WILL.IAM

Last Thursday a really special and famous person arrived in Auckland before the day he had his concert presented by The Hallenstein Brothers his name was WILL.IAM. I really couldn’t believe that he came to our school as a member of the Black eyed Peas & a solo artist as well.
   He presented a cheque to us and the other schools in the Manaiakalani $100.000.00 as a gift to all the schools to help us with our learning our netbooks. It was a really big Koha (Gift) & we got told that he traveled around the world to look for a school with good learning & out of all the schools in the world he picked us.

He shared a bit of information of his early childhood life about how hard his life was living back then. I was really Inspired by his story, how his only wish in the world was to take care of his mum & start a fresh new life with his mum. I loved his story it really Inspired me with how he became an artist. At the back all you could see was just cameras kind of like a paparazzi .

Where I'm at in my Maths !

There are 2 maths program that we do in class one program that we work on is Xtramath, it is a Basic Facts, I started last Friday & made it to 2 seconds on addition but my teacher hasn't reset me yet so yeah. For the final program our class uses is Maths Whizz its like more than just Basic Facts its more complicated & it knows what Maths age your'e at. Its has hard question like decimals question's.

My Reading Reflection

“This book is about a Birdboy. And people of the Planet of Agenta are slowly dying. His name is Anquin he must look after the his eggs. Keep tuned to my blog for more of this amazing story”.

! What my friends say about ME!!

On the last day of Term 1 we played a game. Ms Tito gave us a piece of paper with a strip of tape,  and she stuck it on our backs.Everybody got a piece of paper with a strip of tape and stuck it on our backs. Everybody got a piece. We had to write something positive about someone or they had to write something positive about.
    One of things that someone said about me was that they said I look like a Unicorn, I have a feeling that Andrea wrote that -_- I seriously want to but I dont have a horn looking thing on the top of my head. I didn't really understand why someone would write that but, I kinda do wish I looked like a Unicorn.
   Another Thing someone said about me was that They liked my hair. I love my hair too:D.

Fiafia 2013

For the past 4 weeks or so, my school has been rehearsing for our 60th anniversary of our school. I am in the Niuean group tutored by Miss Lagitupu & Mrs Lavakula. Our practices are after lunch time on Thursdays & Friday's for it's about 40-45 minuets of learning 3 of our Items.

   On the very first day we just sat in Room 21 I didn't know the song that we are singing especially the verse in the song its really really fast. I starting to get the hang of the song its really getting easy now, even the verse that use to be very hard but now, I really enjoy the fact that Fiafia nights in 7 more days until the Special night!!!!
    Just yesterday we were making our Rafia (skirts) & had a bit of a small rehearsal.

2013 Highlights so far.

My highlight of this year was finding out that everyday after Morning Tea except for Mondays because we have Maori with Ms Tito(Our class tutor).  One of my favourite games has to be Capture the Flag because I've only Captured it once, & that time nobody saw me & it was actually Capture the Bat. The last time we played that game was about 3 weeks ago & I haven't been enjoying P.E so far , but I'm so lucky to even have P.E after Morning Tea.
  Ms Tito is got to be my Favourite teacher because she really acknowledge's her culture alot especially her Pounamu(Greenstone). And because she's really cool, like one time when we played a game called Throw the Chicken I threw it all the way into the tree close to our gate & it got stuck but Mary climbed up the tree & quickly reached & grasped the chicken & we still lost.
    Another Highlight for this year was getting to compete in the Auckland Champs for the Year 7 boys Softball team, we came 6th in Auckland out of 8 teams in the competition. I was play at Base 1 & out of the whole competition I had gotten 4 outs. Mr Somerville was another teacher I liked & he was our Coach.
