Rainbows End trip Recount

On the 20th of november the year sevens of Pt England school went to rainbows end for the year seven trip. We went to rainbows end in the morning around ten o’clock and we came at two o’clock. Before we went we were put into groups of six or seven, I was in a group of six. The people that were in my group were Sione,Aj M, Nevah, Zamara and Madison.






When we got there, me and my group went to the roller coaster first. The reason why we wanted to go to the roller coaster was because we wanted to start from the back make our way to the front. Our second ride was the power usage out of all the rides the power usage was the scariest, when I was on the power usage I fainted while the ride was still going that's why that was my scariest ride from Rainbows End. Then we went on a lot more then we got to my favorite one the stratosphere we did with five of my members after that we had to go back to school and go home.

Narrative

Once upon a time there were three little boys who loved going on trips. Their names were Sione, Leiite and Jaocb, they left Tonga to go on their trip to Auckland, New Zealand where they met the strongest the best looking guy on earth his name was Paschal he was the son of King doohole and Queen charming. He like Superman but better looking and stronger, him and Superman were very close friends when they were in high school. But Superman used his power for bad things and Paschal the good looking guy always tried to stop him from doing that but he would never stop. After they both finished school, Superman did a lot of bad things but Paschal would always win. Every time Paschal beats Superman he would always say, “there is still time for you to be good”. But one time Superman came up with a super idea it was to kidnap the three boys from tonga, Sione, Leiite and Jacob. He took them to an old underwater basement it was a place that no-one could track because the place was so deep. It took them one hour just to get down there. One thing that Superman didn't know about is that Jacob is a very smart boy he could use anything around him to attack or defend himself. Jacob knew that Superman’s weakness was Kryptonite but there was none of it around. People were asking if Paschal could save them but he had no idea where they were like he had no idea that Superman had a weakness Paschal’s Idea was to try and track him down but their was a sign of him, Paschal was thinking superman might of went to another country. But they didn’t so Paschal the most good looking guy went on a boat to see if superman had a secret ship like he always does but today he didn’t. After two whole days of looking for them he saw a bubbles coming from under the water it was unusual because volcanoes haven’t erupted in years so Paschal decided to go scuba diving that’s where he found a big boat where all the bubbles were coming out of. Paschal was looking for some-where to get in he didn’t find any doors so he punched a hole in the boat and their he was with the three little boys. First he saved the three little boys, then he took Superman to a cave full of Kryptonite.

Keyhole Narrative

Narrative Writing

Once upon a time there was a little boy called James Tan, this boy could do amazing things like fly all the way up to Tonga. On may the 1st 2015 James Tan went to New Zealand to find some friend because when he lived he had no friends. The next morning he flew past lots of houses. Then he stopped at a house and he looked through the window and saw 3 little kids laughing and having fun, James has always dreamed of  being apart of a family, a happy family. So one day he knocked on their family's door and asked if he could live with them, but they sadly said no and closed the door. Later that night James watched the kids sleep through their window, for some reason they always left their window open. Then James had an idea once they were fully asleep James picked up all three of them and flew straight out the window and he took them to his house. His house was the forest because where he lived there was hardly any houses or people. Then one night Luke Book heard about the missing kids, Luke Book and James Tan were best friends in high-school but now they are enemies because Luke Book is the hero of the city and James was the bad guy. So that night Luke tied James to a tree with a very strong rope, then he scooped up all three of the kids and took them to his boat called the lolly bogar. He woke them up and told them they were safe then he asked for their names to check if they were the right kids, there were 3 boys their names Frank, Sione and Jacob. The 3 little boys begged Luke to take them home so the next morning he took them to their house and lived happily ever  after.

De-extinction SEE writing

What would you do if a massive Moa crossed the street in front of you? Many animals are extinct, but bringing them back is not alright. Because they could be wild and dangerous. Also, it could kill some other species.


There are lots of animals that have been extinct, like the mammoth, big sloths and more. In New Zealand scientists are thinking of bringing back the Moa. To bring back the Moa, they would have to get the DNA from animals that are similar to the Moa. The closest animals to the Moa are the Emu and the ostrich.




