Mr Patterson & Raenan

Mr Patterson came into team five and he had brang a guest with him which was a old yr8 at ptengland school that is now in yr12 at Tamaki collage. He had came to tell us to be aware of opportunities in collage. My most Impacting thing that Raenan said was when we get to collage just work hard and don't listen to what other people say because they are liars.

What Inspired me the most was when Raenan had talked about goals. Once you set a goal and achieve them you never know when your goal has became true. when Raenan had set a goal it had became true he was really happy to become head boy of Tamaki collage he had set that goal for 4 years and through out those 4 years he had been working hard to become a head boy.

So whatever collage you go to just appreciate what collage your parents had put you in and remember take advantage of the opportunities.

Pourqoui Tale

                                 How ladybug’s get there black spot’s? 

 How ladybug’s get black spots on her back?You might ask why. There was once a butterfly who lived in a tree, sitting on a leaf whose wings were red.Looking down at those little bug’s wondering what it would be like to be little.

One day this butterfly had been lonely she had been sitting inside a tree on a tree brunch very lonely she had no one to fly around with and also play some games. So all she did was sleepped the whole until she had heard a cat up in the tree crying cause it couldn’t get down so she flow away to another tree. Even though she couldn’t do anything for that poor cat she had just flow to the other tree.

 Once she had flow to the other tree she had heaps of little friends they were very small and black they were surrounding her so she got scared and went onto the other brunch next to it this butterfly was very tired she had stayed on that brunch to have a little nap.

 After she had woke up from her nap she had found out that she couldn’t walk properly she had turned into a ladybug that was colored red and had black spots on her back. She wasn’t very happy she really wanted to walk properly but she really didn’t care because all day she would just crawl around and look for some food.

Im wondering who did I get these black spots on me I think every time i get hot it's probably my spots

 This ladybug is very lazy everyday she would just sleep and eat. She probably has no friends to play with because she is lazy and she doesn’t know what to do with herself she won’t even get up and go to the other insects around her that’s why she is a very lazy ladybug she is the only one out of all the insects around her that is lazy.

My Halloween Poster


This week I have been learning about Halloween and why do people celebrate it.
Halloween is not a good thing for us little kids it could course bad thing's. Us kids when you see someone dressed up they will get scared and run away so that's why you don't let your children go trick or treating by them selves.

This poster show's you how children do not know about Halloween and also how they don't celebrate Satan. My second photo show's you that the little boy doesn't know why people are dressed up in costumes. My third photo show's people celebrating Halloween.

The Ugly Duckling

                 The Ugly Duckling
In a little town all the way down in the south island. There was a mother duck and a big ugly duckling sleeping on the side of a river waiting for mother duck's eggs to hatch.


It was a beautiful sunny day. Mother duck was sitting down for the whole day pondering about her egg’s. Woww!!! One of my eggs just hatched they're all hatching one by one mother duck sit’s on the big egg at last it open’s the ugly grey duckling.


One day, mother duck took her duckling’s to the river. The big ugly duckling told mother duck very discreetly that you have to be back before lunch because you need to feed them they will get hungry.


Two days later mother duck took her duckling’s to the farm yard The farmyard is very noisy. Their is a poor duckling that is unhappy there. The hen’s nip at him, The rooster’s flies at him,The duck’s pick at him,The farmer kick’s him.


One night he escaped from the farm yard. He comes to the river discreetly. He see’s many pretty birds swimming there. Their feathers are so white, their necks so long, their wings so pretty. The little duckling’s look at him and he really want’s to meet them so he can be a pretty duckling like them too.


Now it’s winter It’s white and snowy around the river. The river is covered with ice and the ugly duckling is very cold and unhappy. The baby duckling are unhappy because they are shivering and they have nowhere to swim.


Yeah!! Final spring comes the sun shines warmly everything is fresh and green the ugly duckling and the baby ducklings are happy they went to go to the river to swim because there is no ice covered over they were very happy.

                                         The End

Be A Giver

                     Be a giver.
Do you know who to be a giver?..Yeah I'm not a taker...

Well if you are a giver not a taker great. This morning we were excused while in our literacy class why? Well it was cause of Andrew Patterson while knowing him he came last year to talk to about some important things about our live and our future how we can prepare for it. He talked about a lot of thoughtful things as well. I didn't know that he came last year to talk to the year 7&8's because I wasn't in year 7 so I didn't know what hi was talking about last year.


Being a giver is doing something for someone and thinking of someone. An 11 year old boy called willy was walking to school one morning he saw a homeless man crying so stooped and asked the homeless man why he's crying and the homeless man told willy everything so then willy gave his pie to him and his lunch man to the homeless man for 2 whole week.

