My Holidays In RotoVegas

2012-02-03T12:38:00.001+13:00

In the holidays, I went to my home town in Rotorua. It’s my home town because all my family lives down there and I was born there. I call it, Rotovegas.

In Rotorua, I went to a beach called Pukehina. Their mussels are big as. So we went diving and then found some mussels and pipis to take home with us. When I got home, I cooked them on the barbecue, with the help of my dad.

The next day, we went to Querty falls to jump off the jetty. It was 6 meters deep. My sister was scared because there was a lot of trout, eel, and other fish in the lake. But I wasn’t scared I just jumped.

It was the end of the holidays and back to school for me. But at least I had fun in the holidays.

NO GOING BACK!

2011-12-14T09:25:00.003+13:00

Could you ever imagine what life would be like without a net-book? It would be torture. However there are uppers and downers to being a Net-Booker.

The things I like about our net-books are: taking them home in the weekdays, weekends and holidays. You can learn at home and don’t have to at school all the time .

The other thing is, it’s better to have our net-book to post things on our blog, unlike last year when you had to wait for ages, on the iMacs. So those are the upper sides of having a net-book. But there are some downers.

Now for the bad downers. First of all, the Internet connection. Most of the time it is working, but sometimes, it’s not. It is just like having a pen and paper when Internet isn’t on. I mean, when you don’t have connection, you can’t show anyone your work. So that’s a big downer.

I would never go back to just a pencil and paper. I’d rather stay with the our net-books.
THE END.

"Senior Prize Giving"

2011-12-09T10:22:00.002+13:00

It was the end of the year and there was prize giving. I was so excited about the dance that team four had to do. My teams song was Beat It by Michael Jackson. I was so nervous with my mum watching. So I just gave 100%. At the end of our performance, I just smiled at my family and walked off the stage. It was a cool as dance. Even though I didn't win an award, I still had fun doing my team item.

Outta This World

2011-12-08T10:26:00.004+13:00

There is too much pollution in the year 2167 and everyone has to leave Earth and start fresh on a new planet. Check out my movie

Thank You Mrs Clarke

2011-12-02T14:31:00.001+13:00

Dear Mrs Clarke,

I thank you for teaching us C.R.E for these past years. I also thank you for giving up your own time. I hope you can teach team four next year, just as amazing as you did for us. So in many different ways, I thank you.

The best lesson when you were here, was the the last one, the Christmas one. When you pulled out the chocolate. I hope I was going to get one. But it was alright. Thank anyway for that lesson.

Love lots from Gabriel.

Athletics Day

2011-11-25T10:51:00.001+13:00

My favorite thing of the year. Athletics. There was one thing and one thing only that I was looking forward to doing. High Jump. Because since 2009 I either came first or second, but this year was different. I didn't come anything. But it was alright. At least I had fun.

An Extraordinary Concert Night!

2011-11-22T09:46:00.001+13:00

Stand By Me

On the final night of Camp Bentzon, was our concert night. What a way to kick it off with Marvin’s dad Rodney singing Stand By Me and Mary Had A Little Lamb. I knew this was going to be fun night.

Now for our item. We done a mockumentary about the teachers. I was playing Mr Barks doing a Mr Bean Dance. But the funniest was Tui as Mrs Va’afusuanga. Everyone was laughing hard.

At the end of the night, everyone was at the edge of their seat. Waiting to here the final scores from the judges. Then they announced 4th and 3rd place. It was down to Bentzon and Kawau (my team.) Mrs Flavelle then said.... “The winner of 2011 Camp Bentzon..... KAWAU!!

Tennis Coaching

2011-11-03T11:05:00.000+13:00

When I heard that room 17 was going to have tennis coaching, I thought to myself tennis, my least favourite sport. I don't even watch it on TV. I hate tennis.

Our tennis coach was named Marcel. He was a professional player and teaches other schools, well of course, tennis. If I had to pick my coach, I would pick him instead of any one else, because he was a kind coach. Now the tennis coaching was under way.

How to hold the racket is the main thing with tennis, because if you can't hold it right, you can't do the shots properly. It was kind of frustrating for me but then, I got the hang of it. About 5 minutes after we learnt how to hold the ball, I was really good.

King and queen ball was the game we played. It was kind of like playing handball but your using a racket, and you have to hit the ball over a net. I was king once but then, Marvin got me out. Can you believe that? Only one round as king. I wasen't even good. Not fair that people are picking on me.

Even though I didn't really like tennis at the start of coaching, when you actually play it, It's pretty cool. Just one week in and now I just can't wait until Thursdays. Tennis is a cool sport, if you know how to play it.

Ice Cream Comet

2011-11-03T10:50:00.000+13:00

Comets, did you know you could eat them?(Only ice cream ones though.) When I found out room 17 and 16 were going to make comets out of ice cream, biscuits and hundreds and thousands, I was very excited and couldn’t wait for the time to come.

“Out of my way I shouted to people.” I was dashing to the picnic table with a whole clump of ice cream in my hands. It felt like my hands were -5 degrees with that ice cream. But when the hundred and thousands came on, it was a bit warmer.

After all that coldness, my favourite time came. Eating the comets. The vanilla flavoured comet landed straight into my watering mouth. Lick after lick. The delicious treat for me was an early Halloween gift. Yummy.

As soon as we had eaten, we looked over all the mess Mr Somerville had made. IT WAS A PIG STY! There was heaps and heaps of food gone to waste. Hundreds of hundreds and thousands. Humongous amount of biscuits left on the floor and ice cream cones in the bin.

