Hello Everyone! Today for the Cyber smart challenge, we had to make Matariki pixel art. I found it kinda boring because you just had to press the same keys but it was worth it and the top one was the one I was trying to make, the second one is the one I made. Next to my art pixel there is a chart of how many of the colours I used.  I know it doesn’t look as close to it but it was kinda hard to match it well and so I tried my best to make it as close as possible, but I did only change one bit. I hope you like my art byee!

Hello Everyone! Today I will be talking to you about my trip in the LIMO!

𝑰𝒏𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏!

On Tuesday 28th May I got to go on the Limo ride!, Which I was very excited for. The other 6 people who were going on this trip with me was Zohaidah (BFF), Nadi (Sister), YiYi, Shwe Shwe, Aie Sorn, Khaing May and the adults who came with us was Miss Ta, Mr J, and the driver. We went on this trip because we worked hard doing sporty bots even when kids were rude. We went to 8 different places and each and every one of those places was so cool to see even places I’ve never been to. We took photos of every place we went to like I’m talking lots.

𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 1!

Our first stop was this beautiful garden called Michael Savage Memorial at Bastion point. There was a lake there and pretty bright flowers with this building where you can’t go inside. It even has a picture of him on the building to remember him. Our second stop was at Parnell Drive white pedestrian bridge, we went on this bridge where only pedestrians (people) can go on that bridge and we got to walk on that bridge, on our way to that bridge we get scared by these dogs but when we walked back where the dogs were last time they weren’t there, we were relieved. Then we went back into the car. Our third stop was Downtown, Wynyard Quarter and Harbour Bridge. We went under that bridge but definitely not under water. When we were under the bridge we could hear the cars driving along and on a wall there was something written there but I forgot what it was then we went back in the car. Our fourth stop was at Winter Gardens Auckland Domain. That garden was beautiful to look at. There was a green lake and really nice bright flowers and chillies there, which I love spicy. There was this fountain where you could put coins in if you’d like and to make sure nobody was there to take the coins, which was good they put something so our hands can’t fit. We took many photos there and you could come in the winter and plant whatever you want.

𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 2!

Our fifth stop was at the Eden Park Stadium. I was hoping we could go inside but obviously we couldn’t go in the stadium so we just looked on the outside. While we were just standing there taking pictures we saw a car there with two people in the passenger seats, wondering how they got there. Our sixth stop was at Cornwall Park. We stopped there to have a picnic. The food/drink we got was Doritos, L&P, water, hot dogs, Sandwiches and donuts. Since we didn’t finish all the food we got Mr J had an idea of giving the rest that are not eaten to the next 7 people who will be going on this trip on tomorrow. From the goody bags we got, chips, juice box, marshmallows, lollipops and a mini chocolate bar. Mr J got a little carrot cake for me with candles on top because it was my birthday on that day and everyone sang happy birthday to me. It was windy on that day so the wind blew the candles out for me. I’m not trying to be mean but I didn’t like the carrot cake so I gave it to my friend (YiYi).

𝑯𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 3!

Our seventh stop was at Howick Historical Village. We couldn’t go inside the museum but we could see from the outside and what we saw was a place that looked abandoned. There is nothing much to say about this place. Our last stop we went to this really cool place and the name of this cool place was called Musick Memorial. The reason why there is a k at the end of music is because it’s the first letter of the person’s name and in the olden days they had a way to communicate with each other by using strings and a can. Which I thought was cool considering they didn’t have phones yet.

𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒄𝒍𝒖𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏!

I’m pretty sure everyone had a great time and I had a great time too. It was pretty cool hearing all the facts Mr J said about all the places we went to. When the limo driver opened the door for us I was so surprised. A big thanks to the Ted Manson people who sponsored the limo and taking us, Thanks to Miss Va’afusuaga who chose us to be in the limo, Thanks to the limo driver who drove us around Auckland. I’m very thankful for this trip and I’m lucky to have such amazing people come on this trip with me.

I hope you enjoy reading my recount about the limo ride. Byee!

Setting Description

Introduction!

