Fun Run Recount

At Pt England school we, the year 7 & 8s does P.E (physical education) everyday after morning tea. This term we always run a lot to improve our running skills for a 5 kilometre run that we are going to do, but we have to dress up as something or someone. This is called a fun run.

 Every time we practise running, the P.E teachers takes note of our time. The first time I ran I got a time of 6 mins 15 sec, and today my time was 5 mins 34 sec.

Kupu Hou Words

This term at Pt England school our topic is all about food and in Room 19 our teacher  (Miss Tito) gave us each 2 vocabulary words about food. Miss Tito showed us a website that is like a food dictionary which explains food words. Then we had to make a presentation about the 2 words. My 2 words were "fructose and riboflavin" and here is what I did.

Where I am up to in Xtramath

My class Room 19 at Pt England School is doing something called Xtramath, we are doing it to improve in our basic facts skills. 

When we login for xtramath a screen comes and it says "start," when we click on start another screen pops up and we have do the basic facts. Starting with 3 seconds addition, subtraction, multiplication and division then it goes down to 2 seconds after that it goes down to 1.5 seconds then we start all over again.

Right now I am up to 3 second subtraction.

Reading Reflection Week 2

Title: Zac Power Frozen Fear
Author: H.I. Larry
Pages: 1-50
Date: 15/5/13

This book is about a boy called Zac Power who is an agent and he goes on a mission to the Icy Pole. He found out some people were trying to steal and collect as much as oil they can so they could use a nuclear bomb to destroy the world.


I think the author is a good writer because this story is spectacular and creative. The gadgets that he has drawn looks amazing and the names of the gadgets are awesome.

                               
I enjoy this story a lot.

A Special Guest

Last week on Wednesday our principle (Mr Burt) told us that a special guest was going to come on Thursday at the assembly and he said it was gonna be a huge surprise. At the assembly when we walked into the hall I was already surprised because there were cameras everywhere.

It was taking along time for the special guest to arrive and everyone was wondering who will it be? Mean while one of the camera man was asking my friend Anthony and me some questions. Beside us was a photographer who was taking photos of us because we were sitting up beautifully. 

Finally the special guest arrived and it was Will.i.am famous pop singer from Black Eyed peas.

He surprised all of us and we all cheered for him. After that the Kapahaka and the hiphop groups performed for Will.i.am. He donated us a cheque of 100 000 dollars.

TITLE: Zac Power Frozen Fear       

AUTHOR: H.I. LARRY

Page: 1 - 38

Date:8/5/13

SUMMARIZE: This book is about a boy called Zac power and his family who are spies, when they were just about to take a summer holiday a helicopter came and took Zac, it was a special agent and Zac was sent on a mission to the Icy Pole to investigate suspicious activity in that area, but it was going to be a tough mission for Zac because the Icy Pole is so remote you can’t use any gadgets or call anyone for help.

PREDICT: Later in the story, I think that Zac will turn this remote place into not remote then he will find out the suspicious activities and save the Icy Pole .

PERSONAL: I really like this book because it’s a spy book.

What My Friends Say About Me.

On the last day of term 1, in our class (Room 19), we had to tape a piece of paper at the back of every student and write positive things about things about them. After that we looked at our papers and were surprised of what people wrote about us.

One of the thing that somebody wrote about me was, "cool hair." I think they may have wrote this because I make my hair really cool when I come to school.

Another thing somebody wrote about me was, "you are a super star." I think they may have wrote this because I always focus on my work and I never be silly in class.

This other thing somebody said was, "you are so cool!!!." I think they may have wrote this because I am a respectful friend and a cool to hang out.

The experience of doing this was really fun and this was a great thing to do.
