Energetic

Hello everyone,

Today I did a poem about being energetic. Unfortunately I have left Tamaki primary. But I will still try to blog more often.

Energetic is the yellow of the rainbow in the sky.

It smells like sweet cherries on you black forest cake.

Energetic sounds like laughter coming from the backyard after a long,fun day at school.

It feels like a balloon bursting in your hand,letting the happiness run free.

It taste like sweet honey melting in your mouth.

Energetic looks like everyone coming inside for dinner with a smile and memories of the fun they had.

This is basic words in chinese. HAPPY CHINESE LANGUAGE WEEK!

Chinese dragons!

                                                    Hi everyone,        

This is my poster about chinese dragons. Chinese dragons are a strong symbol in China. They are usually Red and gold/yellow. The red means joy and the gold/yellow means cherish. The picture is of me and my                                                                         dragon.

I heard a whisper but no one was there

In the year of 1980 there lived a 10 year old girl called Madeline Parkers. She lived a normal life in a normal town and went to a normal school but there was something that was not normal,it was Madeline she was not normal at all. She was a grumpy girl that alway was groaning about what she had and didn’t have. She would always get jealous of others that had thing she didn’t have and didn’t even need.She would then run to her parents and  moan “I want…” and they would say “You don’t need that. You have everything you need,A loving family,A roof over your head and a room full of toys.

At school the day of August 27th 1980 she sat in class at school frowning. She glared at all the girls that were crowded around  Ruby Robinson's desk. She was mean to everyone that day even her best friends. “That dress is going to look smashing on you” said Emma her best friend. “That is stunning” said Mia her other best friend. After school Madeleine ran home and put her halloween costume on,she then had her afternoon tea,played with her dolls had dinner and left. Her father dropped her off at her friends house then left. They then went to the halloween party at the park. There she saw Ruby in her sparkly princess dress with her sparkly tiara and diamond necklace. She glared at her with hate then went over to Ruby. “Hello Ruby,What smashing dress you are wearing. What about that tiara of yours,is it real?” Madeleine said sarcastically. “Oh Thank you and yes it is real. Its beautiful aye” said Ruby, “but not for long” Madeline said furiously as she pushed Ruby into a mud puddle.  “My beautiful dress” squealed  Ruby. As she was squealing something green came out,Madeline thought it was her horrid breath but she was wrong. As her and her friend walked home Madeline got a tingling sensation in

Her hand. She then heard a whisper in her ear,it was creepy. She then felt things touching her even though it looked like no one was. She then went insane! “If you want me come get me you creep!” she said. Everyone turned and looked at her,some of them said she looked crazy and others just shake their head in disapproval. When she got home she did her night routines then went to bed. As she was drifting off to sleep she felt someone touch her. Then a whisper in her ear, “you have been sentenced to 6 years of irritation, and Humiliation.” She suddenly froze then ran into her parents room and went to sleep in there,just for her father to take her back into her own room. Madeline was really annoyed after the 5th time of getting poked in the head by a person she can’t even see.

Now Madeline  wishes she didn’t do that to Ruby. But she doesn’t know that she has to say sorry to Ruby and the 6 year would go away.

The hangi night recount

So far at Stand we have been  practicing two cool items for the Hangi night.

It was after school. We were all excited. We went up to our tidy whare , we practiced the items a few times and showed Yogeeta,Aunty Amelia and Jonatan. Afterwards we showered and dressed up nicely then went down to the dining room. The tables were done up really fancy.

The hangi was not ready so my whare did Pacifica greeting SaSa. I was so nervous and I had so many butterflies in my tummy, it was not funny.

I sat down in the front row. Royala counted us in then we started doing the item. “In Tonga we say” we started. I was now even more nervous staring at all the people. I remembered one of the things I did when I performed, then I did it. It made myself calm down. When the SaSa was done the nervousness came back. I quickly ran off the stage.When we were sat back at our tables someone announced that the hangi was not ready so one of the whares had to do an item. So Meleseni and Josphine did there item. They were so graceful. When the  boys did the haka most of them turned red. The performed amazingly.

After the performance it was time to have eat. My favorite thing was everything. As we ate Christian performed a Beyonce dance. It was hilarious. Then Andrew did a did a dance. It was really cool. Before dessert we performed a pacifica song. Before we ate our dessert we sang Happy birthday to Jizane.

He got a boat and a helicopter. The dessert was tremendous.

I had a really good time and I thank everyone who made it happen

Acrostic poem about Growth midset

Growth mindset

     Is this Really my best

                 Optimistic  

Instead of thinking “I’m not good at this” think     What am I missing?    

     Instead of thinking “This is too hard” think   This may take some time

             Instead of thinking “I can’t make this any better” think    How can I improve                          

Instead of thinking “I made a mistake” think Mistakes help me to learn

Instead of thinking “I just can’t do this” think                 I am going to train my brain                                       

Instead of  thinking “My friend can do it but I can’t do it” think I will learN from them

Instead of thinking “It’s good enough” think is this work I’m                           Doing my  best work

         Instead of thinking “Plan A didn’t work” think There’S alway plan B

                   Instead of thinking “I’ll never be smart” think I will LEarn how to do this

Instead of thinking “I can’t do this by myself” think I will work as a   Team.

The letters in pink all spell Growth mindset.

Visit from Brian Falkner

On Wednesday an New Zealand author called Brian Falkner came to our school . He talked about his experiences in life and how he made some of them into book but jazzed it up a little bit. One interesting fact he told us was that only three people in the world know the recipe to Coca-cola and that there not aloud to fly on the same airplane because if the plane crashes they will die and there was no one left who knows the recipe. We did a challenge with 2 other classes which was we had to identify the story from a sentence from the book or the cover. The two classes got 4 or 6 points and we had 8 points or 9 point. 

I enjoyed his visit and I can't believe we won the challenge.


PS: This is a presentation on one of his books Northwood there is  some links from radio NZ so you can listen to it and try to answer the question as well.

Amy was so tired she was up since 3 in the morning drawing the playground design. By the time it was six o’clock her father Mitch came into his daughter sleeping on the flour. “Wakey,Wakey rise and shine” Dad said. She woke “I’m not asleep I've been awake for hours” she said then she turned to see her father looking at the pictures in the trash next to her door. “Why did you throw these in the bin?” dad asked  “ the lines are not straight” she replied to the question “Well get ready for the day; get ready for school go on run along” her father told her. At breakfast Amy ate well drawing,then she went back to her room and put her design in her bag “Ah finally finished” she sighed as a sigh of relief.

At school Amy put a blob of glue here and there and started make the park with the colored dough. It took Amy along time one by one she made swings,seesaws Flying foxes,Trees,Slides and others.

Mary has a bag of lollies in it. She gives 8 lollies to her friend Lucy, which is of the total number of lollies she had. How many lollies did she have in the bag at the beginning?
