Facts About Jamaica

WALT: reflect about Jamaica.

Today for SSR we were given a country to search up about
and we were given Jamaica. I found lots of cool facts about Jamaica
that got me searching up more and more facts about Jamaica. In Jamaica theres
a saying and it says "Same bird weh carry news come, a de same bird tek eh back". Meaning: The person who brings gossip to you is the same one taking it back. 

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.
