Netbook Reflection

Chicken Questions

This is my google drawing of questions where all the answers are Chickens. I hope you like it.

My reflection for 2013

Reading: Reading is good for you because you learn to read hard words and recognise letters as well. I like to read at home with my mum and at school with my teacher . I like to learn about new things when i read. My goal for reading is to move up to a higher level.

Writing: My favourite work is writing because I like to write about different things. I like to tell people my stories about what I do at home and school. My goal in writing next year is to write longer stories and not get help all the time. 

Maths I like to do maths because we get to go on Maths Whizz and Xtramaths. We learn lots of different things by going on maths whizz like adding, subtracting and multiplication. I like maths because it helps me learn how to add things up so that if i buy something at the shop I know how much it will cost. My goal for next year is to be in a higher maths group. 

Conclusion: This year i'm trying my hardest to not fight by keeping my feet and hands to myself so I don’t get on detention. I hope I can take my netbook home at the end of the year so I can play games and keep up with my learning. I enjoyed being in Miss Lavakula’s class this year and have learnt lots of exciting things. I am looking forward to being a year 6 next year.

Damien Ambury farm

Team 4 have been learning about things on the farm. As part of our learning we traveled on the bus to Ambury farm. It was very hot. We had sore legs when we walked everywhere and saw other animals. But we only saw one bull. When we came back we all went outside and played handball. Then the bell rang. Inside the ambury farm there were lots of animals like cow,horse,pigs,duck,chicken, calf and baby duckling. When we had to milk the cows that was my favourite part. We were really tired and when all of us finished.

Athletics Day 2013

On Friday 8th November Point england school had athletics day. There were lots of activities set up on the field and on the reserve. We could wear our house colours. I forgot to bring my colours so I had to wear my uniform. I was with the year 5 boys. Our first event was the sprints. It was fun. Mr Burt was the starter. We lined up for our heats. Mr Burt said “take your mark, get set,” then we heard BANG as the clapper went. I took off down the track running as fast as I could to the end. I finished 4th in my heat and sadly didn’t make the finals. When we had finished we moved onto our next activity which was high jump. Finally it was my turn to jump. I ran up to the mat and jumped over the bar “yes” I thought as I made it, but suddenly I felt a thump as I landed on the ground, i was laughing because I missed the mat. We did lots of events but my favourite part was tug of war. I liked it because it was lots of fun. We had to get into our house groups so we could compete against each other. I’m in Te Arawa and we didn’t win any but I had heaps of fun. The best bit was when we pulled the rope and we let go and the Takitimu team all fell over. When it was all over I was feeling very happy and tired. I can’t wait for athletics day next year to try and do better.

Why I should have my netbook

I think I should have my netbook so I can learn on my netbook. I need it for reading and maths.If i don't have my netbook I have to use pencil and paper, I must treat my netbook the right way and don't go on other things that i'm not allowed to go on i must treat my netbook the way it should be treated like respect it and go on the right thing you have to go on and do your work i will learn how to stop going on other thing bad i will stop doing that on my netbook from now i won't do that again.

Persuasive writing

No we should not have school Monday to Thursday and Friday be part of the weekend. In my opinion we should stay at school to get better at everything, like reading, writing and math. If we only come to school from Monday to Thursday we are not learning very much and may not get good jobs when we leave school. I think this because our teachers can help us learn and show us how to be better at things.

crosscountry

Yesterday after lunch Room 13 lined up outside the classroom to get ready for cross country. All of Pt England School was sitting on the courts in their age lines waiting for the races to begin.  I was so excited that we were having cross country.

The first race was the 5 year old boys and girls. They ran really fast and I was cheering and shouting for them. I was feeling very excited while I was waiting for my race to start. I liked having cross country because it was like a real race, and I wanted to try to come first.When i was running on the field it was so slippery my favourite part that i  liked is when we were running on the grass we all had 1 lap around the whole field.

It was amazing to hear Aidan won.Aidan was the one that came first I was really tired because it was a long run. when i came back to the finish line i had mud all over me.The mud covered my feet it was so slippery i slipped on the muddy puddles. That’s why i like running because i like getting fit and skinny so i can be fast like the other people.click here for the movie

King and Queen

Today in C.R.E Mrs Clarke told us a story about Esther.



we are learning to be and do the best that we can. We can do this by being good to each other

Ephesians 2: 10 God planned for us to do good things.

Is it easy to say sorry?

