My Final Goodbye

2018 was one of the most best years of my life because it was full of laughter and excitement. Sadly my teacher Miss Misela is leaving to have a better life in Australia. My best-friends this year have been helpful and at the same time kind. I can't wait to be in a higher class that learns harder things. My best-friends this year were Madisyn, Faye, Agueer, Limiteti, Winnie and Sione. We have had a lot of drama and arguments that we all regret. I wanted to say Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Room 10's Data Results

This is a report that I made that includes the details from the survey room 10 did. My teacher (MsMisela) said pick 3 subjects to write about, for me the was really easy because the 3 subjects I chose were Maths, P.E. and Music. My favourite paragraph to write would be subject 2 which is P.E!

Studyladder

Studyladder is a learning site which is like a game about learning. If you know about another learning game called Skoolbo then you would know that these two games are quite similar. I used to have an Skoolbo account but now I use Studyladder. As you can see from the screenshot is that I have 420 coins (it's not much!).  Your teacher can also set tasks for you to finish which is basically like tests but easier. One thing I wish Studyladder had was a leader-board like Skoolbo so I can try and beat the person in my class with the most coins!

Tennis With Peter

 On Tuesday 23rd we had our first lesson with our mentor Peter. We played a little game first so that we were ready. When we finished our warm up we were ready to hit with the actual Tennis racket! Room 9 played with us half way through the game until they had to leave.

When Kaulave left (because he's in room 9) it was just me and Maddy in our group so I went on the other side. We had demonstrations on how to hit that ball because a lot of us were hitting it over the fence. I had a lot of fun and I can't wait to do it again next week Tuesday!

My Morning With ToiToi

 On Tuesday 23rd room 9 spent their morning with room 10 reading books with ToiToi. In my group was Krista, D.j., Musika and Mona the person from ToiToi. I learnt how to explain what I am reading more. I even learnt something about Mona which was that she has to wear those bracelets for one year, so I think shes taking it off this year.


I thought ToiToi was fun and I would love to have them come back again!

Reflections on term 3 goals

Achieved - I achieved my reading goal by reading more and trying to understand it to put it into sentences.
Achieved -  I have achieved my writing goal by getting more information or facts about a story to put into paragraphs.
Not Achieved - I have not achieved my maths goal because I have not been practising my 12 times tables at home and at school.

Deli Ali 2.0 - Glasses

Since I blogged about the Deli Ali, I found out that there is another Deli called Deli Ali 2.0! I found out by my friend Agueer. She commented about the Deli Ali 2.0 which gave me an idea to do another blog post about it.  As you know I wrote the steps on how to do it on my other blog post, and that is what I'm doing on this one! For this process you will need to know all the names of your fingers, but if you don't know just research it.

Steps on how to do it:

1) First get the tip of your thumb and ring finger together.       
2) Now get the tip of your pinky and middle finger together,
but make sure the pinky is at the bottom.               
3) Last but not least face the pair of glasses a the bottom then
make sure your index finger is pointing up!

Do you know the Deli Ali?

Can you do the Deli Ali? The Deli Ali is the new hand craze most people are talking about. The Deli Ali was made from English football player Bamidele Jermaine Ali. Some people don't know how to do the Deli Ali but I do.
Here are 3 steps to know how to do the Deli Ali.
1) Put your fingers in a way that there's a circle and 3 fingers up.
2) Now put the finger next to the circle up.
3) Flip it over and your done!

Volleyball

On Tuesdays the senior block (rooms 9,10 and 12) go to volleyball on the court with our instructor Rennae. We all go at different times. Room 9 goes between 10:30 and 10:50, room 10 goes at 11:20 and room 12 goes at 12:00.
I like volleyball because we all learn new things like how to do a under arm serve, over arm serve, dig and spike. When you are playing volleyball you can not make the ball hit the net. You can only spike if the ball if it is thrown above your head. I like playing volleyball because it has cool moves. If I were to chose outside or inside I would choose outside!

