Tagata Pacific

Yesterday room 22 had some visits from Tagata Pacific to come and film us.

what the Tagata Pacific wanted to ask us was what does Christmas means to us. what I was going to say was that Christmas means to me is to celebrate the day Gods son Jesus was born.

when they were going to film me I was really nervous because I was I little bit shy to be on t.v. Some of us got interviewed.

I really enjoyed them coming in our class.

about our net books

This is the first year that we have a net book at Pt England school.

we enjoyed having a net book to keep. this is the first year the year 7 & 8 took there net book home.

The interesting thing about net books is that we don't do work in books anymore and you can find much more information's on Internet. And also we don't do our home works in our books.

the thing I don't like about the net books is it can distract your learning. And you don't get to finish your work that you had to do.

I really enjoyed having a net book this year.

GUY FAWKES.

yesterday room 22 were learning about guy Fawkes. We had to complete a task.

I learnt that the other name for guy Fawkes is bonfire night and its celebrated on the 5th of November. In London in 1605 guy Fawkes together with a number of other Catholic men plotted to blow up the house of Parliament at its opening session on 5th November. You have to be 16 years of age and over to buy fireworks.

The Chinese were probably the first to make fireworks over 2000 years ago. they are still use in china to celebrated their New year at the beginning of November with bonfires and feasts-the Festival of Samhain.

I can't wait for fireworks night.

All Blacks VS Canada

On Sunday night I couldn't wait for the All Blacks V's Canada game to come on. The first half was boring because All Blacks lost heaps of chance to get heaps of try but they give it away by losing the ball by running and not holding it tight also penalties.But not long the star player Zac Guildford got the first try for New Zealand I was really happy that I couldn't stop jumping up and down.

The begging of the 2ND half we scored try's like one after another. My best player on earth Zac Guildford scored 4 try's and it was the best try ever like most of his try was run away's. That game was amazing but I felt sad because we defected the Canada By miles. The score was 79-15.

I really enjoyed that wonderful game.

He attended Auckland Grammar school. He wore the number 10 jersey First five also called fly-half. he scored(1 try, 118 conversions, 128 penalties, 7 drop goals)

My highlight for the world cup.

My highlight for the world cup is when around my street there were heaps and heaps of people celebrating the first day of the world cup. also I was celebrating by running around my street with my New Zealand flag it was shaming because the Tonga people didn't like when I was going for the All blacks it was mostly my next door. Because they are Tonga They are cheering for Tonga

After the ceremony. The first game was All Blacks vs Tonga. It was held in Auckland at Edan park. The game was really enjoyable because how the All Blacks started the of with the Haka Also the Tonga team started with the Haka. When the All blacks kicked of my heart started to pound because the Tonga team looks like they were going to defeat the New Zealand team like nothing But I was wrong New Zealand scored the first try of the first half then I knew straight away that All blacks is going to win. The first half was almost finish and the All blacks were leading by 29-3.

The begging of the 2Nd half was amazing because Ma'a Nonu was sets some of the try for the team. They won 41-10

I felt happy when they won against Tonga.

Last week there was a Aims rugby 7s tournament. It was held in Touranga for a whole week . Our 7s team were to represent our school by competing against different schools around New Zealand.

There first game was against Cambridge. our Teacher told us that the year 8 boys were versing Cambridge school. our boys won 50-0. I was really excited That I had a big smile on my face because they won by miles.

The boys arrived back home save with the best news. couldn't wait to see them.

Team 5 challenge

On Tuesday the 23 of August. I was really existed because at school its going to be the best day. All of the senior block were waiting to go on to the bottom field to have fun. As we were walking down I can see the senior block teachers getting there game ready for us to enjoy.

Room 22’s First activity was with our amazing Teacher called Miss Tito. Her game was called sling short with balls. There are all sorts of different size of balls. When you chose a ball you then put it on the sling short and then aim for a holier hope. If you don’t know what this game is all about? This is what it means there are about 5 or 6 holler hopes flat on the ground. The blue holler hope are worth 50 points And the pink is 100 . Our class had100 points by shooting the ball in the blue hoop. Then we then move over to our 2Nd activity

Mr Harris is game that hes taking is tricky. Mr Harris’ told us we can choose our own partners. I then choose Junior to be my partner because hes very good at this game. Junior and I was the first once to play with the my other class mates . If you don't know what this game is all about? Its to tie a string around one of your partners leg and your leg also tight. The teacher that's taking the game will give you a ball, spoon,Part of the game is about balance. We had to try and balance all the away to the cones and back.

I really enjoyed that moment out on the bottom field. I hope we do this again some other time. I will like to thank all the teachers for making this day come for the seniors to have fun.

Badminton session.

Last week on Thursday morning room 22 went over to the hall to play a game called badminton. A lady called Laureen came from the Auckland badminton club. She is the coach. She came and taught some of the room 22 student how to play badminton. What is badminton? badminton Is a game similar to tennis.

Laureen taught us different ways how to serve and how to hold a racket. How do you hold a racket? How to hold a racket is to twist your arm around and put your thump at the back of the racket. We had a competition who can serve the shuttle in the bin the most. I only got it in once.

Catching the shuttle in the cone. There are suppose to be only one person with a racket the other person is holding a cone. Your feet has to be in the line to catch a shuttle. It was really easy because Raven and I did it perfectly.

I really enjoyed it. Because now I know how to play a little bit of badminton.I really cant wait for the next session of badminton.

my highlight of this term

My highlight for this term is rugby. Because we get to travel different places only if we win heaps of games. The other thing I like about rugby is when you get to verse people from other school. Also if you win the Eastern zone we go on and challenge champion of champions. Pt England school went on and challenge for the title. the schools we versed was hard. We didn't won the title we lost but we came 3rd place. I was proud of the boys.

all of us were freezing because the weather was not good it was raining.

the design process design furniture for our street

At pt England school our topic for this term is about Bigger, Better, faster, stronger. So we Identified a need in the senior block. We decided to design some cool furniture for our street.

Our amazing Teacher told us that we can use the Internet to research for creative design. What Charm and I are working on is seating's. What we found on the Internet was marvelous designs that we can’t make. Because most of the design are made of wood that curves.

What dose generate idea mean? generate ideas means to me that you come up with cool ideas After we all research. We than generate ideas from research also to pick your favourite design that you found then Modified it .What modify means? Is to change it to make it better and to change it to make it your own. Me and my partner did heaps of modifying so our design looks creative then the others.

Finally we are on the fun pit. Why I like this step of the process is that we get to make a prototype. The people that don't know what prototype means?. Its the first step of your model.

I've really enjoyed the past few weeks of doing the design process. I hope we get to do this in the future.
