Isabell And Tias Political Party

So today 9kro presented their presentations. We were put into groups to create and share your own party. There were 4 groups with 4 different parties. There were all kinds of parties including our cancer awareness party. The reason why we chose cancer was because we wanted to help those who are diagnosed with cancer to beat cancer. Both Tia and I stood up to present our political party slide I felt confident and nervous. I felt a little nervous because i thought i would muck up some words. Fortunately all went well and i was able to speak with confidence. Mr Go mentioned we had a great color code theme that was used for our presentation and suggested we could explain where the money would come from.I sure did enjoyed working on this presentation because i generally care for those suffering from cancer. I thoroughly enjoyed presenting it to my class. 

Homemade Burgers🍔🍔

Today at food tech we made homemade beef burgers. Our burger was made up of vegetables and meat. The meat was ham and mince beef patties and the veges were onions, tomatoes and lettuce. And the seasonings were herbs  salt & pepper. It took us about 25 minutes to prep and make our beef burgers. The outcome was delicious and mouth watering!! Todays food tech was enjoyable.🍔 

Minister Of Women Affairs

If i was the minister of women i would protect us women and have a meeting with the minister of facilities and ask for a meeting and talk about the problem of domestic violence should be charged more time in prison. Women fear men may come out or escape prison and rape them again.
I would spend money on 2 types of programmes that help mothers and teenage mothers that need advice, food and clothing. The next programme would be for boys and men only dealing with anger issues and respect towards women. Giving women privacy.

A Productive Weekend

In the weekends my sister and I went to my dads house. We stayed there till it was dark. While we were there we played outside and went swimming at Glendowie beach. The beach was full of people splashing and bombing. I jumped off the wharf with fear. But as I jumped I got used to it. I also started doing cannon bombs. Later on my sisters and aunties and cousins arrived. It was a hot day but the water was cold and deep. After swimming my dad took us out for dinner and ice cream. For dinner we had chicken and chips at my aunt's house. Then we showered to get the salt water out of our bodies. We rested there and played for a few hours, At approximately 10:00 my sister and I went home. It was a tiring day.

Today early in the morning we received our awards from last week's cross country, relays and sprints. I was given the bronze certificate. I came 3rd in the race. Others also received bronze, silver and of course gold!. The next award was for completing patrols this year

There are 4 classes at the moment who have already moved. The classes are rooms 4,5,6,7 and 1. They moved because of the roofing and new carpets. Room 5,1 and 6 have moved to the assembly room and room 7 moved to the old room 11 room. A couple of students from room 12 had to help which was hard work. We moved a lot tables,chair, cubby holes and wheelies.

Athletics day at Ruapotaka School

Athletics has been past and im sitting here happy and nervous free. On athletics day the years 1-8 ran on the track and the fastest people did relays. The year 8s and 7s ran 200m and 800m pheww!. It was such a exhausting day. Tired legs and a dry throat. I ran 3 of them and came 3rd. I was proud of myself. It was such a hot burning day.  Here are some photos.

Room 12's Film

Room 12 made a fantastic and fun video on some advice and tips on rugby. The film was called rugby values. Everyone participated in the film. It took a lot of filming and editing. I enjoyed acting. The film was also played at the Hoyts Sylvia park cinema. I had two little kids to look after. I had to take care of them, so that we couldn't lose anyone. I enjoyed acting as a coach/referee.  

🔥🎆GUY FAWKES🎆🔥

Guy Fawkes, also known as Guido Fawkes, the name he adopted while fighting for the Spanish, was a member of a group of English Catholics who planned the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Fawkes was born and educated in York. Guy Fawkes day is a day where everyone spends a heap of money on expensive fireworks and sparklers. They light it up at night time it shoots in the sky at night.🌃

Yesterday after school i ran home quickly full of happiness. As i arrived home my mother was in the lounge waiting for us to arrive. As i came up to the drive way i saw my mum ready with all the carved pumpkin baskets, costumes and candy! As i went inside my little siblings changed in to their costumes. My sisters was a bat and a snow white. I got changed into black widow. Then we went to my cousins house and whited for them. There was a lot of costumes such as ninja, a nun, watermelon and a prisoner. I went to two Halloween night parties. The parties were named trunk n treat and another party at my cousins friends house. It was crowded with people in a tiny backyard. I had so much FUN!😉😌💜

Sunday Afternoon

Last week Sunday was a very special occasion for the people who go to church. This special religious occasion was White Sunday. It basically means everyone has to wear white to church. In some churches kids age 3 years old-11 year old  present their presentations in their white beautiful dresses.

 At White Sunday there were group singing and solo singers. The occasion took 2 hours. It was held at a Mormon Chapel on Taniwha Street. After the presentations were finish the kids and youth went into a room where we could eat and have a big feast. 

The kids had finger foods like hot chips, sausages, nuggets, drinks, fruit pops, fruit sticks and heaps more. My family friends and member had a umu. In the umu it included chicken, lamb, pork, Lu, yams, corn, chop suey and more.

🎈The Holidays🎈

In the holidays I went to my niece and cousins birthday. They both had the same birthday but my cousin had hers a day after my niece. For the two birthdays my uncles and cousins made an Umu a traditional underground oven. Islanders make Umus for special occasions. We put yam and different kind of meats. The food was cooking underground while two pigs were cooked on the top. This is another traditional way of cooking pig. But first of all my uncle took out the guts and the stomach that was in the pig and also cleaned it. While the men and boys cooked the meat my aunties and mum made salads, goodie bags, set up the table and the barberque. At 2:00 pm the party started a lot of family members, friends and church people came to the birthday they brought shoes, clothes more presents, food and a lot of money for my niece and cousin. It was a tiring day but I had lots of fun. The birthday was held at the backyard of my aunties. 

Color changing

How do the colours change when we spin a coloured disc?

The colours change by combining two different colours together and spinning it. Once it spins fast, it changes the colours slightly. When the colours red and green are spun together on a spinning wheel it produces the colour pink. The colours

only change depending on how fast your speed is. If its slow the colours wont change, if its fast the colours will change.  

Cross Country 4/9/17

Last week for cross country we ran around the streets. The year 7's had to do three laps and for the year 8's was four laps🏃. We had ten minutes of time to run. I got a stitch most of the time. I was also told to run most of the time. Some from room twelve ran three laps and a couple ran four laps. I enjoyed running around the block. 

Orienteering 22/8/17😓

Last week we did orienteering with Mr Leon. It was a different task we had to do. It included lots of running and collecting blocks. We were given sheets of paper that had maps around the school. We had to look for the blocks by looking at the map and facing it north. It was really hard because it was freezing out there and also trying to find where the blocks were hidden. Some were on trees and between buildings. We had fun.💖

😐NO TECH!!!😐

Every Wednesday the senior students go to Tamaki college for technicraft but today I didn't go because of the slippers I wore to school. They do not allow slippers in technicraft. There are dangerous things in the room like knives and cutting machines. I was put in room 1. I helped the kids with reading and maths. To be very honest I actually had fun in room 1.
