Choir.

Choir, Drama and Music!

I wanted to join the choir because I like to sing and because it's so fun. Most of my friends joined in with me and we practiced the words together.Learning the words were sometimes boring but at least we got to perform in front of heaps of people. I made my parents proud that night. Here are the songs we performed at the town hall on our big choir night! Just simply press the link below. Hope you enjoy. Thanks!!!!

Maths.

This statistical investigation was a complete success. We got to sell the popcorn at our school gala and we made an amazing profit for our school. The profit went towards the school so that we could buy a school van for inter school sport day transportation.

Statements:

The most popular popcorn flavour was the smoky bbq flavour because 29 people loved it.

The least popular flavour were butter and chicken and only 4 people liked it.

The difference between the most popular flavour and the least popular flavour was 25%.

Physical Education!

Basketball:

I am proud of basketball because the last time I played basketball I did not know how to play the actual game but now that I have been trained at school I know what to do! Now it is my third favourite  sport also because I like spinning the on my finger and passing it to my buddies.

The things that I can do now that I couldn’t do before are shooting the ball from a long distance, how to bounce the ball through my two legs and do passing tricks like putting the ball up on your head then fake passing it then shoot for a goal. I can now also do now is side stepping and dribbling the ball at the same time!  I got the best instructor/coach, teacher for basketball ever!!!!!!!

Art!

Room 15 Jigsaw Art

Self Assessment Form

Please make a copy before you begin!

1.I have used enlargement skills to create a jigsaw artwork with our class: Yes I reckon that my piece of the puzzle is creative, big and colourful!!!!!!!!!

2. I have used a range of pastel techniques:

I have definitely used most of the techniques and thats my favourite part!

3. I have looked closely at the colours on the small piece and used the same colours on the enlargement: I think that I have done most of my colour enlargement!

4. I have blended the pastels using different colours:

I blended some purple with the blue to make it look like the right texture. I love it.

5. What I would do differently next time:

I would lighten the colours a bit and blend/swipe my colours to make a perfect piece.

6. Other comments (what I like best and why, what I don’t like and why):

I loved my art techniques, the one with the orange stripes spread out on the yellow background. This is my positive, I have no negatives.

I LOVE MY ART WORK!!!!!!!!

Miss Lewis’ Comments (leave this space for Miss Lewis to complete):

I agree with you Fa’asua, you have done a great job. Your blending using shades of orange and yellow looks really effective and you have created depth.

Thankz!

To Mt Roskill,

Thanks for the awesome invitation to your exquisite play!

It was a lovely experience for me and I think I am speaking for everyone.

I loved how all your actors and actresses spoke loud and clear and used expression. The great dancing techniques they used, especially the boys doing the slap dance. That was a great idea!

Your play was like watching a comedy/musical T.V show. Wally and Mavis, I reckon they were one of the funniest actors. But in my opinion, I reckon that the most funniest person there was that foot stool guy. He was a crack up comedian, well to me. I loved the background settings of the ‘Old Grand Theatre’ and also the other props. I saw a couple of familiar faces in the choir, orchestra and mostly the actors. The choir were great at singing the songs because the harmony was pleasant to my ears . Even the orchestra did a fine job of playing the instruments. I loved the bongo drums. You guys at Mt Roskill are  talented. I loved your sound effects like when the puppy was dropped and also the costumes and little details (mostly the guy with the mustache Pier?)

‘Behind The Curtain’ is now my favourite play because you guys performed it to us.

Thanks again for having us there and I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of the year!

Thank You Mt Roskill!!!!!

Your Sincerely, FAASUA!

Cross Country Poem! By Faasua!

This is a 2 lap WINNER!

CROSS COUNTRY!!!!

Red Faces and sweat around my color, It hurt every step I took in between that hour. I ran then walked then started to jog, before I knew it I finished the job. People cheering me on when I started to sprint, My breath smelled yuck when I finished so I took a Mint. I did not win a place but at least I participated, my mum gave me a burger and then I ate it.

Blue Bird!

BLUE BIRD!

In the beginning there was a little blue bird. This little blue bird flew into a school full of children laughing at a boy. It’s mind was stuck on this lonely, sad, shy also depressed boy. Blue bird found himself rising every time the lonely boy moved. It followed the boy to his classroom, outside and everywhere the little boy went.

The clock stroke 3:00 and the boy left school, unknowable that the little blue bird followed him behind. Suddenly the blue bird caught up and they walked together till they went by a circus bus. While the little bird was staring at the bus the little boy noticed that there was a shop near by. So the little boy got a cookie and again began walking with the blue bird. They came by some children playing with some paper boats. Blue bird landed on one and the children made friends with the lonely boy. But now he is not lonely he has new friends. The boy and the girl gave him a paper boat for him to keep!