Finally the chaos was over. We all had a nice treat from Mr Somerville and Miss Garden. I hope we could do this again but make something that won’t melt, may be a spaceship. You never know.

Willow Park Camp

2011-10-27T10:02:00.000+13:00

The time had come to go to the riverside camp, Willow Park. I would have preferred Tortara Springs though. But any camp is exciting for me.

It was now the second day. We got given options, they were tennis, mini-golf or riding on the quad bikes. But I decided to play mini-golf with Waata. He was up for the challenge and said to me, “bring it on.”

It was hole fifteen, the final hole. We were tied up at 7 all. I swung the putter back and hit the ball up the the hill. Almost had a hole in one, but the ball just went right. Waata missed his shot. Then I just tapped the ball into the hole. I am the winner.

Performance night was the best night at Willow Park. Every group had to perform for the judges. For our performance, we done the National Anthem and the Haka. But the funniest one was peanut butter jelly time done by Ahsin’s group. That was a cool night.

After camp, I thought to my-self. Even though we didn’t go to Tortara Springs, I still had a good time.

Countries I am Focusing On

2011-10-07T12:21:00.000+13:00

The Countries I chose for my country research was Canada and Fiji. This is my movie. I hope you enjoy.

Manly Beat Warriors In A Thriller Grand Final

2011-10-04T10:28:00.000+13:00

THE VODAFONE WARRIORS

MANLY WARRINGTON SEA EAGLES

It all came down to this, the 2011 grand final where the Vodafone Warriors take on Manly Warrington Sea Eagles. I was anxious for the match to start. Then the hooter went. Kick off time.

Big hits were the best things I saw in the match. Warriors Five-eight James Maloney done two hits and Warriors center Krisnan Inu done 2 hits. In some hits, blood spilled from the faces and onto the field which needed stitches.

Thirty minutes into the game and no one had scored, until Manly struck the line. Brett 'The Snake' Stewart had gone in for the opening try. Which made the score 4-2 after James Maloney's Penalty goal. But the score was in favor of Manly

In the shadows of full time, it wasn't good. Manly's captain Jamie Lyon scored then got the conversion. That made the 26-16

Even though Warriors lost, it was still a good to experience a grand final match. They didn't lose by much. Only by 10 points.

2011-09-14T08:56:00.001+12:00

Pool A has another good NZ match ahead. Going up against Japan. This will be held at Waikato Stadium, in Hamilton. The Referee for this match will be Nigel Owens. I predict the score for this match is going to 64-7 in favour of NZ.

The Rugby World Cup Is Back!!

2011-09-08T09:27:00.001+12:00

24 years ago from tomorrow, was the best year for the All Blacks. They won the RWC. Now it starts again on September 9th. For the opening, there will be the Haka and the Tongan chant at Eden Park, Auckland. But I know the All Blacks will prevail 36-12. That is my prediction for the score. They will win the World Cup. The AB's will win because they have the best players in the world like Sonny-Bill, Ma'a Nonu, best Captain Richie McCaw, Dan Carter plus many more. No holding back!

Running For My Life Cartoon

2011-09-05T10:17:00.004+12:00

In our reading group, I have been reading a book called When I Grow Up by Barbara Berge.

We had to choose a cartoon to draw out of three options. They were Running for my life (that's the one I done), Prise my fingers off or Legs turning into jelly. I picked the easiest one.

Gabriel Haka

2011-08-31T12:32:00.005+12:00

For our hyperstudio stack, we had to put together a movie about New Zealand doing the haka. This is my movie. I hope you enjoy.

2011-08-29T10:44:00.001+12:00

This is a presentation that I done about caring about a baby bird. I hope you like it.

RWC NZ

2011-08-08T09:42:00.003+12:00

Just like my Ireland page, I done another presentation but I just chose it myself. This one is for NZ. My own country. I believe they will win the 2011 RWC. They have got heaps of star players like Richie McCaw, Dan Carter and many more. I have got the fixtures and the team, plus captain Richie McCaw. Click on this link to go to the page.

RWC Ireland!!!!

2011-08-08T09:11:00.007+12:00

Around Auckland, schools like ours get a team in the RWC (Rugby World Cup). We got Ireland. So I done a two page presentation which would make me support Ireland even more. The fixtures (right) and the team (below). To find out more about Ireland, click on this link to the site.

Rugby World Cup Keep Your Eye On The Ball

2011-08-04T09:25:00.005+12:00

I believe that holding the RWC (Rugby World Cup) in NZ is a good idea because the money we get will probably go towards rebuilding Christchurch. Also, we can we can build houses for the poor and give them food.

The All Blacks will win if the put heart into what they need to do and train hard. This all leads to winning the William Webb Ellis Cup (the trophy) or in other words Keep Your Eye On The Ball

Gabriel We Need A Make Over

2011-07-12T09:21:00.004+12:00

As our school expands with over 500 children, we have less play area. Room 17 has a solution. We’ve surveyed children from room 16-18 about what they would like for them to play in room 17’s courtyard. A courtyard make over is what we need. We even have evidence that not many people play in this un-enticing area.

During this term, we have had fields closed. So now we have crowded conditions in the breeze, on the court and in the new senior block. With all the crowded conditions, the juniors are fearful of the seniors. I just wish that the the fields were open again so it’s less crowded.

Our courtyard is also ugly. Just plain ugly. It has a big ugly ditch right in the middle, which blocks us playing on the court. That’s not all. The walls are also dirty and everyone sticks their hand prints on them. It looks ugly.

Finally, with-out having to accessing the fields, we need more places to play. We are all squashed on a tiny little courtyard and the breeze. With this little courtyard, it just feels like a waste of space. So we need to get this courtyard done. With this space, no one will be all crammed in one space.

