Activity week: Day 1

Day 1 of activity week was fun and creative. We did painting with only three primary colours, Red, Yellow and Blue.We had three options two draw, A vase with flowers, A pot with a cross and A clay plate with can.

I Chose the The Vase with flowers. It didn't turn out very good, It kinda looked like a bouquet. The year 8 painter of the day was Salamona, Tied for Second place was Petelo and Genevieve.

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.

Testing Week

This week so far has been very stressful  due to all the testing, The Maths test was okay to me, Some were easy and some were not. The reading and writing was nerve racking but it turned out to be a bit easy. Today we had our hard spelling test, at first it was easy but then it got harder. I hope my test results turn out good :)

Rugby Tournament

It was cloudy afternoon at our rugby tournament, our first game was against Pamnure Bridge. We were under way. We started of with some early tries and some good plans, Paulasi, David F and I scored in that game. We won our first 3 games, Until we lost to Tamaki primary in our fourth normal game and grand finals.

My highlights of the tournament was meeting new people and scoring tries.

Cross Country Report

In cross country the course was very long. All Saint Pius X Catholic Students were sent into to their age groups and waited for the sport event to start.

It starts from the oldest to the youngest ( yr8 down to yr1).

The placings for cross country is first, second and third, like every       other race. There are lead runners for every race. older Students  run up and down castledene crescent block which is a very long distance, meanwhile the younger students run around the field.

Role Model In family

The person I look up too the most in my family is my Mum.   She is a great cook.  She made delicious meal for our family.   

she is generous, helpful, incredible and caring mum. She cares for me by waking up in the morning and prepares my lunch, uniforms and much more. She is generous and helpful by participating in every school fundraising by donating money for the good cause. My mum inspires me because she cares for anyone and everyone.

Descriptive Writing about me

I am a young tall and chubby boy. I have black wavy hair and have dark brown eyes with a dark blue outline. I am neat and presentable at times. I am a bit tan and have a square head and face. I have pimples all over my forehead and cheeks.

I am an amusing and funny person because I make all my friends laugh. I am also an joyful and cheerful person because I like to laugh and cheer along with my friends.  Honesty is the best policy : I am honest because I do not like to tell lies.

At school...

At school we do a lot of things but the thing we do the most is learning, there may be a lot of arguments in and out of class but we all get along at the end. What I like like about school is the students and the staff because of how respectful and helpful they are. What happen lately at school: Netball season started for our yr 6,7 and 8. We have recently had a instructor to come to our school and teach us new skills about soccer.

Also in term 2 (which is this term) week four there will be a swimming pool and kind instructor coming to our school. And that’s what happened at school.

Mothers Day Letter

Again it’s that day just for mothers. We help, clean and cook breakfast just for them. I would like to thank for everything you've done for me mum. I appreciate the way you iron my clothes and the way you pack my lunch. Without her I wouldn't have been here to day.

I love my mother yes I do, for she is the one that has been there too! I love my mother yes i do. For if I had no mother like the one I do, I would be lonely. I love my mother yes I do for she is the one that taught me too.

Soul Friend Mass

On Friday morning two days before the feast day of Saint Patrick, we Saint Pius X school celebrated with a soul friend mass. Father Ioane (  our new priest ) started us with the sign of the cross. Before the prayers of the faithful I made a promise to my soul friends which was to always be there for them in there needs of trouble. My experience for the soul friends mass was lovely.

Soldier Boy The Story

There once was a little cottage with a boy and girl, they lived with their mother. One day their mother said to the boy "johnny can you go and get some fish from west side of the lake?" and the mother also said to the girl (which was her daughter) to go to get some berries from town, "here is some money". The daughter walked all the way to town and she bought the berries liked the mother told her to. Before she went the shop keeper said "I will always remember you because you are the most kindest person to me and you have one of the most brightest brunet hair and brown eyes" The shop keeper said to her "do you have a brother?" then she said "yes". "Okay, where is he now?" "he’s down by the river" "which river?" "the one near crock lake he’s getting fish" "Oh no, what do mean?, there is no fish at the crock lake there are only crocodiles at crock lake, don’t you get the hint crock from the word crocodile?". The daughter ran home and told her mother and they both ran down the to the lake.
It was to late, the lake was covered with blood and they saw some eyes glaring at them and then they ran quickly to their cottage. They saw a note on their table, it said 'Dear mother and sister I have joined the army because I must protect you and the country, love Johnny' "hurray" said the mother. "What do mean hurray, he’s going to the army" exclaimed the daughter"But that means he is still alive." said the mother
They needed to find the army he went to and why, so off they went asking people where the nearest army was. The people said it was across crock lake, so off they went again to crock lake and they crossed crock lake safely.

They saw a soldier near by, he was guarding the gate to crocodile army. The soldier said "are you here to see someone?” and then they said "yes". "okay who are you going to see" said the soldier. Mother said "we are here to see johnny Hex". The soldier said he was in training now, so they couldn’t see him now. "Can we see him train?" asked Mother. "No the place he’s gone to train is top secret so you should leave".

Net book is a good tool

Can the Net book be a good tool for learning and is it better than books that is the question ?
100 Percent of our class likes it because they think its better than using a pencil because it hurts your hands and you need another pencil every time you break it. Every year you can keep the same net book not like a pencil.
Another reason why the net books are good is because it does corrections for you when you spell something wrong, not like a book.You can search for something on your net book when your stuck on something and when your teachers give you home work.
Our Teacher says use it wisely because he might take it away when your doing something bad.
There are heaps of ways to describe this machine - it’s awesome, it’s great to work with and also it has amazing graphics.
It’s good with people with small hands and you change the font when it’s small to big if your smart enough to find it.
And that's why you should work this Net book more often.
