Letter to RLWC Tongan Team

A few weeks ago, I heard alot of people talking about this big game of Tonga v Nz. I wasn’t sure of what to expect from these two teams. Of course I was ready to watch the intense game. From the first 10 minutes I had figured out who the winners were and from there I was hoping they’d take out the RLWC 2017. Unfortunately on last Saturday one team got in the way.

Malo e lelei,

My name is Cameo. I have really enjoyed watching your games the past few weeks. With excitement and thrill you doubtlessly brought the best entertainment any other team could of. I thank your team with much gratitude. I’ve learned from you all that one's love for their culture will never change.

For me you've really changed my perspective on the reasons you played. Your hearts are rich in your culture. Everyone aware of the RLWC would have seen that throughout the whole competition you showed dedication, Inspiration and Motivation. You've really made all of tonga proud on how far you've come.

Thank you so much,
Cameo.

Child Tooth Decay in Nz

Walt: distinguish between fact and opinion by identifying relevant language features the author has subtly used.
 
 In this task I found more information about the tooth decay for children in Nz. I learned how bad it is. The impact and turnout of this condition is unimaginable. I definitely think I've learned valuable information.

Maths Problems

Walt: solve maths problems.


In this task I solved simple maths problems. I found the first activity very easy. I found it got slightly harder each activity.

PB

Walt: Take care of little things in our writing.

P.1:
I guess you're wondering what PB stands for, no not peanut butter this PB stands for ‘Personal Best’. Last Friday we had our final annual School Athletics Day (for the yr 8s). All the seniors had their mind on only one thing. To achieve their personal best in each activity. I have just 3 simple steps so you can achieve your personal best no matter what!

P.2:
First, make sure you practise practise practise. Without practising before the big day your body will be unfamiliar with the amount of movement so fast. It’s better to prepare your body for some certain activities as well like, sprints, high jump, javelin, shot put etc. These things will require more movement so it’s best to practise them more.

P.3:
Another very important step is to make sure you make the most out of your day. Being my last year I know that these are very important Last memories of our (yr 8s) year. Make sure to dress up and have fun with your costume. Getting there is the hard part, am I right? Your dreading one activity the most. Try to have as much fun as you can because before you know it the day will be over.

P.4:
My last step for you all, Focus on yourself and Participate. It doesn't matter whether your racing the fastest person in the school or playing tug-o-war against the strongest girl. Focus on yourself and try your hardest to achieve a new personal best in every activity. Participate even if you know you won't make it, try your best. Do everything with a smile!!

Conclusion:
I hope you've learned a little bit about how to achieve your PB (Personal Best). Following these three simple steps you should be able to have the best Athletics Day, well at least for you personally. From experience you'll have massive fun!

Our Game and Mission:
You are to complete an explanation of how you can achieve your 'Personal Best' during school athletics day! Each of you will start on 100 points. For every silly mistake I find in your finished writing will cost you 5 points. Every person with a score 75 or higher will receive a prize from me at the end of the week!

Wish Me Luck!

Musical Madness!!!

Term 4! Have you ever gotten the feeling of butterflies on the first day of the term, but last first day of your life? Well if you have then you must know how i felt, sad, excited, emotional, ecstatic and even maybe a bit petrified. This morning we had the last Immersion assembly of the year and for all the year 8 students. Our focus for the term is ‘Musical Madness’ so without further ado this is how it all went down!!

To start off the assembly Mr Burt and his Senior management team (SMT for short) formed a band and even wrote a new song called ‘Musical Madness Saves The Day.’ It rhymed, had good rhythm and the band itself was marvelous. All five teams had pretty much the same idea but in delivery I think the most informative groups were Teams one and five.

I definitely found that team 3 had the most entertaining way to showcase their idea. Their way of explaining the idea was ‘Storytelling using music’ so they decided to make a songs in real life video. They brought our school many laughs (I also heard some people singing along).

I definitely want to learn more about team fives focus which was ‘How do composers use music to evoke an emotional response in an audience’ in short words ‘What impact does music have on our emotions’. I am interested in learning what some of the words actually mean like evoke or composers. I think that this was a really good last immersion assembly at Pt England School.

Introduction to Probability

Walt: investigate probability
 In this task I found the answer to the questions.The question I found the most challenging was on slide 4 but I found it easier throughout the whole presentation.

Food Tech Week 9:

This week my partner Anahere and I made Pizza Pinwheels.
The ingredients we used were:
Mixed herbs, 1 sheet of puff pastry, salami, bacon, pizza sauce, cheese, red capsicum and warm water.
First dice the bacon, salami and red capsicum. Once finished spread the pizza sauce on pastry leaving one edge for when you roll it. Once you have finished with the sauce add your capsicum, bacon, salami, herbs then finish it off with your cheese. Next roll your'e pastry then add warm water to the edge with no sauce to glue together. lastly you want to cut the roll into about 8 circles and cook in a tray until golden brown.

Prizegiving Reflection 2K16

This is my prize giving reflection of 2016

On Thursday the 8th of December Pt England School had the school Prize giving. At five o'clock the senior Kapa haka group Manaia Ki Te Rangi met in the Whare Whono. We all got dressed up then it all happened…

At precisely 7:00 pm we travelled from the library to the stage at it had finally started. Prize giving 2016 was the best I have had so far personally especially when you get 3 certificates and three trophy's. The time came when the Year 7’s did their item and it got alot of cheers plus it was extremely fun.

During the end tears ran down my face as the year 8s were finishing off their item. Lastly we sang the school song ‘Strive To Succeed’ and it was a blast!

I can’t wait for next year because my hopes are that it will be even better.

Usain bolt and Irked Snodgrass

Walt: Identify Simple, Compound and Complex sentences

Usain Bolt. Usain was born in 1986 which makes him 29 years of age, he is  regarded the fastest man timed. Usain is jamaican , but he’s known in nearly every country. His whole name is Usain St. Leo Bolt. Usain enjoy cricket more than sprinting. In 2009 Bolt adopted a cheetah and named him Lightning bolt.

“As always Usain is in the finals surprisingly with one of our slowest men Irked Snodgrass.” The 100m sprinter wasn’t frightened, but neither was irked. Irked was amazed. Not aware of the problem Usain lined up alongside Irked, seeing irked had a little smirk on his face “hmmmm” Usain whispered to himself. At the sound of a pistol they both sprinted, irked fell into the sidelines and he jumped back up straight away. “In the lead is Irked snodgrass?” Irked won and Usain was crushed.

All three triplets ran into each other to hug “wait a minute what do we have here?” “Cheaters!” Usain exclaimed. Irked and his brothers were disqualified. Usain was rewarded with his gold medal. Proudly Usain collected it on the podium, all the Jamaican fans screamed as loud as they could.Usain was as proud as could be, meanwhile the snodgrass triplets were angrily being taken to jail.The crowd was cheering wildly, aggressively and proudly.Everything happened as planned nice and smoothly.

This is all just a narrative meaning its all completely made up.
