My Top Three Highlights Of Pt England School 2013

My best highlight of 2013 would have to be the "Waitangi Launch (Our Nations Children)." Because when we arrived there, there was Maori television and One News filming us. Also Andrew Anderson was there the guy who directed and produced "Shrek and Narnia," I even got his autograph. The best thing was that the governor general was there, it was a great honour meeting him and all the others. The food was spectacular, I loved it a lot.

My second highlight was The Waitangi Trip. The best thing there was the powhiri experience it felt like I was travelled back in time into the olden ages of the Maori time. It was really inspiring. Staying at the Copthorne Hotel, the food was very very delicious and the rooms were cool because we had sky. The
other inspiring thing was the educational experience with Mrs Brown.

My third highlight of the year was "sixty the quest." I loved it because I was part of the show with some of the kids from my class. In our part we used lights around our body and glowing masks and we did our show in the dark so it was really cool. It was one of the best.

Raihan And Carlos Report Of Sydney Tragic Fires

For some time a forest fire has been shoot in west of Sydney. The fire’s have been going on since 14 the of October. Many fire fighters have gone and try to help, and many have been sent to the hospital of serious burns. The temperatures has been getting higher which means worser fire’s, and means more people getting hurt.

Over 200 homes have been destroyed and over 100 were destroyed today. The fire’s have killed many people. One man named Walter Lindner try to save his house but tragically died on his way to the hospital.

Fire fighters will carry on shooting tons and tons of water until every bit of fire is gone.

Thanks to all fire fighters for helping Sydney.

Bruce lee

Bruce lee was one the best fighter in the world, he travelled around the world and learned lots of different techniques like tae-kwondo, judo, ninjutsu, but his main one was kung-fu. Bruce lee's real name  is Lee Jun-fan. 

Bruce lee was so fast he once broke five boards with a speed record on Hong Kong TV  Bruce lee was actually born in San Francisco, He was born in year of the dragon so he carries the blessing of the dragons. His ancestry is German and Chinese, his dad is full Chinese and his mum is German Chinese.

After seeing Bruce fight directors and film makers started to include him in their movies. In fact he was one of the best actors in the 90's. He has won a lot of champion ships and fights. 

Some people says that his wife killed him with a pill , others says he died in a fight and some says he got killed by sword that went through his body. some people also say he got killed by some sort of magical kung-fu monks that had powers.

I hope you enjoyed this history of Bruce lee (lee Jun-Fan) please write a comment.

 

MY STAY AT WAITANGI

Waitangi was the best experience I have ever had, I will tell you my favourite and not so favourite part of the trip.

Starting with the not so favourite part. I didn't really like the bus ride because I am very carsick and it was more than 3 hours, that was actually my highest record on staying on a bus. The worst thing was that we couldn't swim at Copthorne hotel because we didn't have enough time, that swimming pool looked so cool. last but not least I didn't really like some of the food because they are just not my type, but some of them were delicious especially the Hangi.

Okay, my favourite parts of the trip, in first place would have to be the powhiri at runanga marae, it actually took me to the past and showed me what the maori culture were, they were not afraid of their enemy, I really liked the maori instrument and the weapons that they used in the olden days and now. I loved the performance, I was actually a bit scared.

The second thing I loved was the marae stay, that night Faia Ema told us a some of her child hood stories they were funny and inspiring. She also told us the relationship between all of us. Saying goodbye to Faia Ema was really sad.

Last but not least my favourite thing was hanging out with my friends and have a great trip.

P.M.I Reflection (Movie)

This week at Pt England School I was in creative strand (Movie Making). The movie that I made had a lot of characters mostly my friends. They were really good at acting. I was the director and also the villain in the movie.

Thanks for watching

This is my PMI reflection about the movie:

P: The positive thing about this movie is that we worked together and didn't muck around. It turned out to be a really cool and funny movie. Everyone liked it.


M: The negative thing about the movie was Angela's hair, it changed because on the second day of filming we went to the green screen room to look for it but another group was using it and we didn't know so we tried hard and got something similar.


I: The interesting thing about the movie was that when everyone was watching, they didn't notice the hair changing and they liked it a lot. It was hilarious.     

IMMERSION ASSEMBLY

On the first day of Term 3, when I came to school with my little brother Ayman I couldn’t wait to find out what our new topic was. I heard the first bell ring and quickly went into my class. My teacher marked of the role and we lined up in B,GS (boys and girls). We went to the hall for our Immersion Assembly and sat down on the chairs. Then I saw on the projector our topic was “Life’s A Stage.”  

It was pretty noisy, but when Mr Burt started speaking everyone was quiet. Mr Burt was dressed up as James Taylor. He told us about how James Taylor let us have Point England and how his father died also how lots of schools were named after him and his father.

Mr Burt Announced Team 1 to come on the stage and perform their act. Mr Liufau came up and said lets play a guessing game that’s about fairy tale characters. The first one was “she is a evil, she is a witch and likes to eat kids. An evil witch came out of nowhere and looked really really freaky. The second one was Princess and the frog, and was much much more but I forgot.    

Mr Burt Announced Team 2 to come on the stage. Mrs She, Mrs Blake and Mrs Glaze came up with fancy costumes that from the 70’s till now. There was a video playing on the projector. It was hilarious because there were 2 dancing really funny. The next video was jazzy, like a disco and lots of people were moving their body fast. Then the final video Michael Jakson everyone was cheering very very loud including me.

TO BE CONTINUED NEXT TIME
