My Letter

Dear Mrs Tapuke 

My Name is Zaeeda and I am looking forward to being in your literacy class. My sister was in your literacy class three years ago and she has told me loads of stories about class. I am super excited!

My goal for the year is to get all my work finished and not have games on my turn in sheets. I also want to get a good understanding of what is happening in a text before I get onto the task. I am also happy to say that I want to finish all my work to the best I can and hopefully get some feedback on it. 

A fun fact that I think is quite weird about me is the fact that I am the middle child. I have and older and younger sister, we are all three years older and younger than each other. We don’t get along all the time but when you need them most they will come through for you most of the time!

Anyways I hope you enjoyed learning about me and I can’t wait to do more!

Kind Regards 
Zaeeda

Food Tech

i
Hello dear viewer as you know this year I am year 7 and that means that we get to go to tech, at tamaki college. Tamaki college isn't by the way but it is really hard to walk in the sun.


The group I am in is Food tech which means cooking. We have been going to tech for 3 weeks and so far we have made Hot cakes, Patties and Chili Beans. I have enjoyed food tech so much probably because our teacher is super nice, she even taught my sister which is a coincidence to me. 


I would also like to take this opportunity to say Thank you , Thank you for taking out your time to give us a class and not just the food tech teacher all of the teachers.

Going to tech is a really fun way to work together and learn, I work with Farah and Rozaidah we each help clean up it isn't the best job but we do it and everything we cook we take it as a reward. The thing to do in cooking is to be open minded expect the unexpectable (I don't think that a word oh well). Anyways as I was saying in food tech we should try new thing who know it may end up being you favourite dish.

Favourite Things About P.E.S

Hello welcome to this piece of writing I hope you will enjoy. At Pt England School we do a lot of amazing things, and today I will be telling 4 different things I like to do at P.E.S! Read on to find out more.

The first favourite thing I like to do at Pt England school is feed our long finned eels. Last year in july we got a bunch of long finned eels, they are very aggressive and we have learned heap from them. On the first day we had a professional person come his name was dave he brought the eels put them in and even made sure that the eels had the right type of water to swim in. I was super inspired so I went home that night and wrote a presentation about eels I even drew a picture, and it got read and a few months later I go to do a speech in front of the whole school. So that’s one of the things I enjoy doing at Pt England School!

The Second Thing I enjoy doing is helping do jobs around the school. It make me feel like I am apart of this school, it also make me feel like nice and happy that I can always help out and around the school. Being at Point England School means you get a lot of opportunities and I will never miss an opportunity to enhance my future career.

The Third favourite thing I like at Pt England is doing the Robotics Rōpu. In Robotics Rōpu we are helping solve a miniature pollution problem. Our school has started a bincurity project and the problem is that bincurity our recycling team needs help compressing soft plastic. They usually do it with their hands and push it down, but it isn't very hygienic so we are coming up with a solution. That's what we help do on Wednesday Lunchtimes. I like Robotics because we get to create and learn with the engineers from fisher & Paykel healthcare. That’s my third favourite things to do at Pt England School.

My fourth favourite thing to do at Pt England is Extension. At Extension learn about a variety of things it is really fun, I enjoy expanding my learning, and creating something to share with other in the end. In Extension we learn we create and we also share, we have fun trips like going to gravity and kpmg. I our extension group is made up of about 18 students and Mrs Lagitupu, our amazing teacher she Encourages, inspires and pushes us to do our very best and show our true potential all the time. That’s one of the many reasons I enjoy going to Extension, at Point England School!

So that’s for favourite things I like to do at Point England School. I love this school it amazing, helpful and caring and above all we think it always better together. What about your school?

Maths Week 4

Games and Learning

#Home Learning 2019

Hello veiwer here is my home learning for this week. I haven't included my eight times table learning because I already know it and I am to tired to practice it sorry. But if I did practice I would do something about writing them down and saying them out loud.I have my literacy work underneath and underneath that I have my maths work. Enjoy!

Litracy work

The book I have been reading lately is a ella diary I am reading as a fun little activity. I am reading ella diary I am reading the worst camp ever. It is about ella going to camp doing a bunch of cool things. but the fun is not the best thing because princess Peach parker has to ruin all the fun.

