Aspire, Inspire and Motivation!

This morning we had the opportunity to hear a speech from Andrew Patterson and one of our past Pt England student, Raenan. They firstly talked to us intermediate students about our next step into secondary college and Raenan's experience of his 4 years of his college years.

Andrew Patterson firstly took us back to 2013, Where he first met Raenan as a Year 8. Raenan was at the stage of learning how to prepare things such as an interview, speech or being a good leader towards those who look up to him. Raenan set goals for himself, One of them were to be a head boy in college and luckily he was announced to be the deputy head boy for Tamaki College in 2018.

Raenan himself took us back to his first year attending Tamaki, as he had many opportunities for him to go for. He talked to us about him joining the "Geek Cafe" and how he was taught how to help people to use technology, especially elderly people. For me, That was pretty interesting to hear and amazing to think that elderly were/are interested in our technology.

Before ending off their interview/speech, they presented us a video of a student who attends Manurewa High school. A year 12 who was speaking his experience of having a dad as mongrel mob member, his dad was sent to jail for up to 8 years. Leaving him at a young age (7) and only coming back halfway through his year of High school (15). I found it interesting to hear and inspiring on how he was able to get through all  his troubles at home, he kept focusing on the good things and improved while he was at it.

One of the things that I mainly picked up was to keep striving even though you're at your worse, to never give up and keep working hard for those who you love. They all inspired me to keep going for new things and improve on them throughout your years of college, It was a lovely speech and I was definitely inspired.

Time for decimals.

WALT: Use different strategies to solve addition and subtraction word problems AND decimal addition and subtraction.


This week we've been learning about addition and subtraction with decimals, I learnt a range of strategies to solve this. Look in the presentation above to see what I've been learning about.

Tongan rugby league team! - My letter.

Today, I'll be writing a letter to the Tongan rugby league team!

To whom it may concern, 

I am writing this letter to you firstly to congratulate you guys for making it this far! Judging by the score I could tell it was a tough game, You guys did well to keep with England. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the game due to chaos before and after the game but I did show my support and appreciation
right at my house! It was really heart-breaking and disappointing to hear that Tonga lost, Especially when the referee didn't call the try.   

Obviously like many others around this world, I do believe Andrew Fifita deserved that try. It was a clear 1 on 1 strip, Fifita scooped the ball back up and successfully crossed that try line. It was an amazing act as to the Tongan team only scored 4 tries in under 7 minutes but clearly we don't support of what Matt Cechin (referee) did.

Us supporters believe that we won in our hearts, No matter what we're still proud of how you guys went. Especially being able to make history! 

RLWC - My perspective and opinion.

WALT: I am able to identify the ideas opinions of author and share my own comparison.

The semifinals for Rugby league world cup between Tonga and England, My perspective of things in these articles. I read up to three articles and had to agree or disagree with some of the statements I had read, look in the presentation above to see what I thought.

How music around us affect our emotions.

WALT: Music, Emotion and colors.


During this term one of our learning intentions were to focus on which music affects how you feel, We choose up to 6 emotions and had to match our feelings to that song. Look at the presentation above to see how I feel about some of the songs that I may love or not.

Child tooth decay - New Zealand.

WALT: I am able to distinguish between fact and opinion by identifying relevant language features the author has subtly used.
 
 This week we've been learning about Tooth decay, around New Zealand the numbers have raised and hospitals have now struggle with keeping up with dental care. Here is a presentation above to see what I've been working towards.

Addition and Subtraction Word Problems.

WALT: Use different strategies to solve addition and subtraction word problems.


Addition and subtraction word problems, this week I've been learning about partitioning, reversibility, rounding and compensation. Look in the presentation above to see how I worked out these problems.

Word Problems - Week 5.

WALT: Use 2 different strategies to solve word problems.


During this week we've also been learning about Word problems, a few in our class tend to get confused as they're focusing on the words more than the problem. Today we have a few word problems today, take a look in the presentation above to see what I've been working on.

Maths Problems - Week 5

WALT: Solve maths problems.


During class today, I've learnt how to solve math problem. From options like addition, subtraction, division, times tables all into bed-mas. To see what I've learnt and gained so far, check the presentation above.

