My life in Whare tapa wha

Taha wairua is a strength in my life. I go church on Saturday and Sunday, on Saturday morning we go to church and have prayer meeting and bible study.

I can improve in Taha hinengaro by having good thoughts and by making the right choices. Another Taha I am strong on is Taha whanau, I am strong in Taha Wairua because I always go church with some of my family members and friends. I also like playing video games or board games with my family and friends and those are my strengths in the Te Whare Tapa Wha.

How to be a good Pt Englander

How are you a good Pt Englander? Being a good ptenglander means following the PE way, Using your wits and last one is being responsible.

Following the PE way is an important thing  to do at pt england and one of our rules is wear it with pride, it means to wear our uniform with pride because when we are wearing it, it means we are representing pt england school. It also means wear our school uniform properly. For example no jackets or jumpers wrapped around the waist, no jewelry on wrist and last one no earrings that have things hanging off of it. For example if I have an earring that has a big cross hanging off I will be asked by a teacher to take it off for my safety.


Another one is using our W.I.T.S, W stands for walk away, I stands for ignore, T stands for talk about it and S stands for seek help. These things are what we do when we’re in a bad situation. For example in fights or whatever it could be, because these things help us stay out of trouble at school and after school. Here's another example if someone is trying to pick a fight with you the first thing to do is walk away if they keep on doing the same thing just ignore them if still going look for somebody to talk about it if they can't do anything seek help like look for a teacher or an adult.

Don't Let Go Narrative writing

Have you ever tried to not let go of something? Well once upon a time there was a girl named Rebecca and she had two pets called Rob and betty. Rebecca's godmother was like some magical woman. She was like the tooth fairy but better, Rebecca used to be an alfone her parents died when she was young. But since then she has been looked after by her godmother Ketty. Her godmother was a billionaire; she brought anything Rebecca wanted; she even brought her some crystal high heels. For her to wear to her best friend's birthday, her best friend's birthday is on april 19, and she just realized that was today. So she got changed, till all of a sudden she heard somebody talking. She looked around. There was nobody there, only Rob and Betty, Rebecca asked. “Were you’s the ones who were talking” “Nah man it wasn’t” Replied Rob. Rebecca was in shock she never knew that her pets could talk. Rob was laughing and so was Betty, “ Who do you think ate all the food?” they both said. Rebecca didn't care, she was wasting time. She had to get to a party, so she went outside and got on her cart and the horse’s started running. The horses were running so fast they didn't see the rock on the ground the horse ran into the rock and tripped, so that sent Rebecca flying into the air. What Rebecca didn’t know was that her pets were on the cart as well. So they all went flying Rebecca said “Hold on don’t let go” Rob was holding on his tightest and Betty was flying because she was a duck. They all fell on the ground knocked out, Betty was looking for help but couldn’t find anyone. It was pitch black as the moon was shining on them, but then all of a sudden there was boy a who saw the crystal high heels shining the boy walked towards the shoe and noticed that Rebecca and Rob were knocked out cold he called the ambulance and they came right away they went to the hospital and then she finally woke up. She called her dad and her dad came and took her home. THE END
