Week Reflection.

Well, this week was the first week of Term 3. Yaay. Ok, there has been a lot of things that have happened this week. So I will only say a few. The first thing we have a new Chapter Chat book called 'The Recruit'. It's good so far but not for the main character, James. He has a mean stepdad. His Mum died and now he's at an orphanage thing. Oh, he also can't see his sister much. We also changed learning teams. Last term I was a Pavlova and now I am a Rocket. Based off of Groots racoon companion. The lunch times have also changed. Again, yes. Anyway, those were the main things. Have a good weekend.

A place I Like To Be.

Term 2 Week 7 2018

Okay, so this week has gone really s l o w l y.  I don't know why this is. Anyway, I think that I am doing good this week with my learning. I also made a paper box from scratch for Chapter Chat. I think that it is good. I also helped film and edit a video with my friends. I think that it turned out good. Christopher (one of my friends)  used a green screen for one scene. Anyway, this week was a simple week. But I did have a fight with one of my friends. That's all for this week.

Ngatea Is Ditching Plastic Bags.

WOW. Ngatea is wanting to be one of the first plastic bag free towns. Yay. Personally, I think that this is amazing and good for the environment. I am really happy that they are doing this. I think that this will make a big difference. But I not really sure on how some people of the community will take it. Well, that is all I have to say and I hope it makes a good effect.

My 13th Birthday.

On Sunday it was my 13th birthday. (Yay??). Anyway, we went to MOTAT in Auckland. It was really fun. The people who came was my sister and her friend. Me and two of my friends, my mum. My nana and her friend. There were a lot of people how came to my birthday. My favourite part of MOTAT was doing on the tram.

The presents that I got was a Lego set, a pocket watch, money, lollies and gum. Oh and pickled onions. Yum. I am really thankful for all my gifts.

Here is Photo of me on the tram.

Term 1 Week 6.

This week was a short week because of the Queens Birthday. This week we have been singing and learning the song "I'll Be There For You". I think that I have done well at the song. One thing that I have found hard is writing a compulsory story for Toi Toi, which I have not completed. This was mainly because of having a short week. But I am happy that is Friday because my Birthday is on Sunday and I can't wait. Oh and this week we made a frame for our self. I think that mine is cool. We also started doing our IE (Individual Endeavour). Mine is on the Thames mining history.

Dear Minister Of Education,

Dear Minister Of Education, I have heard that you will be cutting one of the school subjects. Now, I am a year 8 from Ngatea Primary School and I would be really disappointed if you were to take away one of school's most important subjects, writing. Now I know that you and your team will put a lot of thought into this problem. But writing is one of the most important parts of the curriculum and also the future of us children and teenagers. 
Here are some reasons that why I think that you should not get rid of writing:

Writing will help us in the future.

Writing is an easy way to communicate.

Writing is just important overall.

If you were to cancel writing it would be an ignominy.

From Dilyn.

Leadership Meaning

Leadership, so what is it. It means to take charge of a group of people or company. There sometimes can be a confusion between boss and leader. The difference is that leaders inspire people, while a boss gives the instructions. So there you have it.

Term 3 Week 3

Okay, so this week most of Marama went to Hamilton for NYLD 2018 or National Young Leaders Day 2018. On Monday I had to get up really early because we had to be at school at 10 to 8 a.m. because we had to leave school at 8 a.m, because NYLD started at 9: 30 a.m. Anyway, kind of what we did was sit down all day and listen to famous people from New Zealand talk about leadership. But there was one person who was interesting. Her name was Riley and she talked about looking after the Earth.

If My Pet Had a Super Power.

If my pet had a power it would be to speak Irish.

One day I woke up to my cat DJ speaking...., Irish. "Heileo DJ is ainm dom" said DJ. "Um," I said. This was one of the most strangest things that has ever happen to me. As I was getting ready for school my cat would keep on say her opinion on everything I did. I was so glad to go to school. When I got home my cat was still speaking Irish.

Term 2 Week 1

Okay, so this week has been extremely different mainly because of the new time layout. What I mean by this is that the lunch breaks have been now spread out during the day, so that there is now three lunch breaks instead of two breaks. We have also started Technology which is a bunch of different activities we do for about a term. The activity that I got into is filming and photography. This workshop is run by our school I.T teacher, Mr Singh. In this group I have been put into a smaller of three students including my self.
