Webzidazical - Don't Get Caught.

As I stared and watched different acts come on stage , I think I let my nerves get to me. “What if I go some where wrong?.” I mumbled , anxiously awaiting for my mask to arrive from the other room. It was the final night of the production. Named ‘Webzidazical’ and produced by our two talented teachers, Mr Jacobsen. “Hope I perform to the peek of my talent!” I whispered to myself.

Saving up all the practise , I knew that this was a night I would never forget. “Hope we do well!” I exclaimed to my friends. After finishing getting ready , all we had to do now was wait for our time to come. Being finally , handed my mask I was in need for an energy boost. Like chocolate ! “Mrs Lavakula , im CRAVING for chocolate. Could I hand out some of the chocolate fish please?” I said with a smile on my face , so big as if I was a joker. “Sure , why not?.” She replied.

Being held up in Room 8 , it was as dull as a boring birthday party. But except no friends and no family. No music and no food ! We were all just sitting there , with nothing to do but just to watch the performance go on. I mean not that the performance was getting boring but the atmosphere around me. “Mrs Va’afusuanga , there’s nothing to do in here!” I yelled , as if she was deaf. “Then why don’t you find something to do?” She replied and well it was worth a try.

As the time was ticking by quickly , it was nearly time for us to go on. Playing with cards and blasting music from one side of the room to the other , the night had actually turned out quite fun ! “Mrs Va’afusuanga was right!” Spoke my mind.”It WAS worth the try.” But my nerves were still getting to me and It was like I couldn’t stop them. Suddenly it was time. Time to make my mark on stage.

“Boom Clap , Boom Boom Clap Clap!” we all stomped , making our entrance on to the stage. I couldn’t help but notice the audience cheering for us. With different beats and rhythms came on to the stage , I felt like all the weight had finally being taken off of my back. Only seeing scary masks appear on the stage and from the back of the hall , “GO ALA!” I heard my mum scream from the distance. As my nerves started disappearing and the feeling of wanting to continue performing up on the stage , it was time for us to hop of the stage.

With a sign of relief , I thought that was the best performance ever in Pt England history. Jumping up with joy , I knew that I did my best and I knew that I would remember this night forever. “Hopefully I did this school proud!” I said , coming off the stage with a smile on my face.

Lunar Eclipse

Lunar Eclipse. This happens when the moon passes behind earth to block the suns rays from hitting the Moon. It usually comes on June the 15th. As you can see the colour of Lunar Eclipse is a reddish colour.

Multiple Intelligence.

Multiple Intelligance. A website that would tell you which Smart we are. Firstly we had to fill out questions so they could add up all the answers. As you can see I am mostly Kinaesthetic . Kinaesthetic means that you are Body Smart. Meaning your athletic and you move around a lot by doing sports. My weakness is Logical. Meaning 'Number Smart' . I sometimes are unable to add up numbers or either way i'm not that strong at mathematics.

To me I really enjoyed taking this test . I think that I answered the questions truly and the final results were all true.

Questions About Earth

This term we are learning all about outer space. Firstly we had an option, it was to pick a planet and write down 10 questions that we didn't know about them. So here I gathered questions about earth and why do we exactly have earth ? The reason why I decided to pick earth was because I wanted to learn more about the place that we are living in but also why humans are living in a particular planet ?

It's Not About Winning !

“SPLASH!” as I slammed the light, soft sponge into the water all I could hear were my team mates telling me to hurry up. I couldn’t help but try and gather as much water as possible. Just so we could win the challenge! The senior block, home to years 7 and 8’s were all competing by classes to successfully earn the title “VICTORY”. Now I was eager to get that name.

With the scorching hot sun, slowly dieing down, all I could feel was the whistling wind blowing the tips of my hair. “Kaloni, pass it already!” forcing my dried throat to scream. Reluctantly throwing it with all her might, all I could feel was the freezing water hitting the side of my T-shirt. “Hahaha” I chuckled, turning my frown upside down. Then I knew it was pay back time.

“Come on guys, you can do it!” Ieremus yelled, but unfortunately I didn’t listen. Instead I slammed two rugby passes to my friends, hoping that they wouldn’t catch it. And, well they didn’t! Their T-shirts wet from dry and warm, to saturated and cold. “Sorry Tina and Kaloni!” I said, making them think it was an accident. “It’s alright!” they replied.

At the end of the day, our team unfortunately lost. We lost by having too much fun as in mucking around and by playing with the water!But I actually learnt something. I learnt that winning isn’t about everything, it’s all about co-operation (which we never used) and also about being a good sportsman. Which is all about having fun.

Our Team, Our Place.

This term we have been putting together a presentation showing other nations what New Zealand is about and who exactly the All Blacks are. The presentation was also suppose to help others , know what its going to be like in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup ! From watching this presentation , I hope that you learn more and become more interested in New Zealand and The All Blacks !

Maths Whizz

This term, we have been working on a new site called Maths Whizz. Its a site where we learn new strategies and become branier at maths !

Firstly, we were having to do an assessment to see where we were at. And I was having to work on my mutiplying big numbers using mental strategies. Over the past few weeks I think I have gained more and become more intelligent by using mental strategies ! I hope that I get to keep the work up.

Feelings

In Room 20 we have been learning to use an application called 'Picasa'. We took pictures of ourselves the described the feelings by using captions. Here are mine!

Who's Coming for The Cup?