How to be a good role model

How Role Models help us.

They are helping to guide us through life during our development. And also to make important decisions that affects the outcome of our lives.

One way to be a good role model is to respect your elders by paying attention to what they say. When other kids see you doing it they will copy you. Also Role Models help us to make a change in our lives they help us with our problems and more. And if they see you doing something wrong they will stop you and ask you what you are doing.

Another way to be a good role model is to treat people the way you want to be treated. Instead of doing whatever you want think about others the way you want to be thought of. When you get treated the right way treat everybody else the right way don’t treat them in a bad way they won’t look up to you as a role model.

Another way to be a good role model is to Communicate with everyone
When you communicate with everyone don’t try to get the last word in when they are speaking. When you communicate with them they won’t be scared to communicate with you or others.

These are my three Ideas about how to be a good role model. If you need some ideas here they are. Respect your elders, Communicate, with everyone, Treat people the way you want to be treated.

Kids should get paid to go to school

                      Title:
Kids should get paid to go to school.
I think kids should get paid to go to school cause its hard.

Point:1
My first reason is why it is hard because we have to sit down on the mat for so long and wait till the teacher is finish talking and when we have to do that our boring teachers say things that are boring and then we get bored so then we get annoyed and then we will start talking to each other and then the teacher will stop doing what they are doing and then tell us what to do because we have been sitting down on the mat to long which when we do get up we are already tired from sitting down on the mat.

Point:2
My second reason Once we get paid to go to school we should be able to buy our lunch so then our parents don’t need to make our lunch and they don’t need to pack it away for us into our bags so sence we get paid we don’t need tob eat because we get paid to go to school.

Point:3
My last reason is why should kids get paid i rekon that they should get paid half the money that the teachers get and i think it is worth it because we are working very hard so thats why i think we shold get paid half the money that the teachers get also when we work hard and we finish our work we should get paid so what do you think???I hope you will agree with me that kids should get paid???


Conculsion:

So there you go I’ve wrote down all my reasons about kids should get paid to go to school I have stated them throw my three points I hope you will agree with me??

Year 7/8 Group Rotations

Today is the first day of year 8 camp.While they're away the year7s are having fun and participating in Activities the activities were art cooking and all sorts of games.The activity my group went to was games the games we played was try and make a tower with marshmallows and spaghetti sticks the time we had for that game was 25mins after 25mins of building the tower Mrs Judd measured all of our towers and then after that we played another game.So the other game we played was a premed game which we had to use was cups what we had to do was use a band and strings that were tied to the band the Amie of the game was to try and make a premed with it our group was straggling because it was so hard but then it was time up so then we had tried and take it down and then remake it once we did that we finally won when that game was finish we played our last game.The last game we played was we had to use pom-poms and straws what we had to do was get into our four groups and then sit out the back of the blue line and then wait till the teacher says go once she says go you go up-to the table and then you sack into the pom-poms and then put it on the other side of the table you have to do ten of them once you finish the other person go's you only get 1min to see how many people gets a turn if you get more then the other group then you when.So those are the games my group played it was so fun because the first game we played was funny because it was messy and we were throwing the marshmallows around when Mrs Judd wasn't looking also some of the other people in the other groups were eating the marshmallows even though Mrs Judd said not to eat it so then the boys eat them it was so so funny that was my favourite game of the day.

MY FIRST YEAR IN YEAR 7


On the first day of school 2017 I was worthy of becoming a year 7 student as I walked through the door I thought for a second and said its going to be hard now that I am a year 7 it was much easier when I was a year 6 but now that I am a year 7 I have to try my hardest.


To try my hardest in year 7 I will have to not talk to other people while the teacher is talking and I shall not sit next to anyone that I will talk to and they will talk to me.When I was a year 6 I wasn't listening really well to the teacher so this year in year 7 I will have to try and listen to the teacher.

On the second week of school I really liked to be a year 7 because we do better work then when I was in year 6. The work in year 6 was really boring so now that I am in year 7 I have really have good work.So when I get told to do my work I am really happy because it is good work that my teachers give me.

Through out the term every morning we start at 8:30 because we have our own senior assembly so we can kick our day off and to get our brain working for the day.So when we are having our assembly we do our mihi and the karakia once we are done with our assembly we go to our classes.

My favourite thing in year 7 is going to teach and we do sports when the year 8's go's to teach so that we have something to do when they are gone.And my other favourite thing about being in year 7 is coming to school before 8:30 and then coming in side the senior space and having assembly with all the year 7's and 8's.

I hope you enjoyed reading my story. (please leave a comment on my blog)