I am up to the part where they have arrived and spent the day at camp and that night they went out star gazing and saw a bunch of constellations. Peach Parker has also played a few pranks and already started ruining things. Next they have gathered round to tell spooky stories. thats pretty much all I have read

Prediction 

When they run out of stick for there fire and then they started hearing noises in the woods so they go and check it out. On the way they get pranked a bunch of times and Peach and her friends disappear. It's just Ella and her friend when Peach and all her friends jump out yelling and growling while wearing costumes and everything. The counciler tells them it wasn't funny and make them apologize and they decided that they Peach and her friends shouldn't be here so they sent them back and the rest of Ella cam when quite nicely.

Be A Good Role Model

Welcome to my writing, it’s really cool to know that you want to be a good role model. Today I will be explaining to you what it means to be a good role model and how you can become one, this will be helpful when you are in intermediate. You have come to the right place!

Being a good role model can be easy you just have to put your mind to it. Being a good role model includes think like listening and Co-operating. You can be a good role model by showing your group how to act by doing it. For example you need to stop talking and you have been chatting away a good role model will notice and start listening, and the other will notice and stop talking.

Being a good role model also includes helping out and listening to each other. It mean that when you are in a group make sure you are taking turns, including each other and think about each others ideas. It also mean you should be considerate of other groups. You should also try each others ideas out and if you disagree, don’t be mean about it. This can also be included when you are making decisions with your friends.

Being a good role model is by doing you work and listening to your teacher it also mean that you should work hard and try your best. If you try to do your best you should be willing to take risks and trying new things it also mean that you are trying to stay positive and working together with others. I think that you also try to encourage other to do things they like and not be embarrassed you can help them out if you don’t think you're up for the task.

A good role model can take charge when needed they are afraid to admit there wrong and takes the blame instead of making excuses. For example you want to take a long way to school and you end up being late you shouldn’t blame it on your friends and family you should take the blame and deal with it. You should also take charge when nobody decides and are unsure even if you aren’t sure you can help decide or at least take charge and seek help.

So there you have four ideas of how to become a great role model. It’s not that hard stick to theses rules and soon we can be role model together. I hope these Ideas will help you and you would like more let me know if you do. I also want to say that these easy rule and ideas will help you also learn the point england way which is what we are practicing this term.

Maths Week 3

Hello viewer this week  we had a follow up there is three level year 7 8 and 9. I am supposed to do about 2 but I decided to give my self a challenge and do them all. I think that this wasn't the hard but it was sort of a challenge the questions it what I got confused most of all. I hope you enjoyed!

#Home learning 2019

Hello viewer here is my homework for the week I hope you enjoy I have both maths and literacy and I hope you enjoyed. For my literacy work it is pretty much the same I am reading a book and making a prediction and learning some spelling words and for maths I am leanring my seven times table up to 13.

My book is diary of a wimpy kind the long haul. it about greg heffely going on a road trip to there grandmas house. and things start going down hill due to the fact that thing never seem to go right for greg. 
I am up to the part where they are traveling in there car when greg throws a chip to a seagull and suddenly gets attacked by a flock of them. This is just one of the many things that have just happend he has told us about himself and also about his family. I can relate to greg I am a year 7 at Point England life isn't alway a peice of cake and I am the middle child in my family jsut tryin to make my family happy but things always seem to go wrong.

My prediction is that greg and his family decided to call it a night and start looking for a family they have to go to a few hotel because they don't look very good and also to the fact that there so expensive. I also think that there car run out of gas the next morning and they have to push the car to the gas station where they get told it has broken down and then they have to get it towed and need to get a ride. They also get a ride with a nice couple but the down side is greg has to sit with lugage again. I don't know what else is gonna happen but I think I am close to what will happen.

Here is my maths work I think it's pretty cool. This time I have made a presentation as I have worked harder and made couldn't fit it on a google drawing. The first slide is a maths question the second is a timetable learning activity. Enjoy!

Fiji TO New Zealand

Hello there reader. I am so happy today because my nana finally came she traveled from Fiji To New Zealand. I decided to do a post about this because I think it kinda of funny it turns out my nana was supposed to come yesterday but couldn't due to her passport being expired. We were pretty suprised that not of our other family saw it and told her but it happened. 

But the good thing is she made it in the end. I think that you guys should also make sure your passport isn't expired cause it can be hard on you if there is an emergency overseas. I also want to tell you that when you book your ticket make sure you look at multiply places.

