y8 & y7 student have been leaning about creativity for the last two weeks. Creativity involve art, skills and using your own ideas like doing something different like no one has made it before. We were given task to do was creative, so we needed to find creative letter off Internet to make our name.

Fiafia Night Was Awesome!

2010-10-29T12:23:00.001+13:00

Through out the last few weeks of term 3 we had been practicing for our FiaFia night. We had all ready sorted out our clothes for the night.

Soon it was Thursday everybody went into their holding rooms to have one last practice. The Niuean group were all excited about putting on their costumes.

On the night the hall was packed up with lots of people. We all came in and put on our costumes. So when we go we all ready to go on the stage.

As we went on the stage there were lots of people cheering for us and some adults came and put money on us.

I was so amazed when we got on the stage and performed. Everybody was shouting and cheering. I was also surprised I had $25.00 and had to give it to the school, to help us get school stuff. It was my first and best Fiafia ever.

Maritime Muesum

2010-08-18T14:49:00.009+12:00

The Year 7 students went on a trip to Martitime Muesum.

First we all went to have morning tea. Then we went on the Ted Ashby boat I started to shiver. There was a very cold wind which blew my hair across my face. As we headed out on the sea, we went under the harbour bridge. We tugged and hauled with all our might pulling the rope so the boat can go faster.
As it started to rain some of us wore our big bright yellow rain coats.

Saying our Goodbyes and Wishes

2010-07-23T12:44:00.004+12:00

Last Saturday my grandpa’s sister came over to sleep with us because she was going back to Niue with my cousin. We had a bbq for them our whole family was coming too it was exciting.

My grandpa gave his sister a big torch light and some batteries for when she goes out hunting for crayfish in the sea, at night. Then next time she comes back I hope she will bring some for us.

Why can't we have our own Pool?

2010-05-20T12:42:00.005+12:00

Why can't Pt England school have their own pool?

Dear Mr Burt

Why can't we have our own pool? So nobody doesn't have to pay for the Glen Innes pools. Then we choose where we are going to put the pool. It will be a really good idea.

Getting our own pool for next year will be awesome so we don't need to walk down and up every day for term 4 and term 1 too. Pools at school will be great so who ever is paying for our fees at Glenn Innes Communities Pools now they don't need to. It will be fun for all of our school.
