If you want to travel to a special place in mind, anything is possible when you just put your mind to it.

Anything is possible, Having a special place is hard because of payment and other things. But I'd say that if you want to go to a special place with your family then you have to work hard to earn it just put your mind to it, anything is possible.

The special place I would like to go with my family is Niue and that would be in a couple of years since with have a big family. Niue is 26 celsius that's hot and it hardly rains there only sun.

You have my opinion of where I what special place I want to go and some ideas if you think that you can't go. Of course, you can go but you need to do one thing to make that happen. If you put your mind to it, anything is possible.

Immersion assembly

Fakalofa lahi atu Kia mutolu oti. It's term four ( urgh damn it ) The first day of school ( That means we have an immersion assembly ). Every teacher looked great in what they were wearing. They were dressed in a hula skirt, and even wearing a flower lei because It turned out to be Niuean language week ( ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL ). There was one video from a team and three performances from the others.

let's start from team one. There were four mean princesses which were Mrs. Lal, Mrs. Dwyer, Mrs. Squires, Miss Shirley, and Miss Cheti. The princess's received a letter from the palace saying the prince is trying to find a new  princess so the princesses got dressed and headed to the palace, but there was one person who really wanted to go but had to clean the house she really wished she could go but the princesses didn't let her bragging they were good dancing so they could have to prince all to themselves, until The fairy godmother saved the day by turning them into frogs and learning their lesson to never be unkind.

Team 2 this term is about dancing. So Ms. Moran, Ms. Teleso, Ms. Gaston and Mrs. Carter played a song while they acted to it and danced too.

Team 3s performance was short and sweet and everybody likes that. So what they did was make a video exactly what prefects would do korero's it was like that but there was some korero's throughout the year and some this term they sang a song, that the students who used to come to Pt England school made that song so one person who used to come to Pt England school was in the video clip and teachers that are still at Pt England school was in it too.

Team 4s performance was probably going to do something about drama and acting they were actin got the production that the seniors and some juniors performed last term ( term 3 ).

And lastly, team 5 performed a dance with remix music it had the waka song and others too the teachers that performed were Whaea Kelly, Mrs. Stone, Miss Tapuke, Mrs. Moala and Mrs. Ilaoa. their performance was so good I think this term would be the best out of all.

I hope you took your time into reading how our immersion assembly went. It was a blast so hot and sometimes cold.

Is candy better than Chocolate??

No no no most of you may think that candy is WAY better than chocolate but from my point of view chocolate is way better than candy ( am I right or am I right ). Chocolate can solve your problems in anyway isn't that amazing. When you are feeling down or a little bit angry just eat or let it dissolve in your mouth. Most of you may think chocolate is yuck or you just like candy better than chocolate but just read until the and let's see If I change your mind.

Why I dislike candy ( not hate but dislike ). Candy can be sticky at times and get stuck into your teeth and you can't seem to get it out ( am I right or am I right ).  Chocolate is more enjoyable than candy how it just melts in your mouth without you having to bite it. It's easier to eat chocolate than candy anyways, because you have to keep chewing and chewing then you swallow it isn't it a bit longer than chocolate.

About to blow your mind. Do you know where chocolate was made?? Do you know how chocolate was made? Do you even know when chocolate first came in NZ?? well I will be answering those questions. In 1884 Richard Hudson came into Dunedin and opened up a biscuit bakehouse, he followed the first chocolate and cocoa manufacturing plant in New Zealand which eventually became Cadbury.

I hope I changed most of your minds to love chocolate or like I hope you understand why I like chocolate now. What's your pacific chocolate that you like to eat?? Because I know I like all sorts. 

Cross country! ( I wasn't excited at all ).

WALT - write an explanation about cross country.

When there's a day you don't want to participate in like an exam, a test or even a day you will be running two long laps in like cross country,  comes ( Most people wag school just to not participate ). Do you know what cross country is? It is a day your whole school participates in a running course.

