Scary Newss

A US woman is terrified of spiders and one has been in her ear. She had noticed that she had a sore ear and went to the doctors to find out what was sore about it. She got the doctors to try and pull the spider out of her ear. If that highly venomous brown recluse spider had bitten her then it would've caused itching, muscle pain, nausea, headaches and sweating. She has said that from now on she's going to sleep with earplugs.

It is important to take responsibility of your own body especially when a spider comes visiting.

KiwiCan 🥰 🙄

Today Room 12 and I had the opportunity to have our first session with Kiwi Can.

 Miss Tuia and Mrs Mac were with us today, and as we know they both work for the KiwiCan company.
Firstly they introduced themselves and explained 5 rules we should benefit from.
They were:
1. Respect others
2. Ask Questions
3. Listen to the speaker
4. Don't be shy give it a try
5. Have fun

They were also talking to us about what these 2 words mean (highlighted in bold down the bottom for you)

Our theme for this term is Integrity = Being honest and strong
Our Topic for this term is Honesty = Being truthful

Next we played 3 different games:
First was = Bang
Second was = Changing Places
Lastly was = GKQ = stands for General Knowledge Questions

I've really enjoyed my first session of KiwiCan and getting to know the 2 tutors that had come today. I hope they had fun with us and keep KiwiCan going at least for a year!

Vector

Last week Room 12 had an electricity lesson with Estah from Vector.

We were discussing how electricity works and other things related to the topic.
 I learnt about a lot of things like:

1. How electricity works,
2. How solar panels work while in the sun,
3. How weather destroys land and how it kills people
and lastly,
4. The different types of energy we have.

I have now have more knowledge about how electricity works.

Tennis 🎾

Last week Tuesday my class went for tennis with coach Pete. Before we started, we chose our partners, my partners were Liza and Konzay. We were learning how to use the racquets and we were also learning how to hit the ball back and forwards. I really had fun and learnt new things for the future purpose.

Armistice Day 🌹

My group and I made a presentation about Armistice Day. I hope you enjoy it.

Tongan Language week ! 🇹🇴

This week for Tongan language week, some of the year 7's and year 8's students in Room 12 brought their own creative, traditional and designed type of clothes. They wondered around some of the classes in our school and they talked about what their clothing was made out of. When I heard them talk about their clothing I learnt what they were made of and where they place them. I hope people everywhere enjoy Tongan language week and try to celebrate it.

Volleyball ! 😭

Yesterday was our last day for volleyball , 😭 we were doing some fun things for our last day. 
We did eliminations between 2 teams, a tournament between 4 teams, and last we did boy vs girls. It was fun and exciting for me because I had a turn to spike the ball at other people and I got to serve the ball over the net to the other team. I really had a fun day yesterday with Coach Rennae, I hope we see her in the future.❤

Poetry Recital

Two weeks ago, was Poetry Recital, the 5 students from my room that were performing was Jessica, Tupouseini, Tyron, Leanah and Saluselo. 

They were actually good, they spoke clearly and loudly, they stood up still, they had good expression and they were looking at the audience so it looked like they are communicating with each other. I actually thought they were the best out of the school but everyone else tried their best.

Skipping Practising !!

For skipping practise I am in a group with Julianne, Ana, Joanlisi, Liza, Alexandra, Vika, Pupuke, Malia and also Leanah. I've been practising my part which is the push ups with the long rope, I can do about over 20 now but my other part of skipping is with Alexandra. We have to hold each others rope and we have to skip 5 times forward as well as 5 times backward. We also have some other students in our group doing double launders in the long rope, but I hope our display will entertain those watching.

Making Quiches with Mrs Tuipolotu

On Wednesday at Tech I made Quiches with Mrs Tuipoloto and my partner Lini from St Pius x. Our first instruction was to get all our equipment from our own kitchen so we did.

Then, we put all our ingredients in a bowl which were, eggs, milk, cheese, ham and pastry. We all followed Mrs Tuipolotu instructions on how to make it. After, we had to put it in the oven and let it bake for 15 mins. When it was baked I enjoyed eating it at home with the rest of my family.

Thank you Mrs Tuipolotu💕

Hip Hop 2018

On Tuesday, Room 12 were with Jess, our Hip Hop dance teacher. I was so excited we were doing hip hop because it is one of my favourite things to do.

We were doing some really difficult stretches but at least I was warm. After that we were all warmed up, we had to learn some new moves to the song Lean and Dab by ILoveMemphis. At first it was really hard but when I kept on practising, it started to get easier.

I really enjoyed our session with Jess and I hope we stay with her longer.

Going to the River talks

Yesterday we went to the River talks and I learned something new. I learned that if we chuck or leave rubbish in our community or properties then the river will get dirty and that will not be helpful. 

We also learned about plants, how they grow and how they live in nature, also arts. When you put rubbish in the river it becomes dirty. 

Now coming to the best thing that Iv'e seen is the Cook Island dance. It was my favourite part because they showed confidence, respect, and did their best. 

I hope you enjoy the river when you go to Pt. England reserve.

Room 10 Syndicate Assembly

On Monday the 26th of February, Room 10 hosted a syndicate assembly. We listened to some students speak aloud in front of us which was quite boring because they were talking about notices, handing out certificates and other stuff. After that they had a dance battle competition which was my favourite part because the contestants were funny and I love to dance.

At first it was two students from Room 10 and two from Room 9, they were dancing to kriss kross which was pretty funny because Elemoni was doing silly dances. It was time for the teachers to vote and Room 10 won round 1.

After a while Room 10 students, and Room 12 students were dancing to Pump It. It made me laugh a lot because of Pupuke and Elemoni. They were making me laugh because they were doing cowboy dances. After round 2 the teachers voted. After the votes were counted up it turned out that Room 10 had won the competition, because their dances had earned most of the votes from the teachers.
