Netbooks

In MihiMihi, one of our new rooms. I'm testing out to see which laptop the kids at our school are going to have. I'm really happy to see which one of the laptops we're going to choose. We have choices of having Eee PC, MSI Wind, and Classmate. My best choice is having Eee PC. The reason why is that it has a bigger key board and it's lighter for others to carry. The operating system on the computer (Jolly Cloud) is faster and everything runs smoothly, plus the speaker is really loud which is good.

Riley's Birthday At Chipmunks

Ahh! As I yawned. Waking up early at 6am on Saturday was because it was my baby cousin [Riley’s] birthday. The birthday party was held at Chipmunks in Henderson, down the road where we played rugby against Henderson intermediate.
Kick off was at 1 o’clock.

Filled with so much excitement, I had butterfly’s tickling my stomach. Ha ha! I keep on giggling I just can’t help it, I’m to over excited. Arriving there was even more pleasant because I couldn’t wait to go on the popular slide.

Later approximately 5 past 1 everybody arrived then, that’s what usually happens at celebrations. The room was getting more crowded as more family members entered the room. Even some of the adults and parents were trying to look from outside.

Happy Birthday to you x2, we all said ‘Hooray’, when you tried to touch the flame on the candles. Hip hip, hooray x2, we all had a nice meal and all the kids rushed off to play. I straight away went on the slide and reached the top.

‘Quickly’, said my cousin we raced down the slide. Watch out! It was like a snake track too many little kids at corners trying to climb up again. Since their were too many children I went to the jungle and climbed up till I got to this slide. Wow! This slide is the bomb it goes so fast like skate boarding down a steep hill.

This was such a fun day it was really quite a turn out and it was really good to be surrounded by my family again.

My MI Test

This term when we have e-learning we go on the computers we have a opportunity to be able to take our Multiple Intelligence test to see what smart's we are. It shows that I'm mostly music smart and people smart. The smart that was low for me was picture smart. I think that I need to study at home and try my best even when I don't know the answers. I want to at least improve in an area so that I can be proud.

We had 40 questions overall to answer and then finally we got our answers back. Here is my results.

My Amazing business card

To entertain our visitors and to make sure that they want to see more from us. We created a business card so that the visitors can give us feed back and we can show more of our awesome work. The deadline for this project is by today and I tried my best to create it. I finished it on time!

Holidays Aren't So Bad

No! After ending such a fun day of Term 2, I was planning what I was going to do in the 2 week holidays. I'm a person who doesn't like weekends, holidays it's so boring nothing to do at all. I planned to go out bowling and to play with my closes friends, just to keep my happy mood continuing.

So far I've been to ten pin bowling with Victoria and my dad, it was such a blast. We mostly spent time playing 1 and $2 games. My best game was the basket ball game because I got most of my goals in. We quickly rounded up all the tickets we had won from playing all the games, in total we got 197.

Already on Thursday we've gone to Pakuranga, me and Victoria browsed around the store while my sister went shopping. We heard a crowd cheering and I was thinking what is that sound. I headed down with Victoria and saw that people were auditioning for 5 minutes of fame, the acts and performances were so cool.

The winners of the competition was this 12 year old boy Sam[1st place] and a 16 year old girl came 2nd. Both place getters won a Panasonic radio and they'll be in the finals to challenge the others that won.

Then the next day on Friday on the second week of the holidays. Victoria's family and I were going out to go to rainbow's end, but telling by the weather we knew that it wouldn't be happening. All of us were disappointed about it and thought that we can still go out. Instead we went to watch a movie at Hoyts. It was Toy Story 3 in 3D.

It was really cool when we sat down in the cinemas, on the screen it said put your 3D glasses on. In the beginning there was a preview of Avatar, I thought that it really did look real and his eyes really glowed.

My favourite part of Toy story 3 is when Ken tells Barbie how to reverse Buzz lightyear back to his normal self, they tried to do it and instead he starts to speak Mexican.

I had a great time playing and going out in these active events. I had heaps of fun and holidays aren't so bad, now I don't want to go back to school.

Kapa Haka

In most schools they have a Kapa Haka group that performs in front of many live audiences. Our Kapa Haka group is very talented and is very good for beginners. Their first performance started last Friday, I could tell some were timid but they took time and started to open up.

Seeing them walk on the stage with the really cool costumes and creative hair styles, was great to see. I really thought that they stood out as a group and looked like professionals.

During the middle part of their song they started to sing louder and became more confident. Some faces looked happy and some still new to it. I reckon they did really good and started to feel like they wanted to do this again.

Hopefully they will enter a competition and win, because we will be there to support them. But I enjoyed this performance and rate it 9 out of 10, but still think they can reach 10/10.

They were given an opportunity to be able to perform at the Auckland Museum last,last Sunday. Because room 14 at our school won an award for the best stortelling and gave them a chance to perform.

Mt Eden Animation

This term we had to create a Auckland volcanic animation, this was due today. I had fun drawing the stacks and making it detailed. I think I did well with my graphics and that I know more about Mt Eden then before. It was great to see that I was able to finish it on time.

Take a look at my movie!
