The Marshmallow Monster

On a beautiful night in Wake Forest with the moon shining upon the lake with a glittering view, there silently sat a little kid roasting his marshmallow in fire. Unaware, from behind was a taniwha. As the predator approached the harmless little kid as he was creating a huge spot of blackness over him. The black spot was noticed by him, he was frozen with shock on his face. The kid pointed up his stick with the marshmallow putting him into a position of self defense, but the taniwha suddenly changed his facial expression to a starving hungry one.

The harmless taniwha played with the kid like a dog plays with his ball. As the taniwha was fed marshmallows one after another, the kid became frustrated once he was left with one last marshmallow.

The taniwha snached the last treat out of the kids hands with hunger and the taniwha was waiting for another treat. They both gave each other facials of cluelessness.The taniwha was clueless with what the kid was thinking until he knew, he suddenly switched into attack mode with no mercy.

The kid ran with fear with the taniwha in pursuit but he only made it a few meters. The taniwha approached the kid but as the kid feared the taniwha, he held a pillow against the him. The taniwha was tricked and he switched into hungry mode once again.

The kid threw the pillow with the taniwha fetching but once the taniwha caught the pillow, he saw the kid once again running with ultimate fear. With the kid gone, the taniwha grabbed a stick and began poking it through the pillow. He was once again standing there but as he raised the stick upon the fire, the pillow incinerated like ashes leaving the taniwha with nothing.

My Creative Toy

•  

• This term our topic is toy story also we were given a task to create a toy.

I finished my toy in time and I'm proud of myself but It sucks that it's not for myself. I spent a lot of time on my toy then doing work because it's cool that I'm giving my toy to the person that likes me from my family. The person I'm giving my toy to will probably break it and I don't want that to happen but here is a movie that I've put together and I hope you enjoy it.

Meeting Ben Carson

Tuesday 6TH 2012 was the day that Pt England School from year 5 to year 8 got to have the chance to meet Dr Ben Carson. The event cost 3$ for transport( the bus). During the bus ride My friend and I were playing a game named I Dare You. Once we arrived at the Manukau Telstra clear stadium. Then Mrs Nua said " we have reached our destination". Once we hoped off the bus I thanked the bus driver for the ride, I looked around and I see that we weren't the only school there. The school that was there were Otahuhu primary, Panmure bridge, edge water Colledge and many more other schools. When we were seated there was a guy that introduced him self and his name is Henry. He was so funny I wanted to laugh my brain off. Then Ben Carson stood on stage and all off us croud gave him a round off a pause. He said T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G. and there was a meaning for every letter in T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G.

Tallents

Honesty

Iniciative

Notice

King it

Bang

Intallegent

God

So there you have  it, it it only possible if you believe in yourself, have faith in yourself and T.H.I.N.K. B.I.G.

My Character Description About Mr Burt

 

About Mr Burt is that he always wears glasses on his forehead and wears a watch on his right wrist.Unlike Mrs Nua, he’s not used to growling but he has a staunch look on his face. Also he’s slightly tall, has wrinkles, has purple cheeks and has lines on his forehead.

Mr Burt is the kind of man that is kind to kids but also visitors. He has been a principal for a long time which means he’s an old man.(No Offence) To all of Point England he is very important but scary when it comes to growling.

He always come to school early every morning because he loves to drink coffee but while he drinks his coffee he walks around the school talking to kids or visitors. I think that he also loves every one and that he communicates with every one in sight and he he cares about every one when their in trouble.

I love learning new interesting facts about Mr Burt because he's a communicative and lovable person.

When we are in trouble i'm sure he's growling us for our own good but I think that it because he loves us.

Basketball

 On Thursday 26TH of July we had a basketball session with room twenty and some tutors named Tai and shay. We got split into groups to get ready to challenge each other but first we learnt some techniques . They told us a lot of techniques that involve dribbling. There was a jump stop, fake passing then the actual pass and the one two( a way to stop and catch, pass or shoot). 

 Later on, Tye gave us some challenges using the the techniques that they taught us. Tai said that the challenge was to  run and dribble the ball from the opposite end of us and back to the beginning but when we were finished we had to pass the ball to the next person in your team.

