All of the countries in the British Empire were red or pink. I have highlighted the countries in the British Empire during the Victorian Era in red or pink.

Damien How to be a good Pt Englander explanation

How to be a good Pt Englander

How to be a good Pt Englander is to help kids with there work and do the right thing. We do this to be kind to others and adults so they can be kind to us.

To be a good Pt Englander you should be helpful. You should help kids with there work so they can learn. I help other kids by spelling words that they don’t know.

Another way to be an good Pt Englander is to be kind to one another. I do this by picking them up taking them to the sick bay. This is important because then everyone feels happy, safe and want to come to school.

The last way to be a good pt Englander is to do the right thing and use your wits. I listen to the teachers and finish my work

because it helps me and others to learn.

Be a good Pt Englander! Be helpful, Be kind and do the right thing.

Damien My Holiday Highlight Term 4

I am standing trying to steal the money. Then I ran away with the money and went to the shops to buy some hot chips. In the holidays I went to my cousins to play games while my mum helped my Aunty get ready for an party.

I got to Play gta 5 with my cousin. I had to jump in the car, drive around and do missions. The mission was to kill people and drown them into the bucket of water. When I completed the mission you get to do anything ouse.

While we were playing my Mum was helping my aunty to organise party packs. The party packs have party poppers, balloons, lollies, chocolate, drinks and cakes in them. There were heaps of people coming so they had to make heaps of party packs.

When it finished we all went home.

Creative Spring Writing

Today in class we have been doing creative writing. We had to write a sentence about this picture. As a class we chose the sentence we liked to best and then added to it. Here is my sentence and the sentence I added to.

The oak trees finger stretch trying to touch  the sky.

Under the oak tree, kicked back by the beach from a view, chill going down your spine, the bright sun light on you. The light from the sea shines in my eyes. Fish and chips for dinner. Yum!

The first part is use my brain. Use my brain means I have to listen to myself when my head tells me what to do. If I’m about to play a  game and my brain says “is that the right thing?” I will listen to my brain and stop doing the wrong thing.

Use my heart means listen to how I feel. When I’m doing something bad I get into trouble.Use my brain, use my heart, I’m gonna be cybersmart.

Use my brain, use my heart, I'm going to be cybersmart explanation

Explaining My Event

We have been learning to write an explanation. I have written one about an event that I made up. Here it is.


Basketball hoop is an made up game. It was made up by Damien Puri  in Auckland in 2014. How you win is by stepping with the ball and dribbling the ball and shooting it in the goal.

You will need a basketball hoop and a basketball to play. They are going to play at the Point England School hall. The hall is a basketball sized court made from wood.

The team is made up of 10 players. There are 3 defence, 3 attack and 4 mids who defend and attack. The rules are no fouling that means you cannot slap the ball out of someone elses’ hands. If the ball goes out of the court then it is the other teams ball. The ref does an throw up to start the game and an player from each team smacks the ball towards their own team.
