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.

Argumentive writing

Is Benji Marshall the world best player ? Well I think that Benji is a good role model, I think Darren Lockyer is more experienced than Benji. Lockyer has played more test matches than Benji Marshell. Marshell and Lockyer are both smart players and really good play makers. Benji is hotter than Darren but Darren's voice is cool. Darren locker is sensible and has not had any bad report for drunken behaviour or assault charges or disorderly behavior

The Wonderful Invention Televisons

Televisions are really expensive these days. Televisions are good for showing advertisements and news around the whole world. It is good to know whats happening around the world too. Televisions are huge. They are big, they are small and they can come in many sizes. There are T.Vs that are 152 inches and the smallest that can be as small as a lap top screen.

Televisions are really cool. There are more than 500 channels on Sky and around 30 on freeview or if you have a standard televison they can only pick up around 10 channels. My favourite channel is 70 (Discovery Channel) and my least favorite channel is 76 (Travel Channel).

There are heaps of diffrent televisons like Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Life’s Good (LG), LCD, Sanyo and Tohsiba.

Assembly

Today in our school assembly we had to line up differently as a class. Room 21 has to sit in boy, girl, boy, girl lines now because we are at the bottom of the score board and it is to stop boys chatting and girls gossiping during assembly. I think that it is good that we sit like that because we can earn heaps of points by sitting up and not talking.

This morning I thought that we had earned heaps of points because we got a bin it award which is worth 50 points. We also got heaps of stickers worth 10 points. It was really good that we won the bin it because we were at the bottom. I’m glad.

In Assembly Mr Burt has a saying every week, Todays one was bin it. Mr Burts saying was bin it because the whole school has been walking around the school picking up the trash that has been dropped on the ground from students.

I think that was a good saying and there are lucky points to .
