First day of school.

Its a new year and i had returned back to school as a year 8, This year for 2012 I am in the class Room 19 of Mr Harris. On the first day us students worked on a worksheet that wanted us to be seated comfortable with. After that we did another paper work and it was the Treaty of Whaitangi. What i learnt on that sheet was the signing , Queen Victoria and other facts. Once we finished that we played a mini game of hangman. It was really difficult figuring out the words but atleast we had fun. What a new start to the year.

The Year 8's Farewell

For there last farewell I would like to say "You've been a really good help, I'm going to miss you guys from your exotic drama's and your loyalty to our school, Thank you for a good time you've had with some of the year 7's, And Thank you for making our school FUN and SPECTACULAR"

I hope you have a good time at college.

Tangata Pasifika

It was a shock getting our class picked to be on " Tagata Pasifika ". When i just heard i was nervous because i might get the tinglies & dont even know what to say in front of the camera.

When they came in they had first introduced themselves & the one that first introduced themselves was "Okensene". Okesene was the one that comes up to us & says "Whats it to you about Christmas" my first explanation to that question was "getting the whole entire family on to the table and getting to know eachother very well".

Once they were going through all the students in our class they had gotten all the footage that they needed & they said "all there fortage will be on Tagata Pasifika channel one & said there last farewells & left.

That was a thrilling morning with the show "Tagata Pasifika".

My Reflection About My Netbook

It was the first year for the year 5's & up to spend alot of time on their netbooks. On the 2nd term we were given an opportunity to take our netbooks home so we can finish unfinished work or work on our homework progress.

What i like most about the netbooks is that we dont usually get sore hands after typing into our docs.

Comparing our learning from last year to this year has really changed by how many hours it take to write in our stationary when it takes at least some minutes to type on our netbooks a full 3 or more paragraphs.

It was really tempting getting our own netbooks.

From the past holidays.

Preparing for the last past weeks my aunt and I had went to Sylvia Park to goto the movies. Once we got there our movie we were going to watch had been sold out so we watched a other movie named "The Smurfs". Standing at the counter waiting for a big bucket of popcorn, a delicious chocolate ice-cream and a large drink of coke I saw the game section waiting for me to play on but technically, my aunt wouldn't give me any money so I had just stand there and stared. Finaly it was time to head out to our movie and as I saw we had sat'n in front of the thetre, sitting on bean-bags and looking up onto a big screen and that I was grabbing a big chunk of popcorn.

Once the movie had started it was uncomfortable sitting on the bean-bags so I couldn't be bothered resting peacefully on the floor. When the movie had finally finished, My aunt and I had ran out the door as quickly as possible so no-one would have noticed we made a big mess with the popcorn all over the ground.

It was a really interesting day/night for us.

Our Thinking skill activity.

In the middle of the morning us students, Room 22, had done a thinking skill for our activity for the day. To do this activity we had to be in groups of 3 and to be given 5 green items on a card and so in our group our items was: a Hair Brush, a Video Tape, a Lunch Box, a Kete (kit) and a Tennis Racket. Another card that was given was one yellow card to solve the problem, our problem on the card was 'How to make a butterfly house?' out of those items. It was really a tough problem because we had to make the butterfly house out of those items 'logical'. Sadly our group didn't pass but the group that did was Maree's, Awhina's and David's Group.

This was fun doing this activity.

The last week or so

Its the last week of the term and us students have been really busy getting our production ready and other things around our school. When they have been getting prepared some of our students from our classroom have been shifting around to other senior classes from those students that isn't in the production because our teacher (Ms Tito) is the producer in a tribal dance group for all the senior students in the performance so that's why we have to split up and move to other classes so Ms T has space to work with her group. What we do getting shift around is we take our netbooks and work on a site for maths called 'Maths Whizz' or we do blogging.

Its so thrilling seeing the term go so quickly.
