Halloween

WALT: choose an celebration to work on.

 Today the celebration I chose to work on is Halloween. I chose Halloween because it's coming up and it's going to be very fun amusing and delicious. On Halloween you see lot's of happy kids, families or even adults knocking on doors waiting to say Trick-Or-Treat. Most people like Halloween because of their delicious lollies they give out. Everyone wears their wonderful spooky costumes on Halloween to make it more better and fun. Hopefully this coming up Halloween i'm gonna be the spookiest clown but maybe just not to scary for the kids.

Music With Caleb

WALT: reflect on what we did at music. 

Today room 9 went to music. For music today we did an exam about

music and it was fun during part of it for me. It was challenging throughout the 

whole exam but hopefully I got some questions right. Next time maybe 

I think I need to work on focusing more on the work that i've been given instead of being 

distracted by others. I need to also keep coming to school so I can learn more about music.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

SSR- Reflection

WALT: reflect about the article we read for SSR.

Today for SSR I read on a article that is about a conjoined twins

that have been suffering from their heads being conjoined

together but were luckily separated by a life threatening 27 hour operation. 

Thanks to their surgeon Dr Goodrich that gave them his best with the 27 hour operation

that got them this far. The twins are now recovering in the Bronx's Montefiore Hospital from their

very long and tiring operation.  This article has really got me thinking about what I want to be

in the future and I gave me a thought that when i'm older I want to be surgeon so I could help

others that are searching for help. I would like to help people in the future so I want to be a surgeon or a educated doctor.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

Reading

WALT: think critically about texts with increasing understanding and confidence.

Today for reading room had to read a text name "Wild Boy" The journey of Brando Yelavich 

by Stephanie Chamberlin. We had to read through it three times and then find out what were the connections that we were able to determine from the text. As a class we were able to find out that the connections were that Brando discovered something about himself while on the adventure and we also discovered something about ourselves. We had to put down at least three things that we learned about ourselves at school this whole year, what we struggle on and continue to work on, what we improved on and hoe we're doing with our work.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

15 Minutes Outside

WALT: reflect on our 15 minutes outside.

15 MINS OUTSIDE

Intro: Malo E Lelei my name is Nita and I will be talking about 15 mins outside. We had a choice of what we wanted to do together as a class but 1 person had to choose. So the teacher (Miss Komor) picked and she chose the birthday boy (Metui). What he wanted us to do was to go outside and play. So we did that for him and for us to.

So as we went outside to play the boys went on the field and played rugby. While the girls played on the park but some girls wanted to play with the boys so she went and played with them. What I did first was that I went into the small little house and had a 2 minute rest there with Paterita & Irys. Then we got out and I went to Ana, Nooroa & Hereani and we did the Juju on that beat dance. When we finished we went onto the park and found our own spots to the it again to show Miss Komor.

After we got in our spots we showed Miss Komor the Juju on that beat and then she gave us a thumbs up. Then we just chose a game to play and we chose to play busted. The game goes like this: first everyone has to get on the park and last one on is in. Then whoever goes on the ground if anyone sees them and they say busted then they’re in. So even if the person that’s in touches the ground and they get busted they have to count to 10 and everyone runs away until they finish counting then they chase after them.

Then we all started playing the game. The girls that were playing were Nita, Paterita, Raena, Ana, Nooroa, Hereani, Helen, Kalo & Irys. So as we were playing Miss Komor kept on checking on us to see if we were sitting down doing nothing or just relaxing. Everything was ok because everyone was included in the games and it was fun. We only had 15 minutes outside but it was still worth it.

Facts Abotu Mali

WALA: reflection about Mali.

Today for SSR we searched up facts about Mali. When we first

got told to work on Mali I didn't know what the teacher meant because

i've never learnt about Mali before. I'm glad I got to work about Mali

so I could learn more about Mali and their country. Next time i'd like to focus more on

what their cultural dances are or what they do.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

Facts About Utah

WALA: reflection about Utah.

Today for SSR we searched up facts about Utah. One interesting fact I found 

out about Utah was that Utah is the only state with the Mormon majority.

I wish I was able to go to Utah because it sounds

fun and looks fun. I learnt many new facts about Utah. Hopefully next

time I could learn more about Utah.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

Music - Reflection

WALT: learn different ways to play music and how to communicate through music.

Today, room 9 went down to the music room to have music with Caleb.

We have music times with Caleb so we can be able

to understand music what lyrics they use, what it looks like and many more 

reasons why. We learn about music so we may understand them and 

what the notes mean. Music today was fun and next time I hope to try better on

being on time with the beat.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

Reading - Reflection

WALT: I can find and learn the meanings of unknown
vocabulary by using strategies such as applying my
knowledge of how words work or seeking explanations in
the text or in illustrations.

Today for reading my group had been reading about

a book called "Oakley Creek". We had to find out what connections were

we able to determine about the text and 3 things

that we could infer about the text. I can tell you that part of this text is about

a girl name Faith and she had to decide what she would do out of doing the right thing or the bad thing. Of course she chose to the the bad thing but only so she could fit in with the other kids.

I guess that what I learnt from this was that if you want to fit

in with others you just gotta be yourself so others can

choose you for who you are.

Thank you for reading enjoy!

Food Technology - Reflection

WALT: reflect on technology today.

Today for technology with Mrs. Tuipulotu we made

some delicious Macaroni & Cheese. The year 8's all worked very hard 

to get a perfect macaroni to eat, but of course they were all yummy. My buddy was Paige 

and we worked really hard on it together.

Next time I think that we work a little bit faster and better.
