Tawa @ Ngatea Primary School

My three favourite experiences of the term was PE Listening to music because I was in Tuakana Reading War Horse  This term I've learned heaps of things about clean water because I've been doing it for my IE. Something I would change is to have more PE. My goal for next term is to do all of my milestones.

I made my own pet fish and his name is Magulbob and he has that name from when he was swimming in the ocean and he went up to the surface and a lighting bolt almost hit him and he said some crazy stuff around his friends with his Aussie accent and he said magulbob in stead of lighting bolt.

My favourite part about volley ball was the games and we played one each time we went, then on the last day we had a tournament to find the the winning team and we won 4/7 games. I was good at setting, digging and serving, in my team was Brooke, Ryan, Mishca, Hayley, Josh M, Samantha, Caitlyn and Me. From the start I learnt how to do all the skills pretty fast and I got really good at them during the end. I got the most outstanding boy award out of our team. My coaches were Cora-lee, Aiden and Zoe they were really good helpers.

This week I've done one Mangahigh task and I have one more blog post to complete. I've done my word of the week yesterday at art and my design was Puhoro, I have done one read theory task so I just need to do one more. We had volley ball on Tuesday and we have one session today at the college, we played a game against another team and we won by heaps so our team must be pretty good. I finished all my summarising on my IE so i'm ahead of time and the learning power I used the most this week was Being me, I didn't sit to all my friends at every block.

I was on kiwi kids news and I saw a title saying Call to change New Zealand national bird and the photo was another bird. A seabird conservation group are saying that our national bird should a bird that can actually fly to replace our kiwi. Apparently the kiwi doesn't represent the adventurous travellers New Zealanders are. Having a seabird apparently is more representative of who we are and stuff like that, but I think it’s dumb because we been called kiwis since world war 1 and that’s 100 years ago so it's going to take a long time getting used to. My opinion: I don’t want to be called a Rako or a Buller's shearwater. If it changes I won’t call myself a Rako. We should have a vote like the what we did with the New Zealand flag.

I think that we should do more paperwork because at college we do a lot of writing with pens and my handwriting is not very good. It is necessary because lots of tests and homework at college you need to be good at writing and spelling.Computers fix your spelling mistakes so how can you get better and the more we don’t do paperwork the worse we get at handwriting. Another example is if you have an elder grandparent or something like that you want to send them a letter need to write nicely so they can read it and they probably won’t have a computer or phone to get an email or a text message.   I think that I should do some sort of handwriting everyday because that will help me get better at handwriting, I think that it would make you draw better as well, my hands aren't that steady so it doesn't help. We need more handwriting because it might affect others in the future, we might have no handwriting by then or we might and if we do I don’t think that many people wil...

This week I was showing connecting when the Moana Nui kids came into our class and we had to do work with them and do some fun activities.  I done everything this week but not my Mangahigh because I didn't get any tasks for some reasons and I did 3 blog posts and I done two of my IE questions.

Yesterday the Moana Nui kids to our class for the day because there teachers went to a school visit I think, and we did some fun activities with them and some of the work they need to do everyday. The first thing we did was create a avatar for them and me and jonty had Desmond and he made his avatar then when we finished Desmond had to do some writing and we just helped him a little bit with his spelling and some punctuation. After morning tea we did reading with their reading groups then we had to do maths and we played a little game where I was holding cards that had maths problems on them then out of Micheal and Desmond the first one to answer it got the point and Desmond won only just by 4 points. Then we had to create a superhero online or offline and we did ours online. After that we went into the hall with everyone and did some jump jam and it was quite fu  but at the same time it was quite tiring. After lunch we had to use the superhero we made and do a character des...

He is wearing a black under layer and white accessories and armor, with the rolly on his wrist. He has a light skin tone and has blue eye protectors with black hair. His name it Prince Wigglebutt and his special power is to wiggle his butt really fast, and at all of his birthday partys he has a butt wiggle contest and he is the undefeated champion and won everytime, and if a villain is doing something bad he scares them away but wiggling his butt really fast. If he has a fight he uses his big muscles in his butt to knock them out real quick, he once got a contract to fight in the UWBC (Ultimate Butt Wiggling Championship) and he accepted it and became the world champion within months.