All I want is for our courtyard to get a makeover so more kids can play in different areas.

The blue highlighting is for our vocabulary and phrases that we had to put in the story and the red is the paragraph he marked.This is the rubric that my class mate Crusader marked.

On The Trail

2011-07-07T10:57:00.002+12:00

This is the track that I drew from On The Trail. I hope you like it.

Partly Cloudy

2011-06-17T10:13:00.003+12:00

The main characters in the story were Mr Atmosphere and the Stalk.
This was set high in the sky.
This Story starts when stalks deliver babies and pets to houses.Mr Atmosphere was trying to make babies but in stead he made a crocodile and a hedgehog. Plus many more things. Mr Atmosphere thought that Stalk was going to another cloud, but instead, he went to go get armor. The armor was football gear. Shoulder pads, a helmet and gloves. Then they laughed and laughed. Mr Atmosphere tried to make one more thing but......... He made a electric eel. They lived up in the sky forever.

Extreme Makeover Courtyard Edition.

2011-06-14T11:51:00.006+12:00

Darius and I were thinking about redesigning our courtyard. This is what we wrote.

Why I chose basketball hoops?
I chose basketball hoop so then we can have more and more fun in the courts. The court is just not fun because there is nothing to do. We can even have comps.

I want basketball hoops in our courts to play in the summer and maybe in the winter.

The things that I found like the prices were....... for the ones bolted into the wall were only $59.00 each. They aren't to much money and then not too little.

Me and Darius chose picnic tables as well as a basketball hoops. We chose picnic tables because when we sit on the deck, it hurts my bum. So if we eat on picnic tables, then we can eat better.

This is our design. (Above)

Podcasting Zapped In Space.

2011-06-08T12:29:00.004+12:00

Stay Tuned, there is a podcast that is coming up soon with this animation. This is a sneak peak from the book. And this is the two headed alien that I drew. I hope you enjoy the movie.

2011-06-03T14:14:00.001+12:00

Since the first week of the term, we studied about the Samoan artist named Fatu Feu’u. He just doesn’t do his art-work for fun, he does it for culture. He does many patterns and motifs. It has just been really cool studying about his work. This is the thing that I wrote of him. Where he was from, what village and all that. To go along side it, I put a picture here.

Artist: Fatu Feuu
Tala Lasi Samoa-Painter of Tales

Born: 1946 Samoa

Village: Poutasi Falealili, Savai'i

Fatu Feu'u was born in the village of Poutasi Felealii on the island of Savai'i in Samoa. He was educated at Apia's Samoa collage, he emigrated to New Zealand in 1966 in order to study art. Fatu is a role model and mentor for other Pacific artists in New Zealand and the Pacific.

Fatu has transformed traditional design motifs intor in his paintings, prints and sculptures into fresh meanings: tatau, siapo, ufimata, lalaga and gog - tattoo, barkcloth, masks, weaving, and the figrate bird.His visual presentations reflect his passion and spiritual understandings of Samoan legends and fa'asamoa of Samoan Culture.

Bravery Heart-Break Loss and Hope

2011-06-01T14:58:00.004+12:00

Did you ever wonder what it would be like for the women who had to stay back in NZ while the NZ and Australia men went to war. It would have been really sad. This is a little movie that our group done. I hope you enjoy.

Brave men AND women from SchoolTV on Vimeo. That was our movie that we filmed. I hope now you think about the past was our NZ and Australia men sacrefised their lives to defend our land.

Octopodi Part 2.

2011-06-01T09:36:00.003+12:00

Octopodi is a short animation that you can watch on youtube. This is the second and third scene for octopodi.

Pinky, (that’s what I named the pink octopus) shoots from the the slingshot over the seagull. She notices that she has got too much strength while she was flying. So she turned around and splattered ink into the seagulls face and lands into a pond. The seagull drops Orangey, (the orange octopus) and he lands onto the dangerous road. Pinky cries but...........

She doesn't give up. Trying to reach out when..... The chef grabbed Pinky and takes off. Stuck out in the open, Orangey climbs onto the nearest car and tries to catch up with the chef. The chef stops at his restaurant and goes into the kitchen. Orangey jumps off his ride and goes into the kitchen. Strapped up, Pinky sees Orangey and tries to get out, but she can’t. Orangey gets a knife and cuts the straps. They jump out the window and into the reef and live Happily Ever After.

Redesigning My Computer Mouse

2011-05-26T09:42:00.003+12:00

This morning we had to use BAR (Bigger, Add, Replace) to redesign our mouses. I did a Spongbob mouse. I made the whole thing bigger. Just by a little bit. Added 3 mini speakers and replaced the clicking bits with Spongebob’s eyes. That was my mouse.

I made it bigger because some mouses that I use are just too small for my hand. But with this mouse, it will be just right. I replaced the Spongebob eyes with the clicking bits because those were just old. With the eyes of Spongebob, they are more detailed. I added the mini speakers because it is just too quiet from out of my net-book. But with the speakers, shared lunch and special places will never be quiet. So I would buy this mouse if it were real.

Marble Track Challenge 2

2011-05-24T10:29:00.006+12:00

Planning:
First Darius will roll up 4 newspaper tubes with 2 stands. Then Starford will divide the cello-tape 9 pieces. I will be cutting holes, for the marble to travel through 4 holes.

What we did:
Our plan was to make the tubes on an ngle, but it didn’t quite work out. We tested it out and then the marble came out a hole that we didn’t even make. It was quite frustrating. In the end, we figured out where the hole was. It was right at the end of the first tube. So then we covered it up.