 Later on I felt like I was in an actual game and that I would own the game but there was just no way I could have learnt l those techniques and not be able to remember it all. Until next week I just can’t wait to master basketball again. Also I just can’t wait to be taught new techniques, skills and participation.

Also on the behalf of Pt England School we would love to say thank you to the Basketball tutors club and I hope they will see me in the basketball :Lakers team!!

The Busk Walk

On a cloudy day where all the clouds formed in and gathered, There was a family of six. This family of six had two daughters, three sons and just their only parent the father. Liam, the fathers name had said to his kids “hey kids, should we go for a bush walk?” The kids replied ”NO” with such hate but they had no choice but to go so then they were off but as they arrived to the bush walk, there was a sign planted into the ground say DO NOT LEAVE THE TRAIL! VERY HIGH RISK OF GETTING LOST OR LOSING A FAMILY MEMBER SO KEEP TO THE TRAIL!!!

They thought to themselves who would be dumb enough to leave the trail. The family left at exactly 11:00 o’clock and they began to hike but they weren’t too familiar with the bush walk. They were about ⅕ of the way and they were hoping that it wouldn’t rain but it did. As they walked, Liam’s eldest had stepped into gooey gravy mud also hoping that wasn’t poo.
The other family members stood there laughing while he was covered and soaked with rain and Poe kind of looking mud.

As the sun cleared away, that family had a stitch from laughing their guts out but later on they had just found out it was just mud. While they were walking acting like nothing happened, they met a grizzly bear that suddenly jumped out on a surprise attack. They jumped with such fright and fear and then they all discovered that they all were one hundred meter sprinters as they ran for their lives but, the silliest thing was that they had ran out of the trail of the bush walk.

After their one hundred meter sprint, they gathered into a circle and panicked about which problem to think about because they got frightened by the bear and they had left the bush walk ways. As time flew by, they were desperately seeking for water as they were walking, and the sun was so hot that it almost cause the planet Earth to evaporate all the water.

The bear had once again sneakily jumped out with a huge roar leaving the family no choice but to run again. The family ran so fast that they thought they should join the Olympics team in one hundred meter sprints but as they sprinted, the saw they sign that they saw earlier and they were so surprised with a lot of happiness and cheerfulness because of two reasons. 1. They thought they would die of old age trying to find their way back in the bush walk trail, and 2. They also thought they would be eaten alive by the grizzly bear.

They all hopped into their car and drove home with no injuries and safe and sound but most of all   been very happy but they were so lucky of not getting eaten alive and not been lost in the bushes. They had learnt a very valuable lesson and they all agreed to never ever take a bush walk ever again.

My Favorite Toy

My favorite toy that I’ve chosen that was the best throughout my childhood, was my remote control helicopter because it could fly so high up to the sky until it loses signal to my remote, then it would just drop but as it gets closer to the ground, I would start it up again then fly.

  At the age of six my helicopter was given to me by my brother on Christmas in 2005 and I lost it in 12/05/2006. I remembered how it was looked like, it had metal parts but the weird thing was that the pellets were at the bottom of the helicopter and I couldn't let anyone ruin it as for an example, my little brother.

  My helicopter meant everything to me and I didn’t want anyone trying to wreck it. On 25TH May 2006, It was a very hot day and I took my helicopter to the beach with me and played around with it. When I arrived at the beach, I was the very first to jump out of the car to test flight my helicopter and everything went fine until I flew out near the water.

  As my helicopter was getting further and further, I tried to bring it back but the wind would let me and that's when I started to panic. My helicopter was losing signal as it went further and I started to panic more but while I was panicking, the whole of my family was just sitting on their mat laughing.

  I thought to myself that I would never ever bring it to the beach ever again but it was too late. It seemed like mother nature ganged up on my helicopter because a strong wave of wind smashed my helicopter out of the air and leaving the rest to the waves of the beach. I was devastated after something horrible had just happen to my favourite toy but now was.

 I had learnt a lesson after that accident had happened and as I went home, I highly regretted taking my favourite toy to the beach but I’ve only got one thing to say.
“ CURSE YOU WINDS AND THE WAVES OF THE SEA, WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS?”  

