For the past few weeks I have been working on an unfinished story. I was focusing on describing emotions better. IN this example I used words like ‘scream’ and ‘merry’ to help the reader see, hear and imagine the story. I think I did well at using the five sensors. Next time I will write a smaller story so I can finish it.
This week has been a really good week. I had a great student council meeting and I now have access to the Te Reo O Rawhiti website (Our student council name is Te Reo O Rawhiti)
Today Anika and I led Assembly. I was a bit nervous as I had never led Assembly before but when I started I instantly forgot and just had fun. Tangaroa did a flash mob and did the line dance to “Fireball” by Pitbull. I was up in the front and the little kids loved it. They were screaming with joy and bringing joy to them makes me happy.
The hardest part of the week I was so tired after Bluelight Camp.
I can’t wait to see what next week will bring.
This term for Action Stations I have been doing Drama and Theatre Sports. Each lesson we started out with small games such as what are you doing? Then we worked on our plays. My play was about life in the twenty-fifth century seeing what it was like in the twentieth century. I was the guide showing everyone around.
This week has been a really good week. I helped out with the junior triathlon, did a new Choice and Challenge and learnt more of the year 7’s names.
We learnt a new line dance to the song “Fireball” by Pitball. It was really confusing at the start but Malaya and I quickly caught on. After that we taught the rest of our friends it. They sort of know it now.
The hardest part of the week was adjusting to the new maths resource but I’m sure that I will get the hang of it quickly.
I can’t wait to see what next week will bring.
This week has been a great week. From the first student council meeting to acing a song in Kapa Haka, I have so many endorphins.
Zita, Niko, and I cruised down to the first student council meeting on Wednesday. We mostly talked about what the student council will do, come up with new token box rewards and tried to think of a new name for the student council.
I can’t wait to see what next week will bring.
Today we looked at graphs showing drowning between 2009-2019 and 2018-2019. Click on the link below to see my work.
We have been learning about water safety. Today we focused on Drownings. In 2022 there were 80 preventable deaths. I learnt that:
Males made up 82.5% of all the drownings. The majority of people that drowned were ages 65 and over.
When you go in, on or around water you should:
My fitness goal is to run 3 lengths of the bike track without getting breathless or stopping. At present I can only run 2 laps and when I do that I feel like I will die.
This week was the second back in Tangaroa. To be honest, I was really tired from Waitangi weekend. It was harder for me to focus but I will try harder next week. We did a lot of camp prepping for Spencer Park next Tuesday- Wednesday.
The highlight of this week was being told that I would be on the student council. I am so grateful to be given this opportunity and will strive to make this school a better place for everyone.
The first lesson of Tech started up again. I am in 8C with four of my friends. I am doing Digi Tech with Ms Gorman and it seems really cool. We had to do a game to figure out coding. It was hard at first but after five minutes it was really fun.
I can’t wait to see what next week will bring.
8th of February 2015.
Kia ora. I’m about to go to school for the first time at Rawhiti School. I used to go to North New Brighton school but then it shut so it could create an even better one. I already know a few teachers as some of them were with me at North New Brighton. I walk into the last class called ” Tangaroa “. A girl with brown frizzy hair rushes up to me.
” Ko wai tō ingoa?” She asks.
” Ko Sarah taku ingoa ” I say with a smile.