2011-05-23T12:02:00.003+12:00

Yah! Term 2 is swimming term. I was so eager to go swimming this term, and show off all my skills. Even though it’s the least favourite sport for me, it still cool splashing around with my class mates.

With goosebumps traveling down my neck, I immediately jumped into the pool to get warm. I stayed under the water for about 20 seconds, getting Warmer by the moment. Then when my lungs could take no more, I came up gasping for air.

Para 3: Freestyle

I was the second person to take off at freestyle. Logan was in front of me just gliding through the water easily. I thought this was going to be easy, but it was struggling. Floppy arms and legs all over. That’s why I was struggling.

Para 4: Exhaustion at swimming.

Only at half-way, I was exhausted from swimming. I knew that stopping would mean that I a wimp at swimming so, I pushed my self to the limit. With my never say die attitude, I made it the whole length with-out stopping. That was exhausting.

Conclusion:
I think this swimming lesson has been the best for me. I learnt the different techniques to swim better and faster.

Easter Holidays

2011-05-03T09:56:00.006+12:00

Do you like West Wave? West wave is where I went to with my family in the Easter holiday. Wave pools, hydro-slides, spa pools and bombing pools. That place is wicked! It was my turn up. The person if front of me just jumped off the platform. As I thought to myself this is going to be easy, but then I walked forward. I looked down and saw I was way high. I tried to turn back but, my brother blocked me off. So the only way down, was to jump.

I was so excited to go to west wave. Easter holidays are all ways boring for me except for this year. My family were going to West Wave.

Gabriel First Highlight of Term 1

2011-04-15T10:49:00.005+12:00

Camp was my first term highlight. I was the camp leader for the Responsible Rockers. That was my group name. Everything at camp was challenging. Swimming for the whole day at swimarama. Setting up our tents, the smoke from camp cooking, the strength for Kayaking and 2 hours of skating. But when it came up to Camp Concert, that was the most challenging of all. For our performance, we done some robot moves with a little bit of Tectonic. The next day on my birthday, we went to the YMCA in Pammure. I hope next term can be less struggling like this term. If it will be then I will be ready.

Art Space

2011-04-08T12:20:00.002+12:00

I drew a flag that says Respect. I did that because I respects my school and my culture. First we sketched the out-line and then we coloured it with pastel. I used pink, grey, and green brown and yellow colours. After the pastel we went straight onto painting. Painting was the fun bit. I painted my painting red on the out-side and that was my flag.

Have You Seen This Cat?

2011-03-31T10:43:00.003+13:00

Last Seen Outside our new house. SO PLEASE RETURN. I really want him back.

Japan Triple Disaster

2011-03-15T11:53:00.002+13:00

What happened to Japan? I was watching 3 news when I heard about their immeasurable disaster that happened off the coast of Japan. There was a 8.9 earthquake, a Tsunami which engulfed the city with water and worst of all, their nuclear power plant erupted in fire.

The earthquake struck off the coast of Japan but didn’t do much damage to the houses because the houses in Japan are earthquakes proof cause they all was have them. Even though the earthquake was a 8.9 magnitude, it was no matter for the houses.

The earthquake was nothing until the massive Tsunami came and hit the town. An unexpected tsunami hit straight after the 8.9 magnitude. it washed the buildings away from in their place and engulfed the city with water.

But that wasn’t all. Their nuclear power plant exploded and set some of the coast on fire. It wasn’t just a double dustier, it was a triple disaster. It even burned inside the sea water. This was bad.

I hope that the coast of Japan can get help and rebuild the city so everyone can be safe in their lovely new homes. The End

Cricket

2011-03-09T09:58:00.005+13:00

YES We have cricket training! Every Thursday after morning tea, room 17 have cricket training with some people from NZC. (New Zealand Cricket) called Hamit and Robin.

One of the shots that we learnt was the front foot drive. To do this shot, you have to place your foot right beside the ball then swing through with your bat. If you are right handed your left foot goes beside the ball, but if your left handed do the whole thing vice-versa.

After we finished learning that shot, we played a game where you had to hit the ball in the front foot drive off some tees and through these cones. It was embarrassing for me because I didn’t hit it between them. Hamit came to show me how it was done right. Once I got that right, I was smashing it down past the goal post.

I wish the NZC could stay at our school and teach us heaps more about cricket, but eventually they will have to go. That will be sad. The End.

Smackdown Vs Raw 2010

2011-03-04T10:28:00.008+13:00

In the weekend when me my brother and my mum were cleaning out our wardrobe, I found this game called Smackdown vs Raw 2010. So as soon as we were finished our wardrobe , we went straight onto the playstation 2.

I was a wrestler called Randy Ortan and my brother was John Cena. As soon as we knew it, I won the match by chucking my brother off the Hell In The Cell. Just because that he wanted a rematch, so I gave him one. I won again.

The Seed

2011-02-22T10:54:00.002+13:00

One day from out of the sky dropped one seed right in the middle of the chafer and scarab beetles boundary. So no one could claim the seed was theirs. So then the two kings decided, " we would have to have war then." So the two tribes prepared for war for 3 years straight. But what they did not realise was when they were preparing for war, the seed grew into a cherry tree and spread over both tribes lands. So from then on, both tribes lived happily ever after and shared the cherry tree which grew right on their boundary. The End.

First Post

2011-02-09T14:37:00.012+13:00

In the holidays me and my sister went to this holiday programme called Youth Pride, which was held at Sacred Heart Collage.

