Mata I Pusi

This is a DLO(Digital, Learning, Object) that I have created which shows the 5 W'S(When, Where, What, Why and Who) and 1 H(How). This task helps me develop my understanding and connecting skills to a text. The text is called Mata I Pusi which means The eye of a Cat in Samoan.

Today at School!!!

Today was a really fun day for me because it felt like I did no work today. .....

At the start of the day we had technology as usual. I'm in art Tech. Today for art tech we did some doodling and finishing off our artwork. It was fun because we listened to music and just chatted while we were working. Soon the bell rang and it was morning tea. After morning tea I was pulled out of class before I could even get there to show some visitors around. That took for the whole middle block because the visitors took like 30 minutes in each class. It was kinda boring just waiting for them but it was worth it because I missed out on a spelling test. Then the bell rang for lunchtime. Yay!!!! Sadly I didn't really have a lunchtime because one of the teachers asked me to watch some girls in her class practice their dance. They were totally amazing. They were dancing to Waka Waka by Shakira. Then just before I was gonna go out to play the bell rang. NOOOOOOO.......... 

It was such a coincidence. I then went to class and did S.S.R(Sustained, silent, reading). While I was reading a article I was pulled out of class again. It was for Band. I was so surprised and Amazed. I mean like i'm going to band practice. Me and two of my friends were invited to the band. I was a singer. Our music teacher asked us what song do we want to do. Nobody said anything until one person said,"MEHI LIKES MICHAEL JACKSON!!"(which is true) Then our music teacher said, "Why don't we do Man in the Mirror then..." I was so happy. I was the lead singer for the song(I mean like c'mon it's my first day on the job and i'm already the lead singer). I sang the whole thing while Ma'asi harmonized. At first I was shy and not that confident but then Ma'asi and our music teacher told me to don't be shy and I took there advice and gained some of my confidence. Then sadly it was the end of the day and we had to go home:(

Today I had such a fun day and it was great to be at The Band Practice!!!

S.S.R (Sustained, Silent, Reading)

Today for S.S.R(Sustained, Silent, Reading) I read a really touching story on Kiwi Kids News. The article is called 'Boy Gives Homeless Man a Blessing.' The article is about a young boy who went to an Alabama Waffle House with his mother and he saw a homeless man sitting all alone with no food. The young boy named Josiah Duncan kept on asking his mother why the man was all alone and then his mother told him that the man was homeless, so then the young boy asked his mother if she could buy the poor man some food and she did. Customers and staff were so amazed because the young boy took the meal himself to the man and sang him a blessing song. The poor man was so grateful. 

Josiah is the perfect example of the kindness that many of us lose when we leave childhood – if we all saw people the way children do (without judgement) the world would be a better place!

Maths - Understanding Time Unit/Calendars

Today for maths me and my maths group 'Ten Percent' did a worksheet task which was called Understanding Time Units and Calendars. I found this task quite easy because I already knew how to put the days in the week and the months in a year in order. This task was super fun and I enjoyed doing it.

This is some of the worksheet. I couldn't screenshot the whole thing because my screen was too big.

Pink Shirt Day

WOW today was such a blast seeing lots of kids wearing the colour pink for Pink Shirt day. If you don't know what Pink Shirt day is well it's a day where people wear pink to represent standing up to bullying. We had a awesome assembly which the student councils organised. There were so much effective messages about standing up to bullying during that Assembly for example we had a skit which the student councils presented, a mini clip about stopping bullying and so much more including two performances from our school band. They were so amazing I was blown away by the great harmonies and so much more. Today was such a great and positive day!

Speak up, Stand together and Stop Bullying!
