House Captain Movie – Put the sports gear in the right place/Play in the right Place

Hello blog viewers/welcome to my blog! This is the House Captain’s movie for PENN today. It is about Putting the sports gear in the right place/Playing in the right place. I made this with the House Captains (Jezer,Jade,Lucian,Lincoln,Ema,Jordoan and Latiana). I also filmed parts of the movie.

I never really knew it was going to be quite simple. I was just a little bit nervous and thought I couldn’t finish it but I did, with help. I learnt a whole lot about filming an editing.

Writing Piece: Mr Goodwin saw this Samoan on tiktok and decided to travel to Samoa. When he arrived in Samoa he had to choose a song to dance to, he started scrolling through different songs and albums. He saw this one album called “Sour”. He pressed record and danced his heart out. He was very exuberant when he was dancing, soon he was ready to post the tiktok. He also tagged #tiktokinsamoa.

Explanation Writing – Dream Home!

Hello blog viewers/welcome back to my blog! This is an explanation writing piece I wrote. I wrote about my dream home and the many things (well only 3 main things) I would want in it. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Dream Home!

A dream home would include a huge upstairs, twenty rooms, an indoor gym, an indoor pool, and so much more. Let me share with you my dream home, filled with insane and interesting things.

In my dream home I would have a huge water park! Lots of swimming equipment/floaties, a hot tub that has glowing water, and of course ten insanely big slides. Everyone loves to get wet and soaked with water. What’s better than having your own water park – wait, maybe the next one will change your mind.

You’ve probably been to a movie theatre and know that they are enormous, with big screens and a lot of chairs. Don’t forget the snacks (which are like one hundred dollars)! If you got to own your own movie theatre you would get to watch all the movies you want and have as much snacks you want because you own it! You can invite friends and families, hang and chill watching Enchanto or Spongebob or any movie of your choice. Let’s move onto my last room that I’m sure will fascinate you.

Don’t you just love the taste and smell or delicious and mouth watering slushies or shaved ice. Just imagine owning your own room filled with different flavors of slushies and shaved ice! Slushies and shaved ice are a good refreshing snack. Yes they aren’t healthy for you and you shouldn’t drink it all day, everyday, but everyone loves them!

In conclusion, these are all the many things I would include in my dream home. A water park, movie theater, and of course a room filled with slushies/shaved ice.

Homework WK2/T1 2022 – Literacy 1

Hello blog viewers/welcome to my blog! This is our Literacy Homework for this week. We had to read two articles from Kiwi Kids News and write a four sentence summary about each article we read. I read and wrote about Zoi Sadowski Synnott and Tiktok stars make a big cake pop. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Zoi Sadowski Synnott: New Zealand won their first ever gold medal in the Winter Olympics. Snowboarder Zoi Sadowski-Synnott won the gold medal in the women’s snowboard slopestyle event. She took early lead, her score was 84.51 on the first run but Marino got a higher score which was 87.68 in her second run. Happily, Zoi won gold on her final run. 

Tiktok stars make a big cake pop:A pair of tiktok stars Nick DiGiovanni and Lynn Davis made an almost 50kg cake pop and broke a Guinness World Record. It required quite a lot of ingredients to make that huge cake pop. The measurement of the cake pop was 128 cm and was attached to a 85cm stick. They did not waste anything, they put it in their freezer, gave it to friends and families, sports teams, and medical aids.

House Captain Badge

Hello blog viewers! Yesterday on Friday the House Captains and Prefects received their badges at assembly. The female prefects received their ones first then the male prefects. After the prefects got their badges it was the House Captains turn. I’m in the blue house which is why my badge was a navy blue colour and says “House Captain”. Yellow House went first, Blue House, Green House, and red House. When Lucian (the other Blue House captain) I received our badges I shared a short motivation speak which said “Let’s Go Blue, This is Our Year!”.  I hope you have enjoyed this post.
