Why you should always tell the truth - Literacy Planet

Today room 3 had been Reading some articles of Literacy Planet. For todays Reading I decided to read about " Why you should always tell the truth". Here are some things I found out. 

In the original story, The Adventures of Pinocchio, written between 1881-1883, the author Carlo Collodi depicts a wooden boy who has all the characteristics of a real boy, albeit, a very naughty boy. As soon as Geppetto, his father, creates Pinocchio in his workshop (for Geppetto is a woodcarver who dreams to have a son), Pinocchio immediately gets up to all sorts of mischief. He laughs at Geppetto and runs away from him. He lies and tells all sorts of fanciful stories to avoid getting in trouble. Pinocchio quickly learns that telling a lie will help him avoid getting into trouble at least in the short term.

I recommend you guys to read this story because it helps you not to lie, always tell the truth and become a better person. This is a really fun and true story to read. This story has helped me and taught me a lesson and that is , to always tell the truth right or wrong! I give this story a 100 star rate...

Explanation Writing - Special Place - W4T4

 A special place:

Hello to all! Today's Writing is going to be about “ What My Special Place Is”. I hope you enjoy it :)

My special place is School.

School is my Special place because I have very loving friends. I have friends I've known since I was 5 years old and I'm now 13 years old. I have enemies, I have friends and I have bestfriends, my friends are my heart and priority when I step one foot in our School gates!.. In 2020 last year, I met this lovely girl Hannah. We became friends at first then we started getting to know each other… Then in 2021 we found out that we were related, that she was my niece I hadn't seen in a long time because she was living over in Australia. 

Secondly I didn't just learn Math, Reading, Writing ETC, I learnt to be a better person. When I started Pt England School, I didn't think that I would be the person I am today. Loving, Grateful much more… If I hadn't joined this School 7 years ago, I don't know what person I’d be today if I’d been a bad influence, not setting a good example or leading the way. This School has helped me through all of my tough times, and my siblings as well, and I'd love to say if your going to be attending this school through your years, I give it a 10 star rate because they are loving like their your own family.

Sports is one of the main important reasons I come to School. It's like a therapy thing I LOVE to do when I'm feeling a bit down or had a bad day. My main sports are Rugby League, Rugby Union, Volleyball, Rippa Rugby, also very much more..  I love to play outdoors everywhere I go, especially at School or Home. I enjoy playing sports with my friends here at School, and I hope that I can still be friends with my sisters & brothers in the future. Sports helps me with my Anxiety and all, also I'd love to become a NRL player when I get older as my Home Class teachers son Tanielu Tele'a inspires me to achieve my goals.

I come to my Special Place everyday now. I just didn't think staying home during the level 3 lockdown would make me happy, so I decided I would come to bubble school. School is a really fun place to me, especially if you come to Pt England.

What is your special place?

Why is it your special place?

Do you love going there?

Task Description: Today Pt England year 7&8s done a Writing Test. Enjoy.

Explanation Writing - Practice Writing Test

Firstly School is Important because it is the basic foundation of knowledge. School helps with your Social Skills, it also helps you get into the mindset where you're already ready to be an Adult and ready to be a bigger person in life. Some people call School “Home” and a “Safe Place”, because they can literally talk to anyone that's hurting them.

School is also Important because it's a place to get you ready for college and for the future as well. School is Important for our Social Development, to get us closer to our family and friends. School is a powerful force for promoting opportunities and growth.

Secondly More Education Increases your chance of being married,and also to have a bigger future and life to look forward to. Having a brighter future means you have a lot to look forward to. You need to learn how to pay bills, look after your elderlys, or do much more… It increases your life to be healthier have more opportunities, even have growth.

School is similar to our Hospitals/Rest Homes. It's like our Nurses and Doctors looking after us, but our Teachers are teaching us on how to have a better life, better Education, Grades and Futures. Our Teachers put so much effort and work into educating us students.

What is your purpose at School?

Finally, everyone should know what their purpose is before walking in those School gates. My purpose is to learn more, get a better Education, and to also look forward to what's going to be coming during life.

Grades. Your School grades are ALWAYS Important. Grades can help with many many things like, getting the job you really want, getting into your favourite College or either become a lawyer if you want to. Always be prepared for what's coming ahead. School can even be the KEY to living a longer healthier life.

My three elements are about Social Skills, Paying Bills Purposes and Grades.

These things have helped me during my 13 years of life. I know it can be a little hard, but it's always helpful to learn your Social Skills, Purposes and Grades/Education.

What is your purpose in life?

What are you looking forward to in the future?

What is the least favorite thing you dislike?

Are you looking to make your life have more opportunities and be healthier?

