Film Festival


It was very exciting to attend the 6th annual Manaiakalani film festival. St Pius X Catholic school waited in the cinema with Glen Innes Primary school for their films to come up on the big screen.
Catherine and Sione presented their amazing music video called “Friends” ( There video will be available on the Manaiakalani website ).

I would have to say my favourite part of the day was coming on the bus to Sylvia park and watching the short films. My favourite short film besides St Pius’ has to be Point England School’s ‘Express Yourself’ short film.

Favourite Sports Player


Influential Person - Gordon Tallis
Gordon Tallis is one of the top Australian Tongan National Rugby League players in the word. He does not have a full head of hair.
He has now retired. His nickname was the raging bull, because when he got the ball he would run like a bull seeing red. He was one of the most feared players in the NRL.

Maths Portfolio 2

I am learning to solve Rate and Ratio using level 4 stragies
This resource is about showing how to solve problems involving rates and ratios
Show how you work these problem out.

1.  Mara has 4 books for every 3 books Chloe has.

Chloe has 12 books.

Mara has 16 books
12 divided by 3 = 4
16 divided by 4 = 4
What is the ratio?  Explain using the ratio
3:4
12 : 16

2.  Sam gets $15 every 5 weeks for doing work around the house.
Show how to work out how many weeks it will take Sam to save $60
20 weeks = $60
10 weeks = $30. because double of 15 is 30 and double of 5 is 10.
What is the ratio?  Explain using the ratio.
5:15
20:60

3.  There are 6 boys for every 4 girls in a hockey team.
There are 10 girls in the team
Show how to work out how many boys are in the team.
10:15
its 4:6 but I make it 2:3
2 x 5 = 10
3 x 5 = 15
Answer 10 : 15

This task is about finding fractions of a given number.
Level 3 fraction 3

A farmer is selling some of his animals.

1.  The farmer sells ¼ of his 72 cows.  Show how to work out how many cows he sess.
4 x ___= 72

Recount and Descriptive writings

What a day with Saint Joseph’s school from Orakei. Saint Pius X school gathered them with a kind welcome in our church. After our welcome mass we had lunch with them outside our classes. It was really fun playing with St Joseph’s students even though they grade year stopped at six. Next was our concert, we performed a awesome concert so did St Joseph’s school. As we said goodbye, they said thank you. My highlight for the day was playing with my little friends Blake, Finley and Finn. Happy Catholic Schools Day.

Measurement Estimation Problem

This is a red bucket that will be filled with 2832 ml
and also there is a 236 ml cup. Our problem was to estimate how much 236 ml cups will fill this 2832 ml bucket.

Tevita Fohe in our group estimated twelve 236 ml cups will fill this red bucket, which was right. This how we worked it out :
in 12 there is a 10 and a 2.
10 x 236 = 2360
2 x 236 = 472
Answer 472 + 2360 = 2832. 2 litres and 832 millilitres.

God's Desire

What does God want from you ? I think that God wants me to the right thing that's why he sent Jesus.

What is stopping me from what God wants me to? I think no one stopping me because I make my own decisions and my decision is to praise God

My Favourite Thing ...

My hobby is playing sports but my all time favourite thing to do is play rugby. I like the way the players have so much energy. My favourite part  of the game is the passing, what I like about the passing is that it is so different and perfect to the way they passed back then. The games has so much adrenaline and sportsmanship that it makes me want to play myself. And that is why rugby is my favourite thing.
