Term 1 Reflection 2014

My highlights this term would have to be my empathy movie, Fia Fia, and sport and Tech at Tamaki College.

I have made improvements/progress in……. Math

I know this because….  I know Im good at math because I keep learning. I have learnt some new strategies. I have been trying to get my maths work done.

I still need to work hard to improve my… Reading

I know this because… I'm not good at reading because it might have hard some words to sound out. Reading is good for me but I don’t read enough.

I am most proud of my efforts to work hard at maths.

My 3 main goals for Term 2 will be...

1. Reading  - improve my reading age

2. Writing - get better at proofreading and editing my work

3. Inquiry - how to understand what I am learning about

Fia Fia.

               Fia Fia.

Yesterday at Pt England School it was Fia Fia. Fia Fia means when some of the Cultural groups perform.That’s what we did at Pt England School. At 6:00pm the student at Pt England School got ready.

On Fia Fia night, I was in Hip Hop. I like hip hop because its fantastic and it’s good for fitness. When it was the Maori group to perform they were pretty good at dancing. After the Maori group it was the Bollywood group that danced. They were wearing nice dresses.

Finally it was the Hip Hop turn to dance. We were dancing to ‘Happy’ by Pharrell Williams. It was fun and I was having fun dancing in front of people. When we got off the stage it was the Tongan girls dance they had lots of girls in the group. There were so many performances left.

Hiwarau Story Of A Boy.

Once upon a time there was a creepy scary boy who lived in a haunted house. He died in his own house and he was the spirit who keeps his house safe. Who ever walked past his house must die.

When this man walked across his house he came so quick and dragged him in the house, the man was  yelling as loud as he could, HELP,HELP. But no one would hear him. All the man could  see was a boy who was a ghost. His house was a mental hospital.

The boy had something in him and he thought it was the devil. In 1988 when he was a normal kid he went to the park to play and suddenly he saw something.

It quickly went in him and he started to feel like he was going to faint so he ran home and told his family that something was wrong but the didn't believe him.

So the next day early in the morning he killed his family.when the mentalist person came to check him and take him to mental hospital.

Finally when they got there he was checked by an expert he was and exorcism man who checks if the devil is in him and he was.

the boy was scared.

The next day the boy got angry and started to attack his cell mate. He was laughing and after that the guards put him in a cell by himself.

When he was in his cell he still had the knife in his hand he started to stab himself. All of a sudden the guards grabbed him out so he would stop stabbing himself.

But he just wanted to have their attention. He tried to escape but the alarm went off and there were too many guards after him. So he still tried to escape but he couldn't.

Movie In The Park.

On Friday and Saturday at Pt. England Reserve we got to watch movies in the park. On Friday we watched “Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2”.

When I went to see the movie I saw Isaaka, Zion, Semi, Antonio, Isaiah, Lukis, and my cousins. My nan and my uncle went to watch the movie. I went to go and play with Isaaka and Semi.

I was playing with my water gun and we kept on wetting people.  Zion was playing with Lukis on the swings. It was fun because   Isaaka and I were wetting people.

My favourite part that I liked about the movie was seeing the dogs made out of food.I also liked seeing the mother pick up her pups so they would stop fighting and getting hurt. After my nan and I walked back home.

Sports At Tamaki College.

On Friday after morning tea we walk to Tamaki College in two lines. Once we get to Tamaki we sit down on the field. Then we wait for the year 12 students from Tamaki to put us in groups. We had to wait for them to give us the instructions on how to play the game.

We go to Tamaki college to do fitness. The year 12 students get credits from then NCEA. To get fit and staying healthy as well as having fun with the year 12 students.

The first game we played was called chain tiggy. We had to run away from the person who was in and if he or she tag any of us then we would have to wrap our arms around there arms. Then if there was only one person left then he or she is the winner.

After that game we played this hard game we all had to lie on the chairs. Then when our tutors took the chairs away we had to try and hold the person who was on your legs and hold them up as long as you could.

Then when we all had to go back to school our tutors gave us a high five before we went back to school. On the way back to school all of us was enjoying ourselves playing at Tamaki College with our own tutors.

Cyclone Lusi

What is a Cyclone?

What kind of damage does a cyclone cause?

How can you get ready for a cyclone?

1. A cyclone can do lots of damage. It can take down trees and branches and it could hit some people. When the waves smack into the rocks it creates a lot of impact and splashes everywhere.

2.A cyclone can do lots of damage by hitting trees into houses. The strong  winds can push cars when they are driving across the road. It might hit something and people might get hurt.         

3. You can get ready by staying safe inside your house and storing food like water and fruit. You can secure  objects outside from flying around and hitting other stuff into your house.

Fia Fia.

At school at 2 o'clock in the afternoon we start our Fia Fia. I’m in the hip hop group. I like it because we have got Miss King, she’s our tutor. She is good at instructions. Our song is skrillex, ‘Happy’ and some other songs.

Our group leaders are Neo and Mele.They are the people that are teaching us the dance moves. I feel happy that I picked hip hop because it’s got a good beat in it and they have got good dance moves. I like the tutors and our leaders are good at dancing.

When Fiafia starts it’s going to be exciting. Because last year it was fun performing. I was in the Asian group. We had Mrs She as our tutor. We had the dragon in our performance and we did the Gangnam Style song.
