Attitude Talk

Today we had a girl called Jannah come see us. She talked to everyone about friendship and how we can help make and sometimes ruin friendships. She told us that her name meant (gracious gift) in arabic, that's like my name it means peace fortune and luck. Jannah told us about funny stories that happened to her and people she knows.

She talked mostly about friendships and things like that. She's really funny and really relatable. She can be really fun and got us to do things like say compliments and high five each other. She talked about things like all girl friendships and all guy friendships and how they are different and can sometimes benefit us. I was really suprised when she told us that we could learn some thing from the boys.

Another thing that she talked about were friendship myths. She talked about how all of us struggle not just one person and that we need to reach out and help people who feel like that. Jannah told us about a story where her friend Valentine became friends with everyone but didn't have many close friends. She told us to not try and be popular but have some friends.

Jannah also talked to us about things that can hurt and ruin friendships. When she talked about things like that, she mentioned back stabbing and mocking. Doing that can be funny sometimes but not all the time, espacially if you take it too far. Jannah also told us about this one time where she and her friend rented a scooter and her friend drove, when she wanted to drive it wasn't the best. We learnt not to show off because not everyone enjoys listening to you bragging and being extra confidents things like that.

The last thing she talked about was how to make friends, Jannah told us that we should be oursevles and try to get over thing like getting cut out of friend groups. She also talked about how we can make friends bu getting to know things and how we should treat each other nicely.

Overall I really enjoyed learning and laughing at this wonderful presentation. I can't wait till next time, and I really can't wait to try out some of the tips she gave us. I have also finished saying something positive to three people already. I can't wait till next time!

Food Tech

Today we had food tech at tamaki college we have been going there for a while now in case you didn't know. We made macaroni and cheese it was harder than I thought but thanks to Miss H we did it quickly and easily. This dish was deliscous and I think one of my favourite I even got the recipe!

 This time we were pretty experienced and new what to do at times. I even helped other people from other kitchens. Mostly from the kitchen across from us they were kinda of struggling espacially Caleb he didn't have much of a co-operative group.

I learn how to make white sauce which is pretty different in every dish I learnt that onions and milk can be nice it just matter the way it is prepared. My group can't have pig so we had vegeterian bacon which was much drier than usual but it tasted great.

As usual I was in a group of three with Farah and Roziadah and I did the washing again which was much easier even though there were more dishes I guess it's because my team took care of everything else. They are really good at things like this!

I would really like to say thank you to everyone that helps get us to tech keep us safe. Teach us and help us create such wonderful things. I really appericate this and I would like to say thanks you on behave of Pt England School and the Intermediate group.

What Makes A Good Superhero

I want to be a good superhero when I am older but how can I be a good superhero. Do you know what makes a good superhero. No, well in this piece of writing right here I will be giving you 3 things that make a good superhero so stay tuned.

The First step to becoming a good superhero is by risking you own life to help other. Imagine a cat is stuck up in a tree branch that is about to break. Instead of waiting for the fire department, you climb up a ladder and sit on the tree branch to save the cat. That’s what I call a superhero.

Secondly I would like to point out that a good superhero won’t save people or do good things for the fame. I mean even though lots of people would want your autograph and have you on magazine covers and do photo shoots but a good superhero would know better and denied it. If I was a superhero I wouldn’t do it for the fame I would do it to help people and make the world a better place.

Lastly I would like to say that a good superhero always has a superhero sidekick and a superhero team. A good super isn’t afraid to admit there wrong and ask for help that’s kinda what make them so super special. For example when you have no clue of what to do ask people for help and maybe they have a plan and you could consider their ideas at time too.

So there you have 3 different way on how to be or become a good superhero. These three easy things are good to keep on you mind even if you are not a superhero you could help anyone in your very own everyday life. I for one think that we are all are superhero.

