Genomics Hui

Today, A few schools had came to pt england. We had to buddy up in a group of 6 or 7. 

I hope all of the schools enjoyed, coming to partner up with the rest of the yr 8s.

BUT I would like to thank all of the teachers for the support, and for making this happen

If you guys weren't here we wouldn't be able to do what we did today. 

So I would just like to say a huge THANK YOU! for all the hard work

You guys put in today!. 

From yours kindly Pt England School from the yr 8s.

This video was us practicing, and how we went 

and what our first try looked like.

Cheek cells.

Today, for science we've been looking at cheek cells, and how to draw your own. so we had a little turn to do it our selves and see how we can make our own drawing look like our cheek cells. there are a few idea's and descriptions on how we did this fun experience.

Zipzap avenue

Today Pt England school, had got a surprise from our zipzap avenue actors, we got to watch there production video that they have been doing a-lot of practice on.

Out of all the actors, that had there little solo parts my favourite one would have to be the transformers, because they had the best woah's and I found it very trendy and interesting. Because the transformers had the best dancers and they we're just all amazing.

And I really think that the best one is, my friend chance's part I liked it because I thought her outfit was the best, and she looked so call and I really thought that her part was the best part, because she was the leader of the group and I was just so proud of my bestie chance to be the leader.

But I would also like to say congradulations to all of the actors, and the helpers that made this production video, happen if it wasn't for all the helpers and the actors in the production, this little video or act wouldn't have happened without you guys!. So I would just like to say a huge big thank you from the year 7s and 8s for putting togehter this amazing act, and we couldn't have enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed your guys one today!. 

Attitude talks: Cybersmart

Yesterday was a very special and funny day, We we're lucky enough to get an attitude talk by a special person called "Toni" he had introduced his-self to the year 7s and 8s, and told us a little bit about himself.

"Toni," was telling the 7s and 8s a little bit about, Technology, And "Online-Friendships." Because of how 2019 generation, Is all about Technology, and "Social-Media" life. Toni had also told us that people rather text, each other than talk face to face in person.

So Toni didn't come to Pt England school to say that the internet was bad he just came to our school to make sure that if we are using wifi, or other devices that connect to some sort of internet, he wanted us to make sure that we know some safe tips of what to do on, websites, and social media apps.

He told us that we should never ever give out personal information, And if we're gonna make friends online we shouldn't, be having friends online unless we know them in real life, because sometimes you never know it could be somebody being very creepy, or there's other things that could happen in that situation.

So in my point of view you should never ever give out your personal information, and never tell people your last name.

But I had really enjoyed, the attitude from toni because he had told me a-lot of things about the internet and how I can be safe on the wifi, So I would also like to say a big thank you to all of the attitude talkers, who have came to Pt England school, and keep doing your hard-work at intertaining us kids, and helping us be safe in places, and real life.

Is Candy Better Than Chocolate.

In my opinion CHOCOLETE Is better than CANDY why you must ask?

Well let me list down a few things that I like about chocolate,

And what I have found out about chocolate.

Okay, so me being so picky over what is better I just really like chocolate, 

I've found out that dark chocolate is very healthy for you, 

Because it contains some healthy products, 

That are useful for your body.

And I also find chocolate better because there are lots of, 

Choices to pick between chocolate bars, And I just really think

That chocolate is better than candy because it's yummy, 

And it always makes me happy.

So in my opinion CHOCOLATE is better.

Cell plants

B.E.D.M.A.S.S

This was some last week that I didn't get to finish so i finished it today
I hope you enjoy my bedmass homework and learn a-lot about what we're
Learning this week.

This is the subject that my teacher told me to do research, or just to explain about
So I've been told to do a little research on cells and parts that are inside the cells
And this is all the information I could find. I hope you enjoy!

Our Cross Country.!

Waking up to a freezing cold breeze blowing through my window, walking out of my bed feeling frozen like ice.

I started getting ready for Pt England Cross Country that will be held on September the 16th, In my head I wasn't ready to run I wasn't prepared for anything to happen so I just kept on thinking about what I was gonna be doing.

I had finally entered the gates out of the year 7s and 8s block, I went inside and heard everybody telling each of there friends how excited they we're to be running and how much they wanted to see everybody wearing colorful colors.

the time had hit for everybody to get changed, in our school you could see all of the house colors, green, blue, yellow, and red. It was exciting to see everybody in there house colors and being so creative with there costumes.

we all started moving towards the courts near the huge field, and watched every year that's in Pt England School have a turn at running around the field, I started to worry about me running around the field because I was getting very scared, because the whole of Pt England School will be watching us.

But at the end of the day I started running with my friends and we had adventurally made it to the end of the race I was very proud of my self and I couldn't believe that I had finish those laps around the massive field I was very proud of myself and I didn't know what to say.

The guts.

