      Travelling around the world.

Make the most of it:You’re about to embark upon a journey that will be life changing.Let it.Meet new people, do things you didn’t see yourself doing,And learn from it.This may be your one opportunity.

Think safely:Going around the world can be as dangerous as you let it be.Take the appropriate precautions to avoid being taken advantage of.

Thinking safely is a very important thing it will only be important if you are going to travel by yourself.The reason why it is important is because the country your going could have very dangerous people there so you have to at least have someone with you.

Keep In touch with your family:For safety purposes, every few days find an Internet cafe and email your parents or friends, so they know where you are in case of an emergency.
It's not difficult to get a cheap phone if you're staying in an area for a reasonably significant amount of time. It may be as simple as switching out your sim card.
Only bring your computer if you're working or otherwise truly need it. Otherwise it will be cumbersome and you'll just worry about it being stolen.

Current events Activities

2nd Fiafia

Today Ptengland school had there very own 2nd fiafia day.

The reason why we had our 2nd fiafia day is because when we had our first one it was raining.Most of us didn't get to watch the other's performance's so then Mr Burt decided to have another fiafia day.

There were so many performances that were amazing usually my group goes first but we couldn't because our tutor couldn't come till the end so then my group went last. Since we had to wait till the end i saw one of the best performances that was the senior Tongan group the reason why i chose that group is because that group was smiling a lot and they all remember there actions also the Samoan group.

Even though there were so many groups I still payed attention to it and tried to stay alive so that i wouldn't make my tutor angry.I was getting tired but when the jump jam came on it was so cool i just wanted to get up and dance.


This is my story for the week please comment back thank you.

My Animation

 As you can see I have put a movie about littering it shows a chip packet sweeping along the shore into the beach and then there comes a bird it see's the chip packet so it decides to eat it then it dies.
So if your reading this and you litter please don't because it can corse nasty things to animals or humans SO DON'T LITTER......

Attitude Talk

Today we had a guest come into team 5 and tell us about things we need to know.

My favourite part about the attitude talk is which animal am I?Like what kind of attitude do you show in class like are you a entertainer which is a otter.Or are you a lion a director,A Golden Retriever  is a peace maker last of all a beaver which is the facilitator. I reckon I will be a lion because sometimes I  will direct people around especially to my siblings.

What should we do when were doing dumb things.We should dump our dumb ideas and focus on good things not going around the class and being a clown that's how you don't get anywhere in life.When were doing dumb things we could get over board and try and do something very bad so that's the reason why we should dump our dumb ideas.

Try new things? When your in a group and there's something new going on try it out.You would probably get use to it for a couple of mins trying new things out is great it could help you with your learning.If you don't try new things out that will be kind of boring because your just gonna stick to the things you know and that's dumb I reckon we should try out new things.

these are my three points about how tony had talked to us about our attitude and all sorts of things like What animal am I,who am I,am I normal,all those kinds of things I reckon the attitude talk is important to me because I wouldn't know which animal I will when I grow up in the future.

What is litter

Me and my group had researched 10 fun facts about litter.The most interesting fact was 9 billion tons of litter ends up in the ocean every year.

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.

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.

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.