Mrs Nua's Problem

My Toy Plan

This term our theme was all about toys and the Movies Toy Story. During the past few weeks we had to create a plan on how to make a toy.

Here is my plan and it is named 1 player basketball. It took me quiet a long while to create this plan but once I've created my toy, Our other task was to create a pop up card so that they are not only given just a toy.

I'm creating my toy for my cousin because he eat, breathes, loves and play basket ball. This is the pop up card he will be receiving and I hop he likes it.
So there you have it and please wish me luck on making my basketball plan and I really think he will love it.

My Goal Settings

This term in my classroom room 22, we had to set goals for our selves. I've set my set and it was to build up my upper body strength and I'm proud I've achieved it.  Here goes a little animation I've created so enjoy.

Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived near the woods, every time she went out she would wear a red long cloak so  everyone in her village called her Little red riding hood. One morning, Little red riding hood asked her mother if she could go to visit her grandmother, because they haven’t seen each other for awhile.

So later that  day Little red riding set off to visit her grandmother, but her mother told her daughter to stay on the footpath and stay away from the woods, off went Little red riding hood.

  But when Little Red Riding Hood noticed some lovely flowers in the woods, she forgot her promise to her mother.  She picked a few. Watched the butterflies flit about for awhile, listened to the frogs croaking and then picked a few more. Little Red Riding Hood was enjoying the warm summer day so much, that she didn't notice a dark shadow approaching out .of the forest behind her.

Suddenly the wolf appeared behind her, and olf  asked in a friendly way “What are you doing out in the woods all by yourself little girl?”
“I’m on my way to see my  grandmother that lives down path” replied Little red riding hood,The wolf replied OK and ducked off.


As the wolf sprinted down the path, catching his breath from all that running, gently the wolf knock on the door as if he was little red riding hood. The Grandmother had been tricked  and thought it was her little red riding hood, but then got dream shattered as soon as the wolf busted her door down,The Grandmother was found lying on the ground dead

The little girl was very happy to see her granny but then everything changed when she took a look at her new grandmother the big bad wolf, his mouth was dripping with blood and thirsty for more, his eyes were red as if they were full of lava, little red riding hood’s heart dropped to the ground.........

Little red riding hood was as furious as an erupting volcano, she dropped her batch of goodies and challenge the wolf to a battle of combat,they both jumped to the roof and started to battle, they battle so hard that the roof came straight off.

Awhile later the battle was over and coming in victorious was the little red riding hood with cuts and bruises but survived the deadly combat, the house was torn apart but hiding in the shadows was the grandmothers body  lying on the floor. In the Batch of goodies was a magic potion which would make anyone come back to life.

Little red riding hood slipped open her grandmothers mouth and in went the potion, and a few seconds later she came back to life.

Years went by, while the grandmother was still watching over her little red riding hood and they lived happily ever after.     The End

Retold By Myself

Sapasui Chllenge In Room 22

After  a hard half a day of running at the eastern zone tournament, I was starving and I knew that there would be a shared lunch waiting for me but what I also was hoping to be cooked with the chop Sue is with love and respect.

There was an explosion full of tasteful flavours that was indescribable. I knew that it was made with sapasui ingredients but also with the two main ingredients LOVE & RESPECT. Also it was so tasteful & delicious that thought I was going to die with a full, fat stomach. At the begging of the time for when I couldn’t have a second serving that I badly wanted but I got up and said Fa Fe Tai Ma Mea Ai ( thank you for the food) to Miss Muliaumaseali’i  and the cooks(Raenan, Kitiona, Alexander, Ahsin, Te-Rina, Roezeala, Jessica P, Oshania and Moala.

I reckon in the restaurant that the five emotions I felt was been respectful, Thankful, Appreciated, Honoured and Deliciously Full.

