My Favourite Toy.

My favourite toy is a koala bear.  I’ve had my koala bear since I started school (5 years old). I first got my koala when we were playing a game at school. My teacher wrapped the koala in lots of layers of paper and passed it around to the kids who were sitting in a circle. When we started passing it we had to unwrap it. When we had finished the person could keep the toy if they unwrapped the last piece of paper.

When we finished playing the game, I ended up going home with a toy. When I got home I was excited because I had my first toy.

When I first got my koala I was happy because I’ve always loved animals. When I first started school I was happy because we played a game I never played before. When we started my friends were telling me how to play and what you get sometimes. These are good memories of me and my koala.

Toy Story

This we are learning about Toy story. This we went to assembly to see what we're doing for our topic for this term. When we arrived we saw some teachers in outfits and in costumes. After Mr Burt finished talking about our topic there were teachers who were performing on stage and showing us what they were doing for this term's topic. When they started we were laughing at what they were doing.

When team 1 went up on stage I saw them in a space suit and acting and also giving things out to people who had to stand up and play the musical instrument. When they gave everything out the first person was Richard when he got given the instrument he had to go up near the stage. After that finished team 2 went up and played twinkle little star song and added a dance to it.

When they started I was sitting there watching them sing and dance at the same time. When I saw this video of twinkle little star I thought that the little kids had to sing it to. When the next team hopped on stage I was wondering who was going up. After team 2 finished the next team hopped on straight away. When I saw barbie hop on stage I saw Mrs Barks' daughter running down the aisle like a cheerleader.

Term 3 Reflection

This term I have been learning about Go for Gold that was our topic for this term. I have learnt interesting things from my teacher and also been learning a lot of hard things that were difficult and been helping others through their writing. I enjoyed playing with my friends and doing lots of fun activities with teachers and friends. I have tried my hardest to improve more in my writing and improve more in my work.

This Term I am finding out more things about the 2012 Olympics and how it and when it began. I have been trying my best to co-operate with the teachers and I have been trying my best to listen to the teachers and find out more things about our topic. I have been doing my fitness log movie (40 push ups) and I have been getting help from my friends and others.

I have tried to help people who are stuck with their writing and tried helping others. This term I wanted to play more sports. I hope that when
I grow up I am able to be a rugby player or play or sorts of sports with my friends and family and enjoying myself with my family and friends. When I’m older enough I would like to be a volunteer (SPCA) and  help those poor animals who are finding their life’s hard.

Olypics Sports Day.

Yesterday morning the students of Point England School had a sports day. During session we had rotations and teachers who were finding out where and what we were playing for sports. When we arrived at our game (Rounders) I found it hard to play but when we stayed longer I found it easy for me to play threw all the games. Before that we were all on the netball courts and in lines in our countries and leaders. They were holding up the flag and finding people who were in our group.


When we started rotating to another game we had to pick to groups for each game we were playing (Touch) . After that we finished and started walking over to the street for our next game. When we arrived our teacher was waiting for us to start playing.

During the game (Four Square) we had to sit down and wait for the next player to play. When they lost there were other people who got turns every time. But when they lost the other player would get a turn but if they won they carried on with the game. After we finished the game we had to stay and wait for the other team to come and join us. When we started we were finding it hard to play against other players.

But when it came to us girls we were losing by miles. Then when the boys hopped on we got a tie. After we finished the game the other team won. We went to the next game ( Hand-ball ) and started listening to Mr Somerville when we started we could only bounce the ball three times or
step 3 times when we have the ball it was similar to netball. When we cooperated we were  working as a team.

When it came to the end we were all happy and couldn’t wait to go home. When were playing in the hall I was finding it hard because we had to rotate and sit down and play (Volleyball) on the ground. When the person served and they won we had to rotate.  

After that we all assembled on the court .Mr Burt thank all the teachers and helpers especially Miss Va’afusuaga. After that he closed with a prayer , we went back to class and then we went home.  

What If I was a principal ?

What If I was a Principal? I would offer Ipads or Netbooks for ourstudents to write or... search what we are writing or publish their work and also make animations and take photo’s of visitors and share important things to the teachers and make them have sports and build them a studio for them to practice learning their script also sing and practice  their movie’s songs.

If I was a Principal I would put a room space in each class and have a artist studio for the people who would like their dreams to draw or paint.
I also show visitors how amazing our students are. I would show our visitors where and what we done to provide these things and how amazing work we have done.

I would provide a meeting for every student who are in extension. I would let them create how amazing art work they do and what kind of exam are they on for college. I would help the people who aren't are sportifice person or encourage them to play sport and provide them athletic’s.

If there were more choices I would put a meeting up to ask them what's wrong and if there were any problems. If there were space in our school I would put a netball court and a basketball court and a tennis court outside our school grounds.