Through out this week we've been working on this little slide-show
That professors from Auckland university will be studying on. and we've did
a little research on guts, that are inside animal bodies. and I hope you like my research
about this little gross experience but I hope it helped you a-lot.

Looking through mircoscopes.

Today! at pt England school, we got the opportunity to look through some microscopes, and check out some pretty amazing things.
Like we got to see what dna would look like underneath a microscope, and we even got to see some bugs and what there body parts would look like, if we had to look really closely.

I really think that the only thing that had standed out for me about this new experience, is actually getting to use microscopes in person, without being taught how to use them.
We had got told instructions but we got the chance to learn how to use the scopes, and try to find the cells that is inside of the speciman slides.

I would like to say a huge thank you! to Dr Thierry for letting room 1 use there microscopes, we really appericate everything you did for us Dr Thierry and if you weren't here to teach us how to use these microscopes, they probably would of been broken by the time somebody tried to come and get them.
but I would just like to say a huge thank you to you sir! and this special experience wouldn't have ever happened without you not being here. Thank you sir!

Octopuses

That scientist want to bring back this amazing bird, but I don't agree with them,
Because other issues could happen. I agree with my little statement of why I don't agree
With the scientist bringing the "Moa" bird back.

What Makes Up A Good Education.

Would you want to know, how to get a good education,  and what you can do to have a good future…? Well if you do keep reading!

Having a good education, what could that be. Well maybe we should start off with the small things that everybody can do, waking up early, having a healthy lunch, and paying close attention to the teacher while she’s giving you notes or information for your work.

First, I really think that paying close attention to your teacher will help you a-lot for your exams and tests, because if you don’t listen or pay any attention you won’t know how to find the answer to what your trying to figure out or won’t know how to find the answer.

Second, Don’t talk when the teacher is talking, I really think that not talking when the teacher is talking is showing that you have respect for that person, and also I really think not talking to when the teacher is talking is very respectful because I really think you wouldn’t like it if you we’re talking and somebody kept talking when you we’re talking so, I really think that not talking when the teacher is talking it’s very respectful.

And third of all, just simply looking at the teacher and showing her or him that you paying attention and listening to them, could just help and make there working time a-lot easier, or even asking them if they need a hand with something that could be very nice for the teacher.

So I really think that having a good education, to start off with that I really think you should be having close connection with your teachers or even just having a little connection with your teacher could help you a-lot. Through out your life.

Battle

This week we have been reading a story book, that has been about battle's.
we've wondered and had talks about how we can finish this slide-show off
and what we're the correct answers that could be put into this slide-show.
So this is all of the answers I have managed to put into my slide-show and I hope
they could explain heaps of details about 'battle', the story we've been reading about!.

What Makes Up A Good Friend.

What makes up a ‘good friend’ and how to find out if you have one.

Good moments, Bad moments, there’s always that one person who can
bring a smile to your face, If you wanna find out what makes a ‘good friend’ then keep
listening.

In my point of view I’ve found out a-lot of things about having loyal friends. Loyal friends
could just be people who take time to listen to you if you’re having a hard time, or even
just somebody who keeps you company 24/7 that could make up a ‘good friend’

Or you could just have that one person who stands out to you, out of your group of
friends. Like you could have a really strong connection with them or even just knowing
you guys have something in common with each-other.

But I really think that having a ‘good friend’ does help in life because sometimes your
always gonna need that one person who is always gonna be by your side and who is
always gonna encourage you and others.

So what I really think is that having a ‘good friend’ helps everybody once in a while, and
I really think that you don’t need to change your group of friends who your hanging out
with, if you don’t think there the right friends for you then I think you should do
something
about that, but I also think that you shouldn’t leave your friends who have been by your
side just to make new friends. So I really suggest stay loyal to your friends, and never lie
to them.

Area, Perimeter & Volume.

This week we've been doing a-lot of area and perimeter and volume, task and I hope this week I can show you a-lot of things that we have did in our task.

I hope you enjoy!

Fragile web of life

For the past weeks weeks we’ve been doing a-lot of research and brainstorming with my
inquiry
class, We’ve been learning about the tree of life and how other animals evolved in other places
around the world. 

We’ve also learnt that there is more smaller creatures that we haven’t found because they are
too little to see and if we wanted to see them we would have to at least use a microscope to see
them, I’ve also found out that animals have evolved more and more and light and energy and
water is possible to make life.

This is my little paragraph about our little research the picture is half of the brainstorming that
we have did around the past weeks. 

I hope you enjoy!!.

Octopus

This week for inquiry we've been learning about octopuses
and how there bodies are kinda the same as human-beings.

We've been finding out a-lot of information about octopuses
and how there strange bodies can be compared to humans.

I've found out that they are very capable of doing amazing things
that are very intelligence and requires a-lot of control.

I have found out that there are a-lot of different types of ways
that they can warn other creatures of the same specifies to
warn each other by changing different types of colors to warn
them.