When we went for the first time, it was kind of embarrassing because we hardly knew anyone apart from the people from Pt England and the people that lived on my street. After we went for about two weeks we knew mostly everyone there.

The main reason why we went to Youth Pride was because we wanted to win a trophy, but we had to compete against 6 other Youth pride schools. We had to travel by bus all the way to Western Springs near Motat where the big dance off was held. We were the first group to dance and it was a magnificent dance. At the end of our dance, the crowd rumbled and cheered.

Going first really paid off because at the end of the whole thing, we came first and won the trophy. It was hard work because the judges could not decide who to pick, so we had to have a dance off against One Tree Hill. But we still turned up on the top.

The End

West Tigers

2010-11-15T09:41:00.006+13:00

NRL (National Rugby League) is made of many teams but my favorite team is The West Tigers. They have many talented players like Benji Marshall (left), captain Robbie Farrah (above), Lote Tuqiri, Chris Heighington, Chris Lawrence and many more. The West Tigers have only 1 grand final and that was 2005 when they beat the North Queensland Cowboys. This year, the Tigers made it in the finals but they got knocked out by the Gold Coast Titans. May be next year they will win the grand final like in 2005.

The End

NRL Grand Final

2010-10-12T09:38:00.009+13:00

NRL (National Rugby League) has been continuing from 1908 and it is now 2010. Can you believe that! The Grand Finals are what I am talking about. I reckon the best grand final I saw was probably Canberra Raiders vs Balmain Tigers. Canberra won that. This year's one was a pretty good one when the Sydney Roosters went head to head with the St. George Illawara Dragons. If Roosters won that, they would be the second ever team to go from last all the way into first place. Sadly the Dragons won. The Dragons were first on the top for the whole season. So it was no doubt that the Dragons were going to win. But amazingly the Roosters scored the first tries. Making it eight points to nil at half-time. At the end of the game Dragons pulled out the victory making it thirty-two points to eight. They were 2010’s Premiership Winners. There is always next year for NRL. Who will win it? You will just have to watch it. P.S GO THE TIGERS!!!!!!!!

Immersion Assembly Term 4

2010-10-11T10:51:00.004+13:00

“I wonder what the new topic is?” I thought as I went to bed on the last night on the holidays. I was really desperate to find it out.. So when I got to school me and my brother saw alot of teachers dressed up as bumble-bees. “Hmmm, that’s interesting” my brother said. As soon as I got into the hall I saw the heading was Little Critters. “Cool” I said in amazement

Team 1 were the first to go up onto the stage. They had one of the two funniest acts. Mrs George (Leader of team 1) had a spider man mask on. They done a few poems like Insy Winsy spider and Little Miss Muff. While they were doing Insy Winsy and little Miss Mufff Miss Wild was squirting Mrs George with a water gun. As for Little Miss Muff, the spider sat on her shoulder and she ran away screaming.

The 2nd funniest act for me was team 4’s item. (The Bee Colony.) Mr Barks was the Queen Bee, and he is a man. That’s weird. He should of been a worker or something. Miss Squires (my teacher) was a worker, feeding the Queen Bee jelly. Straight after that the Queen had a baby. Then he was hot so the workers cooled him down. Next the Queen laided twins. The bee was hungry again. So the worker fed her some more jelly. And again she had another baby. So that is 4 in total.

I think this topic is going to be an exciting term with alot of bugs because I like bugs and insects. By Gabriel.

Term 1's work.

Christchurch Earthquake

2010-09-09T09:49:00.004+12:00

At 4am Saturday morning, a devastating earthquake unexpectedly hit Christchurch when everyone was in bed asleep. People awoke to some tilted buildings and massive cracks in the ground, with rubble, bricks and glass shattered all over the city.

The extensive damage that happened in the earthquake were houses crumbled, tilted buildings and much more bad things. Roads were littered with bricks and glass that filled the cracks. But luckily Christchurch had some earthquake buildings so all of the buildings won't completely collapse.

Even after the earthquake, there were still dangers going around the city like the aftershocks. Potential diseases are lurking around the city, dangerous to the people due to the sewers blowing there tops and mixing with water, contaminating it.

Christchurch is a nice place and I hope that they are alright after that earthquake that unexpectedly hit. I feel really sad for the people there. I hope no one gets diseases as well. I hope you are alright Christchurch.

Randy Orton

2010-08-10T09:33:00.007+12:00

The Viper strikes. The Legend Killer or The Viper A.K.A Randy Orton was one of the youngest wrestlers to win any championship like the World Heavyweight Champion or WWE Championship. Randy Orton has won multiple championships like the World Heavyweight Champion, WWE Championship and the World Tag Team championship with former partner the Rated-R Superstar Edge.

When Orton came to WWE he joined a group called Evolution with Triple H, Ric Flair, Batista and himself. Randy Orton was a bad person but now he is a good person and my sister wishes he was her husband along with Jarryd Hayne.

In the start of 2009 he started a group called Legacy. His team was the million dollar son Ted Dibiase and third generation superstar Cody Rhodes. When he was with them he actually won the 2009 Royal Rumble (just because he had help.) His Signature move is the RKO.

Thats all about Randy Orton.

Having to draw Mrs Tele'a wierd!!!!!!

