Cricket U12's Team

For the past few weeks the under 12 girls cricket team have been playing every Saturday. The under 12 girls cricket team played for a club named Ellerslie.

 

On the very very first game we played Cornwall park, we were very excited to play our first game. Firstly the captain for our team had to do the toss it was either mountains or valleys, we won the toss so we picked fielding first. It was so surprising to see the students in our team bowl for the first time, everybody tried their best. In the end we won! After our game we went to McDonald's to have a nice frozen coke or an ice cream.

 

On the very last game we got told that our team was coming 1st for the competition we were undefeated "yay." But we got to verse the very very first team we ever played again but the sad thing was that they needed extra players for their team, so we kindly gave two players from our team to their team. It was really weird playing against two of our team players but it was okay because we got to see how really good they were.

To finish the year of we got invited to a Christmas party at the Ellerslie club, it was so cool meeting new friends throughout the party. We even got to win spot prizes, I won a cricket bat. That was our last game until next year.

Prizegiving Practices

During through out the term the teachers told us that Miss Tito was going to pick the song for the year 7 item, so some of the year 7 students had to go and audition for a part. But if you didn't get a part you still would of been in the dance crew.

Everyday for the last couple of weeks we have had a lot of time to practice our items, we didn't know what to do on the first practice but we got the hang of the moves and started to get better each time we had a practice.

When we got the hang of the moves, we got to see what the walking and the walking of practice with Mr Burt and the year 5,6,7 and 8 students were watching. When it was the year 7 students turn to walk on the stage we had to strike a pose, then Mr Burt said "show us your ending part" but we didn't know what to do.




Ashley Week 9&10 Reflection,Looking back and Looking forward

During this week I had to write a reflection all about looking back and looking forward during this year. I had to answer a couple of questions to get my paragraphs. I have written some things to show you what have happened this year.

How do you feel about this year? In the beginning of the year I was nervous to be a year 7 student at Pt England school. I also felt excited to be in the senior block with some new students. I felt happy to be the second oldest children of the school.

What did you find especially frustrating/difficult this year? This year something frustrating for me would have to be losing games for sports. Getting to wake up by 8:30 and to try and get to school by 8:30.

If you were to to give yourself a grade out of 10 - 10 being awesome…what would you grade yourself? Why? I will grade myself 9-10 because I have only missed one day of school this year. Even if I didn’t make it into some sport teams, I will never give up in anything.

What would you change for yourself in 2016? In 2016 I would improve myself to be a better Pt Englander student. I will also change the way I behave to teachers at Pt England school.

What might you want next year’s teacher to know about you (things you’re good at)? I want teachers to know that I am really awesome at sports and also really great at reading.

What things might you want more help with? I would want more help with maths and writing because those two subjects I find kind of hard. Sometimes in maths I find the equations hard for me to solve.

Warehouse Giving 2015 W8

Today the senior students had two visitors from the warehouse come and donate alot of money to our school. Firstly we had Toma start our prayer so everybody said the prayer with him, then Marilyn did the mihi. Lastly we had to sing a song and the song was E te Ariki.

After we sang the song our two visitors came up the front and introduced them selves. They talked about some things then the amazing part came up, as they were turning the voucher around everybody were excited as they showed the voucher to us all of the year 7&8 students were like  "Wow." Guess how much money they have donated to our school? They donated us over 1000 dollars wow that is amazing.

When they finished presenting the voucher to us they had a special surprise for Mr Burt, Mr Burt didn't even know what was going to happen next. He got an award with a $500 gift card it was so amazing to see Mr Burt get an award.

Next Josephine said a thank-you speech for them, then we had to sing another song and that song was Te-Aroha. Thank-you so much Warehouse for donating alot of money to our school.


What I have liked about this year? 2015

What have you liked about this year?

What I have liked about this year is that the year 7 students got to experience new things in the senior block. We got to explore what it seems to be the second oldest children in the school.

I really enjoyed having my home class teacher to be Mr Wiseman my literacy class teacher to be Miss Peato and last of all I didn't expect my maths class teacher to be Ms Hockly. All of the teachers I go to for something is really cool because they teach new things to us.

I have also liked that we got to meet new teachers at Pt England school and the year 7 students have made alot of friends with the year 8 students.

The year 7 students will miss all of the year 8 students because they have been great leaders to lead the school. The year year 8 students have taught the year 7 students to be great leaders for the school. When the year 7 students become year 8 student they will become the oldest children in the school.
