The Special Call

On Saturday morning my sisters and I received a special call. We were all wondering who could of called us at 10 in the morning. My eldest sister then went to answer the phone, the call said "You are about to receive a call from a visitor." We were all happy to hear from my brother down in Hasting. We talked for about fifteen minutes until he told us he had to get back to work. Hearing my brother made my day.

Being Suitable With Energy

Last Thursday in the afternoon we had a very special visitor who came to talk to us about how to be sustainable with energy.

She works at Vector and we were even luckier to have her come to our school and tell us new things. Her tips and advice on how to stay sustainable with energy were very useful. She gave out some stickers to the people who answered her questions. She also showed us a solar powered car and helicopter and how it works. At the end she gave us all a book full of fun activities and ways to be suitable with energy and a pencil. We learnt a lot from her.

Rom 12s Syndicate Assembly

On Monday afternoon we had to host the senior syndicate assembly.

We had to make it thirty minutes long. But before we could practice we had to plan what we were going to do. We had two days to think and plan. On our first day we were put into two groups, we all had to memorize what we were going to say. When morning tea was over we had our first practice. We had to sit in the order we were talking in. After that it was our real assembly. We had to speak loud and clear. It was fun hosting our senior syndicate assembly. 

Back To School!

After a long two weeks of school holidays it was finally time to switch our brains on and focus on school work.

Our two week holidays didn't really feel like a two week holiday. It felt less like a holiday. Just sitting at home and knowing that we don't have to wake up at six o'clock to get ready for school was awesome! But now that we have to wake up at six I miss sleeping in. Just another nine weeks to go till the next holidays YAY!

Lunch Time Sports

On Tuesday  we had sports at lunch time with Mrs Shortland.

Before we could start playing we had to be put into two teams. When we were put into two teams we could start to play soccer. Each team had to make someone protect the goal. About 10 minutes into the game the other team scored a goal. During the game it started to spit. After a goal was made the ball was put into the middle and the game started again from there. That was when our team kicked it. We then got two goals. The other team then got two goals. We all played fair and were nice to each other. Well done to the winning team!  

Fruit Kebab Movie

Two weeks ago we were put into two teams to make a movie about Healthy Foods.

We had to make a movie that was about two minutes long. Before we could make it we had to plan out what we were going to be doing. It took us about three days to plan it. When that was done we had to practice our lines. All of us had about three days to practice our lines, before we could start making our movie.

Heilala and I brought in some fruits to use for our kebabs.Once the movie was made we were able to add music to the storyboard. We had about five days to do this. Once that was done we had to publish it. Well done!

Softball Team

Yesterday we went to Dunkirk to play softball. The people who were in our team were Sophie, Maranatha, Heilala, Suliasi, Quros, Sione, Timote, Mele, Min Zin, Mika, Samuel and I. We all tried our best. There were nine other schools there. We played against 5 other schools. They were Glenbrae, St Patrick's, Sylvia Park Maroon and Pt England Black. We lost two games and won 2 but on our last game  was a draw against Panmure Bridge. We all tried out best and worked very hard. Well Done!