So what Pt England school does, is that the students come to school in their school uniform ( they don't start their starting with a run ). So you just have to start your morning normally, and your morning tea. Next then after morning tea, you have a normal middle block and at approximately 12:15 you get ready for your run. After your short lunch break, your line up in your home class line and walk to the courts and line in your year level and your gender whether your a girl or a boy
( Yeah Yeah yeah I know you got it ).

Then the principal or whoever is a teacher calls your year groups then says ready set go and then you set off. But our school doesn't say ready set go we use these two blocks and clap them together and makes a loud bang and then we either start to sprint or jog.

These are my opinions for you to try Pt England's way of cross country
 ( If you ever have one each year ). So take my advice ask any teacher of yours or even the principal if you could try our way of Cross country.

TASK DESCRIPTION - Our focus for this week is writing an explanation writing about cross country.

True friend vs fake friend

WALT - Use different topics to write an explanation piece of writing.

kind, generous, loving, helpful, loyal, would you want friends like these in your life??. Did you ever have friends like these during kindy, primary, intermediate and going through college?? Well, I will be explaining throughout the following paragraphs.

Firstly, friends that backstab other friends, is not a true friend, I wonder if they've actually had a true friend, a friend that treats them kindly. But the thing is, have they treated their friends the same as their friends treated them.

Secondly, I would like to say, are you a true friend??? A true friend that is honest and never lies ( Well in a serious way ). Are you someone who is always there when their friends need them the most?? Fake friends are there for you in your brightest moments but disappear during your hardest times.

Last but not least you can count how many friends you have but can you count on them, can you trust them with all your heart, sometimes you tell your friends your secret but they tell everyone else ( and that's definitely not a true friend ). A true friend is when they stick up for you when things are going wrong in your life. True friends are someone who keeps their promises and makes you want to keep yours, too.

There are my simple tips on how to be a good friend. Who is a true friend or a fake friend? It's up to you to figure out who is a true friend or a fake friend. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog.

Are games educational???

WALT -  Use our created templates and checklists to write a persuasive piece of writing.  

Do you think games are educational??? Because from my point of view 
They're not educational at all. They just teach them things that are not apart of education like ( go get him, oh I lost, and mostly play with their friends on games ) it's mostly the boys that waste there sleep time. Would you want to stay up all night and waste your 8 hour sleep?? Or would you take that 8 hour sleep?

That's for sure the games that people play are not ( Exactly ) educational but some do learn to play ( but not to learn ). That's why they go to school so when they get home they have homework to do, not just for those people who just go straight on games, that doesn't really help them much.

Did you know whoever still doesn't know the simplest equations or questions means that they didn't take all the opportunities they had??, they didn't learn as much as other students did, that's a sign that they didn't listen to their teachers? Do you get where I'm going with this educational thing???

Where I'm going with this is that GAMES ARE NOT EDUCATIONAL 
( Do you understand? ) Not at all, they don't teach you anything but play games. The only times I think you should be playing games is when you've finished everything like for an example finishing off your homework, do your chores and then start doing whatever you like.

These are my opinions about, " Are games educational " well thinking of which is not . Take my advice and you will get every simplest equations or question about learning. Take all the opportunities before it's too late.

TASK DESCRIPTION - Our focus for this week is learning how to choose a topic from the presentation and making a narrative about disagreeing about the topic or agreeing.

Should children be ban from using social media???

WALT - Use our created templates and checklists to write a persuasive piece of writing.  

Should kids under the age of 13 yrs old be ban from using social media??? By the time they're 12, 50% of kids use at least one social media platform. To sign up, many kids lie about their age. That's because popular sites like Instagram, Facebook, Snap chat, and Tiktok all set their age limit at 13, in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act

I agree that students and kids should be ban from social media because they might get heartbroken, and how would you know if they were the same age as you or an adult ( You don't ). You haven't even met them in real life.

To be honest, do Parents even know what their child is doing ( I don't think so ) Their parents are probably thinking oh my son/daughter are doing some homework so I will try not to bother them ( but seriously, they're being dodgy as every other kid is ).

These are the reasons why you don't need to have social media under the age of 13 yrs, ( do you want to know why, do you ) because they got other things to do, like focus on their education ( that is why ). 

