Dictation Practise

KungFu Pigs

Once again, Pig and Wolf came face to face and things aren't looking to good for the pigs. Who will protect the Emperor? Is there anyone who will answer his high pitched squeal? Anyone at all? Better bang that gong, Ping Pong!

I am O inky no ho, adviser to the great Ping Pong, and Priest of the monastery of wudahling. I am here to tell you of the Kung Fu Pigs, and of how they fought to defend our lands against the most evil traitor, the crimsontroter ( he who keep the company of the wolves). In this tale you will learn of bandits and foul play. Of magic swords and evil spells.and so, honourable stranger, let us begin...

Video Conference with Hawaii

Early today the year 7 and 8 Extension Group had the privilege of having a video conference with Kea'au and Nanakuli Elementary Schools. We talked about the kinds of technology Point England School uses and the different kinds of native birds and plants there are in Hawaii. They also told us a lot about the Tsunami Museum the story was told by a teacher named Brynn. Each school shared something about their culture and what they do in class or around the school. 

To share what we do at school we showed them a video of things like the technology we use and the awesome teachers we have. The whole point of this Google Hangout was because a Hawaiian waka called the Hokule'a is going sail down to Pt England Reserve on the 24 of March and all the Manaiakalani schools will come down and sing a Waiata that will greet the Hokule'a and its crew members, I think the whole point of this waka sailing around is to teach people about the traditional navigation ways that the Hawaiian use.

Becoming an Ambassadors

Something Special

Becoming an Ambassador

In 2013 in Term 4 I was chosen by Mr and Mrs Burt to be one of the school Ambassadors, I was chosen along with 6 other students same age and year their names are Jordan, Aaron, Marilyn, Khaia, Ariana and Elizabeth. Over the holidays in December Mrs Burt gave me and the other students a task, it was to memories a long mihi so that when we start school in February she will call us and we would have to present it to her.

While waiting for Mrs Burt to finish setting up she had told us to sort out who was going first and who was going last, no one wanted to go so then Elizabeth volunteered to go first. Then Mrs Burt said “ nice work Elizabeth “ then Mrs Burt turned to us and said “look at her she is strong Beautiful and has courage that is what you need to become an Ambassador.

After that it went Khaia, Jordan, Me, Aaron and then Ariana. When I was speaking I was really nervous I also forgot my lines but likely Mrs Burt was prepared she had put the mihi up on the projector screen. Half way threw the script I started to build up my confidence.

When everyone had finished Mr Burt came in and then they started talking Mrs Burt was saying that there are only 6 places but then Mr Burt said that we were all amazing and he said that they had 7 ambassadors last year why don’t we have 7 ambassadors this year so we all became ambassadors.

Introductory Letter

Talofa lava and welcome to Room 2 my name is Collin Nouata and I am year 7 at Pt England School.

I enjoy sports because it is fun and energetic. Some of the sports I love to play are touch, tag, rugby league, rugby, and waka ama.

In my family I have three siblings. Two sisters and one brother named Cullai, I am also the middle child. My eldest sister Jay’lee attends Auckland girls grammar School and my younger sister Jane comes to Pt England. My Family and I love to watch movies together, we also enjoy going out to rugby games.

I was born in Auckland and I grew up in Mangere. The school I went to was Rowandale and I went to Mc Naughten Kindergarten. I came to Glen Innes when my mum met my dad in 2007. I started Pt England School  when I was 7 years old and my first teacher was Miss Glaze.

My hobbies include sports, reading books, and playing games. In my spare time I like to watch youtube videos on my computer. When I grow up I want to be a league player. Shaun Johnson inspired me because he plays in the warriors and my family loves them.

My favourite subject in school is writing. I like it because I get to write fun and adventurous stories. My least strongest subject is maths because some question I don’t understand.

Some of my favourite foods are lollies, chocolate cake, and more junk food but when I’ve eaten too much junk I feel like eating some steak and veggies maybe with some mash potatoes as well. One of my favourite foods to eat at Sylvia Park is Butter Chicken

This letter is coming to an end so I am really happy being in intermediate, also I will try my best at all the task my teacher gives me and I will try to be more focused.

My Goals For Term 1

These are my learning goals for 2015

First Day In Year 7

Yesterday was the first day back at school and it was incredible, I met a lot of great students and the teachers in team 5 are really cool. My teacher is Miss Clark and she is really fun. I've already made many new friends and they are awesome. I really think this term will be the best.