My Term 3 Goals

Reflections On Term 2 Goals

I achieved my writing goals because I have practised my Writing at school and some at home. I use better words for my Writing that are more interesting and more specific.

I kind of achieved my Maths goal because I learnt it but some of it I did not understand. I have measured a lot of things but hard measurement problems confuse me sometimes.

I achieved my Reading goal because when my reading group asks questions about the text we read I answer it.  I am good at answering and asking questions to group about the text we read.

Pretty Chubby Panda's Presentation

  
This report is about Pretty Chubby Panda's. Each paragraph is about it's life, skills how to survive and many other things. When you read this Panda report you might find out a lot about Turtle's. The reason why I picked this animal is because it is my favourite animal and it is super cute!

Past and Present

This poster of Past and Present Maori land was created by Madisyn and I. I was supposed to post this on Friday but I was away. We created this poster in buddies like everyone else in our class. Our teacher Miss Misela told us that we were not allowed pictures with people in it. If you were to live in one of these worlds which one would it be? 

Would it be the Past or the Present?

The Bad Race

Morral: Never Cheat!!!

Beginning:

One morning Tiger Faye and Cheetah Madisyn were

having the most biggest argument about who is the

fastest mammal. They would have races to see

who’s the fastest but they always come a tie!

Then one morning they were getting ready for

a race that determines who’s the fastest!

Initiating Event:

Tiger Faye was so outraged of coming a tie

all the time so she makes a little plan that

will make her champion. First she will add traps

for Cheetah Madisyn to fall for! The first trap is the

paint in the bucket that will fall on Cheetah

Madisyn’s head. The second trap is the rope

on the ground that will make Cheetah Madisyn

fall and break her ankle. The last trap is the net

that Cheetah Madisyn will fall in and will be trapped!

Problem:

The next day was the day to determine who’s

the fastest. Cheetah Madisyn was finishing all her

stretch’s while Tiger Faye just finished putting

up her traps for Cheetah Madisyn to fall in! Then

their names were agnomened over the

speaker “Cheetah Madisyn and Tiger Faye

up to the line to start the race. 3.. 2.. 1.. GO, and off

went Cheetah Madisyn and Tiger Faye. As Tiger Faye

ran Cheetah Madisyn gets her head all covered with blue

paint. “Oh man, but there goes Tiger Faye in the lead!”.

As Cheetah Madisyn tripped on the second trap she broke her ankle and wasn’t able to finish the race.

Solution:

When Cheetah Madisyn was about to be put on the

stretcher she saw Tiger Faye sneaking off to look

at her traps she did, suddenly Cheetah Madisyn

shouted out to the A.P.P. (Animal Patrol Police)

“Police Tiger Faye setted up all the traps!”.

As soon as they saw Tiger Faye they chased her

until they caught her. When they caught her they

made her say sorry to Cheetah Madisyn, Cheetah
Madisyn forgave her but Tiger Faye had to jail for
5 years.

Conclusion:

From that day forward Tiger Faye was known

as the Trap Animal and Cheetah Madisyn was

known as the fastest animal in the JUNGLE!

The Last Game

"I didn't know that this would happen" I said.

9 hours previously

I invited Morgan to come play video games with me on Saturday. We had picked out the newest arrivals of games at JB - HIFI. 1 game we chose was called the The Last Knight, another we also chose was called Battlefield 4, there were so much! We were so excited to play the games. While I waited for Morgan to come I was assembling all the snacks and refreshments we would eat and drink while we were playing. 10 minutes later Morgan arrived at our house with the most deafening knock on the door and shouting "Come On Open The Door!". So I went and opened it. Morgan then said "Are you excited to play Battlefield 4 and the rest of the games?, I replied by saying "Of Course I Am. 

A few minutes later we started playing the games that we bought and man the were AWESOME!!! Then the last game we played was called WATCH OUT! Morgan and I were surprised by the title of the game but we thought it was going to be exciting! As we were putting the disc of the game into the game console we realised something odd. The game had scratches all over the game disc, and it also said WARNING DO NOT PLAY, I was kinda afraid when I read that. As we played the game we fell asleep. When we woke up we realised that we didn't fall asleep, we got transferred from the human world into the game world. Morgan then tried shouting and screaming to get our parents attention but it didn't work.


