Persuasive Writing

 So yesterday afternoon we did a argument on some stuff, like (Is fortnite and educational game for us kids) Group 2 had to disagree and group 1 had to agree. We said some facts about why fornite is and educational game for kids, fornite is a educational game for kids because its good for your eyesight and is good for kids, and group 2 was saying some other facts why fortnite ain't a good game for kids, they said its not good for your brain and you can get blind from playing it up closely. Then we went to go back to our classes. 

Term 2 Events

So yesterday afternoon we had to work on our Term 2 events and reflections. I did this because I couldn't think of anything else to do, and we had to clean our files up and file them in the right place. Te Kapua is a shelter that got put in our school and we sat under there for fiafia, sports, and more, the sports I played was basketball and vs dilworth and we lost to them and then we went to St Peter's and vs them and we lost the game. So the disco theme was that we had to wear pj's but we didn't want to so we wore normal clothes. We had lots of fun at disco and memories were made.

Dilworth Basketball Game Reflection

 

Yesterday at Dilworth we had a game against Dilworth. We had 2 teams one was Team A and the other one is Team B. There are four quarters in the whole basketball game. The score was 19 to 44 and we lost to them. I enjoyed playing with them because they were happy never had no fights with us neither arguments. At the end of our game we shook each others hands and said 3 cheers for Dilworth, and they said three cheers for Point England. After that we had a photo altogether and we just finished our game and we went to watch the end of the boys game, and then we went to the bus and went back to school.

Meet Measurement

 

Today for maths we did measurements and it was a bit challenging and hard to do. I really love giving new things ago at school. I want to get better at my maths.

Decimals

 We learnt about decimals yesterday, and we got a decimal slide to complete. Mrs Tele'a told us all about how decimals work, after that we went off and started working on our decimals. We have nearly finished the decimal work sheet Mrs Tele'a gave us. We have to put our names on the copy of the presentation and name it your name. The work is really hard to do thanks Mrs Tele'a for teaching me n my friends about the decimals. 

Samoan Information Report

 Samoan Flag

National flag consists of a red field, background with a blue canton incorporating the Southern Cross constellation in white. The flag's width- to-length ratio is 1 to 2. Introduced on May 26, 1948, the new Samoan flag was red with four white stars on a blue canton: On February 24, 1949, a fifth star was added.

 Samoan’s Population

Samoa had a population of 199.3 thousand in January 2021. Samoa's population increased by 1,524 +0.8 percent between January 2020 and January 2021. As you can see the population has gone a bit small and little. 

The capital of Samoa

The capital of Samoa is Apia. Apia, on the northern coast of Upolu, is the country's only town as well as the main port and centre for services and trade, it contains approximately one-fifth of Samoa's population.

Languages in Samoa

Tongan is the closest to Samoan language. Samoan is from the Austronesian family of languages. It is closely related to other Polynesian languages, especially Tongan. Here is a very cursory overview of the language and some vocabulary. A glottal stop is when you start a vowel with your throat closed, as usually is done in English. On google the information said that the Tongan language was the closest to the Samoan language.

Samoan Drawing

 

Today we had to finish all our Samoan work and finish drawing. I did this because It was easy for me to do, and I like the pattern, and because I wanna learn how to do the pattern more. Practice makes perfect, I kept trying and this was my ending result of my Samoan drawing of the patterns. The pattern is hard to do and long to do.

FiaFia 2021

 Yesterday at 5.30 we had a Fiafia and it was fun and it was a night to never forget. 

My favourite groups were the Tongan girls and many more. I really enjoyed watching all of the groups perform last night and I really loved all the effort we put into all our dances. 

Fiafia is where we get to celebrate and show our talent and dances. It's a festival to watch and really fun! You can buy food before you watch your kid perform, We always perform to songs of our cultures and always make them happy. Thanks Point England School for this awesome experience.  I'm so glad I've joined to school!

Cybersmart Bookmarks

 Today we had to work on our bookmarks and we had to move them to different bookmarks, and delete our old bookmarks that we didn't need anymore because they were from last year. After that we made a copy a slide and talk explain what we had to do.

Online learning

Hi my name is Folau and I have been learning about how to do something cool and you can do a picture, and you can do another picture like a sunset or something and then it makes you look cool and if you want you can use pixably I believe and you can download whatever picture you want.

My Beach

 Ask any kiwi where their favourite beach is. My favourite beach is piha because the water is cold and you can spend time with your family. Piha is good because you can have a picnic there and you can go for swim and you can climb up the big rock walk back down for a exercise. The reason why Piha is my favourite it is because my brother always takes me up there and we get to Mcd's for dinner. Piha us a fun place to go and spend time with your family and relax and watch the sea and watch big waves.

Tech

Yesterday wednesday we went to tech. At tech we learnt about doing stuff with our folders and putting our work stuff in the right folder. It was not that easy because it was a bit confusing and a bit hard to do, because Mr Daniels kept on talking fast and I couldn't understand him properly. After all that fast talking Mr Daniels came to me and I asked him for help. He taught me how to work my chromebook properly and how it works. We have to stay in a specific spot because of covid 19 and stay at least 1 metre or 2 metre  away from the person your next to. Control sometimes can be really hard and can be very easy for people that have been in Mr Daniels class before. After finishing our lesson Mr Daniel gave us some lollie snakes to eat and we went back to school and said thank you to him.

Turbo Touch

 Today at turbo touch we played this game called football touch and it was fun. Football touch was fun because we got cornered and we had fun but the most hardest was you had to run for a minute. After a few matches we stopped and we had a little break from running around to much. Im not going to lie my legs were really out it was like I had no fuel in my legs to run anymore. Most of all it was fun because I enjoyed playing with my friends and helping pass the ball to my teammates and run a lot. 

Cyber Attack

 The New Zealand cyber attack numbers have been increasing. Cyber attack systems on computers can be hacked and they can hack into cameras and shut them down. New Zealand's says they don't know who is behind all of this attacking. The attacker is still unknown and we don't know.

10 years on- We remember Christchurch Eathquake

 Every year in New Zealand the amount of earthquakes 15,000 have occured in New Zealand. Down in christchurch a earthquake had happened and the time was a period of 10 years ago and that is a decade. Christchurch was destroyed and buildings were broken. It  would have been heaps to repair  and it would have cost heaps of money. As you can tell by the photo that whole building collapsed from the earthquake. 

Lockdown

 Lockdown

Me and my family have been busy doing shopping and working. It's been really boring because we always stay home and Im always making coffees for my mum, dad, and grandpa. My mum said to me if you guys go back to school you guys might pick up covid 19, but like my teacher said we don't have to ask him to go for a drink we can eat or drink whatever we want. But it has been hard for me because I really do miss school because home is really boring, but I like staying home because I get to do my chorus and eat sweet food. 

Polishing My Heart

Yesterday at wood tech Mr Grundy told me to work on my heart. I just started with the 400 sandpaper because I finished with the 150 sandpaper. Then I kept on working with 400 then I asked for help from Pita. Then we finished it and I put name up on the board and then he came to me and said come with me. Then he gave me an 800 and then he said to me I have to work on the edges and after 30 minutes I asked, for help again and he gave me the last sandpaper. It was 1200 and after 40 minutes I finished and then I gave it to, Mr Grundy went to go do my heart and said to me ''Now you have to polish your heart''. After I finished polishing my heart it was done and then we had to pack up.
