visiting Tamaki College

Wednesday,  September the 20th our students of year 8 and I got a opportunity to go to Tamaki college to see how it would be if were going there or not. When we got there there was a lovely lady here name was  Mrs Moore who was the deputy principal of TC. We all got into three groups and went to our classes.

Our first subject was Social studies we met teacher  named Mr Allison. We learnt about how people around the world how they arrive to school. For me well yesterday I walked pretty early to school because I had Basketball training. Then we had to create ourselves some new pair of shoes. My one was fake Roshes with Under Armour logo and a saying

Jhon worry. We had to say goodbye to Mr Allison because we went had to go to our next class.

Later on we met a Numeracy teacher Mrs Dunn. She taught us about Algebra. Incase you have not noticed that Algebra has letter and numbers. For example 2a + 3a = 5a but the it got even harder. We did lots of question which only my friend Stevenson could get the answers and was pretty lucky to get a chocolate.

After that we had interval and had a Muesli bar, Apple and a spring water bottle. Later on we went to our normal tech classes on Tuesday. My group is in graphics with Mr Pineda we are creating our own drink bottles. Mine is 1.25 liters, Grey and blue color, Flavour Pear and Apple and the theme is sports. Later after that we had Lunch time we had Subway, Apple and a water bottle.

30 minutes later we had our English classes to go to. I was with a teacher a teacher that I am really looking forward to attending his class his name is Mr Stevenson. Why I want to attend his class is because he has been working with my brother. Who has graduate last year and I wanted to be that same person as my brother when I go to TC.

2 pm we went to the Tamaki Recreation center and did 2 activities. We played a game don’t know what it is called but it was like tiggy but you can’t move with the ball. We played three or four rounds of this game and then went back to the hall to get ready to go home. Then we saw the deputy principal of TC and told us that the 1’st xv might have a chance to go to the A group if they can beat the lowest A group in there. When I heard that I really want to try and make the 1st xv team to make my school proud and communitie happy.

GOAL: For me next year my goals is to be like my older brother George. Why because he graduated, was a prefect and  made it to some rep teams for league like Akarana Falcons and  Vulcans.

Immersion Assembly

Sitting on the ground watching all the performances pretty excited to see team 5’s. Later on Mr Burt said give a round of applause for team…. 5 everyone clapped. Mrs Giant and the other teachers ran up to the stage. It was a big shock to all the teachers and students when they saw Mr Boko in his skirt.

Mrs Giant called upon Miss Cherry the Australian competitive. She was pretty humble in her little speech. Miss Cherry leapt into action. Her score was 3/7!  She was pretty sad because she vomited half way through her dance.

It was Miss Clock’s turn. She was pretty shy because she was speechless. Miss Clock did her dance but hit herself with the hula hoop and lost a tooth. Her score was ⅖ she was pretty disappointed about her score. She saw it was Mr Boko’s turn and knew he would be good!

It was Mr boko’s turn. He had a skateboard and did a 360 flip,ollie,180 and did a dark catch grind. He did it effortlessly, such a pro!  Mr Boko’s score was 10/10 - he was the winner for 2016 !!!   

Mrs Frodo went to Mr boko and gave him his gold medal. Mr Boko was so proud and waved to Miss Boko and his daughter, Miss berry was crying a lot but then her dad came to give a hug and Miss clock was crying too but with blood in her mouth pouring down.

Ancient Olympics

If I was alive when the Olympics first started - I would choose to participate in the sport of boxing.Why?   I would be a boxer because I love watching Joseph  Parker and his moves. It is pretty cool to hear that they used straps around there arms instead huge glove i'm sure just by one hit it will be sour. Im wondering right know if I was a world champ and played I'll think by one hit i'll have the fastest knock out. Also I'll make a move call it the Flying hit.
Here is a photo of what they wear to fight in.

Tessellation

Today room 5 maths class was doing Tessellation this is my Tessellation pattern I have done.

Revolution tour

On Thursday the 12th of May  Pt England school’s year 7 and 8 went to the hall. In the hall was the Revolution tour they came and performed for us by telling us 'we can do it', we can do things better. Then Regi introduced himself and the team they were mostly singers, they were pretty good. Regi played a song which I forgot but he played it on a trumpet.

Later on his friend came, she sang let it go it was cool barley everyone sang because it was a girl song to be honest. Soon as that finished Regi played another song which I also have no idea. After that he brought out two sisters and sang work by Rihanna. Next Regi told us some jokes and telling us that men and women are different.

Later he told us that he didn't have a mum or a dad and he did not know that he had brothers our sisters. He grew up in a foster home in America and look at him now he is know in the Revolution tour cool,funny and a person to look up to. Then he told us a little saying to us that goes like this' I can..You can..We can..I got your back'. What was soo cool about that is that it had enthusiasm Then he did a last song on his trumpet he did one call away. Then we all got up and did the running man challenge song.

What I like about the Revolution tour is that they make people laugh sometimes they talk about what they have been through in the past and other things. Maybe next time i’ll try and remember the songs that Regi played.

On Tuesday the 10th of may the whole pt England school came to the hall and watched a performance from america.

Immersion Assembly.

On the 1st day of term 2 Pt England school had a Immersion Assembly. 