If there was an animal that I could choose to be de-extinction. It would be a mamtoth because it live’s in Antarctica. The reason I chose the mamtoth is because hardly anyone goes to Antarctica. Plus it looks like elephant but hairier and bigger.

If the NZ scientist bring back the Moa I would never go for bush walks ever again. But if I saw a Moa across the street I would probably run for my life. Having very big animals in our bush’s is pretty scary because who know’s when they are going to come out.

Cross Country

On Monday the 16th of September, Pt England school had cross country. It was held at Pt England school, cross country was boring but we had no choice but to run it because it was part of the school.

When we are sleeping our genome is still doing working. All of us have glitches but some of us ave glitches that cause's health problems. If a scientist take's some blood from you they could put it in a machine that help's them check your DNA. Scientist compare your sequence to thousands of people maybe even your relatives.

Week 3: AL87 Games & Puzzles

Walt:make sure each person can understand and explain group's solution

Should school start later and end earlier

My first reason about disgreeing on this statement is that kids should get lots of school hours.For a better future.Do you want more school time?. If kids have more learning time, kids have a higher chance of getting into a good college or job. When kids have lots of school hours it give’s their brain a very good work out. But having short hours at school gives kids less time to learn.


My next reason is you can get lots and lots of help from the teacher. Maybe if you get more teacher help you have a very high chance of passing any test. Teacher’s make work at the level that you are at. Starting school later gives the teacher less time too know what level that you are reading at or any subject. Teachers could also help you enrol for a college that you want to go to.


My thrid reason is that you get lots of time to spend with your school mates. Having school mate’s is good too have becuase maybe when you get older maybe you guys would see into each other. Even maybe try and get in the same college go to Aut togther. Having school so fun becuase when you are so close to each other, it is like you are brothers or sisters. Having friends that are like my brother is fun becuase we can help each other when we are stuck in school-work.



These are all my reason’s why I disagree. Do you disagree or agree.

Create Task Dr Melanie

For one whole week me and my group Paua werelooking at Dr. Melaine Chung. We were looking at why she uses tikanga Maori in her job as a neurobiologist. But she wasn’t just using that she was doing other things too. She taught us how the Brain works and what it does in our body, she taught us that the Brain controls all our body parts it tells his to move, think, feel, and create it also tells us that everyone thought that the Brain stopped growing at the age of eighteen and that your Brain cells would soon die. She took it from loved ones that have passed. Most Maori people believe that when you die you should return to the Mother Earth in one piece. But before Dr. Melaine Chung could take the Brain from the people that have passed she must Pray and show respect towards them and the family. Dr. Melanie Chung has talked to a lot of Maori elders about what she is doing. Dr. Melanie Chung taught me that the Neurobiology is a study of cells of the nervous system and that the organization of these cells into functional circuits that process information and mediate behavior. But before all that she found out that is was called Huntington’s disease. She joined a group to find a cure for huntington's disease. She started her research in a laboratory, studying damaged brain cells. She found out that you can’t catch the Huntington’s disease from other people and that it is hereditary, which means it is passed down through families. Not long ago scientists thought that getting Neuroplasticity that the brain wouldn’t change after childhood.

Hobby writing

My hobby is playing rugby with my friends and my team-mate. Lots of my friends from school play beside me at torments and on Saturday's.

Subheading Here
My rugby team is called the Royals and we are from Marist, Our coach Mazal has been coaching some of us since we were five years old. Our coach is a very good coach he pushes us to our limits when it comes to the big game. He has also coached sports for school. We all have much love for each other and our coaches. In 2017, we won the Taupo tournament at under 10’s.

Subheading Here
We have lost a lot of games but our coach says we just need to learn from that game. So each game we lose, we go training and learn more and more skills. So when we meet them again we try our best to get back at them. But this year we are playing under 13's and for now, we are undefeated because together we are strong alone we’re weak. We are also a family we are Marist brothers. Every Saturday we bring our A game to show every team what we're made of.


Some of us boys has known each other since we were five. Throughout the years we’ve been togther people have joined and people have left our team. But no matter what we will always be strong. Because it is not about how good you but it is about the mindset you have or your attitude.