Here is my menu if I had a chance to open up and create my own Restaurant

MENU	DRINKS
Menes With Chicken	Water
Potato salad with Roast chicken	Juice
Potato’s with steak and gravy	Fizzy Drink
TARO	Fruite salad Drink

Cross Country

It was just moments away from our annual occasion and I was prepared and also excited from what position I would probably come in. I also was so excited to run the course
As my age group was getting prepared for the most devastating event, we stretched but also was we were hoping that were wouldn’t be wearing mud as we would run the cross country.
Splash went the mud as I ran past, but with me thinking I was going to sink in quicksand. When I was struggling to run through the squishy, gravy mud, I struggled to balance but not to sink in quicksand.
As I ran through the entire bath of mud, My shoes were encapsulated and sucked in by such a thick layer of a spongy mattress but then suddenly I ran without a shoe. I barely made it past the quicksand but my shoe was overloaded with a lot gooey gravy.
As I was jogging through the bath full of gooey, gravy mud, I was keeping my pace so that I made sure for no one to straight past me.
For us twelve and thirteen year old kids, we had to run an extra length and I thought to myself that I would probably stop but I kept pushing myself.
As I was reaching the finish line by passing the second to last cone, there was a wonderful feeling in me as if I was reborn again.  It was a huge relief for me getting closer and closer to the finish line.
Then the time came for when I crossed the line with burning feet and with my lungs desperately searching for oxygen. I reckon that it was a sense of an a achievement with a medal winning effort placing in second.

I felt so relieved about my position( 2ND place) because I never thought I would have ever made it in the top ten, five or three to go to the eastern zone cross country but I’ve got to say is go MATATUA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamel Herring

As you could see that I've also put together a little presentation also about Jamel Herring so sit back and enjoy.

Jamel Herring

As you can see I've put together a little animation about Jamel Herring. The reason why a created a little animation is because that it was a task for the 2012 Olympics that Jamel Herring would be competing in. Also in my classroom we had to choose a athlete but also create an animation about them. The athlete that I have chosen is Jamel Herring so sit back and enjoy.

Mahe Drysdale

In the finals of the men’s rowing, there was a closely fought battle. Mahe Drysdale, a New Zealand rower made it in the finals of the 2000m rowing. Mahe Drysdale had made an excellent start and an outstanding finish.

Bang goes the gun at the start of the race and the rowers are off. Mahe Drysdale didn’t lead the race all the way but he managed to hang in there.  Years of sweat and toil, Mahe Drysdale had just past the half way mark and the crowd went wild but also there was a huge roar of cheering. Mahe Drysdale was working desperately to capture that medal and as he was close to the finish line, It was a huge relief that Mahe Drysdale had came from fourth to first. He was leading by a far lead and we could tell that he wanted that gold medal.

Mahe Drysdale crossed the line ahead of everyone and what was coming from the crowd was a huge roar. He slapped the water thinking it was a magic moment but unfortunately for the other rowers, they worked so desperately to capture that gold medal for themselves. It was a closely fought battle as the rowers were announced first, second and third place.

It was such a magic moment for New Zealander Mahe Drysdale because he had crossed the line with such a relief and most people in the crowd were cheering for him but as they cheered, he had just made new zealand history.  As he was hopping off his canoe, he collapsed on the pontoon exhausted. We had known that he had given it all he’s got and that he would do anything to keep the crowd cheering. He raised his arms with happiness while there was a huge roar of cheering.

I was so amazed when the New Zealander Mahe Drysdale for when I had just witnessed a magic moment of a New Zealand history moments. I reckoned that most of New Zealand had celebrated for he served his country and won. New Zealand would have been nothing without him "So thank you Mahe Drysdale"!

What I learnt At Life Education!

   
     The things I've learnt During life education hours for three weeks was mainly about making the right choice. What I first learnt in the first week when I went to life education with my classroom, was that making a bad or good choice leads to negative or positive consequences. One thing that I found most interesting was that how you could change your life and make a difference from who you really are.          
     The second week was about body parts and how they digest food and liquid, also that is about making the right choices of how we could treat our body correctly.  I learnt about the large intestines and why they are so important. One of the things that I learnt about the large intestines was that why the faeces
( poo) are brown. It is because of all the dead blood cells that mix with in the poo or wasted food.
     Last week we learnt about making a bad choice of smoking and that it will lead to a very effective and negative consequence later on in life. The consequence could be many things like removing a body part or many different types of cancers.  Also the large intestines squashes and squeezes then passes the liquid to the small intestines for getting ready to urinate but as for the rest, it turns into faeces( poo).
This week I'm hoping to learn something exciting and interesting but not to interesting.

