Anzac biscuits

Today we learnt how to make Anzac.

Aspiration Talk

Today we heard from Marcus Winter aka The Sandman and Louis Gordon -Latty. We were all blessed to have them at our school,also there was Andrew Patterson he was introducing our two visitors,will met him last year he was very hilarious.

Louis Gordon- Latty was really inspirational because he was really into basketball,and basketball is one of my favorite games I've played. He is an inspiration to me because he records a lot of his games,and has a lot of detail,because he added a fans and commentary into there game.

What stood out for me was when Marcus Winter talked about how he was growing up and mentioned about the life he is in now. The inspirational thing I heard was when Marcus said "when ever you get bounced you will always have to bounce back," I have never seen one of his art,but when our teacher Mr Wiseman showed us a video of his art I was really amazed of what he does.

I am glad that they came to see our year 7 and 8's,because what I have loved about them is that they had a lot of quotes. Also they never gave up even though they got bounced from a lot of things,the thing I learnt today was to never give up and keep trying.

WW1 mascots

I have been learning about the mascots that went to war.

A day out with my friends

Guess what? Poly fest started this week. I was so excited that we were going with our friends and with our teachers. The year 7 and 8's had a opportunity to go to Parakai pools if we behaved well at the Poly fest, Mrs Tele'a was talking about how we have to behave when we are at Poly fest. I was wanting to go on the first day but we couldn't .

The student's from different schools and our year 7 and 8's were so lucky, because got to meet John key. He had a lot of photographers wanting to take a photo of him but his securities kept on telling them to go but I was excited.

Different activities all around Poly fest. Our first activity was to play squash the point of the game was to try and get the fastest serve, the fastest girl's serve was 111 and the fastest speed of the day was 124 and that was my score. My favorite activity of the day was squash, because I had a lot of fun and it had high scores the fastest in the world was 263. and at the end we got to watch some performances and walked around the stadium twice.

I hope I could go to Poly fest with the year 7 and 8's, because I had a lot of fun with my friends and all the parents that came.

Te tuhi art gallery

     

                                          Te tuhi art gallery

On monday we went on a trip to the Te tuhi art gallery, It was my first going to the art gallery because I've never been there before. I was wondering what to ask about how they made this gallery and how many years has it been functioning for 34 years that is amazing I was looking forward to go to Te tuhi art place because I love art sometimes when I am bored I like to draw.

We finally arrived to the Te tuhi art gallery It looked so small but as we went inside it was quite big, We met our instructor and his name was Jeremy he was really kind to us we learned different type of tapa names. Like the masi which is an fijian name, the ngatu which is from tonga and also the siapo which is from samoa, we made our own tapa on a piece of the first thing we had to do was scrunch the paper and use dye so it looks real then we used a brown pastel and a pencil to finish it off.

Then Jeremy took us for a look around the place and it was fun because we got to see how other cultures like to draw. after Jeremy took us into this room where we have to see how they use to film in the olden days and how they film in the new days.

It  was an good experience for me because It was my first seeing different kind of art mixed with there cultures, I would want to go there in the holidays because It was fun to see a lot of people there enjoying art