Athletics Day - How to achieve your personal best in Athletics!

Your personal best, events like Cross country, Tests or maybe even getting up earlier than you did the day before. But today, Athletics is one main event that us Pt. Englander's achieved in our personal best!

In Athletics there are activities like Javelin, Shot put, Sprints, High Jump, Discus and etc. There are a lot of variety of events you could choose to do your best in, and you could possibly do outstanding in all but personally it's best to train for things you’re least good at it. Working your way up from least favorite events to the events you love the most. Not everything has to be perfect but you always need to try your best in events like these, to satisfy not only you but your family as well!

Another way to achieve your personal best is to always stay in track of your records, So you could obviously know what to work towards for the next event coming up. By keeping your records of the events you took place in, You could compare it to previous years and see if you improved or not. It's also good to keep in track of goals so you could accomplish that and your personal best, that’s a 2 in 1 winning goal. It’ll be easy to write down your record and underline all your goals/training's to see where you’re at.

Always stay calm whenever you’re in and out events, if you were to come last always end with a smile. It’s not always about the placing, it’s about how you did and felt. Not everyone will get what they want but if you simply train and focus on your goals you may have a better chance of coming 1st, 2nd or 3rd.

Well that’s my listing of how to achieve your personal best. Remember it doesn’t have to be Athletics or Cross country, It could simply be a test or grading. Never give up! Always continue on and strive to succeed.

Koko the ape: Can apes really understand American sign language?

WALT: Finding evidence in a text, Use the process of elimination to find the "best fit" answer.


During Week 1 - 2 our class has been learning towards comprehension work, finding evidence that supports our answer in the text. For an understanding of what we've been taught, We were given a task to read an article about Koko the ape. We were given questions to answer with sentences in the text. Check the presentation above to see what I've been working towards.

Test Practice - Week 3.

WALT: Practice before the real test.

Motivational Talk!

Our morning today, wasn’t that normal at all. In fact we had a inspirational talk with Mr Patterson, He talked to us as to why we aspire to inspire.

During his few things he talked to us about, I picked up some advice that I found more important to me. A few things such as the word Intrinsic, What makes you do good within yourself. I thought to myself as to what makes me do good or bad within me. Things related to being considerate towards other people. Not only thinking about yourself but people who are around you and those who need it more than you do.

Mr Patterson also taught us his formula,  A + I = M. Aspiration & Inspiration to create Motivation. Doing things you love and want to do, Those who inspire you to do it and eventually trying to achieve it in your bestest ability. He explained to us that their are two kind of people in this world, A taker or a giver. Luckily or hopefully most of us are givers.

Being able to give to others, for an example: An 11 year old who gave his lunch and lunch money to a homeless who was apparently crying for a broken marriage, being kicked out of his house and losing his job that he had for a few long years. Basically you could be any age to inspire anyone, even elders. A taker, person who takes but not give in return.  Thoughtless for other people who are unkind by not showing affection to things.

During this morning, I’ve picked up a lot of things. I learnt what I would think or do during situations. My future ahead of me also. Thanks to Mr Patterson I’ve now know what to look forward too but also keeping my head high and striving to succeed.

“If you love what you do, you’ll won’t have to work.”

Maths - Word Problems!

WALT: Find an appropriate strategy to solve each word problem.


We've started this term up with Word problems, We had to answer decimals and fractions. Here's my presentation above, Take a look with what I've learnt this week.

Labour Day!

Working 10 or more hours in shifts, Having no break at all was such a pain to workers back in the day. October 28th 1890 was the day New Zealand decided to have a public holiday (labour day), It’s one of the day’s our people could take a day off from working. Amazingly Aotearoa was one of many countries to start an 8 hour working rate.

Every 4th Monday of October, Workers get to celebrate the right of working less than 12 hours. Way back in the days, Such as 1890 people didn’t have the option to work less or more than 12 hours and sadly some even worked for up to 18 hours. Samuel Parnell, A man who refused to work 8 hours or more as a carpenter in a shop he worked in.

Samuel Parnell. One of the most important people in New Zealand, most likely known to be a legend for being able to speak up and working only up to 8 hours in carpentry. Always explaining his rights in court, as to why he didn’t work for his normal 10 hour working day and it could and would affect his pay wage. Throughout his years of working, he did not care about a single thing of what a person had to say. He kept his ways and continued on to work his 8 hours.