The Olympic Rings

Pierre de Coubertin was the founder of the modern olympic games also the founder of the olympic flag.  On the Olympic flag there were five rings but six colours that represents the five continents.  The colours that aper on the Olympic flag represents these continents.


-The Blue Represents Europe
-The Green Represents Australia (Oceania)
-The Yellow Represents Asia
-The Red Represents America
-The Black Represents Africa


Also the Olympic flag means in different ways of goodwill, peace and truth. At the opening and closing ceremonies, the torch is lit from Olympia, Greece and transported to the hosting country ready for the opening ceremony, but also at the hosting country they will also rise the Olympic flag as the torch is transported.

Playground Memories

My Favourite place is the the wobbly bridge  on the senior playground which is in between the two rugby fields. The wobbly bridge is my favourite activity to walk across because it is a challenge.   It is a special for me because that is where I have created and left a lot of wicked memories. Most of my memories were about playing tiggy and hanging out with my mates.

The artist whose style I copied to use for my painting is Pablo Picasso. His style of painting is know as Cubism. He used dark colours, and distorted figures in his works. The truth is I used this style because it seemed to me to be the  easiest to recreate. I knew that Pablo Picasso would suit my painting because I wanted to use his style of art throughout my background.

I like the way how I created and painted my desorted colours and how I made them stand out. I also like the way how my picasso background makes my painting of my bridge also stand out. I think it looks magnificent to me.

My Uncle's Birthday

During a beautiful sunshine rising, I knew it was a special day for my uncle. The reason why it was such a special day was because that it was his birthday and he would be turning thirty-one.
As I was singingly having a shower I heard that there would be a change of plans that those who would be coming to his thirty first birthday, that they would have to wear colours to support the NSW(New South Wales) or Queensland. New South Wales was blue and Queensland was dark red.
   I quickly jumped out of the shower then humbly searched through my closet filled with clothes. I figured that since I have hardly any dark red clothes that maybe I could support New South Wales. Just Before I had adjusted my left foot shoe, uncle rang and was asking for my mum. My uncle had told my mum to tell my brother, sister and I that we would be going to a buffet joint and that we had to perfectly dress up.
  As my mum was warming up the car, I was incredibly in a good mood to eat. Soon after that my mum beeped the horn for my brother, sister and I to hurry up. As I entered the car I felt nervous about who would be at his birthday just because I was planning to eat hard out. If there would be hardly any people then i’ll eat hard out. During the ride, on our way to the buffet joint I was playing a silent game with my brother.
 Once we arrived, I saw that our birthday uncle also arrived but it looked like he was in a very good mood. Since my uncle was paying me, I immediately went straight to the fare of the buffet. Once I saw the dessert area I knew that I would try to make a it a mission to not eat dessert before junk food. Later on after that all us family were prepared to eat and we all waited for the birthday boy to come in then we would pay our respects but also sing happy birthday to him.
 As he came into the store then we all sang happy birthday for him. When it was time for him to blow his candles and also said a speech but while he was saying his speech then he cried with tears of joy. Later on after that then we were free to eat and then I knew that I couldn’t make it a mission so then I went straight to the dessert area and scooped as many scoops of ice cream as it could fit.
 After bowls of dishes I was on to my seventeenth bowl of ice cream but also other desserts. My stomach was so full of food that I thought I was going to explode, I reckoned that it was as full as a pig’s stomach. Two minutes after that my uncle walked around the store holding his cake for anyone to grab. I thought to myself that since I had too many ice cream and since I was full that I wouldn’t snatch or grab a piece of cake.
 For about half an hour I cooled my stomach down and I tried to focus on it. My uncle said it was time to leave and but I quickly had my last bowl of ice cream, chocolate mud cake, fruit salad and strawberry muffin. Once I was finished my family and I went to say thanks and happy birthday to my uncle.
 During the boring ride back home, I played the silent game again but this time with myself. I really wished we could have stayed longer but time was up and food was gone. I agreed with my mum that when I go home, I going to go straight to my bed and go to sleep.

