Term 1 Reflection

‘This term was fun,cool and educative. Our topic this term was, 3 p’s. I enjoyed this term it was cool. Most of the time I was behind but I still tried to get the task done. The last few weeks we have been practising harder for our Fia fia. I am in the Niuean group, our teachers in the Niuean group are Ms Lavakula and Ms Lagitupu. Also to keep on track our class has a checklist. We have to tick our tasks if we have completed them and if we haven't we have to stay in lunchtime and complete them.

The highlights for me this term was playing games with other classes going tech and also reading in class. Capture the flag was by far the best game for me. In class I liked going on Maths Whizz and Xtramath. I like reading and maths. I liked graphics tech at T.C with Mr Pineda and I also enjoyed Maori class with Ms Tito in room 19. Every Tuesday is our Maori class after morning tea and every Thursday we have tech we walk down at 8:40.

My down lights for me this term is gotta be not getting my work on time and having to stay in at lunchtime. On the beep test I think I got 6:3 I was disappointed because I didn't beat my last years 6:4 score on the beep test. I also reckon I could've kept going, but I will just try harder next time.

My goals for next term will be to improve my maths and try harder to get work done on time. I am looking forward to seeing what topic we have for term 2. I think that this term was cool and I can’t wait for term 2.

Stormy Beach

Plan:

Paragraph 1: Orientation

“CRASSHH,” massive waves hit the shore . The treacherous rain made me feel like a bunch of thugs were up in the sky shooting down at me. My cousin slept over for the night.  I wondered why we even came to the beach. Birds were huddling up like a rugby team before a match, but trying hard to keep their stance. My mum was trying to say something to my little brothers, my cousin and I but the winds was so strong it snatched her words away.We couldn’t hear a thing. Rays of sun shining through holes in the dark black clouds.

Paragraph 2: Problem

We were walking towards a crop of rocks and my cousin thought it would be cool to try balance on one of the rocks on a stormy day like this. He got up but the he slipped and went head first on a big rock. My brothers were laughing and I tried not to laugh but it was funny. We waited for him to get up, but he didn’t.

Paragraph 3: Problem

I went check what he was up to, and he was laying knocked. Blood pouring out of his head like a tap. I went to take my phone out of my pocket , but it wasn't there. Then I remembered my phone was taken off me for getting into trouble with it. I ran hard against wind the sand whipping against my legs made it even harder to get to her a started calling her name she turned and asked me what’s wrong.

Paragraph: 4

I told her what happened and she called the ambulance and ran over to him. The ambulance came. They took my cousin to the hospital, we followed. After a while we walked in his room and he was fine with a few stitches on his head.

Triathlon

On Wednesday, at school we went to this triathlon activity with room 15. It was held at the main field. When we reached the field we looked at what was there. I think I was here for last years one in room 21. There were bikes lined up and then cones placed around the field and for the swimming there was a little slide thing. A triathlon is an event which consists of three sports, swimming, biking and running and they are placed in that order.

For swimming we had to slide on a see-through tarpaulin. The non-sliders had to do star jumps until the sliders have four turns on the tarpaulin. After that we had to run to the bikes and chuck a helmet and run your bike out until you get out of the transition. Once you're out you can ride, I was on those blue mountain bikes. After one lap around the course I hopped off the bike before the transition and I parked it up and placed my helmet. Next we ran around the course and then we finished.

Once the room 15 girls and boys and our class girls went again it was our turn once again. We went of groups of boys and girls.  After another turn I was tired, then we sat down. Next we left back to class.

The Haunted House

`Ugh Look at that hideous house!” John said. “Look at the shattered glass, was there a world war 3 here?” Jack and his older brother John found a house while walking around the streets while they stayed at their Grandparents house for the weekend.

“Whoa did you hear that? “ John asked, Jack thought he heard screams from the inside.

“Nah I didn’t hear a thing, but maybe we should check it out” replied Jack.

“Oh I don’t know” answered John, as he started walking down the path, a look of unease flickered over his face. “Oh stop sacking it you girl,come on,” Jack exclaimed. He was surprised that he was telling his older brother not to be a girl. So John reluctantly decided to go follow Jack, so they went to take a closer look at the house.

As they inspected the house at a closer view Jack got distracted by a shiny light gleaming through the door window. Jack immediately ran towards the door to peek through the window. “STOP!” John yelled as he saw his bro running towards the house and Jack looked back and ran straight into the door. The door swung right open with a big smash. The door handle pierced right through the wall.

Jack stood up hypnotised by something inside the house.  John asked him if he was algood but no reply came Jack was still looking at something.

“What is it?” John asked curiously.

“Come look, it’s treasure” Jack finally answered. John carefully headed up the stairs towards his brother. They were staring a chest shining bright like a diamond, coated in gold, alone by itself at the in of the hallway. “I'm gonna check it out, come with me” Jack whispered.

“Ok i’ll come” John said. John was just curious to see what was in the chest. They both steadily creeped down the corridor making a quiet creep with each step on the floor.

When they got closer the front door slammed shut and they both turned around and they saw a dark figure standing in the shadows. They ran looking for a way out they found a stairs and didn’t hesitate and they ran up the stairs. When they reached the top of the stairs it was another long hallway and at the end was an open window. They heard steps coming up the stairs.They reached the window and looked out,  “Its too high to jump” John said

“Jumping out this window is better then getting murdered by a stranger”

They leaped out and hoped for the best and they landed right in the garden, except this garden was full of plants with thorns all over them. They got up and ran straight home with a few cuts.

The Day Things Started Disappearing

The Day Things Started Disappearing

Tuesday the 5th of March, Today was second day of Magic week at school . Each day of the week this week had a topic, all students were given two weeks to pick a topic and practice any magic trick to perform this week. Today was Vanish Day, and it was my topic I had chosen. We all had to present our trick in assembly, my trick was simple but hard, put an apple into a hat and make it vanish. Some of my friends had presented their tricks yesterday on ‘Illusion day’(Monday).

It was time, all classes lined up and headed to the assembly. Each kid presenting their disappearing act had heaps of things in their hands, I only had a hat and an apple. We all sat down in our seats and settled down, our principle Mr Cool.Guy addressed our school. Then came the starting acts my friend Sione was first and he pulled of an amazing magic trick the whole school said ‘WOW,’ even the seniors were surprised.

Then it was my turn, I was nervous as, I hadn't even practiced . I went up onto the stage and explained my trick, I thought no one heard me. But still I didn’t care I just wanted to finish my trick and sit back down. I tried to do it, I put the apple in the hat covered it, I closed my as I showed everyone, a bright light flashed in my head and I didn't know what it was. I heard clapping, I thought to myself “Ayeee what happened,” I opened my eyes and bam the apple was gone, and I was like “faaaar” I did it. Everyone was clapping and cheering, I thought I was the man. Then I looked up at the clear blue sky, thinking how I did it, wondering what happened, I was amazed. Then I thought ‘ayeeeeee,’ I can see the sky. I was in assembly and I could see the sky, the roof was gone. Then I looked down and everyone was gone. I was sacking it to the days, I panicked and I looked down at my feet and the floor was gone. I was flying, I mean not flying standing on nothing, next the chairs were gone. Then a bright light shined into my face and I heard voices.

I closed my eyes then a few moments later I opened my eyes to see everyone around me, I asked them what happened and they said I fainted on the floor. I looked down to the hat in my hand hoping it the apple actually disappeared, but no the apple was in there. The worst day ever.
