The Tokelauan Way Of Life

This term for Social Studies our theme is "Globalisation." Globalisation means the process by which businesses or other organisations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale. Our class has been learning about the small island in the South Pacific called Tokelau. Tokelau is unique because kids that go to school use boats to transport. Did you know you can't fly to Tokelau you have to fly to Samoa then take a boat to Tokelau which will take 3 days.

Today we watched a video about Tokelau called ‘Our Small World.  The Tokelauan way of life is different to ours because their life is different. 1. Students take a boat to school, "How cool is that" & 2. Everyone Tokelau know each other.

A Successful Finish!

A few weeks ago our movie was screened at Hoyts Cinemas in Sylvia Park. It was for the Manaiakalani Film Festival. We started our first shoot in July and finished our last one in September - so that was about two months of shooting.
We had a few ups and downs shooting the movie, agreeing and disagreeing to certain things but we got through it. After we finished shooting and editing our movie we were really impressed so we decided to go with that. After the screening at the Cinema we had some really positive comments from teachers and students even some from other schools. If you haven't seen our movie yet then click on the video below - that was A Successful Finish!.

   

My Prediction!!

My Prediction!!

Our P.A.T testing has started and we've done a few, so today's blog is about My Prediction on our next test. I predict that we'll be having a test on Thursday and the subject might be Vocabulary. The reason why I have chosen this subject is because we have done our writing test, reading test, maths test and gloss test. If you want to know if my prediction is right then stay tuned until the next blog THANK YOU.

There's Plants Everywhere!!

There's Plants Everywhere!!

A few weeks ago, we went to the Auckland Botanic Gardens. Everyone was excited to go even the teachers. When we arrived everyone was thrilled to go there. All classes followed each other but my class went our own way. Before starting our journey we stopped and I was put in charge as our map guider. First off we went into the Rock Garden to the Urban Trees, Threatened Native Plants and lastly to The Native Plant Identification Trail. At the end we went for a drink and strolled back to the bus. Everyone had fun, I also had a great time being our map guider and we were all exhausted, arhhhhhhh.

Receiving My Cross Country Certificate

Last term we had our school cross country race and I did a blog about that so go and check it out. It is called 2nd At Cross Country. But this blog is about me receiving my cross country certificate.

This happened last term straight after the lunch time bell, "RINGGGG!" We had to line up in front of the library and wait for our teachers to go in. We went in and sat down. First off the certificates were sent out to the Third placers, then next Second placers, where I was placed. My name was called and I went up and received my certificate from our sports teacher, Mr Reid. Next we took photos and went back to class and took some more photos and some videos.