Once we finally arrived home I hurried my mum to open the door and I badly wanted to go sleep. My mum said that I could go to sleep or play the PS2(play station 2). I very badly wanted to play the game but I was tiered so then I chose to go to sleep.

My Character Discription About Unalotto

 

Unalotto is my friend that had long hair as long as a mop but got cut into a funny looking Mohawk. He shouldn't be as short as he should but he is as chubby as a  crinkly dog. Unalotto has tan-ish skin but also Unaloto is the kind of person that thinks of funny things to say but also has a funny accent.
He always agrees with agreeable people and he isn't the type of angry person and the one thing he’s most proud of is been proud to be a Tongan.

The things he likes to do is tell silly jokes and be funny but sometimes he can muck around. When visitors come around he turns into responsible mode. Also Unalotto could be very funny when it comes to sport events because he would give every five minutes.

I enjoy talking and walking with him. We hope that would be friends with popular kids when we go to college with each other.  I also like watching him act funny but get himself into trouble.
He was really enjoyable to play with and to moke with but those were very good times and sadly I miss him and theres just one thing to say," I miss you and love you Unalotto"!

Robyn Kahukiwa - Ko Te Hongi

Last week their was a topic rotation named Taonga Time. Taonga Time is about places that we learn different artist/objects, In my class we learnt about an artist named Robyn KahuKiwa.   This movie shows you a time lapse of my recreation of her work.

Advance 2012 IF I CAN DO IT YOU CAN TO!

I want to achieve and advance my goals for 2012. My goals for 2012 are my reading, writing and my maths. Mostly sports because I'm sure I got the skills for it. Also I want to improve in my creative arts activities but maybe it's because I have been mostly around the museum looking at the paintings. I also really want to achieve the way I act to be a good role model or just change my self. The last thing I would want to achieve is meeting a V.I.P. before I go to University.

My Personal Goals For 2012

My achievement I was most proud of inside my class room was keeping my desk clean in room 19 because it was very messy for two whole terms. The things I was most proud of outside of my class room was competing with the year eights that are now year nines at Tamaki College. In reading my goal is to read more word/ books and to achieve this goal I need to go to the library to get more books. In writing my goal is to read/ write/ spell more words But to achieve this goal I need to focus on my writing and spelling. In maths my goal is to know my statistics and a little bit on my times tables. The learning area I need to improve in most is reading my words and writing because it seems hard for my level/ age. My goal for this year around the school is to sit down while I eat and not walk around while I'm eating also I would like to act like a respectful person.

Our First Day At Net Ball

On Thursday 9TH of February after morning tea rm22 went to a net ball session with our tutor named Liz who was from the Auckland Netball Association.

One Thursday after morning tea Rm22 had a net ball session. The reason why we had to go to the net ball session is so that we could learn some skills and so that we could teach other people how to play if they had no idea what to do. Before we went we had to wear the right gear before we played or we might get blistering feet.
Liz told us to stand on a dot or cross on the court. All we done was practicing our passing and our skills to see if we had net ball in us. What we first started to do was passing but Liz gave us a frequent demonstration. All we had to do was to focus on our passing and landing on our two feet. Liz said to land with your knees bent and not feet straight or else your break your leg.
The next task was we had to pass the ball to the other person on the apostate side of us but only when they jumped over. It was quiet easy but when you jumped over, you had to focus on your landing and the ball. The time I through the ball to Joe, I’d just done it on time.
During our passing lesson that we enjoyed until we had to change to a game. The game we changed to was sort of like net ball but there was four squares with a dot inside of them but they were at the far corner, the aim was to hit the ball onto the dot. We were sorted into two teams named the tags and the non tags.
In ten Minuit's time we had to stop and pack up. After we packed up we cleaned up, said thank you to Liz and then we went to class.

Reunited With My Net Book

On the 2ND week of school 2012 I had a feeling that my net book was calling my name out and it had plus Tuesday was the day that we got our net books back and we felt happy. all net books had to be re-imaged so that we could use it again. I know that this year 2012 would be better than last year because I've re-united with my net book and my friends also i'm happy my net wasn't in pain while it was a 6 week holiday but I still had fun without my net book in the holidays.
