Rockets - TC Tech

 Today was fun.

Year 7s were making paper rockets with Mr. Dunn and Miss. Ferguson. We were split into 5 groups. Before we started creating we watched a video from Rocket Lab and Space Ex. They were all fun videos and mostly interesting.

In my group was Pitara, Chase, Ms. Atuahiva and I. I started off with the body of the rocket and Chase created the tip of the rocket and the parachute. Chase and I put all of the pieces together and BAM! we created a masterpiece.

After all the beautiful creations were done, we gave the rockets to Mr. Dunn so he can place the fire proof tissues in and the engine of the rockets. Soon after that we found ourselves outside shooting our rockets high up in the sky. My groups rocket went up the highest. Our hard work payed off well. The name for our rocket was Little Lia.

Thank you Mr. Dunn and Miss. Ferguson. We enjoyed it so much.

Sina and the Eel

 Once upon a time, way back in the days on an island named Savai´i, lived a beautiful young girl named Sina. On the island, Sina befriended and eel. Every evening, under the moonlight, they would swim and talk. He told Sina of how he was once a prince. He grew larger and more demanding over Sina´s love. At this time Sina was frightened by him. So she ran to relatives in a nearby village.

She would make excuses just to get away but that wouldn't keep him away from Sina, sometimes he would follow her or come up to appear at the surface of the water. She eventually told her uncle and cousin. Soon her cousin was sent to kill the eel. He sliced and sliced his head off his body. R.I.P Prince Eel.

Sina cried and with his last breath, he asked Sina to bury his head for remembrance. Soon after, his head will sprout a tree that would bear fruit with refreshing nectar. The eels face will be on the fruit, 2 eyes 1 mouth. Each time Sina drinks from the fruit she would be in fact kissing the eel.

And that's the story of Sina and the Eel.

The End.

Poem - Body Love/Shame

Your are body image bully,

A corrupt cop without a bandage

Who enjoys policing curvy women's bodies.

Your are quick to falsely accuse

Curvy women of being obese

Because they match your description of unhealthy

Who gave you the right

To shame others for their image

Not knowing what they're going through

I´ve witness the way you´ve tease

Full-figured women

With your words,

And attempt to hand-cuffed their self-esteem

You should be convicted

Of body image abuse

Curves are not a crime,

Being full-figured is not a felony,

And self love is not against the law.

Love yourself and be who you are.

Don´t be too quick to judge.

Ready Sets Grow!

 

Here are two vegetables.

And here are ways to grow them.

Sweetcorn and lettuce.

Arabic discussion with Mrs. Ayub

 Today Mrs. Ayub taught us about her religion. Mrs. Ayub is Kiwi-Paki but she is most with her Paki side.

We learnt a lot of things like; How they pray, Who and what they believe in. (As-Salam-Alaikum).

Learning about her religion was so interesting. They believe in God which they call Allah. 
They also believe in Heaven and Hell.
They have different ways praying.

I also learnt about the Arabic Alphabet. We had a lot of discussions with Mrs. Ayub.
Thank you Mrs. Ayub for teaching us about your religion.

How to be a good friend

Group Reflection

 Today Taha had a math observation with Jo. We were split into 4's. In my group there was; Richie, Key, Gideon and I. 

Our question was 2.75 km + 9.98 km

2.75 km - 0.02 km = 2.73 km

9.98 km + 0.02 km = 10 km

2.73 km + 10 km = 12.73 km

That was our strategy for our math problem. Thank you Jo for coming to our class.

Tech - Miss. Ferguson

 Today was the last day of the term. YAY! Also it was the last day of tech. Sadly we never used the Mbots today but we did use drones. It was pretty cool. Pinomi was the first to control the drone then on to Victoria.F. It was really fun controlling the drones. We did races and flips with the drones.

On behalf of the year 7s, and myself I would like to thank you Mr. Dunn, G and Miss. Feguson for letting us Year 7s use and control the drones.

House Games

 Today Glenbrae held a house games for the students as it is almost the last day of the term. We had a lot of fun. The houses were separated into 2 groups.

Ko1 / Ko2 - R1 / R2 - K1 / K2 - N1 / N2

I was in Ko1. We first went to Capture the flag held by Ms. Kyee then to Foot Sole held by Mrs. Ripata.

After that we went to Robbing the nest held by Mr. Nath then straight to Netball tag held by Mrs. Tofa.

We had so much fun.

Kowhai came second and Nikau came 1st

Congrats to Nikau and good game to the other houses

Class Presentations

 Today Room 7 presented their arguments in front of the class. Each went, one by one. Kalo then to Stan then the rest after that. Tuhi Atu's argument was about how social media is a bad influence for all ages. Tusitala - Glenbrae students should wear what they want to school. Tuhi Mai - Should online learning be made compulsory and finally the last groups title was about Should kids do their chores.

When it came to me to present I felt nervous and shy. It was like I had anxiety or butterflies in my stomach.

Cross country - School

 Today Glenbrae seniors did cross country around half of the Leybourn Circle in Glen Innes. We went from year 7, 8, then Room 9's year then finally the year 4s. We ran across the school field then to a near alley way then the streets and pass Richie's house and finally back to school. It was hard but we still made it. This was Mr. Naths idea so it was a good exercise. We came back huffing and puffing. Mrs. Tofa gave Room 7 a little speech. Mrs. Tofa "It's not about racing your friends. It's about racing yourself"

Good advice Mrs. Tofa.

