Manaiakalani reflection 2013

The thing that I enjoy having a netbook this year is being able to do research’s online when needed. Having a netbook helps me learn more online than using paper and pen.On netbooks you can do a lot of cool things, like sharing one document with a friend.Having a netbook  provides us with learning and thinking.I have learnt that when you're online and offline you are leaving footprints online.With our netbooks we get to share with people around the world our works that we have been doing.

This is a movie about our life at Pt England school.

Jessica Niue netball

Waiting for the buzzer  to go as the referee  took a huge breath in, and blow the whistle as solid as she could. We all ran into space to intercept  the ball from the middle.It started to splash with raindrops ,as the court got slippery,we all tumbled down with laughter.After it was 20 minutes the buzzer went (means 1st games over) and both teams came equally.

Laughing hard out as we got off the court,our manager of the team was furious, because we could off improved better.rounded up in a circle having a group talk about our next game.About an hour it was time for our 2nd game.

Tripping and falling, two people were injured,trying to find two players to play for our team.Leading the points we all played hard scoring  and defending getting our ball back.The time came down to 2 minutes we tried hard to keep our tally up. Beep the buzzer went we were all glad of ourselves for winning against Atoi (Niue villages).

This morning we had 40 minutes in total to write about anything exciting that happened in the holidays.Here is what i wrote aboute

Martin Luther King

Elbow to elbow everyone was singing and marching in unison, fighting for equality for blacks.Pushing my way out through the stuffy crowd.Finally we made it to the the Lincoln Memorial, I was trying to get a better view of the statute Abraham Lincoln.I was Mesmerised!

As I was searching for my parents, my mother was calling me in such a huge voice.So I grabbed on to my little sister’s hand tightly and sprinted towards my mum. As we heard people clapping and cheering while MARTIN LUTHER KING took the stage.

The speech that MARTIN LUTHER KING did was about being equal with the white people.The words that came out of MARTIN LUTHER KING mouth was very inspirational.

My DLO

So I know that 2/5 is a fraction.And I know that something has been splited into 5 parts.Now I am going to multiply something to get to 20.So i know that if i go 5x4=20 but i don't want the whole thing I only want 2 pieces of it.Then I go 2x4=8 so i know that 2/5 is 8.

How can I accelerate my learning

Our teacher Mr Barks has given us a job to do,our job was to look at a video that will help us accelerate our learning.So we had to pick an area that will help us learn,so I picked Strategy 1 which was all about Fraction,Decimals and Percentages. I think that I am really getting a hang of it and starting to get it.

Jessica and Grace Explain ready example

Jessica and Grace WILL.I.AM

Para 1:

“Guess what”did you know that there was a famous guest who came to Pt England School yesterday on the 9th of may 2013”.”I wonder who it is”i said with such a surprise. Stuck in  traffic as WILL.I.AM’s sponsors rang Mr Burt to tell him they were 5 minutes away.Doing another run through of the strive to succeed song Mr Jacobson had put together(Tall Mr Jacobson).People trying to guess who was coming saying that it was John key

Para 2: As soon as WILL.I.AM  got to point England school all the paparazzi getting ready to video WILL.I.AM. Walking in the doors and in between the crowed all the paparazzi taking pictures. Me and Jessica was so excited we couldn't wait for him to come out.

Para 3: WILL.I.AM sat down on the chair, as the kappa haka walked on the stage. After the kappa haka went off it was time for hip hop. As it is time for WILL.I.AM to say something as he walked to the front   to say a speech rewarding the maniakalani school 100,1000 dollars.

About fiafia

On Thursday the 18th 2013 Pt England school had there own FIAFIA on the last day of school.Knowing that we are suppose to be there before 6:00pm. On our way to school I saw a lot of people making there way into school grounds.A huge crowd of people all over the place buying things from other stores and gathering around with their families.The bell rings just to let us know that we have to meet back in our changing rooms to get dress.A couple of minutes later the Niue an group was set and ready to go,with the girls hairs bushed up like savages.At 7:00pm Vivienne first said the prayer in Tongan,and then lead by Gabriel and so on fiafia started.I had butterflies in my stomach when i turned back and saw a lot of people standing there looking.After 8 performance finished we were called to stand up and make our way to the side of the stage.Finally it was time to perform before we started i had butterflies in my stomach but then I felt better and still wanted to perform. After that we headed back changing rooms to get change.

Jessica-grace argument

For:

Camp can give you a chance to be a leader. Also it is a great way to make new friends. Another reason for  having the camp is it gives us an  opportunity to participate in lots of different or new activities. Therefore we believe we should have a year 7 and 8 camp.

Para 1- chance to be a leader

Being chosen to be a  leader would obviously be an awesome opportunity to have. Well as leading a team you have to encourage your teammates to participate in every activity’s you do.

Para 2 - new friends.

Making new friends can be a part of your learning because using the 3’ps help you meet new members to (Participation,Partnership,Protection).

Para 3 - new activity

Also at the same time we are having fun  learning new skills like  how to bake,swim and even kayak. You might even  notice that you rock at cooking sometimes, and even want to show your experience.

Conclusion: We think that it will be a great opportunity to have a year 7’s and 8’s camp  every year because a lot of people can meet new friends. For some parents  there opinion is no because it to dare or they might get sick. But also its not fair that the year six’s and five’s go but not the year 7’s and 8’s.Therefore we believe we should have a year 7 and 8 camp.

Show not tell 1

Standing out in the sun It felt like I had been grilled for supper. Huffing and puffing as I ran toward the try line. As I felt  the sweat dripped down my forehead slowly.

"Show no tell"by Jessica and Grace

Standing in the queue waiting to buy  ice-cream, on a steaming sunlit day. Sweat dripped down my forehead slowly  as if the temperature had gone up. It felt like my body has been in a fire I said.”Phew finally I made it to a shady tree”.

I am great at this....

My first trip to Australia

In the past few weeks me and my family went for a holiday down at Australia for 2 weeks.”Mum we are going to be late I shouted with excitement”.Leaving the house at 3:30am in the morning, meeting half of the family at the airport.Knowing that we are suppose to be there before 4:00am.Now it is 6:00am and its time to go on board.Brisbane here we come I whispered quietly to my mum.

Arriving at the airport in Australia making our way to pick up our baggages.”May I see your passport please the man said with a kind voice”.Walking around in circles looking for our luggages.Found it a deep voice coming from the other side,knowing that it was my aunty.
