2020/Term 4 Highlights!

This term was packed full of events and was overall a very exciting term! There were many highlights and memories made this year.

I had the opportunity to be a film festival presenter and present our classroom film all about how to deal with your worries. It was based on a book "Ruby finds a worry" by Tom Percival. 

In term 3 the year 8s went off to Thames for the annual camp, year 8 camp was postponed due to Covid-19 and lockdowns so that was why we had it during term 3 instead of term 2. I made many memories there and had loads of fun with the rest of the year 8s. I'll definitely miss the camps that Pt England has for us.

 Cross country was also one of my highlights! this years cross country the year 8s had to run 3km. Although cross country was a very tiring day I enjoyed cheering for the rest of the year 8s! I also came 2nd for year 8 girls :D

I also enjoyed serving for Pt England School. Becoming a prefect for 2020 was both an interesting experience and I learnt a lot from it.

I'm also looking forward to prizegiving which is tomorrow evening (Thursday the 10th of December), and also excited for year 8 graduation which is next week Monday (Monday the 14th of December).

Extension- Art work (Art Alive)

 

For extension this term we drew digitally an image that represented both the environment that is around us and our culture. 

For this image we also followed the rule of thirds. The flax is at the very front, the Pt England beach seen in between the flax and the sky. A popular Burmese pattern is drawn onto the flax which represents my culture. We go down to the Pt England beach at least twice a year for our annual school picnic and so I decided to add it in as my background.

Plastic Pollution

 Did you know that plastic can take up to 1,000 years to decompose? Plastic is great! It’s used for everything, it’s very useful as it is really durable but because of how durable it is, it’s really horrible for both our environment and animals. Plastic pollution has been a huge problem for a very long while. It’s an abundance of unwanted plastics here on earth. 

The four r’s, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, and Repurpose. Reducing the use of plastic can be a huge help to plastic pollution. Why should we reduce the use of plastic? It’s really important because plastic production requires an enormous amount of energy and resources. This causes carbon emissions and contributes to global warming. What are some ways we can reduce the use of plastic? Well firstly, we can start by avoiding single-use plastics like straws, plastic shopping bags, water bottles, etc. 

Reuse, Why should we reuse plastic? By reusing plastic instead of manufacturing the same grade of material every time, we are effectively reducing the footprint of the plastic on dump sites across the globe. How can we reuse plastic? Reusing plastic isn’t that hard. We can reuse the plastic by using it the way it was manufactured to but we can also repurpose it. 

Recycle, Why should we recycle? Recycling takes about 88% less energy than making plastic, it also helps with reducing fossil fuel consumption. Not only does plastic take ages to break down it also makes up a huge amount of our solid waste, and because of how long it takes for the plastic to break down when we dump plastics into landfills, it doesn’t break down easily. Thus causing it to clog up valuable landfill space. 

Lastly, Repurpose, like mentioned in reduce we can repurpose the use of plastic. Not only is it easy it also saves us money. Plus, properly recycling these plastics benefits the environment by reducing the need for more landfills. We also conserve a lot of energy by repurposing/recycling plastic.

Immersion Assembly {Term 4}

 This week is our first week of term 4, I'm looking forward to all that's happening but also quite sad since it's my last term here at Pt England School.

Like any other normal immersion assembly's  on Monday each team got to present by film/play what they are going to be doing this term. Almost every team presented a video except for team 5 (like normal). Our theme for this term is 'Art Alive' we will be looking at different ways of art. Term 4 is gonna be the term of art!

My favourite two teams were team 5 (not being biased) and team 1. Team 5 had a play where it was based at the museum the teachers acted as art pieces and explained what each art piece meant. Team 1 was a video of the teachers recreating famous art pieces. 

I will be looking forward to all of the art related lessons throughout this term! :D

Reo Changemaker, Hinewehi Mohi

 WALT: Evaluate information in a text

TASK DESCRIPTION: for this weeks reading task we took a look at Hinewehi Mohi, someone who changed the way we sung our New Zealand anthem! 

