Tangata Pasifika

Today Tangata Pacifika came to our class. It is a T.V programme on channel 1 and out of all the classes in my school they chose ours.

Having Tangata Pasifika come into our class it is great to show off our talents in class.

The presenters names are Osone and Okesene. They interviewed some of the students and asked them what do they think about Christmas.

Well they were in our class we were making Christmas tags for our presents to give to our families then we had to create something related to Christmas with dou.

It has been a great time having them in our. We hope another television programme comes into our class.

Thinking Skills!

This morning room 22 did something different. We did some logical and creative things to solve a problem. To do these things you had to be creative and logical.

We had to get in groups of threes. My Problem solving question was how to look after a wounded seagull. My objects were, cellotape, jandal, book, bucket and umbrella. Apparently our problem wasn't solved and we got a fail.

Next time we do this I am going to think harder and better.

THE RUGBY WORLD CUP CHAMPIONS!

R.W.C Fireworks In Town

"POOF CRACK!" the fireworks exploded above my head. I was really excited and happy that it was the opening of the Rugby World Cup. It was fascinating and was packed. The firecrackers were beautiful by the looks of different colours and hearing the loud cracks in the sky. But the bad thing was that I had to wait until the train came. It didn't come until another 5 hours or so. I was really angry because I never got to watch the 1st game which was All Blacks versus Tonga. But I still had fun.

!Our Taonga Time!

Every Friday we have a unique time called Taonga time. Taonga means treasure in Maori.
There are 7 types of activities like ICT, art, music, team building, p.e, science and Kapa Haka. All the year 7 and 8 students go to different activities.

I go to Kapa Haka but we don’t swap around with the other groups because it is a time for us to practise. In Kapa Haka we sing special Maori songs and do Haka’s. A Haka is a type of dance where we have to look fierce and dance our hearts out and stomp our feet and slap our chest until the end of the Haka. After the Haka you can feel abit soar on your chest but sometimes feels really good.


I'm so glad to be in the kapa haka group because I like to learn new songs and haka’s and like to go hard out.

Christ Church Earthquack

On the 22ND of February a 6.3 earthquake happened at 12:51 pm in Christchurch. When it happened Everyone in Christchurch panicked and cried for help. It is so sad that 75 people past away by a big building that collapsed. They don't know if there will be an after shock. Dozens of people might be still alive or might of past away too. This is a really scary thing.

All About Me....

Talofa Lava. My name is Henry Tumanuvao and I go to point England school in Auckland. We have many good things happening at my school like we got our new net books,we have our brand new class rooms, and more new people are coming to my school. My favourite subject is art. I really like drawing and I am good at it. On t.v My favourite programme is sponge bob square pants. At school my teachers name is miss Tito. she is a good teacher and helped me learn new things like statistics, graphs and data. Our principle is Mr Burt. he is a great principle at our school. He was the one who help make this happen.!!!THIS YEAR IS GOING TO BE A FANTASTIC YEAR WOOHOO!!!

my amazing bug is a praying mantis. Ms Tito told us to choose a bug and write some information about it, So I chose a praying mantis. There are many types of mantises and Information about it. The Praying mantis was named by that because of its praying position. They are carnivore insects witch means They eat meat. There are many other mantises that live in the sea,forest and different countries. Some mantises are small some are big some are medium sized But are a family. Some scientist agree that the mantis and cockroaches are closely related. The name mantis comes from the Greek word Prophet or soothsayer. The biggest mantises are called the Tenodera and the archimantis, They are 6 inches long. The smallest mantis is a bolbe pygmaea witch is only one centimeter that is unbelievable.

Duck's Stuck!

Duck is a good but hungry so it went off to search for food then it spotted a shed and it stuck its head in a crack from the shed then It was full so it tried to pull its head out but it couldn't then a rat came blew dust to the duck and the duck sensed and blew up the shed. This is a good story for all you little kids because u will learn not to stick your head in a gap and get stuck.

Mairangi bay

On the 19TH off November we went to Mairangi Bay and learnt how to keep safe at the beach.
We had lots of fun there swimming playing and learning. there were four lifeguards there names were Megan,Bailey,Rosy and Raquel. They taught us about IRB. IRB means Inflatable rescue boat. The IRB is a boat that life guards use so if someone is far out at sea they can see them with there binoculars and then run to the boat and drive to them. The driver has to go next to the person in the water so they hit them with the boat. we learnt to slip slop slap and wrap Slip means to slip on some clothes Slop on some shoes Slap on some sunblock and Wrap some glasses. We learnt about some waves like surging waves,shore breaker,dumping wave and Spilling wave. The Shore breaker is the most dangerous wave because it will smash you into the shore and it could kill you. The life guards said that if in doubt stay out that means that if you don't want to swim then don't. and never swim if you are tired or cold because you can make some dumb decisions. Always listen to any lifeguards advice and beware of the currents so it doesn't drag you out to sea.