It was fair enough, New Zealand had the right of claiming the right to have an 8 hour working day, but they decided to support Mr Parnell’s idea of working a full 8 hour day. Wellington judge decided for everyone in New Zealand and possibly other countries to have the right of being able to work 8 hours.

Now you know why Labour day is now here today, maybe consider a day to celebrate it yourself as it is a special day to remember. What does Labour day mean to you? Well you now know the reason so why not celebrate!

Niuean Language - Cheeehoooo!

Justifying - I can discuss and justify my responses across texts and material I read and see.


Week 1, During our literacy time our group learnt about Niue! In the presentation above, I had to state my perspective/opinion on what I personally thought and then also state what I thought the author felt in a way. We learnt about the difficulties and struggles of not being able to grow up in the Niue cultural way but also finding out ways that we could actually keep our Niue language alive!

Reversibility - Maths Week 1.

WALT: Solve Multiplication and Division problems using Reversibility.


First week of school, Throughout the week we've been learning about Reversibility in Multiplication and Division. We had to times 6-12 times tables and then reverse the problem to division, for an example simply look at the presentation above.

Musical Madness! - Immersion Assembly.

Term 4 has arrived and our learning intention is now Musical Madness! As our usual start to the day for Pt England school we always host an immersion assembly, Explaining what each team is learning towards. Laughter was shown and everyone talking about what fun they’re going to have throughout the term. Well this is what I thought about it all!

Most Informative:

I reckon Team 5 had the most informative show. Throughout the whole item, they explained how they felt towards the movie that had either a song or tune to it. Weather it was scary, happy or sad they’d explain their thoughts to us audience. Showing us what Team 5 is learning towards Term 4

Most Entertaining:

The one show that caught my attention was Team 3! They were hilarious in their movie. It showed them having a conversation using songs they’d listen to on a normal day out, Not only they showed having a conversation but they also showed their emotions and feelings towards on what people had to say to them. It was as if they were actually talking to each other normally.

What do you want to find out more about this term?:

Throughout this term, I’d like to find out more about what song would affect me. Weather it would make my emotions change or will I still have the same feeling throughout the whole song, By the end of this term I would want to explain my feelings with the song I listened to and why it does.

Flounder catching at Pes!

Flounders, When that word comes to my mind I think of it as food. But not today, Pt England school is catching flounders not to eat but to farm for our own little flounder pack. In partnership with another school, Kauri Flats. As they only caught 4.

Today, The whole of Pt England school walked down to Riverside ave  to watch some of our students catch flounders. Of course, We had a limit to catch which was either 20 - 25 small baby flounders. We had up to 10 students participating down at the beach, Dragging nets and carrying big buckets to place the flounders in. As they were busy catching flounders, We were given a job to sing 3 of our school himene’s and end it with a karakia to basically show our support and Aroha.

We have just returned and according to one of our students who participated in the flounder fishing we’ve caught over 20 small baby flounders. They’re so tiny, Not even the size of my pinky yet. From my calculations I’ve got to say that they’re about 2 - 3 cm wide. Now from what I’m thinking it’ll take a lot of time for it to grow.

We look forward on seeing our baby flounder grow and hopefully some don’t pass out. Congratulations to those who did catch some, You were amazing!

Elections 2017 - Week 7&8

WALT: Reflecting - Understand how the ways in which leadership of groups is acquired and exercised have consequences for communities and societies.


Throughout the last few weeks of school, We've been learning about politics and the elections. We decided to create our own game with limited stuff with One ball, Two hoops and a skipping. Our class was divided into 3 groups. Read the presentation above and see what we come up with.

Manaiakalani Film Festival - Experience.

In term 4 one of our main events are coming up! An annual event we usually do once a year, From schools across Glen Innes area joining to share their experience of what they've done in term 3. Each school has the opportunity to entertain us about anything they think that's funny, educational or motivational. It could be literally anything!

