School Prize Giving

 On Monday the 5th of December my school had a prize giving. It was really long but it was good seeing other students getting prizes. I got a certificate for being a great prefect in 2021 ( Sorry I don't have a picture of my award ). 

All of these students won at least one to three awards.

These are the new prefects for 2022.

These are the winners who won the junior, senior and the intermediate award.

Thank you so much for reading my blog post. Please leave a comment down below.

The Day I Came Back To School

On Wednesday the 17th of November I arrived at school to the applause of my teacher and classmates. I felt so excited to be back at school.  Later that day my class and I had to move our desks to the multipurpose room. 

We are next door to another Year 7 and 8 class. I am happy to work with other class. After that I got to do my activities that I didn't complete during lock down. I feel tired doing all of this work.

What Is A Hangi

What is a Hangi?

A hangi is a feast cooked in an earth oven for several hours. People have used this method for over hundreds of years. The food used in a hangi is locally produced meat and vegetables such as pork, chicken, lamb, beef, pumpkin, kumara, potato, fish and eels. 

The food is prepared, peeled, cut and wrapped in either flax leaves or cabbage. It is then placed in baskets before being lowered into a hangi pit.

I am sharing my Hangi research that learned about from this week.

I am sharing this because I want to share my learning with everyone.

What if you were your dad/parents but in there childhood ?

 If I were my dad but in there childhood it would not be fun.

If I were my dad it would be very hard because my dad was born in Samoa and he did a lot of work he had to cook dinner, feed the animals, sell coco, and get a job.   

               

If I were my dad but in there childhood it would not be fun. 

       

Samoan Language Week

 For Samoan language week all the Samoan year 7 and 8's had to share an item with a class. Every day we had to go to a different class and share the same item I hope you enjoy my item.

                        

What If

                                            

Today's writing session was a fun and silly one. Writing can be fun and silly, but things that shouldn't be silly in our writing includes accurate spelling, punctuation and grammar - thanks for lesson and reminder, Mr Goodwin! 

Over the next few days, Room 7 will also be writing their own "What if" experiences. Please keep an eye out for their pieces of writing - enjoy!             

What if you were a teacher ?

For our cyber smart we are making a lot of what ifs and for today we did what if you were a teacher.

 If I were a teacher for a day, it would be really fun .

My classroom would be year 1 and 2, they would be very loud and they would be very creative. 

I would ask them to draw whatever they like and wic ever one is the best they would get a gold star. If we went on a field trip it would be too Sea Life (Kelly Tarltons).

If I were a teacher for a day, it would be really fun .

My Grandad's hands

This week's writing task was a free-verse poem about "my grandad's hands". We practiced using semi-colons, a range of sentence lengths and using vocabulary. Our poems are based on an original poem written by Gary O'connell. I chose to write about my grandad because he was someone very special to me.

 

My Grandad's hands by Willie 

My grandad's hand's

are wrinkly boulders;

his back, sturdy ladder;

his legs, slow branches.

his laugh is a tigers roar;

his voice, tiger's growl

Sleeping

quiet waiting for the bus

My grandad

Is watching over us.

Once Upon A Picture

 

Our Trip To Star Dome

It was my classes first time going to Star Dome and we had fun. Some of the parents came to help us on our trip. There was a park that we could play on and we had an amazing time that we laughed.

While we were waiting to go inside we went for a long walk up a mountain. It was very muddy and some of us got our pants dirty. It was a wonderful view

We finally got inside and there was this man named John who taught us about the solar system and day and night. We got to watch a short movie about space. It was called Solar System Odyssey.

My Monster

This is my monster that I created for my writing.