They were so grateful and happy…….. UNTIL……………….

they came by a forest. In that forest there were three bullies. It was as if the bullies were waiting for them. Suddenly the bullies attacked them. They tried to run away. A stick came surfing in the air about to hit the boy…………. but wait it didn’t, it hit the blue bird. The bluebird was badly hurt. Tears came dropping down the boys little face. The bullies never imagined that this would happen so they were scared. So scared that they ran away and never came back. A bird came but it wasn’t blue it was red. Then came another and another and another different coloured bird! There was a lot of birds around…... Colourful birds in fact. These birds lifted the boy which I now decided to call ‘Jackson’ up, up and up into the blue sky. Happily the boy said bye to his feathered friend and blue bird flew away behind the clouds. Ahhh……. what is next for this little boy? Maybe he could play with his new friends. Who knows what lies ahead maybe another adventure is about to begin!!!!!!!!!

This is a story I have seen because this book is a special book. It had no words, just pictures. I had to predict what was happening in this story and make up my own words for this piece of work! Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Moment In Time! Writing Test Work Model 2014!!!!!!!!

A Moment in Time

Write to describe this moment in time ….

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Start your writing here:

Hearing segals argue as if they were fighting over a meal, letting the fresh wind punching my face! Smelling a delicious barbecue near by wishing that I could join that happy family for a feast. The white puffy clouds floating above my head. The perfect crystal clear sky teaming up with the bright shining sun making my eyes watery. It got me thinking about their reflection in the dark blue sea. Ahhhhhh… it’s a great day for a picnic.

I caught something in the corner of my eyes. It was a graffiti painting word on the shed. I think it’s a warning. It looked as if that the word spelt ‘BEWARE’! I begin to panic so I looked around to see where my friends were.

I was so furious to see that my friends are leaving me out of a plan. What are they doing I wondered. They start to walk towards me counting down from five. All of a sudden six strong hands pushed me off the high wharf! Floating in the midair for a millisecond listening to my humerous friends laughing then plunging down to the still, calm water. It’s not going to be still for long!

I splash into the exploding water surprised that I am not angry at my friends any more.


This is a piece of work I had to do for a writing assessment about what is happening in the current picture we can see. It helps us with our inferring and guess/predictions on a image or thing!

The Twisted Story Of Snow White!

Snow Whites Big Day!   My version

Once upon a time there was a beautiful, fair teenager. She loved every single animal in the world. She was so happy……. UNTIL……. one day she went to get flowers for her rainbow coloured garden when the EVIL QUEEN’S half ugly and handsome soldiers came and poisoned her. When she woke up she was in the arms of the soldiers. They took her to a dark and scary place. There ,in the dark, lied a factory with red gue on it dribbling down from the roof! They walked right through the solid wall which took Snow White to a strange place. The sign said ‘Don’t be shy and buy one of the most delicious apple syrup made with the most horrible things on earth.’ The soldiers set her free and shoved her into the factory.

After she was in, there was no way out, the walls were solid. She decided to look on the bright side of things. “Hmmm. What should I do. Oh who are my workmates.” She walked to a door, curious of what was behind it she opened the door then quickly put her hands in front of her blue eyes.

“ SNOW WHITE!!!!!”. She opened her eyes and found out that there were thousands of fairy tale characters there like: The three little pigs, Red riding hood, Prince charming, Rapunzel, Sleeping beauty, even the Big bad wolf was there.

“That looks like a yummy treat” said the big bad wolf.

“That’s not fair I thought we were more yummier” said the three little pigs.

“Hands off boys she’s mine” said Prince Charming.

Suddenly out of no where the Evil Queen came busting through the door.

“What is this disgraceful ruckus!” said the Queen. Snow White was so scared she change the subject.

“Uh, uh mmy Queen.” Snow White Hovered. “Uh when ddo wwe get ppaid?”. There was a moment of silence then a smile cracked on the queens face.

“ Bwahahaha, you think you are working here to get paid with money.” She laughed more and more. She didn’t notice that a spider was hanging down on a string of silk. That spider was the best spider that Snow White knew!!!

The spider thought carefully and said to himself “It’s time for me to sacrifice myself for my friend.” The spider counted to 3 then jumped right into the Evil Queens mouth but missed. The Queen saw the spider then had a quick flashback to when she was young. She remembered that a spider bit her in her class. Everyone laughed at her screeching scream. She stopped laughing and screamed like never before and had a heart attack. After a few years everyone in the factory lived happily ever after. What lies next in this story of Snow White, maybe a next adventure is waiting to be UNLEASHED!

THE END!!!!!!!!

