Hello there Bloggers! In the beginning of week 8, Mr Ross ( which is the best teacher in school ) made us do this thing that is called story starters of creative writing. A story starter is when you have a sentence and then you continue with your own sentences. Mr Ross chose these sentences to start with, It was a dark and stormy night, But mum is not, I woke in a sweat and No.This is my story starter that I made. Pleas feel free to comment on this blog post. 😆 😇

FRIDAY FUN DAY!!!!!!!!

Our amazing school has organize a day where all the families come and have a fun day with their children. This day was held on a Friday. The school wanted to do it on Cornwallis beach but we found out that the water was polluted, so instead we did it at school. The day included bush walk, a clean up at the beach, a swim at the school pool and much more activities. There were 4 groups, Pokeko, Kea, Tui, Ruru. The school said that we had to wear our house team colour. In the beginning, our team went for a bush walk. The bush walk took about 15 Min. Then in our way, we found a park.

So for almost a hour we played there. After playing in the Waikowhai park, we went down to the beach and we all joined in for a clean in the beach.  
The beach had lots of glass in it. After the clean up, we went back to school to have lunch. After having lunch, our team went to have a swim in the refreshing pool, or was it having fun on the water slide? Either of these, we had fun with the water splashing at our burning hot faces. After a few hours, we went out to do some teamwork activities. this included spider web, The jungle, water island and poisonous ship. All of these had something to do with teamwork. After all these tiring and fun stuff, we went back to our classrooms to say our goodbyes. Please feel free to comment.😇

How we got to New Zealand.

This week with James for cyber smart, we were learning about why people come to new Zealand. James shared with us a map so we could also share where we were born with room 8 and 9. Here is the map we made....



James also made some questions  for us to answer. Here are the questions. You can answer them in the comments if you like!

How far have some students travelled in their lifetime to reach WPS?
 Joshua Cossey had to go over 80,00 KM to get to here. Faidhi Also had to take over 80,00 Km to get here.

Why do people make the choice to move to different countries?

There are many different reasons for people to move countries. Take China as a example, you can't have more than 1 child there. And some people come to New Zealand because of wars in other countries.

Is this a trend in NZ society? What does the media tell us?
This is a trend around New Zealand, but not all New Zealand. The media is telling us that people are taking over all New Zealand and that there are going to be no more houses for New Zealand people.


James also showed us a video that is emotional but powerful. It is about year 4 children saying lies that people told them and the year 4 children what is the lie and what is not. Here is the video he showed us. Please feel free to comment!

WARNING: You might need tissues if you cry a lot in this video.

The Lie from Untitled Productions on Vimeo.

When I watched this video I felt sad, But later on, they said what is the truth about what people said about them. I am a Muslim, and this is true, I am not a terrorist. What they said is true. White and black people are not bad. We can talk english well. I felt so happy when this video finished. It made me feel strong.

My famous idol.

A week ago, as a class project, we had to make a slide about our favourite famous idol. We had to find facts about the person/team we were doing. My one is about Maher Zain. He is a singer in a language named Arabic. Here is my slide. there are some facts about him if you want to know him better. Please feel free to comment!

Where were we born?

On Monday, James came to room 7 to teach us something about maps. He told us to go to our cyber smart page and write our names and where we were born. Then told us to go on to maps and write where every person in room 7 was born in. Most of them were born in Auckland hospital. This is what I did. Please feel free to comment.
