Assembly Reflection: T2W9

Today we had a special assembly about Maori language week. My highlight of assembly was singing Mrs Kyla lit song about Matariki and seeing my good friend George get a award from the principle. I was very inspired by the way Frances and Constance presented their culture to the whole school, we also sang Tu Tiro Mai and Te Aroha. I was also happy to see the school participate with their singing and videos. Thank you so much for reading, Much love.

Oreo Milkshake

Mmmmmm...Oreo Milkshake. Our first lesson with Mrs Tuipulotu we made delicious Oreo Milkshakes, the ingredients we used were...

Oreos

Milk

Chocolate Sauce

Whip cream

It sounds simple but it tastes amazing. Since it was our first lesson, we were told to get into groups and I paired myself with Gary. The equipment we used was...

A blender

Cup and Straw
When we finished blending the Oreos, I wanted to chug the whole Milkshake but Ms Tuipulotu came out with Whip Cream and Chocolate sauce and made it a whole lot better. After we took the photo we started chugging the Milkshake and it was amazing.  We headed to the bus and shared our drinks and came back to school. This photo on the right is a photo of me and my buddy's Milkshakes. Feel free to leave a comment, thank you for reading. Much love.

Hurricane Irma hits Caribbean

WALT: Reflect on a article in depth
Hurricane Irma has caused widespread destruction across the Caribbean. Irma, a category five hurricane, the highest possible level, hit the area over the last few days. 

More than half of the island’s three million residents were without power as Irma caused heavy downpours and strong winds. I would love to visit the Caribbean but I can't imagine being in a hurricane like that. 

Thank you for reading this reflection  of this devastating news. Feel free to leave a comment. Much love to you all.

Ancestry Poem: Who am I?

WALT:

This is my ancestry poem and it took me 3 weeks to plan and create it. The last paragraph took some time because I had to really think about it but it was worth the wait, I was inspired by the past student of Tamaki and with the help of their poems I came up with this lit poem. I encourage you to make a ancestry poem because during the making of this poem it has really helped me think about how my ancestor made decisions to get me here. Thank you for reading my poem, hope you enjoyed. Much love to you all. Metui

KiwiSport Reflection: T2W7

WALT: count and stay in beat the with song.
This session of Kiwisport we got into our groups and we started to do our choreography. In my group was Alo and Helen, when we started we had some to think about what to do but in the end we got it down. Our dance was routine had...
- Whip
- Hit the Folks
- Janet Jackson
- C walk to the side
- Grape vine
and to finish off we done the dab. I was really proud of my group because the people in it were people I don't usually talk to and in this session we bonded with each other. I was also very surprised at some people because when we all went up to dance they had some real good skill like Timeus, Vuni and Sene.

Thank you so ,much for reading this blogpost about my Hip Hop experience. If you enjoyed reading this reflection please leave a comment. Much love to you all.

Weekend Reflection:T2W6 Part 1

IALT: reflect on past activities in a reflection type of way

Saturday morning I had to chose between two teams and at first I choses to go to my original team but as soon at I got to one of my team mates houses I found that they had already gone. I was sad at first so then I just walked home and I logged into my phone. I got a text from my cousin saying to go to his house so I could go with them to their rugby game. Once I got to his house I knocked on the door and went inside.

It took a while for the couch to come but when we were waiting my favourite part was playing basketball because I keep winning with my 3 pointers. The ride to Ponsonby took a while but when we got there we warmed up and before I knew it the game started. I was nervous at first because they also had big players but with the encouragement of my good friend Toni I played with pride.

Unfortunately we lost but at least I scored a try. After the game we were just calling out to these girl and I even chased after their car onto the road. Back when we went back to Tevita house we had a BB and after that we went to school and played basketball with some people and then I went home and watched Mulan.

Thank you so much for reading this blogpost of my Saturday. Much love to you all.

Police Guinea Pig Mascot dies

WALT: Blog about what we have read in depth.

The New Zealand police’s much-loved guinea pig has died. Constable Elliot was his name and he was the New Zealand police's mascot with his own police uniform like the ones the police wear now. The sad thing is on the article 209 people think that this news is funny and when I saw that I started laughing as well.

It was announced that he had passed on the 21st of August on twitter and to many officers it was a sad and depressing Tweet. I think this is very sad news because Constable Elliot was the mascot for motorist to slow down especially around school zones.

Constable Elliot was based with Wellington police. His saying was " Remember people, the kids are going to be out and about walking and biking and crossing roads.

“Like me they are small and unpredictable so you have to watch out.”

Please leave a comment if you think this is sad news. Thank you all for reading this blogpost about Constable Elliot the Guinea Pig. Much love to you all.