Today we learned about a story in the bible.It was Onesimus  philemon and paul.Onesimus stole from philemon and paul.Paul wrote a letter to philemon on behalf of Onesimus.Onesimus returned back to Colossae and said sorry.

I think that it's easy to say sorry because...it,s the right thing to do
people can say...I for give you

My Immersion Assembly

This is about what happened at immersion assembly at the beginning of Term 3. On the first day of school for Term 3 we went to the hall to have our Immersion assembly. It was time for team 4 to get up and do their play. The teacher’s that were acting as three little pigs were Miss Ouano, Miss Lavakula and Mr Sommerville. Mr Marks was the big bad scary wolf he was the one that was going to be blowing down the houses. The first pig built her house of straw. The wolf came and told the pig to let him in. The pig said "No!!!" The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down, then he ate the little pig. The second pig built her house from sticks.The wolf came again and told the pig to let him in. The pig said "No!!!" The wolf huffed and puffed and blew the house down, then he ate the little pig. The last little pig was very clever and built his house from bricks. Along came the wolf, he could smell bacon. The wolf tried to blow the pigs house down but he couldn't because it was to strong. The wolf tried to climb down the chimney but the little pig had a pot of boiling water on the fire. When the wolf came down the chimney he burnt his bottom, the wolf quickly ran out the door and never came back.

My trip to Kelly Tarltons

In the morning when the bell rang we came to class with our water bottles and lunch. “Yes,” I shouted, “we are going to Kelly Tarltons today.” I grabbed my bag and lined up at the door ready to go to the hall. The rest of team 4 were waiting. I was super excited. Miss Garden said the prayer, then it was time to get on the bus. When we arrived at Kelly Tarltons room 13 and 16 went into the education room. As we walked down the stairs our class were shouting and being silly. Miss Lavakula said “that’s not the Pt England way, walking quietly!” We entered the classroom and sat down on the mat. Janice introduced herself to us. She showed us some pictures of things in Antarctica.When we all saw the pictures, it was really cool to see one of our students Promise get to wear some clothes that they wore at Scott hut. My morning tea was a sausage, scooby doo biscuit and a le snak with my bottle. My favourite part of the Kelly Tarlton's was the travelator. It was my first time being at Kelly Tarltons and I loved it there. I was so happy then all of the Pt England people came back to school so we can have our lunch.

What is a Food Chain?

listen to ‘Damien what is a food chain’ on Audioboo

A food chain is what living things eat in an ecosystem. It starts with a producer like plankton. Then you have a consumer like Krill. Producers are eaten by consumers. Then you have a predator like a penguin. The predator eats the consumer. An Orca also a predator, they eat the penguins. For example, an Orca eats the penguin, the penguin eats the krill, the krill eats the plankton.

Antarctic Food Chain

In room 13 we have been learning about the Antarctic Food Chains. Here is what I have done to show what a Leopard seal eats.  Please leave me a comment.

Will.I.Am

Miss Lavakula told us that there was a special visitor coming to our assembly. When we saw that it was Will.I.Am, he was so happy to see us. He came to our school to give Manaiakalani a cheque for $100,000.00 All the point england students were excited. Will.I.Am sings scream and shout that is the best song ever some people and I like listening to it. When he came we were all saying “woo”. when i saw him on tv i saw the Point England students too.

Rugby league

RL Benji Says from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.
On Tuesday our whole class went to the courts for a lesson in rugby league. For our training we had to learn some new skills. We learned how to pass, attack and defend. For the first step we had to do a warm up, it was called Benji says. Our coach James tells us what to do and we have to copy him. If he said Benji says high knees we have to do that, but if he doesnt says Benji says we had to keep doing what he said before. When we finished our warm up we got into 2 teams to play catch and pass. We had to pass the ball to our team mates 10 times, the other team had to try to stop us getting to 10. Our next skill that we learnt was how to pass the ball backwards to our team mates. after that we played octopus we had to ran and some people had to stand and lean to the side to try and touch them.the next game we played was duck duck goose it was so fun

James the Eel

Once upon a time there was an eel named James who lived in the Omaru Creek.. The colour of it was brown and it was old. The rubbish was in the water, the water smelled stink.. It smelled like there was a dead rat. He lived with his family and friends. One day James got sick of the dirty water and wanted to go look for a new home. He looked and found a new home where the water was clean. James took his family and friends there and lived happily ever after.
