My Plan For Year 8

My plan for year 8 is to take charge so I can be a prefect. I will take responsibility and be a good role model around me and make Point England proud.

Tennis

Tennis Tournament

It was a wet morning on Thursday,time to play tennis again, but this time we had a tournament.Our instructor (Marcelle), WARNED us about the tennis nets legs. We had some practise before we started the tournament, it was simple the loosing team goes down and wining team goes up. We were split in to four teams. Marcelle blew the whistle and the game was off! Tamati served the ball across the net and the opponent hit it back all of a sudden Tamati quickly returns the ball with a glorious spike back to him, the opponent missed the shot and one point goes to the Tamati's team. They have had a victory but it was not over. Drips of wet raindrops were soaking in my hair, so we stopped the time and waited. As the time goes by, we went back to the courts and continued our tournament. The fun enjoyment of tennis was victorious, time was running out, the score is 6 all the Jordan takes the advantage and ace our last winning goal.
Thanks To Cruz and Jordan for editing my work.

My Outta This World Dream Holiday

My Dream Outta Of This World

Brring Brring....... ‘ screamed the alarm.
I tried to ignore it. I wanted
to stay home in my outta this world dream. My
dream holiday.

It was just another day at home but this time it was different. My family has been adopted by ALIENS. I quickly hit the gravity button which makes me float. I looked out the window and there they were, it had only one eye, it was green and had slimy  tentacles and, and...........
looked like this.

The aliens held my mum hostage while they were heading to Uranus to look for a BOMB, which fell off, when my mum and her space crew was attacking the aliens. My mum wanted to experiment on them. I took a mini rocket and flew silently behind them, as we wonder around the eight planets we have found Uranus.
     
According to space time, it has been 7 years so I only have 1 Month to stop the Aliens from invading Earth. My friend and I (Obie K Nobe One) was helping me find my mum but it was too late. As the Bomb was activated, it was a beeping rapidly but it was just the alarm waking me up.

Thanks to Sione and TomJoe for taking the time to check my work.

The Year Without Summer

In room 19 we had to read, write and learn about a book. We each got a book to study,we had to study, we had to summarise the reading and then put it together in a slide show. It is here on my blog so that team four can use it for reading task.

Silly Sports

SILLY SPORTS

I was challenged as a simple sponge can fill a bucket with that much water. My team mates were all lined up like a foot ball squad.
Quick, Quick, don't squeeze it, dose were the only words I heard, when I passed the sponge through my legs. The rotation of passing the sponge was going side, under, side, under, that was the strategy of this game, Jordan slipped and we all laughed with joy....... Just before the siren went on.

It's time for some action.
Swinging and pulling and stretching that rubber catapult, I thought that rubber thing was being teared to pieces..... The ball went straight to the ground, there was no where the ball can go inside that hoop. None of the room 19 girls or boys got it in. The aim of the game is to swing a ball inside a hoop..... err ruuu err ruuu.On that siren goes again.

Time for a "spooning" challenge with Mr. Harris.
My leg was tied to a partner like a prisoner, with a ball on top of a spoon, on my hand. GO! yelled Mr. Harris me and Samson were cooperating saying in, out, in, in our heads trying not to get out of focus or else the ball will fall down. It was a challenge for me because the wind was blowing my hair on my face.

Special Thanks to Jordan, And Cruz For Checking My Work.

Where The Heck Is Mt Eden?

Different Auckland town centres have adopted Rugby teams from countries that qualified for the World Cup.

I found out information about :

The location in Auckland;

Something special about this place;

A 'potted' history of the place;

If it has it's own symbol of some sort.

(If we couldn't find a symbol we chose a picture that told more about the place).

Mt Eden is an inner suburb of Auckland city, situated five kilometres south of the city centre.
The mountain is the highest natural point in the whole of Auckland.
n pre-European times Mount Eden was utilised as a fortified hill pa by various Māori tribes.
In 1868 local people met to form a local governing body; this was the Mt Eden Highway Board. The Mt Eden Borough Council came into being in 1906. The Council Office buildings in Valley Road were built in 1911. In 1989 Mt Eden Borough was amalgamated with Auckland City.

Cross Country

I heard the two bricks collide together ........BANG! The fast boys were sprinting through muddy puddles and zoomed off towards the finish. I was thinking that was too fast and I would catch them....... eventually. By the time I reached Mr Harris checkpoint, ( My Teacher ) I was Pumped.

