My Presentation About the Solar System

This is my presentation about the Solar System. It also shows you what I have been learning about the Solar System.

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.

Having a Humorous Time At Camp Bentzon

In the very recent past, all the year sixes attended to go to Camp Bentzon along with some parent helpers and teachers. Well not all the year sixes went, but we arrived to Kawau Island with a yawn and a sigh. I was really tired from waking up at 6:30AM! I was happy to be at Kawau Island already.

Now, I am tell you about my FAVOURITE activity! Well there was the Burma Trail, we built a hut, Sailing, kayaking, KAYAKING!!......... Ever tried it before? Well it was my favorite activity. It was called Stingray Bay and it also was rocky and sandy until we found a hole that looked really magical. It wasn’t magical but it was a very important hole on the island that was made by some men in the olden days. It is a long story. It WAS AMAZING! To be inside a really dark and important hole.

My second favorite activity is going to Abseiling with Kawau A, Mr Somerville and Rodney ( Marvin’s dad) I felt really scared as soon as I saw a big looking Abseiling Wall. Everyone made it back down and we were all proud of ourselves. Especially those who didn’t want to do it. I felt really happy after making it back down.


In third place, was having a really good time of laughter doing the Burma Trail. We had to find a partner, then one partner had to be blind folded and follow the long rope. We also had to listen to what the other partner was telling us to do. I felt really trapped after MR SOMERVILLE kept tricking me. It was so funny because I gave him his payback when it was his turn. I had a TREMENDOUS TIME!

When ever it is free time, I always want to play my favorite sport which is VOLLEY - BALL!! My favorite thing doing in volley is spiking it and setting it over the net. I usually just want to have a humorous time.

MMMM....... “Time for mr Coup’s delicious food." We say. Mr Coup is a really good chef who can cook the most loveliest bread in the world. My favourite food for dinner was his Lasagna. We were just so happy to have him at Camp Bentzon. My wish was to have him as my GRANDPA!!

On the last night, we had a concert. It was a challenge between Kawau, Bentzon, Mansion, and Katz. Everyone participated in each group BUT!....... The group I was in had WON! I think we won the camp concert because we had a lot teamwork and courage. My best character was Tui because she was so funny acting as Sally Va’afusuaga. All of us had a cheerful laugh at her.

It was really sad to leave Kawau Island after all the great fun we had. The good news was that we got to see our parents and siblings again!! I was so sad because I didn't want to leave. All the year sixes will never forget Kawau Island. I have something to say. I just want to thank all the parent helpers, the teachers, and especially Mrs Flavelle organizing the wonderful Camp and for watching over us while we were there.

Camp Thoughts

Tomorrow morning at around 7:00, all the year sixes are going to a beautiful island called, “Kawau Island.” Well not everyone is going but I am excited to go to camp Bentzon.

I feel so happy about going to another place in New Zealand besides Auckland. I think we are going to have LOADS! Of fun. I have never been to Kawau Island before but I am looking forward to going on a fun trip. I have been living in Auckland for many, many years.

Thinking about my family, I am so going to miss them so much. I think I will cry about leaving my parents and sisters alone. But I think they just want me to have fun. my sisters are a head ache any way.

Fun activities are going to happen there I know because I have heard a lot from my year 7 friends. They just make me feel like going already. I think we are going to be having a terrific time with our friends and teachers. My though is that we are going to finish all the activities each day.

This is a might feel. I might feel sad about coming back or I might be happy. I know it is going to be great to see my family. But is it great leaving Kawau Island?

My Really Enjoyable Holiday

For the first day of my exciting holiday, my family and I went to church for White Sunday. I really enjoyed it because in our class play, I was acting as Jesus. The story was called, “The Last Supper.” Tui and Toreka were in the same class as I was. Everyone did really well when they did their parts in class by class. After White Sunday was finished, we had a BIG BBQ!! I had lots of fun playing with my cousins and eating the the really DELICOUS RIB! That was one of the best days of my life.

During the first week, my family and I went to watch “The Orator.” This movie is a Samoan movie and it is really funny and exciting. It shows people about what we do in Samoa. The Orator also shows people what you have to do if you want to be a chief.

On Friday, the first week, I went to the big sleep over at my aunty and uncle’s house. We actually went earlier at the day time. That means we get to play on the trampoline and play on the big car park next to my aunt and uncle’s enormous house. They live right next to our church because my uncle is the pastor. After that, it was getting dark so we went to inside and got ready to go to sleep. We were talking to each other while we were setting up our bed.

That night passed, and on Saturday, we all went to Mc Donald for breakfast. “MMMmmmm.” I said as soon as I got my Pancakes. I put the syrup and butter on my pancake. After breakfast, we went to bowling. My cousins and I were having a great time. I came third in our pool with 92 point. When our game was finished, we went to the Time Out to play some games and win some for a prize. I won 109 tickets and got me some cool prizes. My prize was a yo-yo and and a really cool rist band.

Next, we went to watch“Real Steel” at the cinemas. It is a REALLY cool movie about robot having a boxing match. My favourite robot witch is Adam was the best robot out of all of them because he won all of his boxing matches. After the great movie, we all went to my cousin Xavier and Caanan’s house. We played kinect and had a lot of fun because we got to sleep there.

We went to Carls Jr on Sunday for a treat. We all went there because we did really well in our Sunday School exams. Carls Jr was very yummy, delicous, crunchy, and tasty. My favourite food there was the onion ring and the happy meal burger which was really big.

For labour day, it was just a relaxing day for us. We were also getting ready for our family meeting at 12:00. The meeting was for our reunion in 2015. I just can’t wait because it is held in Samoa. I am also going to meet some of relatives that I have never met before.

My enjoyable holiday was over and it was a fun holiday for me. I was also glad to come back to school.
