Haiku

I hit the softball.
It went past the base in field.
I ran to each base.

I caught the softball.
Hand felt sweaty in my glove.
Run between bases.

Dear Constable Geoff,

I am writing to  thank you for taking the time to come and  talk to the year 7 and 8 students at Glenbrae School, about your career as a police officer.

I found it really interesting when you talked about having goals, and working hard for what you want. It was funny when you talked about reading with your friends on the weekend to improve your reading and writing skills, and bribing them with food.

The advice you gave that  anyone can do anything

has inspired me to do well in school, and to stay focused.

Yours sincerely

Salelei

MY HOLIDAYS SA

In the holiday’s  I stayed at home to play games,on my PS3.We did the cleaning at home, because my big sister came and took me to the movies to watch transformers 4. We also went to get some food to eat and drink. The movies were finished, so my big sister took me home and I was sleeping for the whole day . I went to my grandma’s house because my mum and dad went to a party,with my aunt and uncle. On Saturday we went to grandpa’s house, to see my grandpa who was sick. I enjoyed my holidays, because I could sleep in, and chill out.

Can’t wait for the next holidays, to come around.

badminton recount salelei

TODAY  WAS THE LAST SESSION WE HAD FOR  BADMINTON.

I PARTNERED UP WITH GEMIMA, AND WE PLAYED AGAINST LENNYX AND JACK.It was fun hitting the shuttle cox over the net. My favourite thing about badminton is playing with my friends. I found learning the backhand was difficult because I could not get the grip right.Robbie our instructor showed me how to hold the raquet properly. Badminton is a cool sport to play, I think I might  practice during the holidays.

tirp To The Long bay

On Monday  20th  of may rooms 9 and 10 went on a trip to long bay regional park to lenrn about living creatures in rock pools we assembled under the shelter and went with sarah, who was our guide for the. each group was given a white tray to collect whatever we found in the rock pools. salelei found a cushion starfish and I crabs. I found a spiral starfish. It was cool. The wind blew sand into my face, as I wallced back to the shelter. a dead jellyfish lay on the sand. It was a awesome day, and I was tired.

Loopy People!

Today I learnt to measure body parts, half each measurement, use the halved measurement to create a loopy person. 

Reflection:

It was easy to measure

It was hard to halve the measurements.

In term 1, my class has been learning about survival in the wild. Today was the day for my presentation.
Desire and I came up with a matching game, aimed at year 3 and  4 students. Each student had to match the word to the picture. It looked like the kids were having fun with it. I had fun presenting it.

swimming pool

This term I went swimming at Otara Swimming Pool with my Dad, to help me with my fitness. I like to swim because it is fun, and I get to exercise at the same time. I am also in the Samoan Youth group, and every Friday we play games, and do different activities. At school I enjoy playing with my friends. We play 
tiggy and run around the school.Anyway, will keep you posted
on my next fun exercise, next term. 

basketball

There are 5 players on each team. Each  player dribbles the ball, and tries to shoot the ball into the hoop. I have learnt that basketball is a team game. The warm ups have been hard and physical.
I have also learnt how to dribble the ball, chest pass and do cool moves with the basketball. Anyway I have had a blast playing basketball, Give it a Go.... 

Long Bay Trip

Long Bay trip On Monday 7th of  April year 7 and 8 students from rooms 9 and 10 went by bus on a trip to Long Bay Regional Park to learn about survival skills in the wild.

Once we arrived at the park, we assembled

under the shelter, and Sandra who was a park ranger introduced the rest of her team to us.

Sarah, james and Maureen along with Miss Atuahiva and Tevita accompanied my group on our hike to Green Bay. Sarah showed us how to read a map, and we got to pick where we wanted to go. Students took turns at being a  team leader, and a tail charlie(person at end of line)

Next we found ourselves pitching up tents on our own and learning how to be safe when using a hobo stove. The exciting part was frying my own sausage (YUMMY)

After lunch it was off to make a make shift stretcher, using two pieces of long wood and four jumpers.

Each of us had turns pretending to be injured. Morag, who is a park ranger , showed us how to carry the stretcher. It wasn’t easy. The hardest part was actually carrying the patient without dropping them.

Finally the bus arrived to pick us up. I sat on the bus tired and weary from my day, thinking about what I learned, with my eyes closed all the way back to school.

Auckland Zoo Trip

Auckland Zoo Trip

On Friday 4th of April room 7, 9 and 10 went by bus on a trip to Auckland zoo, to learn about native trees, native birds and native animals.

Laura,John and Richard who worked at the zoo, showed us around. First we went with John who took us to see the Kea’s. We were in awe of these big colourful birds who kept flying around One came up close to me, and i was tempted to touch it.

Next we went with Laura to the rainforest to see the native birds, and native trees. Flying above us I could see the Kereru, and the fantail birds.

Richard showed us the Kiwi enclosure. Before that, we stopped to see the big massive eels.

Richard explained to  us when the female eels lay their eggs, they go all the way to Tonga.

After lunch my group went to explore the rest of the zoo. I saw a elephant, giraffe , cherval, seals and penguins, just to name a few.

I learned about each animals habitat, what country they came from, and the types of food they eat. I enjoyed my day at the zoo, next time i will come with my family.

My dad

Hi there,

Read this book on Sunshine online. The story is about a boy's  Dad who had a stroke and ended 

up in a wheelchair. The boy was happy to have his Dad home again. He helps out as much as he 

can, because of Dad being ill. This story  makes me realize how important my Dad is to me.

Preparing For A Day In The Forest

when exploring with a adult in the forest, it is important  to have the correct

clothing, and equipment

clothing such as long track pants,

long sleeve shirt, sun hat and

comfortable boots for walking.

You will also need a packed lunch and a bottle

of water for dehydration

An adult with you will need  a mobile phone, in

case you get lost and a first aid kit in case someone is hurt.

Tell someone where you are going, and check the weather forecast.

Maths Graphs

 Today I learnt to present my data as a line graph
and an area graph.

Bio Poem

Salelei

Cheerful, kind, respectful

Lover of video games, watching T.V and spending time with family.

Who wonders why there is so much killing in the world.

Who fears spiders, shortage of food in the world and big dogs that bark.

Who feels delighted when alone playing video games

Who is scared of dying

Who is able to complete any video game, watch TV without blinking and win a burger eating competition.

Who would like to get an autograph from rocky (Sylvester Stallone), visit America and Go to Disney world.

Who dreams of being a game tester.

Lazy!!.

Favourite fruit
