Matthew's 2010 Reflection

Finally the week has come. After days and days of waiting,its come to an end.
Its the last week of school,every childs favourite week. But I am going
to miss school,especially all the hard work i did for my school work


One theme that was hard but a bit awesome was writing. Looking back at term
1s writing and looking at it now,makes me feel proud. My writing has
really improved from last time and I’m really happy.

The next theme is maths, my favourite subject. Each term we have been
learning some thing different,which helps us kids out a lot. Well it has
really helped me out!(I am at the level AM which is a year 7 grade)

What has been the most awesome thing to do this year was going to camps.
Especially Camp Bentzon,it was the hardest camp,well for me it was.
Mostly because I came home with scraps and scratches all over me. But
camps help us to learn things that we need to.

I think the 2010 year at Pt England school has been pretty cool,to be
honest. Ive enjoyed this year. Lets see what next year has installed for
us?

Angela and Toreka's MTV

This year I teamed up with Angela and Mubasshira to produce this well-crafted movie above.

It took a lot of practices and brain to create this fantastic film. The song we chose was : Hit Me With Your Best Shot, by Pat Benetar. We had a lot of fun in the making of this movie. We hope to seen see your movies. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the movie.

Celebrating Childrens' Days

As part of our unit study on how people celebrate different events, we have learn about Tango no sekku and Hinamatsuri

What do we eat for breakfast in New Zealand?

We have made a movie to show you what we might have for breakfast in New Zealand.
I have toast with jam on top, and sometimes Weet-bix.
Weet-bix is a New Zealand cereal that we eat in the morning.
Weet-bix looks like biscuits, and I put sugar and milk on top.
I like butter on warm toast so it melts.

The korero is best for fire works and halloween.  Have ever had some one come up to you and say wheres your adult? This is a reminder  of what you should do - I hope you like you like it. 

   

About our Korero

 

Here at Pt england school our principal gives us koreros this means talking about and every Friday we have a assembly. Our principal gives us a korero to help us in our learning. Each year he gives us diffrent korero. Sometimes we do the same korero. Sometimes people - our year six assembly crew do plays to show us the korero. I think that koreros help us with our learning and reminds us to do the right thing.

My movie is about responsibilty.  Darius Room 12

The Trojan Horse

Do you know the story of the Trojan Horse?
Silas, Samuela and Turuhira have been learning to use some clever vocab as they retold it for us.


Long long ago there was a huge war, against the Greeks and the Trojans.
The Greeks couldn’t get in the city wall, until Odysseus came up with a cunning plan.
He ordered some talented, hard working artists, to construct a huge wooden horse, and leave it there as a present for the Trojans.
Then they pretended to all sail away.
Silas

It was a trick.
Odysseus and some of his men were hiding inside.
When they saw the massive horse, the Trojans dragged inside the city walls.
They were so happy that the war had ended, that they had a huge celebration party
Samuela

When the Trojans had all fallen asleep, Odysseus came out of the horse.
He was inside the city.
That is how the Greeks killed the Trojans, and won the war.
Turuhira

The Lion and the Mouse 2

Studamyer, Logan and Ahsin have retold parts ot this traditional story and put it together in an animation. They were trying to use some of the clever vocab we had talked about when we read the story.


The lion had a big shaggy neck, large jaws, and was king of the jungle.
The minute mouse had sharp teeth and he was so little.
The mouse was searching for food
The Lion woke up and grabbed the mouse.
The mouse said" Sorry I wont do it again".
The lion felt sorry for the mouse
The lion put the mouse on his paws so the mouse could grab the food.
Little mouse said to the lion "One day I can help you"
The big lion laughed "Ha ha ha"at the little mouse.
The mouse heard the lion roaring.
He ran to him and saw the lion was trapped in a net.
“I can help you” he said.
The mouse gnawed through the ropes.
“Thank you for getting me free, I have learnt that it can be good to be small” said the lion.