Later we heard voices saying "Finish the tasks". Morgan and I did not understand what Finish the tasks meant but we tried to figure it out. Soon we found this obstacle course that we thought was one of the tasks that we had to complete. The obstacle course looked really challenging, it had chainsaws to run through, tables you have to jump across, it was really hard to get through. Once Morgan and I finished the obstacles we heard another voice saying " You have 2 more tasks to do". Morgan and I were so happy because we were thinking that if we finish all our tasks we might get to go back home!


As we were looking for the next task, Morgan found a shell. The shell had the most appealing patterns we have ever seen. I then blew the shell and Morgan and I fell and slept. When Morgan and I awoke we realised we were back home in the human world. We were so happy to back home. As we saw our parents we RUSHED into their arms and hugged them. Next time we see that game we won't play it!

What Maoris Were Then and Now!

Hip Hop With Jess!

Today we did Kiwi Sport, the kind of sport we did was Hip Hop dance. Our mentor/coach was Jess, she was awesome at showing us the moves! My favourite part about the whole dance was the last bit which was the Shoot/Hype.

If I were to vote who was the best to memorised  the dance (except for Jess) I would say Agueer because every time I look at her we both know the dance! We are going to do Hip Hop on Tuesdays for the next 6 weeks. I am going to be excited to memorise more Hip Hop dances!

Acrostic Poem About Space

S. sounds of planets orbiting the Sun.

P.  Planets changing every time.

A. Any planet can have different ways of orbiting.

C. Changing every-time.

E. Every planet has gravity.                      

What Kind Of Pools There Are!

There are a lot of pools in the world but some people
don't know how big they are. Some pools
are under ground or in a volcanoes. Hotel pools are
massive because it is built from metal. Some places in                 
the world there is a hotel with a swimming pools that is
clear that you can see the road all the way down. If I
swam in there I would be very scared because I might fall. Some people might be brave but I'm not!

From what I am typing right now I now know that
pools are more than what people expect!

How Strong Oobleck Really Is

Some people might not know what Oobleck is so let me tell you. Oobleck is a solid and a liquid because when you mould Oobleck it will stay solid for about 3 seconds and then turn liquid. You can make Oobleck using Cornflour and Water. It is great for science experiments so students can explain what Oobleck feels like to them. I went on YouTube to watch how strong Oobleck really is and let me tell you it is really strong. It looked really cool when the YouTube video showed it in slow-motion. They shot the Oobleck that was put in a balloon with a golf ball that put in a gun. Now that I told you what Oobleck is you can go and find out more about it!

My Group's Advertisement Of Road Safety!

                                                  Here is my group's advertisement!!!

Our Advertisements and Posters

For the past 3 days my room have been working
on ad's and posters for road safety week. We got into groups
of 4 or 5 so that each group would have the same amount of students.
↖️My group were Madisyn, Winnie, Shaniqua and Kymani.
It was fun acting all the scenes that we made.
We also had Limiteti in our group but she has been away for the past week which is sad that she wasn't included.    The groups that did posters got to present their posters today but the advertisement groups did not get to introduce their ad because we running out of time. I don't have the ad in blog post but I'll have it in my next one!
In my group we all decided to do an ad because we all thought it would be fun acting!

The Big Surprise

Today I woke up with such excitement, because this was the day we were going to England, back to the story. I rushed to my dresser cheering in silence trying not to wake up the rest of the family. I packed all the essentials I needed.  Soon my dad woke up, his big yawn soon woke up my brother and mum. I asked my parents where were we going to stay, they said The Dun-church hotel, as soon as I heard that name I imagined that the hotel would be fancy with lights that show multiple colours or birds that flicker around the room.