As I see it  is the team inquiry where we do arts, making, building and creating. Team 1 started. Mrs George introduced what her team was doing. They are drawing the favorite things for what they like and putting it into paper such as chocolate, hokey pokey and rugby.

Team 2 are focusing on seasons like Spring, Autumn, Summer and Winter. Each class has a season Winter is Miss Eadie, Ms Szymanik has Summer, Mrs Nalder has Spring and Ms Tumahai has Autumn.

Team 3 are focusing on building and designing houses and other things. Their ideas were based on a movie they have been watching, inspired from the  T.V show Grand designs.

Team 4 are creating their own comic books using pastel in their coloring. They are even creating comics on their Chromebooks too.

Lastly Team 5 are focusing on on our school waka’s. They are Hinemoana (Blue), Te Aurere (Red), Hikianalia (Yellow) and Hokule’a (Green).

I really liked team 4 because they are doing something creative that involves drawing and making things. I also can’t wait to see what they will make this term and see what their different character's name are.

Fiafia Night

Last night (7th of April) Pt England school had our annual Fiafia. It was so cool when I got there there were heaps of people. There were people eating food, talking, laughing and enjoying the time in school. When we had to get into our dressing rooms everyone was nervous and exciting at the same time.

Poem

My name is Izac,I like to watch movies on my Imac, I love to eat Big Macs, Some of my friends enjoy the poolsThey always think they're cool,

Cruising down the street to sunday school, walking in slippers I look like a fool,I ran in the hall just for fun,Then came outside to enjoy the sun,
Eating my lunch - A drink with a bun,I think after this i’m number one,

I have a friend named Tihi He does not even know his Mihi.Tihi’s got a friend name April,She likes to ride on an angel,Her favourite color is purple,

she always think she’s grateful,April has a friend name Night,Night like to fly a kite,He likes the color White,He also like to Write,He likes to take big Bites.

Amazing Race

     Hey there have you ever did something special with your friends or classmates. Well i’m going to tell you about my story of what Pt England year 7 and 8’s did.

On 27th of October 2015 year 7 and 8’s had a Amazing Race. We got put into groups of A’s and B’s 1, 2, 3 I was with three people they were in my class there name were Night, Toma and Jordan. They were in my class our group was A2 we had to go do activities that there were only five stations. The stations were Fear Factor, Photo Booth, Pea Piper, Cooke face and Brain Booster. They were all cool stuff to do But we were with other people from our class but different number but still in Room 3A….

Me and my group went to the Brain Booster first the Teacher Running that was Mrs Fuamatu in Room one and Miss Clark Running the same game but in room two. We had five questions some of it were hard and some of it just easy. We only solved one and it was what is ancient that you can see throw and that people still have been using it the answer was Window. They were others but can’t remember some of them but there was one that you had to connect the dots by only four lines it was hard….

Our second activity was my favorite it was the photo booth we had to dress up into Ballerinas, Boxer, Hawaii and more. The Teacher running the Photo booth was Mrs Tele’a It was so cool we had to do action photo’s, serous photo’s and funny photo’s It was so cool taking photo’s with my team what was so funny is that me and Jordan were wearing ballerina clothing it was so funny to wear it that it looked like we were girls….

Our third one was Cookie face The Teacher running Cookie face was Mrs Flaval. We had to to place the cookie on our forehead and try and eat it without using our hands. My first go was a fail but started getting better but still no cookie into my mouth. What I liked about the Cookie face is that we all kept on trying no one moaning just people never giving up.

My lucky to last one was Pea Piper we all had to get a straw and suck it and hold your breath it was so hard. The Teachers also running it was Miss Hockly and Miss Misela. We all got into groups it was hard that when I suck it it taste like peas in my mouth. We came third in the race we were all finished our games and packing down.

It was so cool to have the the Amazing Race it was a good chance to play with our classmates and friends to get along.

I hope we can do our Amazing Race again this term our next year. When the year 8’s will be leaving and the year 7’s will be year 8’s and we can show the year 7’s next what we did when we were year 7’s.

Wild Orphans

A time something went missing.

When I just turned 11, my dad brought me a watch that looked pretty sweet. It was just a normal watch I didn't think it was so expensive. The color of it was blue, the numbers were colour gold and the picture on it was my favorite program called Regular Show. That is why I think it was a pretty expensive watch after I looked more closely at it. From that day on it was my favorite watch and the first watch that I had ever owned.

That same day while I was walking to school I checked the time on my watch to see if I was late. But once I looked at my wrist it was gone I had no clue where I left it. So I said to myself did I lose it or did I just leave it at home. So I went to school still wondering where my watch was. I was so emotional that I felt so sad.

Straight after school I went home looking for my watch I looked everywhere and as I was looking I had released that I didn't get my watch off my dad. So I said to my mum “When is dad coming home from work?” she said “Around 10:00 o’clock” I had to wait till the next day because I had to go to sleep early for school.. But couldn't go to sleep because I was so excited for it.

The next day I told my dad where is my Watch and he said “It’s in my bag go and see.” I looked in my dad’s bag there it is I found my watch I was so happy that now I can take it to school and I will now the time so I won’t be late.
