Andrew patterson speech

This morning A Man named Andrew Patterson Brought Rainen the deputy head boy of tamaki college Mr patterson interviewed Rainen about his first years in Tamaki. There main point was show us the meaning aim A.I.M Aspiration, Inspiration, motivation.

 We also showed us a video of a boy called Dwight his dad was a Mongrel mob patch member and colleges didn't accept him because they thought he wouldn't do well but Remuera High school accepted him and saw potential in him so they help him and in year 12 he got the endeavour award at prize giving.

 I think this talk was very helpful for next year when i go to college. The most important thing that i’ll take with me to my college years is to put myself out there.

Reading

Title	Athletics day
Introduction	Have you ever threw a shot put 14 meters?  Coming first in sprints? Have you ever came first at everything? Have you showed your best in it athletics.
Information 1st idea	Achieving your personal best means doing your best in everything especially in athletics.  In athletics there so many sports to participate last week on friday. We did discus, throwing spear, throw ball, volleyball, shot put, tug of war, high jump and sprint and after all these sports we did relays.
Information 2nd idea	We showed our personal best in all of the sports by not giving up and we cept on trying even though we were tired we never gave up. We used up all of our strength to pull to throw and to run. We wanted to have a drink and a break but we cept on trying even though we sat under the sun for hours and hours.
Information athletic 3rd idea	Not also we showed our personal best but we showed support to each other, even though they are giving up we tried to push them to get through the whole day and letting them having a go.
Conclusion	I liked how we got through the day without giving up and letting other people down but pushing them at having a go at every sports. I also liked how we cheered for other people. And I like how we went through the day happy and safe.

Different wind instruments

Bbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrr that's the raspberry sound it's kind of like the sound of elephant. At this morning assembly Mr Jacobsen brought in two very historical wind instruments the conch and the shofar.

Mr Jacobsen told us how the people in the island chopped the end of conch shell and blow the raspberry sound to communicate with other island. He started talking about in the desert they don't have shells so they do the same thing  with antelope horns. He also explained that bugles were used to tell people to line up.

This morning I had a great experience learning about the different kinds of wind instruments. My favorite instrument was the shofar because it was to me.  

Addition And Subtraction Word Problems

Musical madness

Wigs on,  musical instruments everywhere and lots of interesting costumes on It was madness. Musical madness!  Musical madness was the topic for this term. Once I saw all of the craziness I knew that this immersion assembly was gonna be good.

The most entertaining item in my opinion was Team three three item was  putting songs into a story line.  Team three also spoke about how there gonna try and make there own instruments. My favorite part in the item was mr Moran’s groovy dancing moves

Giving information the item that gave the most information was the best team,  my team, team 5 there informative item was about a family movie night. They watched a part of the movie lion king and changed the background music that changed the mood and emotion of the movie.

Happy fifth birthday

Streamers hanging everywhere. The words happy birthday cut out of paper, taped just above a giant racing car cake with five candles on top. Family came from all around New Zealand aunty and uncles from up north or far down south.  All getting ready for my little brother Samsons fifth birthday.

Food food and more food i've never seen that much food in one place and we're going to eat it all. There were all types fudge cakes,cup cakes, mud cakes and delicious  cheese cake. It wasn't all just deserts there was also a sizzling  barbecue and a big hangi just sitting on the table until  five o'clock, time to eat.  

Too much fun if we had any more i'll explode. We had  a big bouncey castle with a giant inflatable dinosaur on top, there was another with a blow up basket ball hoop and a bright orange swirly slide inside. There was more four big bumper balls to bump and challenge any one.

Five o'clock arrived the bouncey castles were empty and the tables were full of food and children. I was licking  my lips just waiting to to dig my teeth into that giant birthday cake. We just finished singing happy birthday and cake was getting handed out. The next five minutes the cake tray was empty but our tummy's were full.

I think that I could say this without a thought that was the best birthday ever. My highlight of the day was the cake and bumper balls. The thing that I didn't like about that day is that Samsons birthday wasn't a birthweek.

Why are mobile phones banned

Why are mobile phones not allowed in class. I think we should be allowed your mobile phones at the appropriate time. If we were allowed to bring our mobile we should treat it like a school net book. Lock it the netbook cupboard or cow during school and  after school take home

Mobile phones are useful at school because if your chromebook breaks or gets stolen you could sign in to your drive with your  phone. You could also do math whizz and our basic facts with a phone.

Another reason why phones are useful should be allowed at school is to communicate to your parent  if  trainings su canceled and you need  ride home Or  call your teacher to let them know why you're not coming to school.

You could also use it for note pad. Note pad is useful if your chromebooks breaks or the internet crashes then you could just use your phone and go on notepad and do your writing or maths working out.

Broken chromebook, after school calling, notepad and crashed internet are main reasons why phones important to have at school.
