Orienteering

On Tuesday my class Room 9 had orienteering with Leon. Last week Tuesday he came in to teach us about it and he told us it was kind of dangerous because some people get concussions. Then finally we got to do it this week, our class were so pumped to do it and most of us were ready. We did orienteering around the school even near the pool! It was pretty cool seeing how it was. If something sounds boring to you give it a try it might be as fun as this!

Not So Fast

On Wednesday my group and I did a play from this School Journal called Not So Fast. This is part 2, number 4 and from 2007. The people in my group are Kotipi, Frank and Kate but in the play there was one more person left so Limiteti took it. I was the Second Sports Commentator, Kotipi was the first, Kate was the Coach, Limiteti was Tina and Frank was Sam. It was a sports race but it is more confusing it was to see who was the slowest walker.

My Tangram House!

A tangram is a puzzle made up of 7 shapes. The tangram really challenged my mind to the test to see if I could solve it but I think I failed.

 The first few tries I failed but then Shaniqua helped me figure it out, Mrs Riley showed Shaniqua how to do it. 

One keyboard tip was Shift and the arrow pointing to the right and  another is Alt and the arrow pointing to the left.

Why We All Need To Sleep!

Today, I will explain to you why we need to sleep.

First of all we need to sleep because if we are going somewhere we will be very lazy then the people will think we are lazy. Also, when applying for a job or going to school the next day we will need lots of sleep because people will say “sleep early”.

Next, everyone should at least have eight hours of sleep, if they sleep longer it is fine at least they won’t be that tired in the morning. Sleep can actually help you focus more.

Finally, sleep is important because it can make you grow more and make you smart. Even in dreams it can actually teach you something.

The Time I Was Proud Of Myself...

Intro- Kia Ora today I am writing about when I was proud of myself. It is about when I had a maths test, I did mine late after the others because I was away.

Middle 1-It was in June when it happened, we were doing our science with room 10 then Mrs Riley (my teacher) called me and Nurul to do the test. For each sheet we had 50  questions but the time me and Nurul had was 4 minutes.

Middle 2- The next day Mrs Riley told me my result, when I heard it I was proud of myself a lot. Each of our class got letters like A B C D and E. I got an A- and my friend Kotipi got a B- her score was 131 and mine was 168 which made me an A-.

In conclusion I am very proud of myself and also Kotipi for getting the two highest marks.

Tongan Spit Fires

Spitfires were introduced in The Second World War against Germany in 1939.

They had to prepare fast, they figured out the fastest way to raise money during the war so they danced, had concerts and special market days. There was a lot of money raised but the Queen, Queen Salote wanted her people to raise more money.

Long time ago Spitfires were the best planes in Europe. If they raised five pounds the could buy a plane for their British allies. The queen donated 10 percent of her income and so did the officials and the government.On the first day of March in 1942 the British RAF (Royal Air Force) got a special delivery from the Tongan people, it was a new Spit Fire with Queen Salote’s name on it.

From that time more money was raised there was a second spit fire was presented in November 1943. The second was called Prince Tungi number 2 after Queen Salote’s husband.

The Best Collage Ever!

• In Room 9 we have been learning how to make a comic collage. 
• Each box has a speech bubble and inside it is something that talks about what you should do. 
• I enjoyed creating it because it is fun adding different colours and shapes. 
• If I ever do another comic collage I would try to make a bigger one.
