Attitude Talk

Today the intermediate children from PES had a talk from Attitude. They are a group of presenters that go to many schools and talk about young people’s well being, etc.

They came in to talk about ‘Puberty’. Yes, we all know that and how it may be a little bit awkward but we all eventually go through it.

Both Caleb and Brittney (from Attitude) came to talk to us. We split up into girls and boys groups. Caleb talked about the different changes that we go through physically and mentally. I got to know more about myself/my changes and how valuable I am. It was very funny and educational. This has been one of my favourite and weirdest school experiences ever (in a good way of course).  Thank you Attitude!

Writing – Kyrgyzstan

A couple of weeks ago my literacy class has been doing research. We had to choose a random country we’ve never heard of and do research on it. I worked on this research project with Mele. The country was ‘Kyrgyzstan’ which is located in central Asia. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Compliments Project

Last week my class chose to do Aaron and I to do the compliments project on. I was very happy and excited to do this.

Whoever we are writing about, that person has to face the front and not look at the whiteboard. Everyone has to have a go writing a kind compliment about that certain person. When everyone finishes the, certain person can turn around and look.

I was so nervous but excited when I was sitting down. Everyone was smiling and giving me compliments. I felt as if I was on top of the world. Aaron and I turned around and looked at each of our boards. The compliments were so positive and were very accurate. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Manaiakalani Film Festival 2022

On Tuesday we had our 15th annual Manaiakalani Film Festival. Teachers and young people from eleven of the Manaiakalani schools created all movies. Pt England (intermediate) left in the morning. We watched all the films created my PES. The presenters were fantastic! The image below shows the 3 top movies that were my favourite. I hope you have enjoyed this post.

Literacy – Kahoot

On Monday for literacy we played kahoot. There were four different teams. I was on a team with Emeline, Mele, and Legacy. We played kahoot as a fun activity and to have fun before our reading test. We chose a netball quiz which we came first on. We tried our best on the other quizzes. We came third place. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Maths – Other Graphs!

Today for maths we have learnt more about graphs. We learnt mostly about scatter graph and stem and leaf graph. I really enjoyed this because it helps me with stats investigation and maths memory. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.

Literacy – The Winning Side

This is a FIOP task. For our reading task we had to read a book called ‘The Winning Side’ and work on a slideshow about the book. This has probably been my favourite book and task I’ve worked on during literacy. The book is meaningful and relatable. I hope you have enjoyed this post. Please leave a positive comment on my blog.