Well at Pt England school, Room 4 students decided to take on a taste test, We had a variety of food that we had to eat and guess what it was. From my experience I wasn't very good at all! I was so scared about what was gonna go in my mouth, I even had the feeling that it was going to be insects. But we're lucky our teacher Mrs Judd is nothing like that, I think. Most of the food we tried was a HUGE surprise! Turns out it wasn't even what we thought. The food was literally unexpected! Horrible tastes left in my mouth and obviously we didn't know what to say, well we never do. It was hilarious at times where we all just said random things, It was like we were clueless with no thoughts at all. Well I better keep it on the low with what the food is, I'll just keep it as a surprise.

If you want to know how we did and what the food was, Keep in tune as our Manaiakalani Film is almost out!

Cross Country!!

WALT: Write a recount about the following event you had.

Tongan language week!

WALT: Review explanation writing: Identify the structural features of an explanation text.

Understanding negative numbers!

WALT: understand negative numbers.

Throughout week 5-6 we've been learning about Negative numbers and how they're different to positive numbers. We learnt how to subtract and add with negative and positive numbers, The number line of it and how this could be use in different things around our lives.

"I wonder" Animation.

WALT: Guardians of the galaxy! Rosalinas I wonder from SchoolTV on Vimeo.
 Throughout the first 5 weeks of the term we were given the task of making an animation of what your "I wonder" question is? watch my video as I'll tell you what I'm learning towards this term.

Negative Numbers!

WALT: Understand negative numbers.
 

Throughout week 5-6 we've been learning about negative and how to add/subtract these numbers, I've learnt the differences between positive numbers and negative. That positive numbers are above zero and the negative numbers are below zero.

Speech - Thoughts.

WALT: We are reviewing how to produce a quality blog post and comments.

Last Friday team 5 had three students from each class present a speech that they've been working on for the past four weeks. We called it "the finals" for saying speeches, It was an amazing experience while

watching other students around my age present their speech so confidently.

Most appealing to you? and Why?

From my perspective, Amelia Feleti's speech was the most appealing to me. Amelia's speech was about how her grandma passed away and she realized that her job wasn't the reason why she was happy, It was because her grandma was able to see Amelia and her siblings everyday. She used descriptive words which made it more interesting for me to listen, I personally think it was emotional for her to read but she had enough confidence to push through and continue on with her amazing speech. I definitely think she has a chance of winning the speech contest.

Which speech was the most entertaining? Most thought Provoking?

Mubashshir Shafil was the most entertaining from my point of view, He had funny points/reasons and also added a little of actions to spice it up. Mubashshir speech was about: If I were a president for a day, He'd do many things while becoming one as he is a president for just ONE day. Muba had plans, He would show his kindness around and make sure others get the same amount, People are treated the
same and not valued differently just because of the way they look. I reckon Mubashshir had a lot of reasons and it did give me thoughts of what I could of done.

If you were to give another speech in literacy what are 3 things you would work on improving?

If I were to give another speech I would work on my topic, reasons/points and projecting my voice louder. I thought my topic was good but not interesting enough for others to listen to, I needed to work on explaining my points more and add a little bit more  of descriptive words. I think I'll  need a bit more practice as I still find it hard to speak in a normal class of 20-30 kids.

Throughout this time it was a great experience to have, I found it interesting and entertaining as not one person didn't give up on saying their speech. From my thoughts I definitely think this would give them a perspective of what they would do with this talent in the future. Overall I thought it was amazing, Everyone was great!

Night light.

WALT: Analyzing - I am able to distinguish between fact and opinion by identifying relevant language features the author has subtly used.


Throughout last week our learning intention was to discover our knowledge of what we know about "Night light" meaning the moon and the different phases. I've learnt many things about these and surprisingly I've noticed that maybe I didn't know that much about the moon.

Reflection - Speech.

WALT: Reflect on our given speech.

Today we had to reflect on our given speech, We basically just had to go through of explaining our feelings and thoughts towards our speech we gave last week. I really thought I could do better next time in doing my speech.

Let's start old school again!

WALT - I will identify the different places speeches/talks are given and how they are designed for delivery

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the years of attending Pt England school the technology we use digitally has grown bigger and better since 2010. Pencils and Paper to Ipads, Phones, Computers and etc. Don’t you think we need to start doing old school again? I mean have you seen our hand writing lately, It's hideous!

