Mafoa,Keti,Aarmione and Manuae were in my group. He told us to move in different parts of the room if you were in a certain group. He gave each group a card that said what each shape ment. Then he asked the leader of each groups to come up and to read out what did their shape mean.

When Mafoa went up he said that the Triangles mean leadership.

Holiday Recount

In the Holidays my cousin Toni-Lee and her dance crew from school. Entered a competition called Mega Schools. All the schools from Auckland and one from Wellington compete to one a spot in the finals and from there go and compete overseas against other crews.

My anty rang my mum and said that her daughter was going to dance at the mega schools. When my mum heard she told me to tell my friends if they wanted to come to the mega schools and watch her nese dance at the Mega Schools.

When we went to the mega schools we met my anty called Mata so we call her anty Mata. We also meet her son Dylan her other daughter Shontell and her kids Jr and Charlet.

The dance was at Vodafone Events Center. There we had to give our tickets that we brought online to these two security guards. One we got in there were people from Custom Dee selling T - shirts and people selling food. There were a lot of people waiting in line for the guards to open up the doors. The line started to get bigger as the time went by because more and more people were coming through the doors to watch all the school preform.

When they opened the doors my family and my friends sat on the ground when everyone else sat up on the cheers so they could see more. When it started the announcer came out and introduced us to all the judges. He told us what all the judges did and most of them were dances. Then he told us all the sponsors. Like My FM,Custom Dee and many more.

The first school that danced was some school I can’t remember. But I do remember the really good schools like MAGS (Mt Albert Grammar School),AGGS (Auckland Girls Grammar School),Request, The Royal Family, Prestige and some really cool schools. But the school that came first was Manure School Then in Second place came MAGS and third came this other school that I can’t remember. So all three school get to compete  to go overseas.

                             

Term 1 reflection

Monday, 30 March 2015

When school started I found out that is was going to be in room ten instead of room 9 so I was really happy because I had been in that class too long. Then one week later I went to school and they said that there was going to be a water fun day. At water fun day it was fun as Because there were a lot of activities involving water. The first activity was fun because we had to carry half of a milk carton filled with water underneath the cheer without spilling any. Then tip it into the bin. Because the house with the most water in there bin wins.

In term one we went to the MADD messenger program and learnt about different thing each time we go there. Only year seven and eight were allowed to come to the program. One time we had to go into groups like the Tongan,Samoan group,Cook Island group and some other groups. My group had Dora,Moses,Tauola,Hemi,Me,Levi,Fraser and Brandon. Moses came up with an idea to do a Samoan dance called Manu Samoa. After we and everybody did their thing this guy petia drew a picture of Captain America to show that everyone has something special inside of them.

Later on we did this other program called Kiwi Can where we did the same thing but a bit different. At kiwi can we talked about Corporation,Friendships and Working together. Each time we go there we have a new topic and they ask us what was last week topic then we tell them then we move to the new topic for this week. At the end they give us points based on our behavior. At the end of the program they see which class in the senior’s has the most points so they can get an award. Like a pizza an a movie like Glenn Taylor.

We also went to butterfly creek in term 1 to learn about Dinosaurs. Because dinosaurs is our topic this term. There we meet a lady called Salita. She showed us around the first place she showed us to was the dinosaurs kingdom where we went into this room. Where we meet this other man called Paul. Paul asked us and told us about dinosaurs.

MADD

Today at MADD we talked about Talents and Skills with just Petia. Because Caroline wasn’t there and wanted to say sorry for her absence. First he said does anyone know what a talent is or talents. We said that it means something you're good at. Then after he talked about that he talked about Skills. He asked us a question. He said does anyone know what is the difference between a Skill and a Talent. Then Lennyx said a Skill is something you practice to become good at it. Then Petia said and a Talent is Skill you were born with.

Then he showed us these two big red,blue and green cards. The first card showed the number 10,000. The 10,000 represents the hours you should put into practicing your talent and to think of it as playing instead of work. So it could be funer.

The Second card was red and it said that NO means knowledge. Because if the coach says no he will say no because you not good at this are at that because and then you can learn from that mistake.

Myths And Legends

Myths And Legends

Once upon a time there was a beautiful girl that had Jet black hair and had blue eyes with red red lips like blood. There was also three young sons of the king before he died. Each with its individual talent. For example the oldest one was as strong as 30 men and the 2nd oldest was 2 times as fast as light, the 3rd one could control lightning  and shot them out of his fingertips and his eyes. But the one thing that they all had in common that their dad gave them all a superpower each when they were born so they could protect themselves at all time.

The oldest name was ones name was Hercules and the 2nd oldest was called Zeus and youngest was called Perseus. When they meet Marry the fell for her straight away. The all tried to ask on a date but the first Hercules tried and he said I will take you to have nice picnic in the park and we can listen to the birds in the park but she declined then Zeus asked her and he said to her I will take her under the stars and look at the moon while we watch a movie but she said no then Perseus asked her to come with him to the castle and have dinner with him and she said yes. But the other brothers were Jealous of Perseus and wanted to kill him. But Marry over herd their plan and warned Perseus that they were Jealous and they wanted to kill him but he was ready.

He knew when they would attack him what they would do and how they would trick him but what they did not know that he was their half brother because their dad did not tell them that he was their half brother and that he had other powers rather than just one power because he was born with more powers than them at birth. When it was time for them to kill him he was ready they said Perseus come and join us we are about to have lunch Perseus went even though he knew what they were doing anyway he went with them. After they had lunch Hercules attacked him with a sword that he had in his bag. but Perseus blocked it created a shock wave that blowed both of them backwards. Then Zeus got up off the floor and run up to him in a flash and tried to punch him but Perseus created an force field that protected him from the force of the punch.

Then Perseus took down the force field and shocked Zeus with lightning and Zeus fell to the floor just then Hercules hit the ground and made a big crack in the ground but Perseus closed up the hole with his other powers like earth bending but when he was closing it up Hercules tackled him to the ground then Perseus controlled thunder instead of lighting to kill Hercules. Then a few years later Marry and Perseus got married and had kids that had Perseus same powers and Marry and Perseus  and their kids lived happily ever after the End

The Lesson was to control your temper and never get jealous.
