Treaty Of Waitangi


172 years ago, the Maori people and Queen had an agreement. The treaty was signed. It was signed by Queen Victoria’s govener, William Hobson. In 1840 February the 6th at the Bay Of Islands, that is when and where it was signed . About 40 chief sign on the Treaty Of Waitangi too. William Hobson was so surprised to go to the meeting where they had their agreement with the Maori people. He turned up wearing plain clothes except for his plumed hat. So that is what I know about long ago.

My Wonderful And Humorous Holiday


Welcome to 2012!!!! What is your new year’s resolution? Everyone has to have a resolution. (The word, “resolution” means, what goal do you have for this really long year?) My new years resolution is to lose weight. I know that sounds a bit funny but every time I look at the mirror, I imagine myself working out on a treadmill for about 20 minutes. Anyway! You just can’t believe how fun my Holiday was. There is a lot more than what I am going to write, but it is just too long and fun.

Some of you might of known that my birthday was during the holidays. I went to the movies and I had Burger King to celebrate it. I watched the fantastic movie called “ We Bought A Zoo.” It is really cool and many people watched it. Then like a week after that, a lot of my cousins, aunties and uncles came over and we had a big BBQ to celebrate my birthday AGAIN!!! I was just so amazed, and plus it was better than the movies! We had a massive water fight and everyone enjoyed the delicious food. Especially my mum’s Macaroni Cheese and Bacon!!! MMMmmmm!!!!!!!!!! I had lots of presents. One of the presents I got from my uncle who is like an older brother to me were 2 school bags and a whole lot more. They were both Puma bags and I gave one of them to my oldest sister and I said “thank you” to her for organizing everything for my birthday party. I reeeeaaaallllyyyy!!! Enjoyed that day that I will never forget.

I’m sure some may have known or have seen Malia. The person who taught the “ End Of Time” Beyonce dance? And the person who taught the glee “ Who Run the World” dance? Well it was her 21st birthday not long ago and she wanted me to choose some people to do the “End Of Time” dance at her birthday. Malia goes to the same church as I do. As well as Mrs Tele’a, Mrs Tuala, Esrah, Jordenne, Tui, Vanila, Toreka, Justice, and a whole LOT more from our school!!!!!!!! So I went and got 2 people from the "Army" dance in the production, "Webzidazical" to com and dance with me. So I went and chose Tui and Jordenne because they were the only two that I know where they live. We practice at my house on our deck like about 12 times a day. Finally, it was the real day. There was a lot of food and it was DELICIOUS!!! Her big celebration day was at our church hall.  When it was time for us to dance, I said a speech. Next we started our dance. Jordenne, Tui, and I aced it. Everyone in the hall was suprised and amazed of our dance. We gave it the best we can, and everybody was proud of us. I can never forget that night.

During the special holiday, I got to sleep in. My cousin’s and I slept at 2:30 in the morning, and woke up at about 11am. We were proud that we got to sleep late.

Sometime later, Feeling sad and tired that the longest holiday ever was over, I came to school early in the morning. I just could not wait until the next holiday. As soon as I heard that I was in Mr Harris’s class, I asked myself, “ is he fun? Is he enthusiastic? Is he a cool teacher to understand?” When I walked into his class room which was room 19, the questions I asked myself were both, “YES.” He is one of the best teachers I’ve ever had.  I felt glad.

My Feelings about Having a Netbook

This year I really had fun and enjoyed having a Netbook to work on because it is much easier and much better to use because we get to type and not get sore hands from our pencil’s.Another thing is because it is much better to learn more and communicate with others. Furthermore having a Netbook has meant that we have to take responsibility and take charge of it. Most definitely the best thing is that we are learning much better. it has also made it much easier for me because I can find out some interesting and important things on the web. I don’t have to write on my book then type it and that’s what I like about it. It was just too much. I feel grateful because we don’t have to wait for the other student on the computer to come off.

As much as I have loved having a Netbook there are some things that I haven’t liked.One of the things I did not like about my laptop is when it is playing up. And in that way I mean when the network in not working. From time to time, it also stops me from learning. Another thing I do not like about my network device is when I cannot find the right thing on the web. There are many reasons why I don’t get some of my work finished because sometimes my netbook freezes and then I have to shut it down. But sometimes when I turn it back on, the network is on the TLN Manaiakalani wireless.

The hardest thing about having my netbook is following the website our teacher tells us.The greatest challenge for me when I finish all my assignments is when we get to play on math whiz after and getting to learn more maths. I just don’t like it when I have to re-start my netbook when it is not working properly. Sometimes I refuse to do things when I already tried it like about 4 times because it’s too much.

If it was decided that the Netbook Pilot Scheme was a failure and we had to go back to pen and paper,I think it wouldn’t be that great because we just enjoy having our netbook. It would be a harder job for me to post on the blog because I will have to type after I write.

How Can I Achieve My Goal In Every School Subject

I have been thinking to myself, “What will I do to achieve my goal in Maths?” My goal is to use really good strategies and to be part whole. What do you think? In my thinking head right now, I am thinking that I should just listen really carefully and, to just never give up. Another thing I should do is practice it at home a lot of time.

That wasn’t the only subject I should achieve in but I want to try and be a better author on my Personal Blog. I am just so happy that I have written tuns of stories and posting it to the blog. What should I do to be a better writer? Do you think I should use some really good vocabulary’s, or should I use the right punctuations? I bet you that a lot of people will think that I should use both thing along with, a great looking plan and making sense.

Now, I am going to tell you what I would do to move up another level in reading. Well, I will just read and read at home. That was simple, but what else should I do? OOOOoooohh now I know what I should do. I should comprehend and know how to re-tell the story I read.

I just want to be a hard working boy at school. I will never be like that, BUT WAIT! I actually can. For me to be a hard working boy, I am going to not be lazy and I will always do what I am suppose to do. I will stand strong if I want to reach every goal in every subject. There is one word that will always be in every goal and that word is “ACHIEVE!”

My parents always want me to get a good report. I just want to make them happy and proud of me. I think I should work REALLY! Hard in school. Now If they are proud me, then I am proud of myself.