They also have to make a-lot of decisions every single day to find out
how they will be surviving in the wild and how many times they need to
camouflage, did you also know that octopuses could also make bee-lines
even through they have short-term memory lost they have ways
of finding there ways back home.

I hope this little research of me finding out how the octopus body works,
helped you learn more about octopuses and also got your interested of learning
about octopuses yourself.

Walt: This week we have been doing a research on octopuses and we've learnt a-lot of things about them, I've found out a few facts that I have never knew about octopuses, We've also learnt what they do in life to survive and also learnt what they do to feed there kids.

how much fun it was.

Immersion Assembly

Immersion Assembly

On a cold winter's freezing cold morning, as me and the year 8s
we’re walking into the hall smelling and hearing all the little
kids screaming of joy and excitement. 

I couldn’t imagine what today was going to be like! I was
thinking to myself what would our topic be, what will all the
teachers crazy costumes and goofy movies be like..? 

As we all sat down at once the movies had began, year by year
each going up and showing their little movie and presentation,
and explain to everybody what they will be learning about. 

I really think my favourite year would be the year 1s, Because I
found it very entertaining with them driving into the water and
helping us and showing us what the sea-life creatures looked
like in their habitats and how we could help them to fix
everything, and save our sea-life creatures. 

I would also like to say a big thank you! Too all the teachers
for taking their time to make a simple little movie just to
explain to us what we will be learning about, and I know you
guys would have to take in a lot of hours and minutes of your
holiday just to make a simple little clip for us, and we really
appreciate the hard work you guys do for us! And again I would
just like to say a big Thank you! To all the teachers.

Jack & The beanstalk

Once a upon time there was a boy named “Jack” He lived in a very poor community his
family wasn’t very rich, and he didn’t have that much stuff that the other kids had, so it was very
hard for him to fit in with other people.

One day he went exploring to find something to eat for there family, then he walked upon an elderly
man, he was gonna give “Jack” A deal he would give “Jack” 3 magical beans but the old man gave
him no permission to plant them, he said only plant them incase of an emegency.

“Jack” Had took the deal and happly walked home, As he walked inside he told his “Mum” The
exciting news, But he knew she wasn’t very pleased about what he did, So she told him to plant the
beans and hope they grow quickly, “Jack” Planted each seed one by one and kept saying My beans
will grow strong and big.

5 Minutes later, something magical had happened but something really bad “Jack” Had caused a huge
beanstalk to grow all the way up into the clouds and never come down, “Jack” realised that he made a
big mistake, and couldn’t do anything about it. What do you think will happen next to be continued

An Unfinished tale story.

Where should Miss Tele'a Put Her T.V

Hi "Miss Tele’a", I see that you having an issue with finding out where to put your T.V that’s
where I can come in and help you, To place your new flash T.V.

I really think it would be a good idea, To place your new T.V In the living room,
Because there’s lots of reason’s why you should put the T.V there.

First reason, You could have some guest coming around to your house, Or even family
member’s. And they maybe bring there kids around, And you want of course you wanna talk
to the adult’s, and not go running after the kid’s, So that’s when the T.V can come in and keep
them occupied, By watching a program or movie.

And I know their can be other thing’s that could go wrong with putting the T.V in the living room,
Like baby could push it over, Or there could be other thing’s, Like people could bust it over,
push it over, or could some how break the screen.

I hope you really, Think that putting the T.V in the living room is a good idea, And I understand
if you don’t agree with putting the New T.V in the living room because lots of thing’s could
happen if you put the T.V in the living room. I hope you understand what point I am going with
your’s kindly.

Walt: This is writing that we had to do, We got the chance to help out our teacher, with her little
Issue, She was thinking of putting her new T.V in the living room or her bed room.

Polyfest

Waking, up in the morning to a cold breeze, Today i’m excited cause the year 7s &
8s got the chance to go to polyfest, If you don’t know what polyfest is I can give you
a little explaination, Of what “Polyfest” Is. “Polyfest” is an event that happens in
new zealand it’s the largest school cultural event, with almost 10,000 performers
every year.

We got put into, Pod’s of 5 I was in pod 2, Our helper’s we’re “Miss moala”
and “Miss Tapuke”. We had some activites to do, To keep us occupied for the day,
Driving towards manurewa waiting until we get there, as we got to the bus stop seeing
the other schools walking towards the entrance was making me more excited to be
going to “Polyfest”.

Walking through, And passing the other school’s, We got introduced to our
guiding person, who was taking us through the polyfest, She was a very kind person
I thought to myself was activites we’re we going to do, We had some pretty weird
thing’s to do that you wouldn’t expect to do in polyfest, we had virutal reality, Singing
challenge’s, and dance off battles between 5 school’s.

Polyfest was the best event we had this, Term I can’t wait until more come
along, I hope you enjoyed my story about polyfest.
