Term 1 Reflection.

Term 1 Reflection 2014

My highlights this term would have to be...

Fiafia Night: Because Fiafia night is always a happy night. And the audience was awesome! And the food was Divine. Also, there's lots of people for me to play with.

Netball: Well, this year netball has been quite different from last year. About 15 year 8 girls trialed for netball. There's a possibility that there will only be one year 8 team entering this year.

I have made improvements/progress in.. I'm not sure because I haven’t tried as hard I should.

I know this because I need to try harder. I need to stay on task and stay focused on my learning.

I still need to work hard to improve my writing.

I know this because I don’t write enough or put much effort into it.

I am most proud of my efforts in the Cook Island group on Fia Fia night because I tried my hardest to dance and perform well. I am also proud of my efforts in Netball, because I have improved throughout this year.

My 3 main goals for Term 2 will be...

1. Use my W.I.T.S! Because I can get angry really fast.

2. Focus more on my work, as well as sports.

3. Stop talking back to the teacher. Have the right attitude.

Fiafia Reflection

My highlights from Fiafia were seeing my friends from last year, also, seeing all the different cultures performing. It was really cool. My favorite group would have to be Jump Jam. Because they were really energetic, and they just made the crowd feel less sluggish. Slipping my arms and head through my t-shirt, I realised that this would be my last Fiafia night. So, I told myself I would do my best! Running my fingers through my hair a little girl ran up to me, and squirted tons of oil in my hair. I planned to keep my hair down, but it looked to oily. So, with 5 minutes to spare, I quickly out my hair in a bun, then ran into my line. With little children chatting and teacher yelling, I swiftly got the juniors into their straight lines. The Niuean Group had to walk past our group, in order to get to the corridor.

To Be Continued....

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Grace Lila. She live in a small house near Glen Innes. Grace Lila was the best Netball player at Pt England School. The only problem was, she would get mental over little things. She didn’t know why. So Grace’s mother took her to see a councillor.

Netball

Netball is a game played with two teams of seven. Netball may look simple, but lets just say, It’s easier said than done. This sport requires seven positions for each team. Centre, Goal Defence, Goalkeeper, Wing Defence, Goal Shoot, Goal Attack, Wing Attack. My Strongest positions would have to be, Centre and Goal Defence. Netball is a very complicated sport, you basically have to try and get the ball down to your team’s goal, without getting the ball out. At the same time, defend your opponent.

Last year (2013) I was one of the lucky girls to be nominated to trial for the Auckland Reps. Mele, Jay’lee, Mary, Mary I, Jessica, Grace, Quziyah, Hope, Makerita, Serena, were the girls that were nominated as well. I made the Auckland Reps that year.

Sports At Tamaki ^-^

Well, Every Fridays classes, 2, 4 & 5 go down to Tamaki College. Well, Tamaki College is located in this little part of Auckland, called Glen Innes. We go to Tamaki College for Physical Education/PE. My experience from going to Tamaki has been AWESOME!

The Yr 7 & 8 Students have been put into groups of 10-12. There’s lots of activities to play like, High jump, Chain tag, relays, amazing race, rope jump and more.  

There are several reasons why fitness is important. Such as, losing weight, having fun or just having exercise. Can fitness be fun? Yes, of course fitness can be fun. We all play tag/tigy right? Well, that awesome game can help us lose a bit of weight.

Porscha and I think that going to Tamaki College is awesome! We both think going to Tamaki is good for our fitness. Also, to gain more confidence:)

Cyclone Lusi

What is a cyclone you ask? Well, a Cyclone is a bunch of gale force winds rotating in a circular motion, towards lower grounds.

Tropical Cyclone Olivia is the highest wind force on record is 408km/h. Cyclones are deadly, it can crush, destroy, shatter and end anything in seconds.

Cyclone Lusi is slowly moving across New Zealand. Auckland has been advised to store anything away, that may contribute to the damage. Cyclone Lusi is now heading towards Wellington, with Gusts of winds going 130km/h.

This past weekend, there was a storm. It was expected to be a “Cyclone”, but it was just heavy rain, and gusts of wind. This Tropical Cyclone left snapped tree’s, smashed cars, damaged houses, wrecked buildings. etc.

How to prepare? You have to pin down anything, that's light and sharp. Trim down branches so they won’t fly around. Have a first aid kit near in-case any injuries occur. Move anything indoors, that may harm your environment. Also, stay informed with weather changes, it could change very quickly.