Today I will be talking to you about the year 7’s time doing the year 7 step-up program.

The day most year 8’s and teachers left for camp, which was on Wednesday 8th-10 we had our year 7 step-up program. The step-up program is a chance for us year 7’s to step-up and show the younger kids the right way. We had 3 days to step-up. We did this at school and why we have this step-up program is because normally it’s the year 8’s to lead the school mostly but those 3 days were for the year 7’s to lead. When the year 8’s left we needed sub prefects for our school assembly and the people who chose to be one were Zohaidah,Annie Marie,Eve,John,Ponyamon,Jaxon P,Jaxon F. I wanted to apply for the prefect but I sadly couldn’t because the day they were needed I had to go to Wellington early in the morning for my brother’s graduation but I was happy my BFF got chosen to be one (Zohaidah).

Highlights 1!

One of my highlights are that we did fun rotations the first rotation was with Mrs Langitupu, one I did was tik tok dances, We had to choose a song or chose one of the songs that were already chosen by Miss Tuia, we also had to be in a group of 3-4 and I had a group of 3, the people who were in my group is Zohaidah, Chrislyn and me, the song we choose was 4 walls and used the tik tok dance on tik tok but we changed most of the moves. We also got to perform it in front of our group and I had a great performance because it was fun but I was a little nervous.

Highlight 2!

The second rotation was with Miss Tipene, we did fun games in the main space of team 5 (The Street). Firstly we got into 3 groups of 8-9 and after we got into our groups Miss Tipene started to talk about the games and the rules. The first game we did was we had to crawl to the table and build the cups in the colour order which made it harder and I failed. My knees were stinging because of that plus my knees were peeling which made it kinda hard for me to stand straight for some reason. We had a race doing that to see who can get everyone to do it and sit down first. Our second game was the same thing as the first game but it was with legos and we got given cards and we had to copy but we didn’t have to copy the colour this time, which I was happy about. The 3rd game we played was a hula hoop challenge. We had to hold hands together and the hula hoop had to go through all of us, then we had to sit down in a straight line and whoever does that the fastest wins. That’s all the games we played.

Highlight 3!

The 3rd rotation was with Whea Saf but I wasn’t here on that day so I’ll just tell how the graduation went for my brother (Maung). When I first found out I couldn’t come to school I was sad because I love school but I was alright with it because I couldn’t do anything to change my mum/dad mind. On the day of my brother’s graduation I was really happy but also the graduation was long. Definitely wasn’t longer than my other brother’s graduation (Kyaw), Anyway after the graduation we took lots of photos, which I don’t like taking lots of photos but I didn’t mind anyway. We had to make it back before 1:00 because that is when we were doing the walk with the other graduates and when my brother came he stopped to see us and we gave him flowers, then we walked with him. By the way there was drumming playing in the background. We walked all the way to the people who were in charge of the graduation and they gave a speech. We got to walk with him too.

Conclusion!

I found the year 7 step-up program really fun and I think that was a good way to teach us how to step-up when the year 8’s are gone. I found the grad fun for the walk but not the ceremony because it was kinda boring.

Hello Everyone! This week my reading group has been learning about refugee’s and why we have to treat everyone the same even if people are different from you. I answered many questions about this and I wanted to show you the main question I answered. Anyway that’s all i have to say right now but if you have any questions please ask. Byeeee

Hello Everyone! In term 1, Team 5 did an animation about how our family came to Auckland, NZ and how they came to be a Pt Englander. Most of us found it hard to do it on Photopea, like me, so Mr Wiseman found a way on how it could be easier, which is doing it on slides, Let’s be honest here, doing it on slides was way more fun in my opinion even if it would look cooler to draw it, but I have to admit I’m not much of a drawer her, which is one of the reasons why I choose to do it on slides. One of the reasons why my family came to live in NZ is well you’ll find out in the video. Let’s be honest here, doing it on slides was fun but I was so tired after I was finished, we got almost a whole term to do this. Just click on this link and you will go to the video of me explaining it. Hope you like my DLO Animation, Byeee