Hinewehi mohi's story

Hinewehi mohi’s father came from an era where if caught talking Maori they would be smacked, and so this led to many not knowing their language. His parents as well thought that it would be better for him to learn english as the rest of the world. At age 36 her father decided to do something about the language and so he taught himself and then taught his daughter, Hinewehi was also keen on learning more about the language and so she did.

Learning the language came to a point where it became important to learn Maori at school. Hinewhehi mohi went to St Joseph's Māori Girls' School in Napier and went onto the University of Waikato where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in Māori in 1985.

Her first album being Oceania, it was released in 1999. While promoting her first album in London, she was asked to sing the New Zealand national anthem at a rugby game in Twickenham. 

Although singing the New Zealand anthem in Maori had been done multiple times, it had never been done at the nationals and so when Hinewehi sang it in Te Reo everyone was shocked. Singing it in this version was very controversial; she decided to go forward with singing it in Maori.

Maori Moment

Today at exactly 12 pm we had a moment where we all stood up and sang 2 songs! We did this to remember the protest that took place in 1972. In 1972 30,000 signatures were taken to the parliament because they decided that we needed to do something to keep the language (Maori) alive in Aotearoa. And now we did a week every year to dedicate it to learn more about the native language! (Maori).

450cm or 4.5m for the perimeter

and for the area I got 12,600cm or to simplify it, it would be 126m

-------------------------------- The End -------------------------

What being Burmese means to me!

 I’m quite proud to be Burmese, there’s loads of cool traditions in every culture but here are just some of mine! Being Burmese means a lot and can mean quite a lot of different things to different Burmese people but this is what it feels for me to be Burmese! 

Firstly let’s talk about dances and festivals, there are multiple popular festivals but the most known one is the water festival. It’s called a Thingyan! Although it’s not just us who celebrate it but it is quite a big deal in Myanmar/Burma. It usually takes place at the end of the year. Participating in our cultural dances means quite a lot and we learn a lot about our culture along the way! 

In Myanmar/Burma they use a different calendar, it’s known as the lunisolar calendar many countries/cultures use this as well! The months in the lunisolar calendar are based on the lunar months and the years are based on solar years! 

And so these are only a fraction of the reasons why I’m proud to be Burmese! 

Tongan Travel

TASK DESCRIPTION: For today's quick maths task we had to solve this simple question! :D

Most of us completed it instantly and some of us found it hard. We just had to find out where each uncle and aunties dot is!

Things I would love for the current year 7s to have at camp next year ⛺

~Here are just some things I would love for the current year 7s to have at camp next year ⛺~

The camp was amazing! I enjoyed it and made lovely memories at the place. I'm very grateful for the fact that we even had camp because in the beginning of the year it seemed as if there would be no camp. 

~Maybe roasting some marshmallows? Having a camp fire could've actually been really fun and could maybe bring us together? Some bonding time!

~Water slide? I've seen old videos of the past year 8s sliding down which looked really fun but it's totally fine that we didn't have it this year as there was a storm.

~I wish we had flying fox but sadly it was closed because of some technical difficulties.

~A few more days at camp would've been amazing, I still miss camp and I just don't think we had enough time :(( but camp was amazing for those 3 short days!

Highlights of Year 8 Camp at Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp

 Last week we had year 8 leadership camp. While the year 8s were away having a blast at the Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp the year 7s and some of the year 8s that stayed back had the step up programme with Mrs Ilaoa, Miss Tipene and Mrs Moala.

I had multiple highlights from camp but some of them were the cross games that we had on the first day. On the first day of camp once we had arrived at the campsite we went into our cabins to get our bunks ready, we also got changed into something comfortable for the games. There were games that we had and we were able to get points for our camp groups.

Long story short my favourite game out of the cross games was the body surfer. I was the one who got to surf on all of my group while they pulled me across the hall. It felt great to be supported by all of the year eights and I trust that they wouldn't drop me. It was a great time and it helped us to befriend people we didn't really know before.

