Me and Miss G Trying something new

This morning me and Miss G tried out a new online resource called brainshark.

At the moment we are unable to podcast on our netbooks, but this resource just might help us. We had a few issues with the microphone so we had to record the audio on Miss G's laptop, but I'm sure that this can be sorted for the future.

Trip with Howick Under 15's Netball

In the Holidays I went to New Plymouth with my family. We set off for a 5 hour trip following the under 15’s team down. While my mum was talking I played my PSP and my sister was read her book.

We first stopped at Otorohanga and went to Subway. We left Otorohanga and got back on the road to New Plymouth. We were almost there but then we turned the corner and saw a big erosion. I put my window down and saw all these rocks that had fallen from the side cliffs.

We finaly got to New Plymouth. I looked out my window and saw the wonderful Mount Egmont. I sad to my mum can we go there and she ignored me. We went to Flamingo Motel.
That was were my family was staying.

We went to Mount Egmont and the Zoo it was fun at the mountain because we through snow at each other. I also made a snow angel with the snow on side of the bench. Then I thought “Well thats probely why my mum ignored me”.

Mr Burt Speach

This morning we had an a Assembly in the Street. Mr Burt, Our principal came to talk to team 5 about gum and when Mr Burt went overseas.

When Mr Burt went overseas he went to this school that needed repairs and had a metal door, metal detectors and a guard standing at the front door Just to get into the building. When I heard that I was shocked and was also really surprised.

He was also saying that we are very lucky because we have lots of opportunities and very good education. It is really cool when Mr Burt comes to our Assembly's because he always has a cool story.

Term 2 Roller coaster

Term 2 has been a very successful term, with many things including Net books, Tamaki tech, I am making movies 2, swimming, taoga time and sport. This term is based on Bigger, Better, Stronger and Faster.

This term there has been heaps of different things. So far my best thing was soccer because our years 7 and 8 soccer team traveled to Sacred Heart College and came 2ND in our pool and 3rd overall. it was a fun experience and also tyring.

Every day I learn something new on my net book. Our net books have been really helpful and successful to our learning criteria. It is also fun because you can download heaps of games and also use it like it is a book.

Tamaki Tech has been a roller coaster experience for most student here. I am in Electronics with Mr Maholtra. At the moment our group is making a simple circuit that has a light, siren and a switch to turn it on. Using a sodaring machine is like working as an electronic fixer.

Term 2 has been a really fun, exciting and wonderful term. I hope Term 3 will be like this term.

Electronics at Tamaki Tech

This morning team 5 walked down to Tamaki College to do tech. Every Monday we go down to tech from school at eight thirty and our session is from 9 to 11. I am in Electronics with Mr Malhotra.

Today our session was not prepared because our teacher thought that we were finished so then we just talked and made posters. We were just talking and making posters about danger around electricity.

The boys were just talking about Tyler's game in the weekend. It was cool that we got to talk. Next week our teacher will be prepared and ready for our session. It was a cool session today and fun.

Next week is our last week and we are going to science. I enjoyed Electronics this term.

I AM MAKING MOVIES 2

On Sunday Some of our students went to the Auckland Museum To go to the Movie awards for 2011. We went in a bus to the Museum and saw heaps of other people and students as we departed the bus and went into the museum. When we got in to the museum it was crowded and the lift was getting really full so we pushed in the line and we went to the top level in no time.

It was fun because we got to see Charlie (which was from What Now) and Robin which plays Sheryl West on Outrageous Fortune. There were also heaps of famous people. Also there was our Kapa Haka Senior Group

Pt England sent in seven movies but unfortunately only Three of our movies that made it was Our History Our Heritage, Men of courage and Remember My Roots by Rooms 21 and 13. Unfortunately Men Of Courage did not win but we also got special mentions and we made the nominees. Remember Our Roots movie made it in to the final and Room 21s Our History Our Heritage got Supreme Movie overall and also won there nominees movies.


My favorite part of the night was the Choir Because they made everyone on the top floor clap, smile and laugh.