This is a piece of writing I had to do which is called Quick Writes! The reason why we did this is because we need to get fired up everyday when we are righting and it helps us use more of our imagination to create fun fairy tale stories!

WICKED WIND-BLAST WEDNESDAY!!!! BY Fa'asua Pepe!

Wicked Wind-Blast Wednesday! 11/06/2014 JUNE: What Affected me!!!!! CRASH! BANG! WOOSH! Woah, what was that? Wednesday 11th of June 2014, a huge storm had woken me up in the middle of my sleep. Instantly I stood up and looked out my window. Then a surprised look went up my face. Wow! There were tree branches everywhere. I looked across the street to see the people living across the road from my house and saw that they had their huge tent floating above their house. Suddenly, bit by bit, small pieces of my houses roof came dangling down my window like a volcano erupting it’s fiery rocks except the parts of my roof weren’t on fire. CRASH! My rubbish bins standing outside my window had fell and there were rubbish everywhere. I looked around to see if there were anymore destruction. I thought the storm had finished but then I caught something in the corner of my eye. A huge tree branch came wandering around my driveway. I stood there for a moment figuring out if my mum and dad heard it. So I went to my parents room to check but I soon found out that my parents were still sleeping like little angels. I went back to my room and lay down on my bed. I wanted to sleep but I couldn’t because of that loud ruckus outside. To be honest I was pretty scared myself. I didn’t worry that much. I decided to have one last look. I looked outside but I heard nothing. It had stopped. Then I hopped on my bed and started sleeping! THE END!!!!!! This is about a serious situation in Auckland/NZ 2014. Bad weather has been crossing Auckland, New Zealand in winter. Trees had fallen down on electrical wires. An estimate of 90,000 homes had no power. Police has found out that 3 people had died in this storm. In the morning of this horrible incident people have found tree branches everywhere, glass windows smashed by trees, the wind and power lines. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS!!!!!

My Descriptive Writing About My Favourite Person!!!!!

Writing Sample Term 2 2014 28 May My Favourite Person. When my dad hugs me his muscles make me warm and secure that is why he is my favourite person!!!! He takes me everywhere I want to go and he will always love me. I love the way he stands up for me when my mum is angry. He’s also proud of being a tongan like me. Me and my dad are like twins because we both like rugby and we both like the same ice cream flavour which is tropical mango. Mmmmm. My dads hair is short and has a little hill in the front of his head. He’s tall, strong and fast, he also wears his work clothes because he works a night shift till 5:00 in the morning and to lazy and tired to change and his eyes are half closed. He’s got brown eyes and has the same nose as me. My dad is a smart, funny, kind, caring, sporty, a fit kind of person and always has a joke ready to crack. When he’s looking after me it’s like world hunger has disappeared because he takes me out to Burger King, KFC and Mcdonald's! (Which is basically the fast food places!) He pushes me up in school work because he wants me to have a good education and have a great job when I grow up. He tell’s my family to read the bible because it’s the word of our heavenly father and it will make our reading better. He’s always looking on the bright side of things and that is why I love him and he’s my favourite person!!!!!! This is my piece of writing I did in a test and it is about my favourite person, which is my dad! I love him and he loves me. I love you dad.

What is a BLOG!

BLOGGING!

BLUE HAT    RED HAT   GREEN HAT   YELLOW HAT   BLACK HAT   WHITE HAT

What is a blog? WHITE hat

At May Road School, 2 classes

(Rm 15/Rm 14) have been given the privilege to have chromebooks. When we are on our chromebooks we go on something called blogs. Our blogs are a magical place to be. A blog is a website where you select a piece of work from your drive and download it to your wonderful blog. It’s also a place where your other relatives from a different country can see your awesome work and if you look on your blog page, on the left you will see a world map and on that world map you will see a flag and that means someone is on you blog. You can comment on other peoples blogs, also when you post something bad on your blog you can not delete it but your teacher can!

This is my feelings about our blogs: Red Hat Thinking!

I feel proud about my blog because when I post my work on it, my family and friends go on it and see if I have achieved on my school work!(If I do I get Burger King!) I also feel excited because when someone writes a great comment on my blog and I don’t know it’s like a mystery kind of secret!

Green hat thinking!

I can get new ideas from other peoples blogs and then put the ideas in my own words then post it on my page! I could put pictures on my blog and I also can use my blog as a time capsule! If I was a parent now I can also use my blog to remember what I did in the past!

BLACK HAT THINKING!!!

One rule on blogging is that we can not give away private information about ourselves. Also  people can write bad comments on your blog and you might accidently give away private information.

Yellow hat thinking!!!

The good points about blogging is that you can share your ideas with others and it is a good opportunity to show the world what you can do. Also people can make suggestions to improve your work!!!!