Social Sciences - Bubble School

 Social Sciences:

Today room 3 was talking about "Social Sciences". We talked about the Vaccine, only because people on TikTok and Instagram have been saying that we got dosed with a metal inside our arm. So our Team 5 teachers decided to put together a movie of trying it. You'll have to get a metal something then slide it down your arm where you got your dose, and see if it actually works. Our teahcers said it didnt work and we even have proof of it! 

Answer these in the comments:

What can I check for myself to see if this information is true or false?

True? - Why do you trust it?

False?- Why dont you trust it?

Does this impact your voice (what you say) and your choice (What you choose for youself)?

How does your desicion impact you?

And why do you think Social Media is telling us this?v

I hope yous enjoy and stay safe during the level 3 pandemic! Ofa Lahi Atu to you all :)

Aggs & St Pauls Production.

                           AGGS & ST PAULS PRODUCTION!

INFO 1: Pt England School got invited to watch the Aggs and St Pauls production, along with some other intermidiate schools. They held it yesterday morning! On they way there, we decided to pick up St Patricks intermidiate school only because it was Ms Tele'as friend who couldnt get a bus... My experience was I really enjoyed it and it was pretty funny! By the look of the students faces, it looks like they really really enjoyed it. I am so grateful that Pt England School was invited to Auckland Girls Grammar School, because we never really got to watch a real life production.... Highlight: I really liked there acting skills, and how they made a few mistakes but they kept going, they made their audiance laugh and make these sounds when they had a romantic part!!

Other than that, thankyou to Aggs and St Pauls for inviting us to come and watch your beautiful production, we really enjoyed it! We hope to see you again sometime in the future. Love Pt England xx.

 

Pt England VS Royal Oak

Goodmorning Everyone!

Last week on Friday, some of the year 7 and 8 girls went out to Royal Oak to play rugby against there girls. It was just a fun game because we wanted to play a friendly game before we had Auckland Champs this week Wednesday. Our first tournament Pt England year 7 and 8 girls came first in the whole of Glen Innes bounds. Rugby union is just like rugby league but you have to be planted on the ground like a V shape. 

When we arrived at Royal Oak Intermediate, we got told by one of their girls that we had specific changing rooms. We had five minutes to put our boots on and to get changed. After we finished that, I took my fowards in a corner and Hannah took her backs into a corner as well. I talked to my fowards about not to be scared to tackle or run it straight, and then we did some stretches so we can warm up our bodys ready for the game. 

Now we were really here, a student from Royal Oak guided us to where the Changing rooms are so we can put our boots on. Not long after that we ran outside to where the fields were and started warming up, 30 minutes later and kickoff as started. Here we go..

We were loosing in the first half, the girls in Royal Oak Inter kept getting back to back tries and we were slowly using hope. Once 1st half finished and we had a 5 minute break before 2nd half started. We were all exhausted and tired but Ms Timmi told us to ‘Keep going, and to never give up !’1

             Yr 8 Kauaeranga Valley Leadership Camp 2021 

Kia ora and welcome to my blog , Last week on Wednesday the Yr 8's set off to a leadership camp at Kauaeranga Valley Christian Camp ( KVCC ) This was a camp that helped us to grow bigger as leaders at school or at home, not only did camp help us as leaders but it also helped us work together and better in a team, Teamwork does the Dreamwork ! Mrs Tele'a taught us a saying in Samoan which was Tautua which means To Serve Others . Coming from this camp I know there will be opportunities to step up and be a leader .    

As we arrived we had to take out our camping bags, and settled in a hall, where they introduced there stuff members, also as we were looking outside, we saw families that also lived nearby close, which was a great community, on our first activity, we all year 8 groups went to the GYM, it was a pretty big GYM with a few games on the 2nd floor, first we did activities together, and first came was Kauaranga.

My highlight for Yr 8 Camp would have to be the Polynesian Theme Dinner Night because we were all dressed up in our Colourful Flower lei's we brought which was for the Dinner . During the poly dinner night there was Karoke playing, Poly music playing  and cheers going through the room . The food was amazing and tasty, mainly the dessert ( Churros and Ice - Cream drizzled with Chocolate Syrup ) mmm amazing . Not only that, right before we ate the lights turned off and glowing lights from the ceiling were so bright and filled the room , it was like a mini concert happening  in the dining room . 

Can't forget the challenging but fun activities held at camp which was Paintball, Flying fox, Axe Throwing, Air Riffles, Railway Jiggers, Go - Karts, Camp Search, a big Trampoline to jump on during free time and an enormous Gym place to also play during free time .

Encouraging them!

Info 1: Encouraging your siblings is like helping them throughout their tough times, and always making sure that they are alright and happy. Another way to encourage them is to show them your love, and make sure they are happy and good at school.