After everyone packed all their needs we hopped in the car ready to go to the airport. When we arrived at the airport I saw the flight that we were going to be on. I was so excited to be going to England! I thought to myself that they might not have some of the food we have like Burger King or KFC but I knew that they have McDonald's which made me not to worry about food. After that we heard our flight was being agnomened over the speaker. We rushed as fast as we could to gate 5 where our flight was being held. 

When we got there we were so lucky to have 2 more people waiting in line. My dad soon showed all our passports to the flight attendant, she said "Your good to go". As we got on the plane I turned on the t.v that was attached to the back of the chair that was in-front of me. It was 3 hours long so I had a little nap. We ordered cookies and all sorts of refreshments along the way.

When we arrived in England a person was waiting for us with a sign saying The Dorchesters. I knew that was our ride to The Dun-church hotel. As we arrived at the hotel it looked really fancy, it had a spa with the most sparkly and dazzling water I have ever seen. We entered our room that we were going to stay in. When we entered we saw a poster saying The Festival, I was so happy to be going there but it was 2 days after today but it was okay.


2 days later we went to the festival it was very packed. There were a lot of people from all over the country here to see the festival. It had large floats that I thought were going to touch the clouds and it also had fireworks that BURSTED into the sky. Soon I saw a float that looked like a car and a balloon that looked like the queen until I realised that was the queen. I couldn't believe the queen was in a car right in - front of my EYES!

ToiToi

Plan - ToiToi

1)  Greet and Meet

2)  Break Into Groups

3)  Read Books

(Introduction)

Yesterday ToiToi came to our school. They came to our school to show their new part 11 of the book. They inspired us to try and write more stories or more drawings to publish into ToiToi.

(Greet and Meet)

Yesterday ToiToi came to our school. They introduced themselves to us which was exciting. The only workers I knew were Jo, Michelle and Mona. Konzay from room 12 came up because 1 of his stories was published in the book, the story was called ''My Friend Dominic". I liked the story because it showed how much Konzay really missed Dominic which was great because it shows a real friendship. 

(Break Into Groups)

When we finished introducing ourselves we got into groups. In my group it was Madisyn, Diego, Musika and Tyresse. Our story-teller was Jo which had an a amazing accent. I asked her is she British, she said yes. I was so happy to meet a real British person. I think that she was a great worker because she told us to say what ever we thought about the story. 

(Read Books)

The stories in the book that we read was Blue, Fireworks, Phoenix, The Fall and The Bridge.  In my group we did 2 medals and a mission. My favourite part about the whole thing was when I asked Jo has she met the queen, she said ''no but she has passed me with her family''. When she said that I just freaked out while Madisyn was embarrassed. 

(Conclusion)

When ToiToi went I thought to myself that was going to write a story to publish to ToiToi!

My Recount

(Introduction)

On the 1st Wednesday of the school holidays my mum, my brother and I went to Bungee Jump. We went to Bungee Jump because we finished cleaning our house.

(Paid for Bungee Jump)

When my mum told my brother and I that we were going we were so EXCITED!!! My mum paid for my brother and I to jump because she had the money. While my brother and I were waiting in line with our mum, I felt like I had butterflies in my stomach. The line that we were waiting in was small in the front but as it went longer I felt nervous. I worried that if I jump the ropes might break but my mum said it won't. 

(Bungee Jumping)

After waiting in line for 10 minutes it was my brother and I's turn to Bungee Jump. I could tell that my brother was feeling brave because when the worker said "You 2 here please" my brother ran but I just walked.  The first thing that the worker said to me before he strapped me up was "How old are you?", I said 9 years old. When he finished strapping me with the ropes he counted down from 5 then I jumped. 

(Bought Food)

After we bungee jumped we bought Subway. I had a bread called Grain bread, but when I go to Subway I usually get White bread but Grain bread was okay. My brother and I got Oreo milkshakes that were really yummy. 

(Conclusion)

I felt so excited and so happy when going to bungee jump. I wish that I went back to bungee jump so that I can experience that feeling again which was flying. I also wish that it lasted longer. I had a great time bungee jumping!