Do you play rugby?

Africa Informative Writing

In Africa, there are a lot of endangered animals that are soon going to extinct and die forever. For example, there is a little amount of cheetah's left. In fact there about 6,800 cheetahs left in the world.



In Africa, there is a place called Niger, that I and my classmates have studied. It is the place I found out where the cheetahs live. The place Niger is found in the content of Africa.



Having cheetah’s in the world is something good for the world. Because if they were extinct there will be hardly any animals in Africa or the place Niger. There are other animals in Niger that are soon going to extinct. Like Addax or a Dama gazelle, there are other places in Africa where there is a lot of endangered animals.



The food in Africa look pretty good and some don’t. The best-looking food from Africa is chilli rice called Jolo rice. It is awesome the way they make their food. Also the way they wear their clothes. The reason I like the way they wear their clothes is that there are some much pattern and style in the clothes



Some places in Africa do not have clean water so it is not good, for the people in Africa. If there is no clean water that means they are unhealthy. Watching kids, adults and elder’s from Africa drinking dirty water makes me feel sad for them. I don’t think they deserve what's happening to them but things happen.



So what can we do to Help Africa or help the endangered animals. Also the kids.adults and the elders.



Task Description: For this task we had to write about what we learnt about Africa.

Once upon a time, there was a tree that everyone in fortnite loved. It is called the tree of life because everyone who dies could come back to life if their family want. But there was a twist they had to it. The tree was on a hill, so if they wanted them to come back to life. They had to climb the hill by themselves…



One day John Wick was watching the Fortnite News with his mate Raptor. On the News, the man was talking about the tree of life. He was talking about a lot of people coming back to life. Then he said that they were going to cut down the tree of life because when the superheroes defeat the villains Thanos goes to the tree of life and brings all of them back to life. So that's why they were going to cut it down. They said it was going to happen tomorrow. John Wick and Raptor were talking about saving the tree so John and Raptor went to the tree, they went in there ATK very early in the morning as the sun gave them a warm greeting as they were driving towards the tree. They were protecting the tree for the whole day till the New’s people came. John pulled out his Scar-L and pointed it at the Boss and told to step away from the tree.



“ We don't want hurt you, so step away from our tree,” growled John.


Then All of a sudden, raven, default and renegade stepped out of the News van. Holding a sniper, Scar L, and a deagle. John and Raptor were outnumbered.


“Hahahaha yous have already lost drop your guns,” yelled Renegade.


Raven was sniped and sent back to the lobby, John and Raptor hid behind the tree. They heard an ATK coming, it came up the hill. When it got to the top it gave everybody a shock it was the 3rd member of John and Raptor it was Drift. Now it was Renegade and Default who was outnumbered Raptor, Drift and John Wick, scared all of them off. As they were running Raptor, Drift and John shot them and sent all of them back to the lobby.


“Where were you, when you sniped raven?” asked John,

“yeah where were?,” said Raptor.

“I was hiding on the top of the clock tower in tilted towers,” said Drift.



“Nice,” laughed Raptor and John.


They were scared that they might come back so Drift, John and Raptor had an idea. To make them their own house on the hill. So they made them self a very big house for all three of them. So when anyone comes up they would all be alerted.

A Country Like Mine

Leiite & Paschal - Explanation template

You are never too young to change the world.





People across our country need to step up and become part of the difference in our world. The future of our environment is riding on the shoulders of today’s youth.


Picking up rubbish.


Picking up rubbish is good for the world. Littering causes the animals in the world to think rubbish is food mainly plastic. Sea animals like Sea turtle, Seabirds, fish, and Cetaceans.


Chucking rubbish in the right bin.


Chucking rubbish in the right rubbish bin is a great thing to do. Therefore it helps the environment getting polluted this causes our animals from dying as in sea animals and birds.


Don’t just do it at school (Home, Streets)


Don’t just pick up rubbish around your house you can also do it on the streets, parks, around the beach, and also around schools. Picking up rubbish not only helps the environment however it also helps the animals to be safe.



Teach others (whanau, neighbours)


You can also teach your family and neighbours. How to look after our environment. Also their environment.
