DISASTER DAY

Today is a funny and weird day for us Point Englanders, because we are having a Disaster Day. This means we are going to have a pretend Earthquake and a pretend Tsunami. When this happens we have to walk to Ruapotaka. We just came back from Tech at Tamaki College and Morning Tea/Interval. Mrs Nua (teacher) just said that their have been little shakes of Earthquakes. I think this is a really funny day. The reason why we are doing this is because if a real earthquake and real Tsunami happened then this is what we have to do. A loud noise occurred then Mrs Nua said to get under the table. I thought she was just joking around, when I was looking around I saw Mrs Nua under HER desk. I could hear people laughing and calling for HELP.

Tonga vs Fiji

What a game against Tonga and Fiji it was a back and forward game. First of all Tonga got a try then Fiji got a try. My Brother in law Scored a try, his position is Half Back. His name is Samisoni. I am very happy that my country tried their best. The score at the end was 38-27. Both teams tried their best. The game is held in Samoa and I am not sure when the competition started. At the end a team has to win or lose. Tonga will be playing against Japan and Fiji will be playing against Samoa. GOOD LUCK TO ALL THESE TEAMS.

Cyber Coaching

Before Morning Tea Mrs Nua said we are having a Surprise from Mr Burt (Principal). At first I thought it was a going to be about food. But my friend said it's going to better then food, she said we might have new uniforms. I thought it can't be about that, when we walked into the hall we saw 4 men's Just smiling at us. I was like it's definitely not about food. When I looked at the stage I saw this big black thing. I thought it was a TV, but then one of the man was touching the screen. Now then I was excited I thought we were going to play video games or something. Mr Burt was talking about this exercises called Cyber Coaching. It was sort of like Jump Jam, but even better. There were variety of dance moves, they combine with exercise moves as well. First we did SALSA, we were all moving our hips side to side. We had a tiring cession of fitness. My favourite exercise was the cheer leading at the hip Hop moves. Mr Burt was talking to the man who owned it, and the sales man. The reason why we had to try out is to see if kids all around NEW ZEALAND would like it. We were Lucky because we were the first school in NEW ZEALAND to try it out and use. Mr Burt had a big decision to either buy Cyber Coaching or not, it costs $ 5,000 dollars. It is fun for all ages.We could see that Mrs Nua and Ms Tito liked it too. After that we had to say our opinion about cyber Coaching they asked us lots of Questions. It's really a good work out for us, because we play lots and lots of sports.

I think the little ones will like it. HOPEFULLY Mr Burt saw us enjoying Cyber coaching and thought to buy it. FINGERS CROSS!!!!!!

NEW SOUTH WHALES VS QUEENSLAND!!!!

YEAH!!!!! I cant wait till this Wednesday, to watch the State Of Origin game.If you haven't heard about STATE OF ORIGINS. Its a team in Australia that players Rugby League, Most of my family goes for Queensland, my brother and I go for New South wales, because my uncle was the only one in my family that went for New South whales, and he died. My brothers are having bets to see who will win. The New South Wales team has a really good line up. I don't know about Queensland. They have terrific players. This game should not be missed. My family is definitely watching it.

GO NEW SOUTH WALES!!!!!!!!!

This week for Tech at Graphics we FINALLY used the Tamaki College computers. We created different shapes for our project, I choose stars we use a tool called Gradient is to blend colours a bit. It is pretty amazing what kind of tools they use for ICT. There computer are similar to ours ,but there keyboard are like little mini ones.

I ENJOYED GRAPHICS THIS WEEK.

The point England Way

The Point England way is really important at Point England School. One of the ways we can try to improve our attitude is by the Korero we have at assembly.It's basically about how we are like during the week, and what do we can do to be better.We have really good rules as well one of the rules I really like is ,treat people the way they want to be treated.The reason why I like this rule is because it is really about treating people like you would want to be treated.We are not allowed to bring Toys or chewing gum to school, the reason why I think that we are not allowed these staff at school , is because you might get disturb during class time.

Tech@Tamaki College

Before we left to go to Tamaki College, We were full of anticipation because this was our first time attending Tech. Mrs Nua was very annoying, because she kept haranguing as we wandered slowly down the road. When we finally arrived there we saw people we knew.We were busy looking at them instead of listening to instructions.We met a man called Mr Grundy, but the teachers told us to call him 'Sir'. He was the wood work teacher. Then we met a lady that taught graphics her name was Miss Fergusson.

That's who I had for my Tech teacher, I was a little disappointed to start off with because I wanted to do cooking. But graphics was pretty cool learning how to write our names in different ways. She had a really cool accent and she was very funny.

I cant wait till next week, you never know what exciting work we will be doing!
