Improving My Goal

"Wow, I never thought that would improve so well in my Studyladder Math. I'm very very glad that I've done half of it and doing another half on Wednesday. I think that I'm improving so well in my Studyladder maths. LOVES TO LEARN!

Camp Highlights

I shouted out in the house to my mum and dad that, camp was coming up very quickly. I was feeling very excited because it was our 22nd time at school and going out for Camp. I quickly packed my clothes till Monday. Monday to Wednesday, I thought that it wasn't to quick but it was just right for everyone to have fun and enjoy. The activities that we had to participate in every single day was Kayaking, The Point England Amazing Race, Boxing Fit, Cooking Prep and Old School Games with Mr. Harris. Every single night, after dinner, the whole senior kids would search for a place to practice their item for Tuesday night. On the last day which would be Wednesday we will all go to Swimarama.

One of the standouts for about camp was cooking.The reason why cooking stands out to me is because I really love cooking food for the whole world which is why I want to be a chef. I cook at home and at my sisters Cafeteria at Alexandra Park and at The Netball Centre down on Morrin Road.

My next stand out for me is Old school games. I was wondering what old school games were. I knew that we had to pop other people's balloons in on the grass. First we had to get a balloon each and blow it up, from the size of our head. Tie a string to the balloon to our legs and very very carefully walk it to the grass to pop other people's balloons. The nest game was called the prate game, it was very interesting because we had to run around and act like pirates. I thought that the people in my team really enjoyed it. This game that we also played was this egg game when you have to get a partner and stand behind the rope and start throwing the egg by under throwing it. I love that game so much that I want to play it during school is well.

Goals For School

Plan

Intro: What is my goal for this year
P.1 What am I looking foward to do
P.2 What will be my favourite thing
p.3 How do I feel about Point England School?
Conclusion: What will be my goal for next year?


For 2012, my goal is to work hard not necessarily smart. I love my netbook so much that I want to take it home with me everyday but that depends when I get permission from my parents. I love to play games but that's not my goal, sometimes I have to do school work and on Friday I get to have free time. If I can't finish my work I need something that would help me get my work done on time so that I can go on anything. Well I call it Freee Time.

What I'm looking forward to do for this year is to play more sports hopefully take my netbook with me when I go home. I still can't wait for Camp because it's coming up really soon. I hope everyone will have fun this year because we all had a great start this year.

My favourite thing this year is Netball and my subject is Topic, Writing, Maths and Reading. My most thing when I work is to be focused. I hope I get all my subjects done.

I feel really happy that I'm at this school and it's a lucky school because we all get to have a netbook each. I'm glad that I have friends at this school and a teacher to tech my class a lesson. Love this school.

What I'm looking forward for 2013 is to have a lovely year like this year, 2012. Love having everybody working so hard on their and the teachers doing everything for the school. Hope the seniors get to have Camp all Year so that they could have fun.

A Very Tragec Story

Hello and welcome to my story of two girls fighting over a boy. This sounds really sad because this 10 yr old girl Joanna died. The title of this story is "Fight Over Boy' Leaves US Girl "Dead", it's actually from the news. First the beginning of this true sad story is that, after school two very young girls got into a fight just about a boy. Their school name was called, Southern California Elementary School, this young girl told her mother that she was feeling very ill on the way home.

Joanna the girl that was fighting, died hours later. She was complaining to her mother that she wasn't feeling well so they went home. Joanna's mother changed her clothes and took her to the hospital but it was too late. She was in coma when they took her to the hospital.

Joanna died at a Long Beach hospital at 9 pm Friday, about six hours after the fight in an alley. People have not released the girl's name, the one who was fighting with Joanna. The daughter's mother was crying so bad to know what happened. Police, who have interviewed the other girl involved in the fight, were investigating and said that no arrests were immediately planned.

Impossible by Shontelle - Lyrics

Do any of you know Shontelles song called Impossible,
well if not here it goes.

Lyrics of “Impossible” By Shontelle

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

And you were strong and I was not,
My illusion, my mistake,
I was careless, I forgot,
I did


And now when all is done,
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them


Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the Skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible,
Impossible, impossible,
Falling out of love is hard
Falling for bretrayal is worst
Broken trust, Broken Hearts
I know, I know
Thinking all you need is here
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know (I know)
And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say
And if your done embarrassing me
On your own go ahead tell them


Tell them all I know now,
Shout it from the roof tops,
Write it on the skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy
In my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

ooh impossible (yeah) (yeah)

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did

Tell all I know now
Shout it from the roof top
Write it from the Skyline
All we had is gone now
Tell them I was happy ( I was happy)
And my heart broken
All my scars a open
Tell them what i hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did, I did



The story to this song is about a women saying that she remebers years ago that someone told her that she would take caution when it comes to love and she did. Also saying that someone is strong and saying that she’s not. Her heart is broken and all her scars open. She’s telling them what she hoped would be impossible.

The End of Story.

My Awesome Time At Alexandra Park

From the very beginning of my holidays, my sister, my brother in law went to Alexandra Park for Breakfast and I realized that she works their. I felt kind of shy and scared because it has been my first time their, talking to my sister's friends made me feel like I get to know them better then my sister. After ordering my breakfast I was looking to see what it looked like inside, to me it looked huge with, big four flax screens together attached to the wall. I was getting use to the inside of Cafeteria, so then I started walking around watching the horses race. My heart was telling me to join in but that was in my dream. I really did have an awesome time with my sister and my brother in law.

