My Brothers Arrival!

Later today at 12:00 Mid - day my two older brothers (Jordan & Levi) are arriving at the Airport, they were very lucky to have this opportunity to go on a Kapa Haka Europe Trip. they started with an 11 hour flight to Hong Kong, than the plane had to refuel, the next country was a 12 hour flight to London where they went on the London eye, they visited Buckingham Palace and witnessed Big Ben. After all the excitement the group was very lucky to go on the Euro Star, the euro star is an electronic bullet train that took them underwater all the way to Belgium,

As soon as they left Belgium they had to come back to France early, so that they can catch their flight to Hong Kong. As they visited places all around different parts of Europe their journey was coming to an end. So today at 12:00 Mid - day they are coming back home.

The Night of FiaFia - 20!8 Recount

As the sun went down, the lights flickered into life, the crowd suddenly started to make noises and

cheered, at that moment we entered the stage. Last night on the 12th of April PES had our very own
FiaFia, I bet your thinking in your head “What is FiaFia” Well let me explain, FiaFia is a
celebration of cultures where we acknowledge all the Cultures around the world.

This years FiaFia was a bonus, it was the last day of the term, it was FiaFia night, I was an MC and I was in Kapa Haka. In our Kapa Haka group we sang 3 Waiata (3 Songs) and 2 Haka’s, my brother performed like a Warrior and I performed like a leader (According to Mr Burt the Principal) all the parents were excited to see there children performing like stars. What an amazing night, I’m sure I will remember it forever.

Splash Splash Splash

Racing through the gate entrance, I am keen for a swim especially in the hot weather, with the sun beaming down on our skin heating our body's. I take my t - shirt off and grab my googles, my brothers already jumped in a head of me for a swim.

The water felt refreshing and cold, we had an awesome time doing handstand competitions and seeing how many flips we could do underwater. The hand stand comp was to see how long you could hold your breathe under water, we did Oldest to Youngest, so my mother went first, she started and her score was 11 seconds, then Jordan (my brother) he unfortunately scored 7 seconds, then it was time for me, I started to breathe heavily before I started, I held my breathe for 24 seconds underwater and did a perfect hand stand formation WOW! Then it was time for my little brother Toby he scored 13 seconds which placed him 2nd. So the winner was ME!

As I dipped my head under the water it felt like I was floating in space like an astronaut, Fact: There is know gravity in water, it disperses in proportion to your weight. (In other words) Heavier objects sink faster, lighter objects sink slowly or don't sink at all. It was the perfect time to swim because as soon as we got in the car to go back home it started to rain heavily, we started the engine, and we were off.

Part 1 Biscuiting

                                                                                       

As I slid through the water on an inflatable Biscuit, water sprayed in my eyes and I could barely see.
Have you ever been on a inflatable biscuit before? It looks a lot like the picture at the top of this piece
of writing. It is a inflatable raft that holds a portion of people at a time. in my family we have two biscuits
and they are similar to the one above the writing.

At the end of 2017 in the Christmas Holidays we had the chance to take our new boat out for a spin.
we had a boat before, but that was bad quality and wasn’t good, so my father decided to purchase a new
boat. As we walked down to the water and sat on the ramp we couldn’t see the boat insight,
so we sat there and waited and waited, until finally we saw the new boat speeding towards us.
Dad tied the rope to a hook under the motor so that it will pull the biscuit forward, Toby,
Camryn and I were the first to hop on and to test out the biscuit.

“Ready… 3..2..1”

Noah's Term 3's Reflection - Makey Makey

Last term we made a virtual gameshow on Scratch using Makey makey. We had to make a game that could be almost like Family feud, we worked in groups of 3 or 4, in my team was Mitchell, Kyron, Simon and I. We had a choice to make either a band, a game that is suitable for a disability or simply a Game show. The Yr 7 & 8 extension group were very lucky to have the help of OMG tech and Zoey (A worker for OMG tech) The focus for the term was "Guardians of the Galaxy"

The game show got harder and harder because we had less time every week, we started making positions for the team and where to set up for the presentation, if people wanted to play they would have to have two people, then we would make a buzzer for the people to push when the question was said.

We used play dough for our buzzers, and used crocodile wires to make the buzzer play the sound that was selected on the computer. I enjoyed learning how to use scratch and Makey makey.

Noah's Laser Tag Experience

                                      

Hello Readers, how is it going? Are you having fun in the school holidays, well I will be writing          to you about my experience about LASER TAG! Laser tag is a game played with friends and family; you have suits and guns, the guns shoot laser beams out from the front of the gun and the vests that you wear have sensitive targets on the front and back of your vest, and also shoulder targets aswell (You will see the gun and vest on the top right hand corner)

You would have probably guessed by now that I went to laser tag with my Family, and that it was awesome and had so much fun. So back to the story, As my mother drove out of the Pakuranga Plaza carpark, I was so excited that I didn’t stop talking the whole ride to our destination. We finally got there, told the lady at the desk that we were going to be playing Laser tag/Laser strike for an hour, after that we were told to follow an instructor where he told us to wait and watch the screen telling us boundaries things that we are allowed and not allowed to do.

Then the doors opened and we were told to put on vests it didn’t matter which colour you had it would change unless you asked for it to be changed, the man played this voice recording of this lady saying “Game will Start...NOW!” As soon as I heard that message the music started playing and I ran to a corner to sneak attack someone.(By the way we had four rounds but I’m going to skip 3 of them) the game went on as we shot each other, points got higher, people came and left and the place got so hot and Smelly (Like B.O Smelly) on the very last game this new family came in and had lots of kids that would stay in one big group, so it was a easy target. So there you have it hopefully you can go to Laser Tag because trust me with heaps of friends and family it is Magnificent!

Guardians of the Galaxy Immersion Assembly Term 3

What a great start for term three, this term our whole topic is based on planet earth and beyond, the topic’s name is none other than the Guardians of the Galaxy. Would you like to know what the five teams have created in the holidays for there class focus. The reason why I liked this terms Immersion assembly is because it was much different than the other assembly’s.

Team 1 - Team 1’s focus was all about learning about the sun, the moon, outer space and how it works, they are also learning about how the earth keeps people alive. The team leader Miss Hockley came out and explained what they were doing and why she had giant glasses on.

Team 2 - Team 2’s topic focus was about how the sun and the moon change the earth. There movie was very interesting by how they sang and danced around, I really enjoyed there awesome costumes.

Team 3 - Team 3’s topic focus was about Time and seasons. In there movie they had trouble with time and how fast it went, they said they couldn’t set a time to make a meeting because of everything that was going on.

Team 4 - Team 4’s topic focus was all about exploring the universe by travelling to other places and seeing if it is safe for human lives, in the control room workers are smacking their keyboards to see if the astronaut was doing okay and how to move the rocket through space and set the destination.

Team 5 - Team 5’s topic focus is all about how tides change by the moon, also about what the moon is and the distance in space, One of the most important things that we are focusing on is the Gravitational pull.

The most informative movie was Team 1’s movie because they showed the most information about the planets and the stars and how hot the sun can be when people/astronauts go into space.

I think the most entertaining item would have to be team 5’s magnificent band, it was the most entertaining because all of the team 5 teachers were playing instruments and being silly, Mrs Judd however was lead singer and was very good at it.

The things I am looking forward in term 3 is learning about space and other planets, I also want to know more about people visiting other planets and seeing if there is another planet safe for humans.

Today our class is focusing on our Key Competencies. Our aim was to stay on task and see how much progress we make for maths in one maths block. This should set the standard for how much work we complete each time we have numeracy.