My point is. Year 8 students have two terms to come before heading off to college and with the writing we all have, The college teachers are going to be gobsmacked with our work. In college, Handwriting will become a common thing and you’ll definitely need it for the subjects you choose. So better start practicing now cause time does go by fast.

Also, I personally think in the future things may change especially our electronics we use everyday. Sooner or later our handwriting will no longer be as common as it is now but why not keep the old trend going? Start it all up again, It just takes a small group of children to start writing by hand.

You never know one day the power all around the world may go out in a flash. The electronics we use wouldn’t be any help, now would it? Except for a piece of paper and pencil, Now when you’re in this situation you have to know how to write/draw! Especially for it to at least look decent for others to understand from what you're trying to say.

Now you see what the consequences are if you don’t have decent handwriting? Don’t be ashamed of what it looks like, Just know that you’re not the only one. As you can see Handwriting is very important, Trust me. You’ll desperately need it during college.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Over the past few weeks, Room 3 literacy have been focusing on writing our very own speech about thing's we think we should start doing. For me, I did "Let's start old school again." The reason why I did it is because I noticed that most of our pupils in Team 5 have well from what I would say Ugly hand writing, I mean even I do! So I list my reason of why we should. Check it out!

Week 1&2: Geometry Words. Directions.

WALT: Use Geometry words involving directions.

These two weeks of school, During maths we learnt how to use geometry words involving directions. We had to use one of our street maps and locate 3-4 other locations of how to get there using Geometry words. Such as: North, East, South and West or Never Eat Soggy Weet bix. (My way of remembering it.)

Week 1&2: Decimals.

WALT:
- Add tenths and hundredths.
-  Use geometric language.


Throughout the two weeks of school, We learnt about decimals. How we could add tenths and hundredths, We also used fractions to compare with decimals. Our class learnt how to use word problems, For an example: Sixty two and five tenths.

Space Race - Week 1.

WALT -  Justify by selecting the evidence across a range of texts to demonstrate what I understand of the 'Space Race' and it's purpose.SUCCESS CRITERIA:  I will identify in my letter to opposition team their accomplishment by way of what I understand from text set.

This week's learning intention was "The space race." Studying about why and how the competition started in the first place, We answered question that we were given and had to study to have evidence for our answer.

Immersion Assembly - Guardians of the Galaxy!

 WALT -  I will identify the different places speeches/talks are given and how they are designed for delivery

Protecting and helping the earth improve in a better kind. Finding out new and interesting information of what it’s like above us way high, What’s beyond the clouds we see almost every day? Exactly why Pt England school is studying about it. Each team has a different learning intention, we all shared what we’re learning towards at Monday's Immersion Assembly.

Guardians of the galaxy it is!

What am I looking forward to this terms topic?

Towards this terms topic I’m looking forward on answering the questions I have in mind, The different features in space. Exactly why and how is the oxygen in space different to planet earth? Well hopefully at the end of term 3 I have the answer to that.

Most Informative performance.

From my perspective Team 4 had a really informative short clip that was presented, It had a lot of detail of what they're learning about this term. Since earth is slowly dying, What’s another planet to keep us humans still standing? Well 3 teachers of Team 4 attempted to travel to 3 different planets to see if it was possible to breathe and live on different land. Sadly all 3 attempts failed. So, basically their learning about survival on different planets, if we could adapt to it or not and the big Mars mission!

Most Entertaining performance.

Of course, Team 5 was the most entertaining performance of the day. The reason why because it had a lot more enthusiasm as they were the only team that did a Live performance. 4 teachers of team 5 holding musical instruments surrounding the lead singer Mrs Judd. They also had a lot of information in their song that they presented but some parts of the song I couldn’t hear due to Mrs Judd singing fast.

Language Features!

WALT -  develop our knowledge on figurative language and understand their use within a text

Over the past two weeks we've been learning about Language Features! How it could be connected to a poem and so much more, We learnt the definitions of words, language features and poems. What's the story behind the poems? It all links up to the words the author uses in the poem. We had three texts to finish of this weeks learning intention. We developed our knowledge on figurative language and understand their use within the three texts we were give.
