I hope my myth is chosen because I put a lot of hard work into this but either way, ENJOY reading.  

TPS KidsCan Parade

So on Thursday the 25th of June Tamaki Primary had a Parade to thank a foundation called KidsCan. KidsCan is a foundation that helps less fortunate Kiwi Kids. The theme of the day was Cultural Outfits. So all students had to come in their cultural outfits. I wore a traditional Tongan Outfit called a Puletaha(Bu-le-da-ha). Our school was filled with colours and celebration. It was such a great and positive way to thank KidsCan.

My Michael Jackson Tribute

So here is a little tribute that I would like to do for Michael Jackson because today is the 6th Anniversary of his death. I just wanted to do a tribute because he's my idol, my hero and my inspiration. He inspires me so much and I just LOVE him so much. His legacy will ALWAYS live forever and he will never be forgotten because he's the KING OF POP! 1958-2009

Born to amuse, 

To inspire, 

Here one day,

Gone one night,

Gone too soon.....

Mehi and Lolo - Cybersmarts: The Power of Words

This is a DLO(Digital, Learning, Object) that me and my partner Lolo created. This task is apart of our Cybersmarts.

This task is about commenting positive comments on many different peoples blog. We had to comment on a friend's blog, a class' blog from our school and then a school's blog from our cluster. I found this task quite easy but then when I had to do a comment on a school from our cluster it was quite difficult trying to find the perfect one. Then finally I found it!!!

So here is the finish product!

Hoooray!!!

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief - Character Study

The two characters I chose were Percy Jackson and Annabeth. This task shows the different characteristics Percy and Annabeth have. It also shows what actions they have done in the movie and also how their characteristics change throughout the movie. This is just a screenshot of a third of the table. I couldn't screenshot the whole thing but to view the whole table click this link.

Recording!!!!

So today just minutes before the bell was gonna ring for Lunch I was pulled out of class to do some recording for our music teacher Caleb. It was actually my FIRST TIME doing a recording session. It was such a great experience. Me, Willy and Ma'asi had to go into this closet where the school stationary supplies were kept to record because it was very quiet in there and it was a perfect place to record, apparently. Me and Ma'asi sang a few parts then we started to record. We had to wear headphones so that we could hear the music and it was also to make sure that we were singing at the right time and at the right beat. Me and Ma'asi giggled a lot when it started because Willy's voice was so low and I mean like it was very very LOW......

After that we helped Caleb pack up the electronics and then we headed to the Boardroom to help Caleb set up the electronics again for another group that were recording. This time they were a bit older than us. They were recording different Cook Island drum beats. We were suppose to go back to class once we setted up the gear but then we were lucky enough to stay and record with the drummers. We all got different size drums and played with them. After a few recordings it was hometime and Me, Stanley, Willy and William volunteered to stay behind and help Caleb pack up. It took a while but soon we were done. 

It was such a cool way to end the week off and it was also such a great experience recording.

Hopefully I get to record again someday.
