GO FOR GOLD !

In Term 3 we are learning about the Olympics.

The last Olympics were held in Beijing China which was in 2008.  At least one colour from the olympic rings are known to appear in each country's flag. The five interlocking rings represent the five out of seven continents; Both North and South America, Africa, Oceania, Europe and Asia.  

Term 3 has kicked off to a great start. Immersion Assembly was put together by Mr Jacobsen and the teachers. Team 1 through to team 5 had the opportunity to show us what they thought the olympics were all about. There were movies presentations and also Items.

The item I best liked was hosted by a team . I really liked team 5’s item because it was really funny and really educating. The reason I liked team 5’s item was because they didn’t just include really important bits, they put in funny bits On the other hand I also liked team 1’s movie because, they got to get up close and personal with real athletes that had also competed in the olympics.

I would like to give a big THANKS! to all the teachers that put together all the movies, they really inspired me to learn more about the olympics.

Thank you Ramona for proof reading my work

Writing For This Term

Well this term is coming to a close. Mr Barks has told us to come up with our best piece of writing we can possibly think of.

My goals for next term are to focus on the teacher. I really want to learn more than what I have learnt this term.  I am looking towards posting at least 1-2 blog posts a week, I have learnt from this terms blog posts that I am not posting more to my blog.

To be honest I think this term was a lot of fun and I hope next term can be the same


Thanks To Chelsea for reading my work

My Favorite Place

Our task is to go out with a camera and take a picture of our favourite place. Once we've taken our photos we can only select one !. As soon as we have selected the snapshot we are going to use we have to explain why we chose that particular picture and why it stood out from the rest.

My favourite place is the local beach ‘Pt England’. I’ve been to Pt England beach several times. I really like going to Pt England beach because I enjoy fishing there. I’ve remembered all the times we’ve been there mostly positive. Even though Pt England is a cool beach I really like going to Wenderholm.

I picked this picture because I liked that I like to watch the beautiful white shimmery glow in the water. It stood out from the other pictures because I liked how the sand is kind of wavy and bumpy. You see the picture at the top thats what Pt England looks like it awesome.

I also like the view of the beach it’s PRICELESS. Thanks to Chelsea who helped edit my work for me.

Online Novel Study : The Angel Experiment

In Literacy, my group -the Einsteins have been reading an action book called “The Angel Experiment.” This book has Six main Characters, all having a variety of special powers.  I have found this book to be very enjoyable and I think that if you were to reach for this novel, you too would be hooked.

Even though I was hooked from the start, I found chapter 8 very exciting. The first 2 paragraphs really grabbed my attention and from then on, I found it difficult to log off. Flying kids, kidnapped Angels, vicious attacking Erasers...all in one chapter.  Like I said, it truly was exciting!

All though it was a depressing time for them it was very pleasing for me because I really liked the awesome vocabulary the author used to bring out the emotions like , as if you were really in the story.

I really like reading an online Novel because you don’t have to worry about anyone, taking or losing your book. I am looking forward to reading the next part of this story.

FRIENDS

My friends Cael , Ngametua and David are really cool. I first meet David in room 10 which is the very first day I started Pt England School , I really liked David because he always knew what to talk about and he knew when to make you laugh whether you were sad or happy. I meet Cael just last year. I became her friend because she was just like David but she was a girl and I meet Ngametua last year.

Truck show

Owens participated in the annual truck show down in Taupo. My Dad works for Owens so he got to participate in this event. There were all kinds of trucks from around New Zealand ,Scania’s, Mack’s , Super Liners and heaps more I just can’t remember.

It was time for the Prize Giving. Owens got two Trophies , one for best fleet and the other for best Scania. The truck that got best Scania was my dads friend Loyld because everyone liked the mural that was on the roof it was Bruce Lee I mean who doesn’t like Bruce Lee.

I had a really good time in Taupo and thank you God for the weather that we had it was really really sunny((:

Rugby

I like to play Rugby.

Last term I was selected to play for Pt England in the Rugby 7’s tournament. We played 5 games and we lost two but we still made it into the finals. We vs Royal Oak intermediate. We were hoping to dominate the competition but luck wasn’t on our side. Lifting our heads up high we went home a happy team even though we didn’t come back with the victory of beating Royal Oak but we still had fun.