2010-08-09T14:11:00.007+12:00

As our topic for this term we have been very busy finding out about the different angles we can use to find out the shape of a map. The extension kids have been assigned to do a project that is all about maps and Scales. So far we have learnt about the different ways the satellites mind thinks of it's shape and colour. Back to the topic well Mrs Tele'a had said that we had to draw her not because she just wanted to but because she wanted us to know what different angles were like to draw. She wanted us to know how it would be like to be sort of like a satellite

Josh Dugan

2010-08-09T09:28:00.004+12:00

Josh Dugan is one of my favourite fullbacks because of his tremendous speed,agility and power that he has to get over a try line. I like his determination and courage for his team and my best future team the Canberra Raiders. He also plays for the country team which includes good players such as Luke Burt. He was also one of the best U20 players that I have ever seen play.

Josh has a way that just gets him over the line and makes tackle busts and also makes line breaks. I like the way he plays even though the Raiders aren't in the top eight they are still playing good footy. He is a really determined player that I would love to have on my team if I was the coach for the Raiders. He should play in the QLD(Queensland)team which are made up of the best players. Or play for NSW(New South Wales). Well either one even if he does not play for Queenslandor New South or any of them he will still be one of the best fullbacks

Our Trip To Maritime Museum

2010-08-03T09:32:00.010+12:00

Mighty Mariners is our topic for this term and for our trip room 15, 18, and 14 went to Maritime Museum. First we traveled on a public bus. It was a long and boring trip especially when we had to leave last but it was all worth it. When we got there it looked pretty cool. Then we stored our bags in a room. We hoped in a line then met Salty Sam. (He was boring). "Blah blah blah" he was rambling but I didn't hear him because I was playing with Kingston. Then he guided us on a quick tour around the museum. When we finished our tour, Salty Sam told us to salute with our right hand so we did.

"Ding ding ding". Suddenly a bell rung. "What is that?" everyone asked. "Get ready for the cannon" Salty Sam yelled. "YOAH a cannon"everyone yelled. "5,4,3,2,1, Boom.'' With a count down the cannon exploded like we were in a war.

Next we met Judy. After Judy was talking she to us we went into a circular little movie theatre. The sign said the doors will automatically close in every 15 minutes. Miss Sqiures didn't see the sign and she almost got locked out but in the nick of time she scuttled in before it closed. Miss Squires didn't know that when the doors were shut you could just open them. We watched the movie and it was about the Polynesians coming to Aotearoa on a waka and what helped to guide them on the sea. The whales, birds, stars and the waves all guided them.
After the movie Judy took us on another tour and asked questions about the movie. "This is boring" I thought."My legs are aching and my calf muscles are sore. Luckily we had lunch. Miss Squires said that the wind had picked up so we wouldn't be going onto the Ted Ashby (that was the museums boat) because it only had on engine and the wind was strong as a giant blowing the whole city. So Miss said we would go on a Ferry to Devonport and back. At the station we got on the Ferry and we were having so so so so much fun on the boat! When we arrived, Raenan and I were saying hi to everyone that came on board. Then we just came back.

I had so much fun today and I hope my family and I can come back.

THE END.

Youngsters of NRL

2010-08-02T14:24:00.003+12:00

When I made a Current dream team I thought ''why make a dream team when you can make youngsters of the NRL”. So check it out. Fullback Kevin Locke, wingers are Daniel Vidot and Jhral Yow-Yeh. Centres are Suitonga Likiliki and Lewis Brown. Halves are Robert Lui and Benji Marshall. Props are Russell Packer and Jesse Royal and Matt Ballin as Hooker. Second Rows are Jamal Idris and Ukuma Ta’ai . Lock Jared Waiwera-Hargraves. Bench is Antonio Winterstein,Corey Norman, Ben Matulino and Ben Te’o. Thats all from me and my Youngsters of NRL. I hope you comment on it.

Warriors vs Titans

2010-08-02T08:56:00.007+12:00

Warriors vs Titans was an EXHILARATING game with all the excitement going around in the fans head. The Vodafone Warriors were winning then losing to the Gold Coast Titans 20 points - 28. Me and my family went to the Warriors match and my brother was yelling at the referee that one of the Titans players high tackled a Warriors players and the crowd was booing but the ref did not care.When James Maloney (the goal kicker) got the second conversion I caught the ball because it bounced on this Chinese mans head but my brother booted it down onto the field. After the game we went by the Titans locker rooms and waited for about 30 minutes to the Titans came and were signing my sisters singlet and towel. This strange teenager was screaming just because Kevin Gordon came. Then she was jumping on him. Then the rest of the Titans were coming out and we got their signatures. When we were walking to the car we saw Clinton Toopi (he is a former Warrior) and got his Signatures then I ran down the bus to the corner of the street. The End

WWE

2010-07-22T10:43:00.006+12:00

Every Monday Night,or Friday night WWE goes live on air. WWE (world wrestling entertainment) is a wrestling show that millions of fans (like me) tune into watch WWE shows NXT, ECW, RAW and Smackdown. Vincent Kennedy McMahon runs the WWE and once he was a superstar and a champion but it was the ECW (extreme champions wrestling) when he beat a superstar called Bobby Lashley because he had a help from his son Shane McMahon and for another superstar Umaga. John Cena is one of the strongest in WWE. There is many paper-views but four main ones. First Survivor Series then the biggest party of the summer, Summerslam. A few months later it is the Royal Rumble and its every man on himself. The last one is the grand daddy of them all Wrestlmania. Thats all the WWE and you should watch it yourself.

Immersion Assembly

2010-07-22T10:22:00.005+12:00

Every start of the term (except for the first term) we always have a different topic to learn about. This term we are learning about Mighty Mariners. Mighty Mariners are about famous old and modern travelers like Columbus but also Jessica Watson.

First Mr.Burt introduced Team 1 to the stage but they didn't go onto the stage they were just sitting down with fake paddles and pretending to paddle. There was a movie, about the seven wakas coming to New Zealand, playing while they were pretending to paddle and Kingston was on of the animators.

