Grease by Auckland Girls Grammar School

In Grease there is a girl called Sandy and a boy called Danny, Sandy and Danny meet on the beach but then Sandy felt something was wrong so then they went away from each other. So one day Danny went to the high school he'd been there for his whole life, he was one of the popular people at his school, then came along the girl he meet who went to the same school! Things weren't the same as they had been at summer.

My favorite part of the play was when they sang grease lightning. I would recommend this play, the actors were pretty good and they had a lot of confidence. They just need to sort out the sound because the microphones were not the right volume.

Five Facts About GI

 

Day 1: 100% PURE New Zealand

Activity 1:  Go to the Tourism New Zealand website and click on the ‘Facts - New Zealand People’ tab. Read about the people of New Zealand and then choose three interesting facts to post on your blog. The facts must be written in your own words. Do not simply copy and paste the facts from the website☺.

Three interesting facts

• The Maori had sailed the seas, from Hawaiki searching for new land,soon  finding New Zealand. Maori are very similar to other polynesian cultures like Tahiti and the Cook Islands.

• One New Zealand Demigod, is Maui. Maui the Demigod is famous for many things. He had taught humans the useful arts and had pulled the sun in making the days longer, but he is mostly famous for fishing up the North Island.

• To catch the Huge Fish, now known as the North Island, he had used a hook the he had made secretly using a magical ancestral jawbone, pulling the fish up with help from his brothers.

Explanatio[Matariki]

Matariki is the new year for the maori people, matariki is also known as the 7 sister and the mother surrounding there six. Matariki is invisible until the next June. In English people call matariki pleiades.

During Matariki Maori people celebrate the Maori new years, maori dance with their friend and family when matariki When Ranginui, the sky father, and Papatūānuku, the earth mother, were separated by their children the god of wind, Tāwhirimātea, became angry, tearing out his eyes and hurling them into the heavens.

Matariki has two meanings, both of which refer to the cluster of stars. Mata Riki means Tiny Eyes, and Mata Ariki means Eyes of God.

Some people celebrate new years when the new moon rises and other people celebrate new year after the new moon. In Samoa it’s called matali’e.

Tech at Tamaki Collage Term 1

Term one 2017 I went to Tamaki collage to do tech, I was doing art.

________________________________

We can help by telling people to use a bus than everyone in there own cars.

For example if lots of people went to one bus or lots of people going in there own car.

________________________________

Look after the seawater by telling people to not throw their rubbish in the sea, tell the people who go on boat that run by gas to go on a boat that does not run on gas but run by people.

Do not cut down trees because there will not be enough air if they cut more than 1 billion.

_______________________________

Learning about what is causing air pollution. (Read to get the answers)

What is causing air pollution ?

Cow fart, factories, cars, bus, trucks, and all of those other stuff. What is better to use than cars, bus, trucks ?

We should walk or use  a bike to ride in.

Monday 20th March

On Monday 20th March I had an bad day.
At the Start, I woke up nice in the morning, until my mum opened the door and started saying, GET UP GET UP YOUR LATE FOR SCHOOL !!!.
After I went to school in a van. We made it there at the right time because when we got there the bell just rang.
I walked in class ever one was doing work and no one even said hi, I did my reading activity, I asked my teacher if I could do the other reading activity, but she said "carry on with the other reading activity you have not finished" I did not want to do it but, I still did it.
It looked very hard but when I just put my mind into it and focused on it, I thought I would be one of the first to finished (neck minute) but no it was not me it was these other smarter kids (In my way), "well" in my mind to bad. Next my class went outside for fitness,  that was the best out of the whole day for me.
So we lined up and then walked up to the field. Trent or Alex were holding the ball on the way.
Up on the field.

Alex put he ball down for us to start the scorer game, it started, when it started my heart started to pumb faster and my blood flowed though me fast, The ball was kicked in front of me I ran with the ball and almost made it but I deiced to past it to other player.
We played like that for 10 minutes. We came back to class in a line some kid's went for a drink of water.
(Back in class) We started on with our writing, we had to solve the written story.
I tried to work out it but it was just to noisy and I keep talking and then get back to work, start talking again, get back to work, talk, work, talk, work talk. It was like if one friend is saying get back to work and the other friend is trying to make me talk with him.


Then morning tea came alone I played rugby with all the year 6 and 7, not even one time I got the ball, all of them were like "YA,Ya,YA,SHAM ONLY OUR TEAM WON, NO OUR TEAM BECAUSE WE GOT THE LAST TRY"!!!.
Then the bell rang.

On Saturday

On Saturday I went for a walk with two friends.

Today after coming from the point England school I saw my friend Simeon walking through the alleyway when we drove passed I waved at him and he waved back. The alleyway was close to my house so I just walked there. When I walked there he asked if I want to go with him, so I told him to wait at the end of the alleyway because I was going to ask my dad, I ask my dad if I can go with my friend, he said "only if they drop you back home" so the was a yes because they were going to drop me home.


So first we went to pick up sale, then we to the fenchruch to get some hot chips.
We went to Alex house to see if he want to come walk with us, but they were just getting ready to go to the airport. Next we went to loto house, only the little brother and the grandparents were there.
So we just went to the park, they were going to drop me off but my family already came to the park with the car and went with me home, and that was it.

Bird feeders

Today we made bird feeders as part of our wastewise lesson. We have been learning to reuse, reduce and recycle. We reused the bottles to feed the birds. Then we will recycle them once the birds are finished.

How did we created them?
So we got one big bottle with no water. Then when you got the bottle you get a ice cream stick and poke a hole in it and leave the two sticks in it.

When you have done that paint the bottle how ever you like to attract the birds...

After open the bottle lid and pour seeds into it, then you put some strings and hang it on a tree.

I don't like getting Hair cut

Today I had a hair cut.
If you guys didn't know, I hate getting my hair cut. Why you ask? Because I get lots of hair cuts after 3 or 4 weeks. If you were me, you would hate getting hair cuts.
I also don't like getting hair cuts because my dad takes so long doing it.
So that is why I don't like getting hair cuts.

At the bush and beach

Monday the 13th of February 2017 me and my family went to the bush. 

When we went to the bush we all feed the ducks.

The duck looked very hungry as if they had no food for days, but lucky we came to feed them.

After feeding the ducks we went for a walk. We walked around the block. 

Well I was walking through the bush I breathed in the air it felt like I was drinking a whole glass of cold water.

When that was done went to becasue the beach was right next to the bush.

So we walked through the beach my sister Dora had no shoes on, we saw this big big block of mud was in the ground so my sister walked it because if we walk back we will take even longer to walk to the car, so when Dora stepped into it her leg sunk into the ground but not her whole leg just half.

Luckily we made out of the mud with out getting stuck. So we walked back to the car, and drove back home.