From what I heard from the year 7s step up programme it seemed pretty fun. I found out that they also had teams and it was very similar to last years programme.

Overall I'm very thankful that we even had camp because during the lockdown it seemed like there wasn't even going to be one. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to step up as leaders and to make new friends.

{DMIC} Liquorice Lace

 

For yesterdays DMIC maths lesson some of us met on the ground to revise fractions and equivalent fractions. We then got a maths problem that went like "Jahzara has a liquorice lace that is 12cm long, she has 3 other friends. How is she going to split it evenly for the 4 of them?" so when we got passed down our liquorice lace we got onto dividing it evenly for 4. After that we had another question we then had to solve, it went like "Jahzara's other two friends want some as well, how will you divide it again so that each of them has equal pieces?". Lastly we just divided the 4 strings into 3 so that we had 12 strings in the end.

Today is the first day for term 3! I'm looking forward to this term as there will be loads of events taking place! This term's theme is 'A world of difference'.

Each team presented what they were going to do this term. My favourite team must be team 5! not trying to be biased. They went up on stage and did a small play for the whole school, we found out that we were going to be taking a look at myths from all through out the world.

We got told the story of Sina and the eel, a story of love and sadness. The eel confessed his love but got rejected which was already sad, the eel follows Sina everywhere she goes and as the story progresses her fear for him grew bigger. Till one day when Sina had enough, she told her uncles and cousins where the cousin chopped off the eels head. Before dying the eel asked Sina to plant his head as his last wish, after they had planted his head a tree grew from it along with coconuts. It is said that the three holes represent his eyes and mouth so whenever you drink the water of it you are also kissing him.

Why do people protest?

Why do people protest?

What do you think of when the word ‘protest’ comes up? For hundreds of years New Zealand have had multiple protests trying to bring awareness to their movement. Some have succeeded and others haven’t. Some may be for rights, fairness, to fix a problem, etc.

What is a protest?

There are many ways to protest, a march, petition, a meeting, strike, rally, etc. A protest can be a way to complain or to bring awareness to a problem, protests have been around for a very long time, for example in New Zealand it has been a few hundred years since protests have taken place.

What causes a protest?

Protests usually take place when people feel as if there has been injustice or unfairness. It can also be made when the public disagrees with changes that the government caused. Many start a protest when they have a problem they would like to share with the public.

Do protests work?

Some do, some don’t. It takes both sides of people to make a compromise, if the protest can get known and really large like the BLM protest that is going on right now changes would most likely be made. It’s not a certainty that the protest the people started will work but it doesn’t hurt to try!

Protests have been a thing for a long time and some of them actually helped make a difference to the present! So, what do you now know about protests?

Terrific Transformations!

TASK DESCRIPTION: in each slide of this presentation we had a task to do, I learnt about enlargement and the order of symmetry.

Lesson 2: Courgette Fritters!

Lesson 2: Attributes of a healthy and tasty meal Courgette fritters

We are learning to:

• use seasonal vegetables to make a healthier food product

• use food preparation and cooking skills

• describe key attributes of a food product

• work safely in the kitchen, using good hygiene practices

• work together as a team

• manage time effectively

• evaluate a food product.

Success criteria: “I am successful when I can...”

• use courgettes or other seasonal vegetables to make healthier fritters

• grate vegetables using a large-hole grater

• form similar-sized fritters, fry and then share these evenly amongst my team

• describe key attributes of courgette fritters

• work with my team to make healthier fritters safely, within time constraints.

Evaluate the outcome

What went well? Frying the fritters went better than me and Jedida expected. Getting the ingredients ready to mix went well too! Overall everything went well!

What did not go well? Nothing really went wrong, everything went better than what I expected.

What could be improved?  Maybe cleaning a bit more quicker and when frying the fritters maybe we could’ve made them smaller so that there was more.