There was plenty of that acting but my favourite team was team 4 because they were original because and had a family Eric the Red and Leif Erickson. They were Vikings.

I am always looking forward to our Immersion Assemblies because I always want to know what we are learning about. This term is Mighty Mariners.

Lachlan Coote vs Lote Tiqiri

2010-07-22T09:29:00.007+12:00

Lachlan Coote for the Penrith Panthers is on of the most spectacular but youngest NRL players around. But now there is Lote Tiqiri that plays for West Tigers is just unbelievable with his matter of skill that he has and uses. If these two men played for the same team,like Vodafone Warriors they will be unstoppable with Kevin Locke, Lance Hohia and many more. Lote has played union in his past career before he came to NRL while Lachlan Coote has played for Panthers since he debut. Lote now is one of the top try-scores in NRL this time but the leading try-scorer is I think Brett Morris or Lachlan Coote. These two men have had marvelous pass careers playing in NRL and I hope if the Panthers make it to the Grand Final, I hope Coote can get the winning try against the Warriors.

My Dream Team

2010-07-21T13:02:00.005+12:00

NRL (national rugby league) is very entertaining with it continuing since 1908 to 2010! Can you believe that. Here is my dream team for 2010. Fullback Billy " the kid" Slater wingers Brett Morris (above) and Jarryd Hayne . Centers are Israel Folau and Greg Inglis and he is like me Gabriel Inia. Im the next G.I. Halfs are Benji Mashall and Cooper Cronk. Props Petro Civonaceva and Fuifui Moimoi. Hooker Matt Ballin. Second rows Jamal Idris and Simon Mannering (C). Lock Jared-Wawaera Hargraves. Reserves are Matt Bowen, Daniel Vidot, Ben Hannet and Russell Packer. Thats my dream team. They are called Thunder Storms

Twilight Saga Eclipse

2010-07-19T13:43:00.006+12:00

In the holidays we went to the movies. At the movies me and my sister watched the Twilight Saga Eclipse. It is about these new born vampires when their leader Victoria (the bad one) bites this missing teenager and his name is Riley. Then he goes around the town and starts turning everyone into new born vampires. The good vampires (the Cullens) have one person in their family that knows how to destroy the new born vampires and his name is Jasper. Then the werewolf's joined in to help and Jacob (the leader) said "at least we get to kill some vampires" because werewolf's hate vampires. When the war between the new born vampires vs the Cullens and the werewolf's the new born vampires emerged out of the sea and started the war. While the war was going Victoria went to find the rest of the Cullens and they were on the top of the hill. Edward (the protecter of Bella) was fighting with Riley to try and protect Bella. Seth (the new werewolf) came and was trying to hold Victoria back until Riley was dead. Finally Riley was dead and straight after that Edward defeated Victoria. But when they thought the war was all over there was one more new born. Jacob tried to kill him but he got his rips broken. Carlise (the father) was a nurse so he went and helped Jacob then he was screaming because it was painful. Bella walked in and tried to calm down Jacob and so she did. Then it finished.

Thats what happened and thats the end.

Active Earth

2010-07-19T12:35:00.001+12:00

Monday Night RAW!

2010-07-01T14:38:00.009+12:00

Every Friday night Raw goes live on the air. All the wrestlers you like including John Cena, Randy Ortan, Triple H and many more. JR (Jerry 'the king' Lawler) and Michael Cole are the commentators and for Smack-down it is Matt Striker. There are many superstars one the roster from the draft. Drafts are when people trade from the shows like Smack-down and Raw. In this years draft Raw got more people to come from Smack-down to Raw. WWE superstars like R-Truth, John Morrison and Edge. John Cena is the strongest in the WWE and Raw but he doesn't really go that hard. There is many entertainment when you watch Raw or Smack-down but it can only work if you have Sky.

BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2010-06-25T13:08:00.002+12:00

'WOW' Was the only word going through my mind as this extravaganza movie ended. Right at the end was when I had a HUGE laugh when Rocky (Boy's brother stared at his dad ( Alimein) and asked him, How was Japan? Haha, You can have a laugh to.

It is a sad, sad but funny movie. A huge downer for Boy's or his real name Alimein is that his Mum had passed away, and his Nan was gone for like, literally a month meaning no one was at Boy's house to look after him. His Dad was sadly in jail. One Shocking evening, Alimein's Father ( Alimein ) pulled up in the drive way, and to Boy's amazement, his family was finally rich.

The only way to describe Boy is UN DESCRIBABLE!! Because there is lots of SAD parts and some bright sides to it.

If you haven't seen it than don't sit around. GO TO THE MOVIES AND WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!

My Favourite Singer Michael Jackson

2010-06-25T12:29:00.006+12:00

Last year in 2009 Michael Jackson died,it was very sad because he was the king of pop. Michael Jackson had the best songs liked thriller, man in the mirror and heal the world.What a disasters!

When he arrived to his last performance "this is it" He told everyone there that it was his last show and when Michel Jackson started singing halfway through he fainted and never woke up. After a while lots of ambulances arrived and took him to the hospital but he still never woke up. And that was the last of Michel Jackson. But even though he is dead he will always be the king at what he does.

Brett and Josh Morris

2010-06-21T14:35:00.003+12:00

Last year these two dynamic players,all together scored a total of 42 tries in only 27 rounds. "AMAZING!!!!" They are twins and Josh is just minutes older. Brett Morris has just now reached a total of 67 career tries while his brother has just 49. Brett's team is now currently 1st in the competion while josh's now in tenth with 8 points.

