Another Holiday Of Nothingness!

Woo Hoo! I was so eager to go home but found out that we were staying home for the holidays. I mean staying home isn't that bad but since it was the holidays I felt the need that I had to go outdoors and enjoy the breeze. I know that some people had a good holiday because they got to play fortnite or go on the internet 24/7 but that seems dull. I wanna go to an amusement park or go somewhere you can explore and investigate.

One of the things I did during the holidays was listening to music. The one thing that satisfied me was music. I have a big passion for music including dancing, singing, etc. Not many people know this but it's true, I love music so much that I need a break from it sometimes. Sorry to say but this is
pretty much the only thing that I enjoyed in the holidays. Take care and make sure that if you're having the same problem as me, nag your Mum and Dad to take you somewhere out of the house. It's not only good for you but I ensure you that you'll have fun.

Task Description -

Do you like the feeling of being cooped up in your house? I don't like it at all but sometimes you just have to deal with it. Some things that you could probably do if your at home doing nothing is begging your parents to go somewhere! Maybe don't do that but that's the best option I have, unless your a music freak like me.

Fractions Finale!

WALT: We are learning to multiply fractions

Task Description -

How To Be A Good Role Model/Leader!

Leadership, Courage, Yourself…. These are the key things that I believe that make you a good role model. If you keep reading this and I guarantee you’ll become a great role model

Looking behind the person…. A good role model always has people following them. A speech that our principal said to us is “Look behind the person who is walking and if no ones behind him/her then him/her is not a leader!”.

Be Courageous, Be like a lion and take your rightful place. Be the king and lead your people to the place they belong. Being a leader/role model takes courage and strength, you need to be strong for the people around you, you need to be that one person who takes responsibility and looks after everyone.

Kindness/Generosity! If I were to become a role model, the one thing I would concentrate on is being kind and caring for my whanau who surrounds me. Being kind to people can make your life change into something new, something better! Things you can do to be nice is helping them with their work, giving them things that they might not have or you could just give them space. Some people need space because they have hard times with their life.

Being yourself. This might not seem like the greatest idea but if you think about it, being yourself is the most important thing to being a good role model. Explaining being yourself is kind of weird because you should know how to be yourself so all I can say is…. Be Yourself!

Demonstration is good for little kids. Explaining things to kids can be complicated so demonstrating it’s easier than explaining to little kids. An example - you could be explaining something to kids but they’ll just look at you confused, if you demonstrate it they’ll understand easier.

You could do many things to become a good role model or leader. Sometimes you don’t actually have to do all these things to be greatest leader, you could be the quiet one but everyone follows everything you do!

Weekly Blog

This week I have been going to life education. Life education may sound boring to most people but to me it's really fun. I get to learn about what really makes you the person that you are right now and for me that's really special. I get to find out who i truly am and what kind of things do people think of me. On the first week we did this little personality test and I became a turtle. A turtle is someone who is patient, humble, hates arguing, loves being around people, takes their time on making discussions and so on. Life education is a good opportunity to find out who you really are. Well that's all from me I really hope that you will enjoy life education just like I did😁

What Have I Been Doing Lately????

Its the School Holidays and its been pretty boring. All I've been doing is cleaning up and watching my cousin's games. My cousin's name is Naomi and she plays for the East Auckland Storms. She's won her first game against Central and today she is going against West Storms, but unfortunately i couldn't go to support her so i have to wait until she comes back to here if she lost or won, but i'm really hoping that she wins so good luck to her. Well that's pretty much what I've been doing for the school holidays but i hope we get to do something fun next week.

My Highlight About Term 2!

This term has been amazing but its very sad that Mrs Sio has gone now, she will be coming back but she will be going to Team 4 in Room 6. I think my highlight for this term was TEAM BUILDING!!!

What's even more better is that we have Mrs Tele'a now and she's really fun. I hope you enjoyed my opinion about what i liked most about this term.

"Should Student's Get Paid"

“Should Students Get Paid”

Well my opinion is that I disagree, Why? Because the school needs the money to give to other people out there that need Health Medication. The reason why I chose this opinion because it’s true. The school does give money to the people that are in a lot of pain. E.G if the teachers kept giving us students money we would spend it on less important things and also the people that are in pain will have to suffer for a long time. So I disagree about getting paid.