The Treaty Of Waitangi and The Pt England Way

#Home Learning 2019

Hello and welcome dear reader my homework for this week is to read a chapter book, but not completly finish it I have to right what I have read and then predict what will happen next for literacy and for maths I have to solve a word problem and pratice my 6x table it's down the bottom. Check it out!

Things I know About the Book

I have been reading a book called the case of the exploding brains, it written by rachel hamilton it like a part 2 of the case of the exploding loo. so what read the second part and am looking for the first part but it's not in the library anyways. I think that this book is crazy and has alot of things going on and if you have to think about what you've just read to get the story. I think if I had to grade this book out of ten I think I would give it a 9.5 it lost a 0.5 because it's got some hard to pronounce words that are really really long.


What I have Read So Far
 I read the second part and it about girl called Noelle as in Know-All Hawkins she got a sister called Holly Hawkins and there father is a scientist that can get carried away with his inventions, Holly and Noelle's father is in jail for blowing up a public toilet. So one day Noelle and Holly's class is on a musem trip and the trip is cut short they find out that someone has stolen a Moon rock from the space exploring centre. Everyone is qeustioned and is searched but when they fail to find it Holly and Noelle Step in to help find it with there best friend Porter (He secretly has a crush on Holly). Anyways now the kids are interogating there suspects and one of them are Holly and Noelle's Father. Because there father is a scienetist and meets alot of people so he could have hatched together a plan and gotten some outside help to finally snatch the moon rock use to break out of prison. But what they don't know is that the moon rock is not actually a moon rock it fell of a meteorite and landed on the moon and has incredible powers which was frozen but now that it's in oxgyen it has the power to make human brains EXPLODE in 2 weeks.

My Prediction

I think that Holly and Noelle are going to find a clue from one of there suspect whose is just gonna lead them in a wild goes chase and then they are going to find out that it wasn't any of the suspects that had a the moon rock it was one of the muesum staff. I think that the museum staff is working with Noelle and Holly's dad and have some how bribed the suspect to lead Holly and Noelle on a wild goose chase. 

Maths Home Work

I have made my self a little activity were I have to circle the six times table and my sister marked it for me and I think that I have made a pretty good activty and think you should try it out when your learning your time table. I have also showed my working for the question too so have a look at that as well.

DMIC Group Lesson

Hello dear veiwer welcome to my blog here is another post Enjoy!

Today in Maths We did another dmic group lesson. We are learning to be understanding and working togther in a group better. In our groups we had to do team building exercise it was fun and this time we managed to keep the noise level down. 

The First activity we did was using string and rubber bands to build a cup tower it was really fun and pretty easy. My group was the first to finish we stacked the cups and unstacked them in under a minute.

The Next task was to do a break out I thought this one would be really hard but we worked together and it didn't take long for us to crack each lock one by one.

I think that today we worked well and that task for us won't take long.

Lighthouse Blues (Unreal)

Walt: Predict a realistac chapter for a story 

Hello Blog Viewer Today in literacy Mrs Tele'a Read us a short story called Lighthouse Blues. it is very interesting and I encourage you to read it here is a picture of the book. she didn't read us the whole book she read part of it and made us predict the future and write down what we think will happen next, After we wrote our prediction Me and Marika read out our prediction to the class. Here it my prediction and what happend.

Prediction

Anton listens as Stan carries on with his story but was stopped when a loud clap of thunder sounded. I pulled on my coat and we made our way back to the lighthouse. I was almost at the lighthouse when I thought I saw a tall dark figure standing in the shadows I told myself it was a trick of the light but I new deep down I was lying. The thunder and lighting crashed down as Stan and I sat down for dinner we had something that look like salmon and potatoes but it was hard to tell because of the stench that came from the fish.

After dinner I sat on the bed thinking about what had just happened was it a ghost figure I had seen was it Stan’s ancestors playing the music am I dream or it this all real. The storm was loud and hard I thought it might sweep the light house away and the ocean rocked back and forth keeping me awake  I looked out the window to see something that look like an instrument I couldn’t quite make out what it was but if I had to guess I think it was a saxophone.

What Really Happens 

Its about a story where a boy called Anton comes to an Island with a light house and he one day wants to become the light house keeper and the keeper right now is called stan his grandfather and father both died there and there it this strange music that keeps Anton awake all night and he find out that it's the ghost of the dead ancestor who are playing the music at night. He also find out that the light house it going to be replace with another light house that doesn't need a light house keeper
