My first week of School

It was time to go back to school and my first two days back was a blast!! My home room is Room 3
and my teacher is Mrs Tele’a, but unfortunately she had to look after her baby so we have two
georgeous teachers Mrs Sio and Mrs Salu filling in
for her for the first two terms of school.

The first day back from school me and the other prefects had to get ready for the first school
assembly as the new leaders of 2018. The first time standing up there in front of the school
was both scary and exciting. Once the school assembly was finished the Year 8’s went back
to the Team 5 block to welcome the Year 7’s.

The second day back, everybody just stayed in their home class and learned about the
Treaty of waitangi. Once we were finished with the Treaty of Waitangi our class made a Treaty or Rules
to care for our Classroom.

One thing that I learned this week was how to do many sort of artwork and I also learned some of my
classmates names. Some things I want to archive next week is to be a good role model and to do good
both in Maths and Reading.

What have you been doing on Boxing Day

For today's post I would like to wish my little cousin Anna Maria a happy birthday. I hope you had fun on your special day with your family.

Now how was your boxing day? My boxing day was so fun, my family had a Barbeque, played some sports outside which made me very happy. Some things that I hope I will do these school hoildays is go to the beach, go to the movies and spend time families.

So what di you do on Boxing day and what have you been up to in the school hoildays?

IT'S School Holidays

The school year for 2017 has gone by like a flash, right now I feel like it's only Term !!. Unfortunatley I couldn't come on the last day of school to say farewell to my teacher Mrs Tele'a and the Year 8's, but one things for sure is that I am going to miss them alot and hopefully they come and visit us sometime.

Some kids are not very excited about going back to school in the following year but I am because at our school Prizegiving I was named one of the Prefects of our school and in my family being a leader of the school is a big thing. So I am very excited to go back to school for 2018. What about you, are excited to go back to school?

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Tapaono Interpreting Graphs

WALT: Identify relationships by using graphs.
For week 7 Mrs Tele'a gave the Tapaono an activity all about Interpreting graphs and creating graphs. This activity has helped the Tapaono strengthen their thinking about Graphs.

Extension Experience this year

This year was my very first year of been in Extension and I have had a blast with Mrs Langitupu and the Year 8's and 7's. This experience of being in Extension has helped me improve more on my coding and helped me understand more about Scratch. My advise for the Year 6's who are going to be in Extension next year is to always try your best and always pay attention of what is happening. I would like to say thank you to Mrs Langitupu and Zoey from OMGT for helping me throughout the year.


One thing that I enjoyed about being in Extension was doing new tasks for a new term. I also really enjoyed working together with my friends and finding solutions for our problems throughout the year. My highlights for extension was when we were filming for our school Maniakalani Film Festival which was a lot of fun. I hope that I'm in Extension next year, Thank you Mrs Langitupu for a great experience this year.

Emotions and Music

For this Term's main focus about music the Teachers of Team 5 gave they students a task where we had to find songs to match each emotions. Hope you enjoy it.

WALT -  Use 2 different strategies to solve word problems AND adding and subtracting decimals
This Week for Week 6 Mrs Tele'a gave the Tapaono group Decimals for our maths activity. This activity was made to help us improve more on decimals before we do our Gloss test with Mrs Tele'a.