My Favourite Food

Pizza would be great right about now, actually pizza is good anytime. Well I don’t know about you but pizza is my nickname. I love pizza dessert pizza hawaiian pizza my mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Firstly I would like to say that pizza is delicious every human being I know would agree with it. Pizza can have dairy from the cheese vegetables from the sauce and sometimes pineapple carbs from the bread and protein if you have meat on it. As you can see this has almost everything on the food table so I would say that pizza is on your balanced diet.

Secondly pizza can come with anything you want. It’s a classic italian food and comes with many different toppings. One things that I would say is pretty interest are dessert pizza. They come will chocolate sauce marshmallows and lollies you want. I would say it’s so sweet you could get cavities just looking at them.

Finally I would like to say that Pizza is a dish that you can have if your on the go or at a party. You can have it for lunch or for dinner, and it’s a great dish to share. I mean imagine you have to make a dish for a family dinner and it’s too late to go by some chicken just go and pick up some pizza on the way home.

So there you have, as you can see from the paragraphs above I know my pizza so take it from PIZZA IS DELICIOUS. Whether they give you cavities our is to spices pizza is a weird different thing. I hope you enjoyed!

My Future Career

Food Tech

Hi viewer as you know we have been going to tech four a few weeks now today we went again. Tamaki college isn't to far by the way but it is really hard to walk in the sun. Today we made another delicous meal.

It was only me and Rozaidah because Farah wasn't here today. We made Veggie Burgers and there was quite alot to do and there were alot of dishes. But we decided to be fast and start washing before the other groups and we got it done before them. 

There was mashing to do dicing and buttering but my group got it done. Now that we know what to do and have gotten use to it is it pretty easy to follow instructions. It's also easier to see what needs to be done and what we can do better. It's also better if you help out your group more than other even if it means you do more that everyone else. 


Going to tech is a really fun it's way to work together and learn, I work with 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. 

Once again I would also like to take this opportunity to say Thank you to all the teacher who are helping give us these classes every week I can't wait to learn more and I also can't wait to try out these recipes at home.

A Special Place

Pt England is a very special place, it is special to me at least. From the sports teams Miss Va,a fusuanga organizes to the productions from Mr Jacobsen puts on our school does a lot of crazy fun things. Today’s writing introduces why I think Pt England is a special place, read on to find out more.

P.E.N.N is put on by our talented year 5-8 students and is watched by the whole school at some point during the day.  The real reason we even have P.E.N.N is because of Mrs Lagitupu, she come to school every morning opens up the creative space and lets most of her P.E.N.N crew in. Soon after Mrs Lagitupu gets to work on the script for the presenters, I have been a P.E.N.N Presenter many times so I know how this goes. Anyways we bring in the, might I add ancient screen, and we start setting up the tripod camera and microphone. After the crew has rehearsed we start to film, once finished filming it’s time to edit and finally publish into the students room folder for the teachers in class to find and show to the children of the school. So that how P.E.N.N gets made and is one of the many special things at Point England Next one.

The Next cool thing about Point England school is that we have loads of camps, some on our school field and some in another island. But wherever they are the teachers work hard to make sure the children are having fun. The first camp you have in your life at school is in year 5 you get to spend a few days eating sleeping and doing fun things at school. You sleep in a tent on our school field and before you even go on camp your teacher are freaking out about your permission slip your gear your camp payments and groups camp items and activities they hardly get enough rest at all. So when the kids are at camp they make sure they a doing the right things being grateful and try to give their teachers a break.

The the third great thing about Point England is the sports. We have some really great teams sports and coaches. Our school has tons of sports teams Netball, Rugby, Softball Volleyball, Hockey, and the person behind it is Miss Va,a fusuaga and her team of helpful Coaches and Managers. People in famous sports teams that use to come to Point England school along time ago. We even have a bunch of player who haven’t be recognized yet but don’t you worry they will have their time to shine.