T1W2 First Time at Technology

Hello and welcome . For this time I am going to tell you my first time at Technology. As you will know that all the yr 7s went to Tamaki College for technology to learn about how to make stuff and bake stuff. My group for tech was Electronics. I was pretty happy when I heard the name Electronic because I actually wanted to know how to make electric stuff that won't hurt me. So by the time I got to the other side of the school I was pretty much confused because everybody from my school was pretty much all over place around Tamaki College. Finally the teachers settled up the groups, just to make everyone not get confused.


While waiting for a teacher to come and take my group to a lab, I really wanted to join in Food. The reason why I wanted to join in food was because I love eating and I love cooking and baking. When Mr Malhotra came along I was quite happy that he was our tech teacher for 14 weeks. After introducing himself, he took us to the lab which was EP1. The lab looked huge, I really wanted to muck around in the lab.


Finally we got to write something rather then just sitting on the chairs waiting for stuff to be done. But we do have to listen to the instructions so we all know what to do. In the classroom I loved the long big chairs, the touch screen and the two sliding board that can go up and down.


For tech it would be more fun and interesting if we all did something that could make us work as a team because it would just be boring just sitting doing nothing. But I still had fun at tech.

Week 2 Term 1 2012 My Goals

Kia Orana my name is Ramona and I go to Point England School as a yr 7 student. I am writing this because recently I am going to introduce to you about myself and write you about my goals.

First my favourite subject during school is art, and I have got 4 friends in my class room 18 and 2 friends from another classroom. I am 11 yrs old and turning 12 on May the 31st. I still feel like I'm a yr 6 student because how I am still in the same class.

My favourite food is hot chips mostly chocolate and fizzy," Yummy" I also love KFC, Carls Jr, Mc Ds and Burger King. The fewest sports that I really want to join is Netball, Vollyball, Touch and the jobs that I would really like to participate in is Barista, Sports monitor, Office monitor and also a Assembly committee.

My goals for this 2012 is to work hard not necessarily smart and move away from the person that is talking to me. Also I need to ignore what they are saying to me move on with my own work. Listening to what the teacher is telling me what to do makes me know what I have to do during every rotation.

Ramona Room 18 NetBook Reflections

This year I have really Enjoyed having a Netbook to work on because it works really fast I am are on other things that I need to complete. It can make alot of difference by correcting the errors and searching for the word that I don’t know what it means, also it’s easier to write in as Document that is owned by yourself. Often when I go to my Google Doc, I get a page that says Offline Mode and sometimes it says The Connection Has Timed Out!

Another thing is that when I write I improve alot because I practise at home by writing one or two paragraph in my homework book.There are many reasons why I love my laptop so much, it’s because it’s quicker when I try to do something new. Also it’s easier to use rather then just using a pencil and a paper because it takes a long time to sharpen a pencil and rubbing out the mistakes and just making alot of mess.

As much as I have loved having a computer there are some things that I haven’t liked about my netbook. The issue about my netbook is that when I switch it on, I sometimes see it on TLN Manaiakalani and it takes a long time to load onto Wairehe. Sometimes it’s slow when I try to go onto other sites like searching for stuff that I really need to use for my school work.

The hardest thing for me is when I’m not being focused on my work, its because their a mostly a bunch of people around me who talks alot and doesn’t do their work well. That is when I get stressed. The greatest challenge for me is when the class is really quite and when their doing their work all by themselves. That’s what keeps me on task.

I think that if the netbook Pilot Scheme was failed and if I was back to pen and paper I would feel disappointed because I love using it alot even though I am out doing something else I still love playing on it. The reason why I would feel disappointed is recently I don’t get the idea about computers and the Network it confuses me.

School Holidays

Plan
Intro What’s happening for the holidays?
P.2 What is my favourite thing during the holidays?
P.3 How do I feel
Conclusion What is my goal for term 4?

Introduction
I so can’t wait for school holidays because my dad’s family is coming over for a visit, even though the date has passed it was on the 1st week of school holidays. I felt pretty excited because the feed was at my grandmas house, I think it’s going to be a really big feast. After my dads family visit my family and I are going to the beach for a picnic, what an amazing holiday that I’m having. Holidays is on for 2 weeks, how cool is that.

Writing 2
My favourite thing during the holidays is meeting my dads special family because recently I haven’t seen my cousins for a few yrs. They haven’t notice me since for a few yrs but they are still my cousins, this was my 1st favourite thing in the holidays. “What was my 2nd favourite thing in the holidays? Well, as you know that some of you students have been to the beach for a picnic, that is just what I did but different days and different times. Going to the beach was making my heart pump, it meant to me that I was so nervous to go to the beach. As we got their, it was packed of allot kids and adults playing and having allot of fun. I wished that could make new friends just to make me happy and enjoyable because I haven’t seen any friends from my school but my cousin Ashin. My very funny cousin was playing basketball with his mates, feeling playful.


Writing 3
The feeling about my holiday is kind of a bit fun because their were just about two things that I did in the holidays. It is worth, a bit. Sometimes I feel sad, sometimes I feel mad because staying at home is a feeling to me that is so boring. Some day I will feel happy and some day I would feel so excited when I do something fun and go somewhere that I haven’t been to and that looks so interesting to see.


Conclusion

My goal for term 4 is to focused on what I’m doing even though if someone talks to me I really have to ignore them. When the teacher tells me what to do I have to do, the reason why I have to learn more is to make my family proud, proud of me and proud of what I have for my learning. Sometimes I just can’t be focused when people are talking around me, I just feel like I’m not focused. Sometimes I’m learning on my work but sometimes I’m not, not working is not my type but working is. This whole thing is about my learning for Term 4.