R.I.P my legs😭

SHRUNK !!

 :You and your class got shrunk. What are you gonna do now?

It started where Richie brang a shrinking machine for a class science fair. Clumsy Kue’ a tripped on Richie’s project, she fell on the shrinking machine. Everyone gathered around her and PEW, PEW, PEW. The class was getting smaller, smaller, and smaller, while their surroundings were getting bigger, bigger, and BIGGER. “Help, help!” They shouted but sadly no one could hear them. Minutes later Mrs. Patia walked in and AHHHH!!, Mrs. Patia almost squashed them with her Big, BIG, feet. Man, were they gonna die an unhappy death? BAM!, they hear big footsteps walking towards them. With a big magnifier, Mrs. Ripata looked down through the magnifying glass. Mrs. Ripata’s eye looked very huge. Mrs. Tofa was worried they’d stay like this forever. Mrs. Ripata looked at the shrinking machine, picked it up, flicked it to the green switch, and WAZAM. Room 7 was back to normal. YAY, they cheered and well Kue’ a had to apologize to Richie for the falling on the project part. Mrs. Tofa stopped worrying about staying small forever. No hair falling from stress anymore, Woohoo. Bye, Bye science fair. But before you go Richie:”Muwahahahahahahahaha” Ezekiel:” Rich, you coming?” ”Yeah just a minute” he yelled Pitara’s pov: ‘Why is he laughing? Is he a bad guy?’ “Fire, FIRE, FIRE!” the school screamed of fear. What do you think will happen next? Did Richie start the fire? Is he that bad? School burnt down and the city is at war. Mothers crying, Kids hiding, Fathers fighting. How did this happen? Shrunk class to war. And if he can do this then he can end the world.

Ooooh Richie is in TROUBLE

I know this is bad. TeeHee.

Ta'afuli Andrew Fiu - Purple Heart

 Yesterday Room 7 met the author of their novel.

Our special guest was the author of Purple Heart, Ta'afuli Andrew Fiu. Andrew came to our class and talked to us about how he wrote the book and more about his life that wasn't in the book. I really enjoyed meeting him. We learnt a lot about his life and the most hilarious things that happened to him.

We asked him questions about the book. In the end of our session with him, Viliami T said a thank you speech on Room 7's behalf and Richie gave him a poster and a nucleus necklace Richie's mum made for him.

Thank you Andrew for coming to our class and talking with us, it was an opportunity to meet you in person.

Since Level 3 came, I felt down again. Knowing that people are dying just makes me sad. I just wonder how those families feel when their relatives are dying because of the virus. I just hope all of us make it to 2021. YES 2020 is a bad year for most people. I have a lot of faith for those people who caught the virus. 

Want to know why this happened again? Well let me tell you. People aren't being CAREFUL. Sigh*.

Having to stay home is really fun and all, but staying away from school made me miss my friends so much. Be safe and don't cough out in the open or sneeze out in the open. Cause you don't know what germs will spread. Sneeze and cough in your arm.

STAY SAFE.....

The Girl He Never Noticed (2

 Continuing on......

Jade was a normal girl with a normal life. Jade worked for Mrs. Chang, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday to Friday as the cashier. Mrs. Chang owned a small coffee shop in Manhattan, New York, where Jade usually gets her family bread and butter.

The job was understaffed so Jade was working all over the place. Waitress, Coffee preparations and more. Mrs. Chang payed Jade enough money so she could feed her family and pay some bills.

Jade found Suzanne and Kurt together in the bathroom unlocked. Kurt threatened Jade to not tell Mrs. Chang or else he would break her bones. Suzanne and Kurt bullied Jade very often. Suzanne would cal Jade names such as 'ugly monkey'. Oh boy, you should see how Suzanne does her make-up.

Jade had a good teacher to teach her how to make coffee an artwork and how to make the best espresso. Jade heard the door opened and slammed against the door frame. She looked back and saw 'him'. Eros. He look vaguely familiar. 'Is he a movie star, model, celebrity?' She wondered.

His dark glasses hid his eyes. He look powerful and extremely rich. Jade grabbed a pen and the order slip pad and wrote down C#1, customer number 1. 

I am 'still' reading this book.

...... TO BE CONTINUED ......

The Girl he never noticed:)

 The Girl he never noticed.

A girl named Jade, was never noticed by handsome young men, but she was noticed by some rude people. Not in "that" way, but in a ugly way. She was the laughing stock to everyone. She wore a black wig, big rimmed eyeglasses. Why though?

On the other hand was Eros, devilishly handsome, extremely rich, and very powerful. But the one thing he is also known for is, being cold hearted. 

His colleagues and enemies have feared him from the beginning. He might be the man women want, but at the same time, NO, he is careless, full of hatred. He has the perfect family, but what else does he want, I mean, he's got money, girls begging for him, a family, company, more. Is there something I'm missing.

I am still currently reading this book. I have a feeling that this book, will be the best one I've ever red.