The last Amazing thing I want to tell you about is our productions. Here at Point  England every 2 years we have our very own productions. When I was in year five the production was live stream it about animals who have such a polluted creek they needed to find a new home and that’s they set off to do. I auditioned and got to be a pink salmon I got to sing dance and act it was really fun doing dress rehearsals and singing songs. I was also a palm tree to was so calming doing the dancing and the headdresses were amazing. Mr Jacobsen and a bunch of other teachers had out done themselves making sure everything was perfect, in the end seeing everything come together itself really made it seem like magic.

Another spectacular thing about Point England is that it  encourages what every the students want to do when there older. Our school also give us lots of learning opportunities like the Epro8 and the feeding eels. Whether it engineering singing or acting our teacher encourage us to do what we love best. I want to be a doctor and I because of our amazing teachers I don’t think that it will be a problem at all I have to do is work hard.

So that if some of the many amazing things at Point England School. As you can see we are all hard working caring student and we like to try our best no matter what. I think that our school is very amazing and thanks to this writing I hope you do too!

Summary: If I had to sum up this it was pretty good the only thing was I needed to improve was the amont of time I spent writing and the amount of time I spent proof reading. The buddy I shared it with was Marika and she said I just need to do a few things to fix up my writing otherwise it was really good.

The Thing I want to do next time is that I want to get the writing done faster cause last time I didn't get time finish and proof read all of it but I think that I did do well.

Code Club

This week I decided to join the year 7&8 code club. I think  really enjoyed it and I found that it was easy fun and entertaining. I really like how we are learning together these are on of the small opptuinities our school gives us. 

I have made and about me which I have just started but I will keep carrying on with it later. I think I am on the right track and with the help of Amira I will be all caught up. Even though I am doing alot of things at the moment I am sure that this will be a fun way to relax and just make something cool.

I will keep you posted in some of the things I have done. I will be sure to post every 2-3 weeks about code club so keep checking.

Here is a picture enjoy!

Food tech (Week 4)

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. Today we made another delicous meal frittata.


The group I am in is Food tech which means cooking. We have been going to tech for 4 weeks and so far we have made Hot cakes, Patties and Chili Beans. This week we made fritata and it was soooo good!


 Once again I would also like to take this opportunity to say Thank you to all the teacher who are helping give us these classes every week I can't wait to learn more and I also can't wait to try out these recipes at home. 

Going to tech is a really fun it's 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. 

Louge Or Bedroom

Which do you prefer a tv in your lounge or your bedroom? Mrs Telea just got a new flat screen and hasn’t decided where to put it, she is debating on either her lounge or her bedroom. In this writing I am explaining where I think her tv should go, read on to find out more.

I honestly think that the tv should go in the lounge. It’s better when you watch a movie together with your family or families. I mean when you have friends and family over you probably want to sit in the lounge and talk maybe watch a movie together. It will be a lot more efficient especially if you don’t keep your room tidy.

The Second reason the tv should be in the lounge is because you don’t want people coming into your room at the wrong times. You don’t want people coming into your room when your sleeping or doing important work. For example when someone wants to watch their favourite show they will most likely come into your room, as an excuse they will just say there isn’t a tv in the lounge.

Another Reason I think lounge being the best place to put the tv is because it’s hard when you share a room with someone. Sharing a room is not easy you have conflict almost all the time,I speak from experience. Imagine the sibling you share your room with is a night owl they will stay up watching tv and when you try falling asleep it will be impossible.

The last reason I think the tv should go into the lounge room is because you will most likely get addicted. By that I mean if you have a tv in your room you will most likely never want to leave your room, you will always want 5 more minutes which usually go on for an hour. If you don’t leave your room you probably won’t do much housework and much work for school. It also means that you would eat a lot of junk food, when you watch movies you probably love to eat popcorn chips and drink fizzy.

In conclusion you should have your tv in your lounge cause you won’t get to attached. You will have the right amount of sleep and you probably have another way of hiding your extremely messy room. So here is what I think, but if you decide to chose your room remember these things.
