Camp Concert

CAMP CONCERT !!!

Atmosphere is a complex word to describe what a place feels like. I was courageous when I had to perform on the stage on the night of the camp concert. On Concert night we had to perform a dance and had to use a jump jam song. My group was called Respect Squad and we picked ‘Poi E’. Poi E is a popular Maori song.

The item we performed was a dance from a New Zealand movie called ‘Boy’.
We had to keep in time and had to copy the moves off the movie. Our theme song
was traditionally made from a group of people.

At the end of the concert we came in 6th place. After our group performed it was
time for others to go on. Mr Barks handed out prizes for the best kayaker
skater and more other things.

I liked camp because we learnt lots of games and did lots of camp activities.

Dr.Ben Carson

On Tuesday Pt England students went on a bus to see Dr. Ben Carson at the Telstra Clear Events Centre. Dr. Ben Carson came from a poor family and he wasn't brainy in his class room. He had always been the dumbest until his mum told him to learn his timetables every night and read 2 books every week. At the end of the week he had to explain what the story was about.

After he told us about his childhood he told us what college he went to and what university he attended .Dr. Ben Carson attended Yale University for his undergraduate degree, the Medical School of the University of Michigan for his M.D. Eventually he became a doctor.

After Ben Carson told us what college he attended he said a speech THINK BIG!!!. Talent, Honest, Insight, Nice, Knowledge Books, In depth learning, and God. At the end everyone got a UP&GO drink and a apple to take.

As we got back to school I enjoyed learning about Dr.Ben Carson’s life
and how he managed to separate conjoined twins.

Potaua,Picnic

On a Magnificent hot day Pt England School went down to the re severe for a picnic.

As we headed down to the beach Mr Burt told us some safety rules were we can go and can’t go.After Mr Burt told us the safety rules we went and found our picnic area on the hill.As we found our picnic area I raced over to were the softball was.

While I was playing softball I bated the ball real far but Kingston’s dad caught it so I was out.When I was on second base James smacked the ball real far that he got us all home and we were safe.The empire was Mr Somerville he said that was a outstanding hit to James.The score was tight at 4 all but at the end we won.

When I finish playing Softball I had lunch.After having lunch I went over to the singing competition.The singing competition was by Mr Jay’s car.After a while we had to pack up and we started to walk back to school. When I arrived at school I was dieing of thirst so I sprinted right over to the fountain and drank allot of water.

At the end of the day I was Tied well as Exhausted .I can’t wait to go back
down to the Pt England re serve next year.

Netball

Guess what? Last week room 21 got to play netball on the hard courts with Liz. Netball is a hard sport because you have to have good shooting skills well as good passing. As we did netball with Liz she showed us how to pass the ball and how to hold the ball. Liz was our instructor (teacher). She taught us some techniques and drills.

The first drill we did was the chest pass. As we did the chest we played a little game. After the game we learnt how to bounce pass. The bounce pass is holding the ball and bouncing it to the next person.

As we played we got put into groups and played a little game of netball. We had to shoot the ball into the circle and if we did we got 1 point. The other lesson we did was intercepting. Intercepting is hard because you have got to have speed and good catching skills.

As we learnt how to intercept the ball we also played a game of ball tag. The aim of the game was trying to get the most people out and trying to intercept it. I had lots of fun and learnt lots of skills from netball. Liz taught me how to pass the ball as well as intercept. I hope we get to learn lots more skills.

Treaty of Waitangi

1)A long time ago, British people sailed the sea and found new land called Aotearoa. The people that lived there were Maori. During the 1840’s Maori and British had a disagreement over land. So a treaty was needed.

2)A treaty is an express agreement under international law that governments sign. A treaty is an official, express written agreement that states use to legally bind themselves.

3)Hone Wiremu Heke Pokai was a Māori rangatira (chief) and war leader in Northern New Zealand and a nephew of Hongi Hika.He was the leader of a Maori tribe.

4)The treaty was about the 3P’s. Protection, partnership, and participation. Protection means protecting yourself and protecting others. It also means protecting things you love. Partnership is co-operating with others like your friends and family. Partnership is also team-work. Team-work helps things go faster in life. Participation is participating in the things you like or dislike.

5)At Pt England School we learn about the 3 P’s.Protection,partnership and
participation.

Potaua My Holiday

P1: In the holidays me and my family went to the Panmure lagoon.As we got there we jumped out of the car and straight into the pool.When the hydro slide opened me and my cousin raced up the stairs and went down.While we were there we watched people have a bombing challenge in the bombing pool.

P2:After that we had lunch next to the hydro slide entrance.As we were having lunch I sprinted right over to the indoor pools because it got cold.When I was in the inside pools me and my brother were playing wrestling.

P3:When me and my brother were playing wrestling we played passes in the outside pools.While we were playing passes I watched my cousin do a bomb.As he did a bomb the life guard walked over and told him we ain't allowed to bomb here because there are to much people swimming


P4:As we were packing up to go home we were allowed to go on the Hydro slide 2 more times.At the end of the day it was cool and I really enjoyed my day out at the Panmure lagoon
