2016 Hightlights

For term 1 my highlight was the first day of school because I got to know the year 7’s and even got to know most of the year 8’s at year 8 camp. My highlight from term 1 was year 8 camp because I got to know most of the year 8’s and I just enjoyed working as a team with everyone.

My highlight from term 4 was Parakai because the year 7 and 8’s got to spend more time there before the year 8’s leave for college. I loved going to parakai because it gave us year 8’s to have one last opportunity to have fun and make the most of it with everyone.

My highlight of the year was being at Pt England School for one last year. I have a lot of highlights from this year but my favourite was just being a student of Pt England School.

Senior Prize giving

Last week on Thursday the year 5's - 8's had their senior prize giving. I really enjoyed Prize giving because this was my last year at Pt England school. I was really proud of everyone on Thursday night because everyone gave it their all and supported each other while performing. What I was really looking forward to was who the prefects and house captains would be for next year. I was really proud of who the new prefects and house captains are because I believe they can take care of the school while we're gone and I know they are perfect for the job because they can handle all this responsibility and i'm just really proud of them.

No more bullies and take charge poster

Our task for literacy was to find a partner and create a poster about problems around the world and how we can solve it. Me and my partner Jessica decided to do no more bullies because bullies are everywhere and they need to stop. We also decided to do take charge because everyone needs to take charge and focus.

Four Four's Challenge

Hello Bloggers, Our task for maths was to make this Four Four's Challenge. In this presentation it has a bit of a challenge in it. Firstly we had to get a dice and roll it 4 times and put the number in a box. Then we had to try add those numbers up and try reach it to the target. On the first slide my target was 12 and the numbers I got were 4, 7, 9, 5. If you look at the slide it will show my working out but, I did not quite reach 12, I got 11 which was close to the target. I really like this presentation because it was a cool warm up to get the day ready for maths.
