Serena Netbook Reflection

Last year I got my new netbook and I was very excited. As our whole classroom was sitting down on our tables we were waiting for our names to get called out. When my name got called out I was very excited as Miss Va'afusuaga placed it in front of me it was very flash and shiny.

Then we got our charger and our netbook bags. Then the teachers like Miss garden and Mrs burt and Miss Va'afusuaga told us to open our netbook leds to see the screens it was nice and shiny. As i’m still continuing with my netbook from last year its been a very struggling

year because I had to get my netbook screen fixes because it was changing colour when every I move my netbook screen. What I most enjoyed about my netbook is when I have free time whenever my teacher says too. But what I like doing on my netbook is when I do some

school work.But I just want to thank Mr Burt and Mrs Burt for the netbook. Its been very fun and TLN (Manaiakalani) has help me connect every time whenever I go on the internet.

A Walk in the Bush.

On a rainy horrible day I saw people walking with their camp bags as I was walking my way into the bush walk with my dad. Also there was a lady walking with her umbrella as me and my dad was soaking wet. We saw lots of trees and bushes and we were walking down the path, me and my dad couldn’t feel our feet as the water


was running down through our socks and shoes. We saw lots of leaves as we walked passed, and there were signs and big trucks of trees that was planted on the bushes. It was a very horrible day, the clouds were gray and also a bit smokey. It was so terrible when me and my dad started to run through the bushes because I


almost trip over this reto that growed on the side of the path. We saw a sign with excise on it as we were running pass so we done a little bit of that and it was called press ups but on the grass.Then as me and my dad made our way out of the bush walk we warmed down to the car.Then as we made our way home we had a nice hot shower.

Serena eclipse writing

On a hot windy dark day, on Wednesday there was an Eclipse up in the sky. As I was looking up into the sky I saw the moon sticking with the sun as the sun was trying to separate from the moon. It was so exciting because it was my first time seeing an Eclipse. When I looked

up my eyes were sore because it was so bright that the clouds were moving away from the Eclipse.What I liked about the Eclipse is when the sun was trying to get away from the moon. My favorite part of
the Eclipse is when we were cooking pancakes the same time.

My Little Red Riding Hood

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Little Red Riding Hood who lived in cottage. As Little Red Riding Hood and her mother was in her cottage she was collecting goodies to put in the basket for her grandma. When they were finished her mother said to not talk to strangers as she was skipping through the path. As she was skipping through the path she saw some flowers and she picked them as she saw them. After that big bad wolf was at the back of the tree making his way to grandma cottage. When Little Red Riding Hood got to grandma cottage she walked in and said” grandma what big eyes you have, What big ears you have, What big nose you have. After that big bad wolf said i’m gonna eat you so Little Red Riding Hood scream for help so Little Red Riding Hood dad came to help her and he killed big bad wolf with his axt. Then grandma came out of the cupboard and they all hugged each other and lived happily ever after.

running through the mud

Squish sqoish running into the mud it felt like my ankles had heavy metal strap around them. It was like gooey,slimy,jelly as I was struggling to move my feet through it.

Life Education Caravan

For the four 3 weeks Room 22 have been going to the Life Education Caravan. We have learnt that we have different kind of choices that we have of consequences. Lots of bad choices lead us to cancer and it is not just by smoking it by some other things aswell. Our session with Life Education is over. And we had lots of fun and we enjoyed going there for the past 3 weeks.

Basketball

On Thursday last week I was feeling pretty happy because there were two instructors who had come to Pt England to teach us some basketball skills. Unfortunately for me I had to be the photographer because of my knee injury. So I watched and was ready with the camera to capture some of the action. They introduce their names to us and their names are Tie and Shane. they gave us some rules and we had to follow them as they told us to get in a line of five groups facing the white wall. Once we were in our lines Tie and Shane gave us a ball to each line. Now it was time to do some techniques skills. Then we ran up to Shane and Tie as we were bouncing the ball. Once we got up to the instructors we did a jump stop and then a pivot as we count one two and then passed it back to the line. After that we had to stop what we were doing and we weren't aloud to bounce the ball when he was speaking. When he was finished talking he told us that we were playing a game vs boys and girls. But the girls had to go in the middle of the court and the boy have to tag us with the ball. Then it was the boys turn to be in the middle and all the girls have to tag them with the ball, then it was time for us to head back to class and get ready for morning tea time.

Valerie Adams won silver in the London olympic women’s shot put. Four throws out past the 21-metre mark in the final with her third round effort of 21.36m her best. Valerie Adams could only manage 20.70m with her best,also in the third round,while Russia’s Evgeniia Kolodko won the bronze with a final throw of 20.48m.

Olympic Flag

The founder of the modern Olympic games, Pierre de Coubertin, also designed the Olympic flag. For the flag, he chose 6 colours red, yellow, blue, green, black and white. these colours are the colours from every country's flag. And the white of the background stands for peace and truth. The five rings represents the five continents of the world. Each Olympics this symbol is included in the official Olympic.

Olympic

London 2012 The games of the 30th olympiad will be held in London . In 2012 London will become the first city to ever host an Olympics 3 times. The first time they hosted the London olympic was in 1904. Then they hosted them again in 1948 now it’s in 2012. It is a city of Majesty and Modernity meaning old but also new. This year will be seeing some familiar faces. These people were in the last olympic 4 years ago in Beijing. These people are Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt competing against people all over to the world to try win gold again. I am hoping that Usain Bolt comes first not second in the 100m.

KIWI KICK

After morning tea our class walked through the breeze towards the
netball courts. When we arrived the class had to sit down on the ground, I had to remain standing due to my knee injury. My teacher (Mrs Nua) said that I could be the photographer, she then gave me the keys for our classroom and asked me to get the camera out. I went back and started taking some photos of everybody, room 20 also came and sat down too.

The instructor (Sam) introduced a game called Kiwi Kick (in other words AFL). He taught us how the game is played and the rules involved, by demonstrating some ball drills for us eg: kick punt and drop punt. Kick punt is when you are holding the ball and release it in the air then kick it, and a Drop punt is when you drop the ball on the ground in front of you and then kick it.

Both classes taking up the whole court and half of the field had to pair up to practice the drills 20 times. Each pair was to choose a name “Penguin” or “Polar Bear” once decided they then had to spread out on the yellow line with their partner lined up behind them. Each person had to kick punt the ball to see who does it correctly and gets it the furthest and after do the same drill on the drop punt. While that was happening I was still walking around taking more photos to show Mrs Nua afterwards.

Yesterday we went to kiwi kick and we had (Sam) again. Then he said that we have to get into paris of two so me and Jessica were partners and we had to name each other cheaters or jaguars so I went as a jaguar and Jessica went as a cheater. After that he told us that the cheater have to go on the line by the cones and then he told us that we have to line up on the line too. After we had to line up we played a game called chase your partners to their lines. Sam said jaguars so Jessica had to chase me because she was a cheater and I was a jaguars and if he says cheaters then I have to chase Jessica because she is a cheater and I am a jaguar and jaguars have to chase cheaters to the line that is at the back of the cheaters.
