Book Recommendation

This week for reading we did Book Recommendation.

and this is what i wrote.

 

I recommend the book “Who Stole My Taro” written by David Riley. This book belongs to the Polynesian genre. The story is about a Samoan Legend. If you’re a fan of Polynesia, and myths and legends, you’ll love this book. This interesting read is recommended by Darius.

Pepeha

This week I made a pepeha. A “pepeha” is a  self portrait mixed with things about you.

First I made a copy of the template. The template included things like our culture, a symbol that is important to us, and our moutain, and awa.

Next I started adding stuff to the template. My important symbol was the cross, maunga (Mountain) being Mt Wellington, culture being of  Samoan & Tongan, and awa (river) being Tamaki River.

 

PE

For PE this week are PE teacher was Miss Erasmus and we learned about this sport named Shot Put.

Shot put is an event in which the participant stands inside a circle and attempts to “put” a weighted ball as far as they possibly can. The “put” is different than a “throw” due to the motion of the arm.

And Miss Erasmus said “Who ever throws the ball the furthest maybe gets pick to go to the inter school athletics” and when i heared that i was jumping up and down.

After that we started and then after the people did there terns it was mine i got up and i got the heavy ball and i trew it and i made it to the inter school athletics and my firend Ahea made it aswell and me and my firend Ahea were so happy.

And was so much fun.

Niuean Language Week

Fakaalofa lahi atu! This week is Niuean Language Week.

Our task was to create a two different posters to do with the Niuean language and culture and practice introducing ourselves.  The first was a poster with phrases and greetings in Niuean language.  The second was a fact file with different information about Niue. On the last slide I have introduced myself in Niuean.  I have learnt that E means Yes.  I have also learnt that Nakai means No.

Hot Wheels – Off Roading

This week for reading we have been focusing on revision.  Revision means looking at something previously read or studied to memorise it or change it or improve it.  We are revising our comprehension skills because we have testing soon.  I chose to read the story Hot-Wheels Off Roading by Ed Wisinski and Dave White.  I read it for 15 minutes then I completed this SSR Selfie.  I would recommend this book to other because if you own your own Hot Wheels toys, you will read about them in the book.

Term 3 Review

In LS1, this term was full of exciting things like, Cybersmart, Algorithm (Math) and many more. 

 

Thinking back on the last few months, I was so happy about my speech about why we should wear mufti.

 

I’ve been busy with all sorts of subjects, but the best part about Term 3 for me was Hpe, like Football,

Swimming, Ki O Rahi. and maths, like Algorithm, Fractions, and many more.                                                                                           

When it comes to reading, my favourite text I read was The Dive because it made me think about swimming and jumping into a pool.

 

Writing was super fun, especially when I got to a speech and when I had to say my speech in front of the whole class.

 

In Maths, I especially enjoyed it when we learnt about Division, Algorithms, because it’s just really understandable and easy to understand or learn about.

For our special Inquiry experiments, I really enjoyed dancing raisins and cashews because it was interesting to see the raisins and cashews going up and down, some raisin’s staying up and some cashews staying down.

 

In P.E. (Physical Education), I had a blast participating in Ki o Rahi because it was fun and quick to learn. And Football was really fun and I had a blast playing with my classmates and all that.

 

But you know what? I also found some areas where I can get even better. Like in reading. In reading I would mostly sit next to my classmates but sometimes I get distracted because I always talk to them and I move to another table to sit with someone not mostly distracted.

 

While I loved writing, I’ve noticed I need to work on more work because I always talk to my classmates but when I am not with them I get more work done and sometimes I finish my work. So basically what I need to work on is not to sit with my classmates sometimes.

 

In our special projects, I realised I need to work on listening to the teacher more because I get distracted sometimes.

 

In P.E., I think I could improve on my attitude because i get angry easily but sometimes i cool down with my anger and still having a positive attitude

 

Looking forward to the next term, I’m excited about the Athletics day and the Film Festival and mostly Prizgiving.  

 

And I’m thankful for having the opportunity to have the best term with my classmates and my teachers.

 

I can’t wait to see what the next term brings, and I’m ready to have the best term next term and make sure not to make things snowball and try not to get in that many fights with some students and just to make the best and having a positive attitude for next term.
