Term 4 “Let the music play”

Today is monday 6th the October, the first day of school from the amazing 2 weeks of holiday we had.
Today Pt England School’s new theme today is “Let the music play” and which that means we can make music out of anything, and it doesn’t mean that we need like gutair, piano or drums, just any objects we found. We will be learning music from different other countries, like japan, china, brazil, anything.

When we had assembly this morning, we sat down and waited paiently for something to happened until we were introduced by Mr. Son ervile’s show, the ones with him was Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Burt, they were dressed up into girls, they were wearing masks and white clothing.- The song they were playing was “Golden” from the kpop demon hunters movie. They started doing their performace like singing and dancing, and it was quite beautiful.

After they were done doing their performace, everyone clapped and watched as they got off the stage then waited for another one to happen. It was team 1’s turn, so everyone in the assembly went quiet. Team 1’s started off with them in the kitchen, playing music with different objects, like broom, scrubber, salt, anything else they kept adding on, and cleaning too. until they were done. It was actually cool, how they kept adding different object sounds from the kitchen.

And it was now team 2’s turn.  Team 2’s one did music based on their emotions, they started the music from the start then changed another version. Once they were finished, it was team 3’s turn. Their one was very simliar to Team 2’s one, it was about the emotions by the way. Team 3 had heaps of videos of showing their emotions and made the music matched with it.

Once team 3 was done.

Beyond the sky.

Dear diary..

Today was the first day of term 2 in school. We were in immersion assembly, sitting silently and listening carefully, waiting for something to happen.. Mr. Burt was just talking about the planets, spaces, universes, stuff like that, until he stopped talking for a moment and stepped out of the view. It looks like it’s team one’s turn now! Their video is called the: Different time zones!..

The screen was on, and everything was silent. Until, the instruments started playing inside the screen. The screen started showing spaces and stars, while playing instruments. It began showing a man(And that man was Mr. Jacobson) wearing something black, but it kinda looks like a.. Diving suit? Huh? He was playing with a little girl, it’s probably his grandaughter, he was jumping around and holding her hands. It seems to be he was next to a swimming pool.

Then that one changed into another scene(It was still team one’s video..) which it shows a person who is wearing a astronaut suit. The person started opening the door and slowly stepped out the door.  The astronaut person began walking around in circles, and then a dog suddenly appreaed in the scene, out of nowhere! The dog began playing along, like running in circles around with that person. The scene cutted, and the astronaut appeared in front of the screen, they were staring at us.

They suddenly placed both hands on top of their helmet and slowly took it off, revealing their face. It was a woman, and her name was..-Mrs. Noa! She held the helmet next to her hip, and waved at the camera. After minutes went passed by, the video ended and everyone appalused and cheered. Well, if I’m correct, it looks like it’s team two’s turn, the- Magical school bus! Yes, I was right. Everyone stopped clapping and stayed quiet, waiting for another video to get started.

Team two’s video started playing and everyone continued to stay quiet, while watching the video carefully. The video was just talking facts about the planets. After that, the video ended and everyone started cheering and clapping, showing some surport. And then, another appreaed on the screen, and it was the Sun, Moon + Earth rap! It was Team 3’s one!. The teachers started rapping for the audiences, and everyone cheered again. It was finally done, and the teachers went back to their previous spots. I’ll admit, their rapping was alright..

Speech

Speech- Good morning, everyone. My name is Anaise, and I’m 11 years old. And today my speech is about the reasons why “People should do exercise everyday!” yes.-”People should do exercise everyday!”

Firstly I think that people should do exercise everyday, because it helps you grow stronger, and have a healthy, skinny body! Unlike these people who don’t work out or exercise every day. First, there are different types of exercise that you can do: “Brisk walking or jogging,Yard work(Mowing,raking..)Dancing,Biking,Swimming,Climbing stairs or hills,Playing tennis balls or basketball.”

 Secondly for those people who don’t work out or exercise, please try and work out or exercise a bit. I mean..-We’ll try our best to work out, and exercise together.. We’ll try and eat healthy foods, like vegetables and drink water everyday. I know you guys don’t like it, it might be a pain.. Though it helps us improve our muscles, and gets us stronger and stronger each everyday! If we keep eating healthy foods, and doing exercises everyday!

finally, people should stop eating junk foods!. It causes us a stitch in our ribs when we jog or run fast. I will stop eating junk foods, for now.. And all of us should stop eating junk foods.. Junk foods are not healthy, for us. It’ll give us unhealthy and fat bodies, If we keep eating Junk foods everyday. Junk food is bad and not good, there are four type of reasons that we should not eat Junk food: One,“diabetes” Two,“Obesity” Three,“Salty” Four,”Sugar” 

In conclusion.. Exercising is a life saver, to your body and a reminder to your brain. Though if you find exercising hard, it’s all about trying your best for your health. So please make sure, you take well care of your health. 

Thank you for listening to my speech, everyone.. Goodbye everyone!

Why should all New Zealanders speak Maori-

Hello Everyone, I’m Ana and I’m a year 7 at Pt England School! Today I’ll be explaining to you all about why all New Zealanders should learn how to speak Te Reo Maori. Because te reo Māori is central to the identity of the Māori people, and learning the language fosters a deeper understanding of their customs, values, and worldview. By embracing te reo, all New Zealanders can honour the country’s rich history

Firstly, I think that all New Zealanders should learn everything about Maori. Because it’s an important language and culture to all of us. We all should respect it, and show pride in it. We, New Zealanders, should be proud that we’re one of them. 

Secondly, I think all children should learn everything about Maori as well. Sometimes they can struggle to speak in Te Reo Maori, they find it kinda hard or difficult. But once they grow up into an adult or teenager, they find it easy now.

Term 2 Inquiry: The Invisible Raincoat Play

This term the whole of team 5 did plays for our theme this term. We were all put into groups to rehearse our plays infront of our assigned class. In my group were, Chevelle, Eve, Bryan, Carlos, and Te Ururoa. We picked our play before practicing our lines. The play we chose was The Invisible raincoat. We all looked at the 6 characters carefully before assigning our characters. All 6 characters were introduced at the start of the play. Inspector was Eve, Border 1 was Te Ururoa, Assistant was Chevelle, Border 1 & 2 was Me and Carlos.. And the Land lady of the Boarding house, was Bryan..

Once some of the groups in room 3, were done doing their play. It was now me and my group’s turn to perform in front of the whole class. So we went up and stood in front of the class, and begin to do our play in front of them.  Some of our lines were a little bit good and bad, we keep doing some mistakes in it. I was kinda shy and nervous, doing my play. while Eve looked so brave and confidence, doing her play. Chevelle was kinda good doing at her play, but she was also shy a bit. Carlos was also good as well in his play, he didn’t look shy like Chevelle and me he just look normal in his play.

After me and my groups were still peforming our play, in front of the class. We were done performing our play. I was so relieved that it was finished.