It's your choice whether you think whether YOU should have social media

TASK DESCRIPTION - My focus from this week is picking one topic from room 3s writing site.

Should we wear school uniform or mufti???

WALT - Use our created templates and checklists to write a persuasive piece of writing.  

Should we wear school uniform or not?? It's a hard choice to make whether you want to wear school uniform or not. Some ( or I could at least say most ) of you are comfortable wearing school uniform or wearing normal mufti clothes to school. All I can say is that I agree on wearing school uniform.

Wearing school uniform is an honour to prove that you would wear it with pride to show that you would represent your school, but the same goes as wearing mufti, whether your in school or out of school it looks as if people don't know what school you go to.

Why I think Wearing A school uniform teaches students to dress smartly and take pride in their looks. ... Possibly most importantly, a uniform means students don't have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn't so important.

Why we should wear mufti clothes to school is because Aside from allowing students and staff to wear mufti for the day, this tradition aims to bring classes to compete with each other by following a set dress code theme for the day.

Do you agree or disagree?? on wearing school uniform or mufti?
From my point of view, I think students should be able to represent their school. I want to know what you think about whether we should school uniform or mufti.

TASK DESCRIPTION - Our topic for this week is should we wear school uniform to school of mufti

Tips on persuasive writing.

WALT - Understand what is needed for Persuasive Writing

 
TASK DESCRIPTION - In week 1 & 2 we are making our own template to use for our persuasive writing.

Blah Blah and more boring things on the first day of school!

WALT - Understand what is needed for Persuasive Writing 

As most of you all know how it goes, when a Term ends and another Term starts ( for Pt England school ) we continuously begin with an immersion assembly. An immersion assembly means that the management team ( The staff ) prefers a theme for Pt England school and so we use it during the term. Our theme for term 3 is Something in the water - He mea I roto I te wai.

On the 22nd of July, we had an immersion assembly, walking through the breeze I could smell something delicious but when I sat down. The plate was coming towards me It smelt nice but I had no appetite to eat then we had video clips of performances to what we are learning this term
From team 1 to team 5 we either have a performance to show or have a video clip. Each team has a different thing they are learning about but has the same theme which is something’s in the water. It always goes in order of what the teams are learning about.

From what I could see and understand from watching team one’s video clip, there’s this team called S.O.F.A which stands for solutions for animals ( The O is just for fun ). They help animals. Like the last semester ( Term ) how they helped the bees. Instead of the bees dying, team 1 was trying to make them survive. So they are learning about saving animals.

Team 2 had a video clip That showed teachers walking alongside the lake in Tahuna Torea reserve they walked along the beach and saw a couple a sea fish they talked about what kind of fish it is, and what it does.

Team three's video clip was kind of interesting because there was only one character ( Romona ) and a few fishes talking. Romona was talking to the fishes asking them would they be the perfect sea animal to look after the sea and the animals in it.

I was gonna fall asleep by the time I was watching team 4s video It was boring at first but once I kept my big eyes on the screen I was really interested in it. They stood on this rock at Pt England beach and saw some fish swimming in the sea. talked about how many incredible things it can do Is it big, small.

and lastly, Team five ( That kept me swaying side to side ) had performed on stage, representing the 5 things that are in a cell, which are called Cell ( Obviously ) Nucleus, Chromosome, DNA, and Gene. They even sang a song that included all fives things.


On the 22nd of July, we had an immersion assembly, walking through the breeze I could smell something delicious but when I sat down. The plate was coming towards me It smelt nice but I had no appetite to eat then we had video clips of performances to what we are learning this term

The best holiday of going over seas ( Just kidding, I wish though )

WALT - a persuasive writing about my holiday. 

 On the last of school in term 2, I knew that it was going to be another holiday of doing nothing, just simply chores, reading, blogging and maths as usual, like a regular kid would do.

 So I'll demonstrate everything I did in the first week, so my siblings and I were planning on going to the Auckland libraries near the G.I. Shops to join the holiday program making creative things that started at 10:00, and finished at 11:00. So on a Monday, we had to get up early like about I'd say 7:00 ( I guess your thinking that's not early, like 5 o clock but it's really early for us.