"EXCITEMENT" is the only word to describe them as! They are just unbelievable! If this was to be the GRAND FINAL, St George Illiwarra and the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, the intensity will be "AMAZING!!!!" Obviesley I would want the Vodafone Warriors to make it in the GRAND FINAL but with the St George Illiwarra Dragons and The Canterbury Banks-town Bulldogs, the atmosphere will be THRILLING!!

This is why these two twins are currently my best players in all NRL..

I would like to thank this website for the pictures of these cute twins....

Gabriel Rugby Academy

2010-06-14T12:35:00.001+12:00

On Friday the 3rd of June we had some people come from the rugby academy. Their names were Villi, Michael, T, Sam, John and one more of their mates whose name I don't know. We had Michael and Villi to train with while the others went to train with the other classes.

First we did some relays where we had to move the ball around our body and under our legs. Starford's team won most of them. (They were team three). Our next activity we did was just normal running relays. After that we did some more running relays but this time when we got to the cones we had to do five star-jumps. Waata cheated because he just went up and down.

Groups 1 and 2 then had to join lines to play a game called pass the boxing bag. Groups 3 and 4 had to do the same. We were having so much fun as we passed the boxing bag along the line. I was at the end of the line and I had to run back with it. It was quite heavy and difficult to run with. Versing Starford was hard because he is one of the strongest in the class and he is the fastest.

Villi then taught us a new game called run around. Run around is a game where you have to run around until Michael calls out a number. Sprinting as fast as we could you had to look for that number in a group like if he calls out three, you have to get into groups of three. We played two games. The winners of the first game were Rita and Oshania. The winners of the second game was Starford and Kobe.

The next game we played was bull rush. In the first game Starford and Mary were in and the second game Kobe and Rita were in. They had to choose a colour and if we had that colour we had to try make it to the other end. The winner of the first game was Te Rina. The winners of the second game were Oshania and Me.

Next we had to say goodbye to the Rugby Academy people because we had to give the other rooms a turn to train. We then went on to the bottom field to play touch and have some more fun. The people who didn't do their homework had to sit down by the edge of the playground. Eventually we had a turn to play with only 5 minutes to go.

What a fun day we had with the Rugby Academy people come and visit. I wish they could come and visit again because I play for the school and want some more tips about playing rugby.

Michael Jennings

2010-06-09T10:24:00.001+12:00

Michael Jennings is one of my favourite players in the NRL because he has speed, agility and strenght. He playes for the Penrith Panthers. He is an amazing center because he is one of the top-try scores in his team. Jennings is the best center in the comp (for me apart from G.I Greg Ingles). Once Jennings has side stepped someone he is gone like a bullet. Even though Jennings is small he still has more talent then any center in the NRL. I hope he gets picked for NSW. GO JENNINGS!

NSW

2010-06-02T10:13:00.002+12:00

NSW have lost to QLD in game one in State Of Origin, but that doesn't make a different between them because there are two more rounds to try win. In a nice debut for NSW bulldogs center Jamel Idris and Dragons winger Brett Morris. I think the first tryscores for NSW are going to be Jarryd Hayne, Jamel Idris Brett Morris. For QLD Darius Boyd, Billy Slater and Darren Lockeyer. My favourite player is in the NSW is everyone and in QLD it is Billy Slater and Greg Ingles. GO THE BLUES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OVER THE LIMIT!

2010-05-21T12:17:00.006+12:00

Edge and Chris Jericho will be facing off at Over the Limit. Everyone will think Edge will be victories, but I think Jericho is going to steal a win.My friend Darius thinks Jericho is going to win but everyone doubts that. Come on Edge do the Spear three times and if that happens this is what it will look like. Edge has had a strong career as a wwe superstar. He came back in 2010 Royal Rumble and actually won it. He and John Cena were the last two men in the ring when he through him over the top rope and thats how he won it. In 2007 himself and Randy Ortan teamed up and won the wwe world tag team champions The he won the Heavyweight champ. While Chris Jericho won the Heavy weight champ as well as Edge and he teamed up with the Big Show and won the Unified tag team champs. Jericho is a 10 time Intercontanal champion. His nickname is Y2J. GO EDGE!

WARRIORS

2010-05-19T09:52:00.006+12:00

Have you heard about the Vodafone Warriors? Cause if you have you would love my current dream team for the Warriors right now.Fullback Lance Hohia. Wingers Kevin Locke and Manu Vatuvei. Centers Brent Tate and Suitonga Likiliki. Five Eight James Maloney and Brett Seymour as Halfback. My props are Russell Packer and Sam Rapira. Hooker Aaron Heremiai. Second Rows are Simon Mannering as Captain and Lewis Brown. Lock Micheal Luck. Bench Ian Henderson, Jerome Ropati, Ben Materlino, and Patrick Ah Van.

Thats my dream team. I hope you liked it

CAPTURE THE FLAG

2010-03-09T18:47:00.002+13:00

Room 14 and 15 were playing a game called Capture the Flag.
First Miss King precisely explained the rules and the roles to us. In the beginning we got divided into teams. Everyone in room 14 and 15 all had different roles to do like guarding the flag area, running to get the flag and rescuing. Capture the flag is a easy and tactical game to play. I kept on getting out, but Darius kept on rescuing me. I was gratefully rescued.

We got the first three points. I had to run after my opponent because he had the flag.I heard lots of people shouting "Spartans".We got five scores and Room 14 got one score. At the end of the game we celebrated by playing a picking up rubbish game. We won that too.

I felt excited playing Capture the flag because that was my first time playing it.
