Reflection on this year.

This is it!, the time of the end of the year has come!. I finally say and turn away with a goodbye to my childhood school. I've made many memories, some bad, most great. I'll remember all the love and erase all the hate. I thank God for helping me through my journey here at this school, it was hard, tiring and not easy, but having to do it all was worth it. I started in 2006 and I'm now signing off. I want to thank all the teachers who've had to put up with my behaviour, and mouth, they've been by my side on my journey here. I have learnt to be more than a leader, I've become more mature and humble. Thanks to everyone here at this school, for making my school years incredible. xx

Cookie Time.

Today we were given the chance to decorate some cookies, thanks to the Te Rangi Tera group. It was so much fun watching people decorate cookies, and eating them too. I didn't join in because I felt a bit sick, but it looked like everyone enjoyed themselves. 

In this image, it shows cookies that were made by my friend. It looks so delicious, full of sweets. Gummy Bears, M&M's, Rainbow Sprinkles and Icing :) YUMMY! 

Spanish Conversation

Today in Spanish, we had to make a conversation. Tangi and I made a conversation in Spanish. 

Try and translate what it means. 

Roots creation.

Today we had the opportunity to be apart of a project that was wide. A group called Roots, came to school to explain it. 

We all had to make an artwork about what we hoped for. Room 7 tweaked up our work by making a Spiral. In this image it shows Tangi and I putting our artwork into bottles. 

The artwork is being put together by the Roots group and then transformed into a wave. The presentation will be put up for show at the waterfront in town. Over 60 thousand people will be seeing the wave, the wave will be up for the whole of summer. When summer comes to an end the bottles will be put up into green houses.

I'm excited for people to see my artwork.

Home Is A Special Place.

{ Opening Statement }

A home, it is a special place for many things. It’s there when something has gone wrong, or when in time of celebration.  A home is the heart of the family, it brings everyone together, in one place where the love of the family began. It’s where YOU belong.

{ Body }

A home.

Firstly, having a home is special, it’s the place where everyone gathers for something important or very special, it brings the warmth of love to everyone. Having a home is where you feel accepted and comfortable.

Secondly, home is where you belong. It’s where you grow and learn the understandings of life, with the help of everyone who loves you. Home is where you learn to laugh, love and to forgive. It’s where you spend your life with those who make you happy and comfortable.

And lastly, my home, I feel that having a home is where I can do and say whatever I please, it’s my personal space. I feel safe every time I’m home, knowing that I’m protected by the shield of my family.

{ Conclusion }

Being able to have a home is a gift. There are many homes in this world, there will always be that one particular place full of love and support. Like it is said “There’s no place like home”

Movenote - Ripper Rugby.

This is my Movenote about Ripper Rugby.

Term 4 is nearly here.

Wow schools just around the corner. I was just thinking, last term was hectic, I wonder how big and busy this term's going to be?. I know that some people aren't looking forward to going back to school, but I'm pretty excited, it's my last term at this school. We've only got 9 or 10 weeks of school, I'm going to try and make the most of this school, because at the end of it all, I'm going to miss it. 

Holiday Task.

Wow the holidays are nearly over. We've only got a few more days and we are all back to learning. Before the holidays began, our school was asked to do one thing during the holidays, read a book.
For the past few days I haven't been on the internet, I've been reading a book, 'Chanda's Secrets' by Allan Stratton. I've read most of the book, and I feel so touched already. I can't wait for the ending. I look forward to writing out my overview of the book.

Holiday Update.

Well yesterday was just terrible. The power was out everywhere!, and just driving around with everything empty. With everything so pitch black, I felt scared to even look, it seemed like a dark ghost town had taken over our streets. Apparently the cause of the power cut, was a fire that blew out the power system. Nothing worked, anything that was electrical was off, and for me I found it hard.

In my last post I mentioned that I was going to Puhoi. Going there meant a lot. It was just calm, fun, and warm. The sun shone, and it made the day even better. We need a sunny day here in Auckland, the weather here isn't good enough. But for now I love the weather, windy and rainy, because I find that it draws family closer.

The Haps For Tomorrow !

Well today wasn't bad. I watched movies with my sisters and cleaned up. Tomorrow I'll be going up north to visit my sister Roseanna, in Puhoi. It's going to be around and hours drive to Puhoi, but going with my sisters and brothers, I know it's going to be fun. I look forward to visiting my sister, I haven't been up north to see her in a while.

Fun Holidays.

What a wonderful night!. I didn't get home till late, but my parents were fine with it. I loved it. Watching two movies in one night, first Step Up, then The Maze Runner. I am blessed to have such wonderful friends, and a wonderful teacher. This just made my holidays fun.

Holiday Time.

Wow, it's the holidays, but I don't have anything interesting happening, which is weird. Tomorrow I'll be going to the movies with Mrs Middleton, her daughter Abby, Dawn & Lose, we'll be watching the new Step Up movie. :) I can't wait for a fun day to come. :)

The Gospel of Today.

Today for prayer we read the Gospel of Matthew. It was about Jesus telling everyone the story about the Father and the two sons. I came out understanding that we should obey our parents. 

I have made a page about my understanding of it. 

Diorama of a Dairy Farm.

In class, we were making a Diorama about a Dairy Farm. My group made a diorama. In this image it shows a cow shed with a cow in it, a cow in the paddock and a tractor. I like what we've done so far but I think it still needs work on it. 

Come & Work For Jesus!