South African Flag Meaning:
What I have found out was that many South Africans have the flags these colour's showing an event or what they see in their view:

Red: bloodshed of activists
White: (white) population
Blue: skies or the ocean
Yellow: minerals or gold!
Green: agriculture and land
Black: the non-white population.
And the ‘Y’ stands for the merging nationalities

Interesting Fact about South Africa :
South Africa is the top ranked gold producing country!

Problem Solving!

In Room 20 we are learning to use mind strategies to complete math problems. For this problem I used rounding compensating.

Discovery Presentation!

In the late 1880s two inventors Elisha Gray and Alexandra Bell both corresponded to create ‘The Telephone’ transmitting speech electronically. The very first transcontinental telephone call was in 1915!
As we delve deeper on the both inventors ' Alexandra Bell and Elisha Gray', we found out that Alexander Bell died of pernicious anemia at age 75. Him and Elisha Gray entered an Famous legal Battle over the invention of the Telephone that bell won.
Antonio Meucci was the very first inventor to create the "Telephone" in the 1850. In his own words he said he did not credit Elisha Gray and Alexander Bell for inventing the telephone.His dream was to transmit his voice through wires in 1856

My Artistic Name

At the start of the term, Room's 19 , 20 , 21 & 22 have been focusing on creating our own artistic name. What I had decided to do was to keep it normal. So I used a background that would best describe me & I thought that this one was the best. I think it describes, quietness & originality.

Science Roadshow!

As our group wondered around the Science Roadshow, the most intriguing thing was the Peppers Ghost. What captured our sight was when we turned on the light & up appeared a skeleton. The science behind all of this was the refraction when the direction of the light changed

`NORTH HARBOUR

Taking a deep breath I hopped onto the courts ready to play my first tournament. With the ball in between my sweaty, shaky hands I got ready to pass to my team mate. Wisssssh! As I passed the ball with all my power, she caught it. “Come on Auckland get it in!” I yelled. As our shooter took a deep breath she finally got it in! Running back to the center third, I was ready for a win.

As the game slowly ended, I was getting lethargic minute after minute. Jogging off the ashphalt I quickly grabbed my drink bottle. As I poured the cold, icy water on my face, I squinted my eyes. “ Whooah!” I said with relief. Our first game was finally over.

Opening my new Auckland rep bag I was astounded on how much junk food I had in there. Grabbing out my Mars bar, I opened the packet seeing gooey caramel slowly rolling down my finger. Licking it all up, I then took a huge bite out of the bar, burying my teeth in the smooth nougat. “ Come on Ala! “ Jazmine said , “ Let’s go! “ she said.

My Netball Goal

This term we have been focusing on what our goal is. This term I have to particular goals. My first one that I have recorded was my learning goal and my second one was my self management goal. I hope that I will be successful at these goals!

Interior Angles

Today Room 20 learnt all about the Polygon ( Triangle ) . What we were trying to discover was the interior angles of a regular triangle. Which are the insides of the shape. What I have found out is that all the angles add up to 180 degrees.

Glee

I'm not sure how to say this to the world, but well I'm officially in GLEE! Well not really. Im just singing a Samoan song. But I guess I like to think that I'm in it.Sometimes I even wonder how I got in this!

Being a gleek, is quiet hard but at the same time easy. What I am most enjoying right now is how we are singing mostly about our cultures. I like how we can describe what we feel and put in into one song all together.

What my biggest fear for me is my Confidence. Just like out tutor Ms Muliaumaseali says. I fear that sometimes I might get booed at! But I think I'll be good. So thats my gleek story.

I hope that in the future this would help me succeed at being anything.

Collage Netball ' LIVE'

I couldn’t imagine myself playing Netball ‘Live’ as well. But I wouldn’t, dear imagine that I would stuff up in a game like that! What AGONY. ‘ Come on, get up!’ I whispered in my head.Though I didn’t like the school, there was no one else to cheer for! “ Come on St Kentergeins! ‘ my mum screamed. Hiding my face from the cameras I whispered to myself “ What SHAME!”

As she sluggishly limped of the courts with pain, I captured the tear of a crying bird. Well that was actually my sister! Crying out with misery she knew that all of her training leading up to this was a waste.

With the game carrying on it was finally the last quarter. With my sister out of the game, and with NO idea what the score was I screamed ‘ GO ST KENTS!’ . As they picked up the speed on the court, my Mum yelled out ideas to help them. I thought, she thought that she was the coach. Ha!

‘ Nice game girls!’ I mumbled. As they came of the courts with a smirked smile, anxiously waiting for my sister. Patting her on the back she started screaming at me. “ WHAT! I was just trying to give you a heads up!”

With them losing the game,heading back home was a breeze! Getting Wendy’s, then having a nice warm sleep was the best part of the WHOLE day! Even though I was on T.V

Geometry Translation

In Room 20, we have been learning all about what 'Geometry Translation' is. This means that we are having to move the shape that we have chosen on a grid without changing sizes. Creating this on the very famous Google Apps, we discovered how to get the shapes and apply to the background of our sheet. So here it is. My very own creative Translation Graph.

Tornado Catashrophy

With a MEAN BEAST hitting Central of Albany an adverse tornado event unexpectedly devastated the WHOLE of C.B.D. With dark black clouds twirling like a washing machine, its strong power picked up debris like cars, to shopping malls, from homes to even TREES!

With its tremendous roar, reports have been coming in that only one person has died.