The running course for our cross country was 3 kilometers and so far I probably ran about 1 kilometer. I jog as I felt exhausted just trying to cross that finish line. Around the foot path, through the muddy grass, huffing and puffing along I go. There I am half way in the gate. This three kilometer race was like putting my heart on a treadmill...

The moment I first crossed the finish line I couldn't even breath. Friends were cheering and laughing. At least I made the first 20 to finish .

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

We are using the nations of the 2011 Rugby World Cup as our inquiry path.

For this unit we are in one of four teams:

Brumbies, Force, Rebels, Stormers.

My team is Brumbies

There will be a number of tasks for us to navigate to achieve our goal of an excellent result in this unit. There are a mixture of individual and team tasks to be completed. The main task that will show our learning in this unit will be a Hyperstudio presentation about one of the countries in the World Cup competition.

Furniture Design Solutions

After
Before

We have been designing a model for the street. Our problem is we don’t have any chairs or sitting equipment to sit on. I have been designing a furniture chair, it has been paper Mashhad, painted and ready for it’s picture. Cardboard has been cut into small pieces. Barb wire has been struck-ed at the backrest to make it stiff. And a toilet roll is under neath the seat. To Be Continued......?

Swimming

Splash, water is splashing every where, it’s like I’m drowning in fun. I was soaking wet as I race with my friends. My free style isn't good but I’ll manage to do it, swimming has showed me to be a successful swimmer and helps me survive while I’m in the beach. My arms churned the water, my legs kicked like a bat out of hell! And Zoom! there I was, last to reach the end of the pool. I felt embraced, but may be I’ll manage one day.

Forestry/ If I Had A Job

If I had a job
It will be to lift up logs.

If I had a job
I wouldn't be a fob.

If I had a job
I'll bet in the morning there will be a fog.

If I had a job
I'll be just like Bob.

If I had a job

The Potato Chip

George Crum was the creator of this food (Potato Chips). The chip is an accidental invention.
This invention takes us back to the 80’s, it was a summer day when George Crum (the inventor) was a chief at an elegant resort in Sara toga Springs, New York.
A dinner guest was at the restaurant and ordered some of George’s french fries, but the fries were too thick for his taste. He rejected the order and so Crum redid the french fries and they became paper thin chips. And that’s how this type of food was born.
Crum’s date of birth was in 1822 in Sara Toga, New York. His death was in 1914 he was a native American Man. Not much can be found about his early life and education. He was the son of a mulatto jockey and an Indian maid.
Did you know he opened his own restaurant and he put a basket of some of his famous potato chips on every table. As you know now potato chips are every where, they come in all different sizes, packets and flavours.

My Highlighs From Last Term

reLooking Back - Looking Forward

Looking Back at Term 1 my learning has not been improving well. But it did not keep me down from having fun. I was enjoying Camp Take Charge, but mostly Rock up. There were all kinds of fun like Archery, Dunker and even swimming. It was breath taking. Just think of all the terms?, or even next year, there could be even more fun. I am also happy that the net books are finally here. My highlights of term 1 were awesome.

Looking forward- I am discovering new adventures, words nouns and verbs. My improvement today has been earned and my learning skills are better than I thought. Bigger, Better, Faster, and Stronger is our model or Topic.
Looking forward-

Bin It

This is my animated movie about Bin It.

At Point England we are learning to take charge by chucking rubbish in the bin. Feel free to comment on this movie. Enjoy :)

Verbs 1

Adverbs describe verbs and they tell us more about how the verb was performed (done). They also make your writing more interesting.This picture show you a lot of verbs. As you can see, I will explain all the verbs, running, hanging, tired, sweating and working out. They could be helped out with adverbs like: funnily, heavily, exhaustingly, etc.

My Letter At Home

Dear Mum and Dad,

How are you? Are you OK?

Anyway, I hope you are well.

I'm really enjoying school. I'm also webbing on my net book . My friends are cool, well most of them, they're very funny.... I guess. I like blogging, so more people can find out who I am, and playing Handball with my friends.

Well that's my life in school, about my friends and my net book. I've been caught playing games, on my netbook, when I'm not supposed to, I'm sorry.

Love, your son, Unaloto.

Camp

Wow! another camp can you believe that, I knew that this would be the best camp ever. There was cooking, singing, dancing, even new adventures, and so many more I can’t explain. What a way to start a holiday.
One of my special trips was Rock Up, and Dunker, the trips were this Tuesday. I really enjoyed both of them. There was more, like Ski Boards, Archery, and a game about team work.
I enjoyed camp and I can’t wait till next year.

Gimp Faces