 Next, we had to clean before we could go so My older sisters and I had our chores to do. After we had finished our chores we went shower ate breakfast and got changed. Then we left. We were mostly late for often all of those activities. But we often didn't care. I issued some books for my little sisters and me, but I hardly read them ( Meaning as I didn't read a single book during the 2 weeks of holiday.

 Well, you get the idea of what I had done in the first week well I repeated what I did in the first week and in the second week. Well I didn't enjoy my holiday but it was worth having to sit around and do some chores when I am bored.

TASK DESCRIPTION - Our focus is writing about our school holidays

Did you know the history of chewing gum??? Well what I know about the history about chewing gum is that the first person to create gum was  John B. Curtis developed and sold the first commercial chewing gum called The State of Maine Pure Spruce Gum.

Peter Pan and the last Living tree

WALT -  Use a set sentence structure to create an interesting Narrative 

Once upon a time, there lived a magical boy named Peter pan living upon a mysterious magical portal where nobody but peter pan knew what to do or say to make the portal open. Then one moment an evil witch who had a mole on the tip of her nose came and took peter pan's magic powers away but there was only one thing he could do, was to get it back before sunrise, If not then his enchanting powers would be gone and the stinking witch would vanish into the spirit world and never return until the next eclipse. 

It was 10 hours until sunrise and peter pan didn't have that much time to get his magical powers. Peter pan had only one friend to rely on, was the last living tree. Peter pan called him Lant. so, Lant, the last living tree had a magic of his own but cannot give it to anyone else, so Peter and Lant made a brilliant plan but didn't know for sure If it was going to work so they tried multiple times but still didn't feel like it was going to work so they made a plan A and a plan B. The both of them set off the critical place, a place people have experienced but have never come out of there. Peter and Lant packed all of their trunks they needed and set off to Skeleton Island, where Zombies and all kinds of deadly things guarding the evil witch ( their queen ). They have finally arrived at skeleton Island and could see some people in the distance. 


YAY!! it's my old friends Lant this is Posie, Jaya, Betty, Metro, Zoe, Mobley, Jayla, Marzuli, and Claire. " Hello everybody nice to meet you," Lant said. Come on everybody we don't have much time to get my magic powers back. " Next stop we go to Skeleton Island," said Peter Pan. They have finally arrived at Skeleton island. The only person that is scared is Jayla, she's so afraid that she is at the end of the boat shaking her legs then Marzuli asks Jayla " Why'd you come if you're afraid? "  
" Because I would have had no one to play with ? " whined Jayla. They all crept at the back of a huge rock seeking to see how much Goblins are guarding the hideous looking castle. " Marzuli, Jayla crept on them and kill the heck out of those wicked things," said Peter. The brother and sister crept up and killed those wicked goblins. There was a time how an old man had the same problem as Peter Pan. But the man’s problem was not as bad as Peter pans, his problem was worse than anyone who has had the same problem combined. They all split up and went their separate ways The others followed Lant because he was the only living nature that had powers. Peter, Jayla, and Marzuli all made it up to the long-lasting stairs. 



until they saw two goblins guarding the queen, the evil witch having a plastic looking crown with dinosaur stickers on it thinking she's a queen but really she isn't. The evil witch holding a sharp plastic stick in her hand waving it in Peter's face saying " you stay back you ." " ohh like this or like this. " replies Peter. " just stand there " " right here, right here " " just stand still and don't move!!! " Shouts the witch. Peter sees a light on the corner of his eye grabs it and tries to run away but nope, you know how fast witches are???  yeah well, that evil old witch rode on her broom as fast as her 100 hundred yr old broom could go, grabbed the necklace laughed away and out the window. But the witch did not know that Peter drank his magical powers and he ran as fast as his little legs could go. It was finally sunrise and Peter Pan had got his magical powers back. Peter saw the witch in the sky vanish into thin air and that meant she wouldn't disappear forever she would come back in the next Eclipse..
