Senior Role Model

What it means to be top of the school.

Next year the year 7’s are going to become year 8’s and it is going to be ‘FUN’. Being senior role models is ‘AWESOME’ because not having the older people looking out for us and when we become year 8’s we can look out for ourselves.

This is what I think being a Senior role model is about: being really tidy and helpful around the school.

The people that I really like being Senior role model of the school that are now year 8’s is April. She is KIND, NICE and FRIENDLY.

Next year there are going to be new role models for our school the people that I think should be are Senior role model should be a great helper, kind and awesome to other people. The person that I would go for is Chelsea because she is a great person. When people need help she is there to help and she is the first one to ask people for help as well.

One of the big things I would like to achieve next year is being in more sports also trying to be aSenior role model and a leader.

Tangata Pasifika

This morning Room 22 were very, very lucky because Tangata Pasifika from channel 1 was coming to film us about what CHRISTMAS means to us?

What Christmas means to me is coming as a family, doing secret Santa and most of all eating food. We always say a prayer to bless our food.

When Tangata Pasifika come into our class Ms V welcomed Osone Okesene and then said this is Chris and Ted, Osene said do you guys know why we are here today 'Osene said "we are here because we while like to film you about begetting and what CHRISTMAS means to us".

Osone was speaking to people that wanted to be interviewed while the rest of us had to finish off our work so when it comes to Christmas we can pass it onto our family.

'Happy as they were packing up with their gear "GOODBYE" Osone said "your class while be on t.v on Thursday night or on Sunday morning" Chris and Ted said " GOODBYE " walking out the door Osone, Chris and Ted were off.

NetBooks

This year is the first year that the yr 5's to yr 8's were finial working on Net books and not in books.

For the first time every we have been taking our Net books home and it has been really, really different in Room 22 because one of the other things that I do like about Net books is that we can type instead of writing it on paper, making mistakes we can fix them by using the dictionary to help us look up stuff to help us solve our work.

`The things that I don't like about Net books is that our Net books take hours to log in to, but with paper and pencil we can just take them out of our desk and start working this is why I have are problem with Net books. When our Net books are at home our Internet take longer to connect at same of our house's'.

Net Books are really fun to have and I can not wait when we go to collage.

What would you do if you won $1 million dollars?.

My year in Room 22 has been (EPIC) not just having are (WONDERFUL) teacher but meeting people that I've seen around but have never ever talk to before. This year was different ever seen's Ms T has been in Room 22, I have improved in my MAORI, AND NOT BEING SHY STANDING IN FRONT OF THE CLASS and besides that Room 22 has learnt same cool basic thinks on our netbooks that we did not know it was pretty fun to learn.

Having are Literacy creative class room with lots of thinks around to help us in need is very challenging because we have different types of things on our wall like our topic called "OUTTA THIS WORLD", our 'LITERACY AND OUR LITERACY CYCLE', 'MuLiTIPlE InTEiLIGeNCeS and many many more things that we have learnt from Ms T and I cant wait to focus on same more cool things. Ms T has made us out standing.

We have are thing that we stand up and do are Mihi to start our day one person stands by them self and says,

'He mihi whanui tenei kia tatou katoa kia koe te ranatira e _____ tena koe mo to mahi whakamoemiti ki to tatou matua i te rangi He mihi aroha tenei ki a koe _____ (teacher) tena koe ka huri au ki nga tauira Kia Ora koutou kato No reira ra tatoua katoa'.

If we have are fun day we finish off by sing some maori songs. THIS IS WHY ROOM 22 IS FUN!

Halloween

It was the night of Halloween? 'trick a treat', in my family we don't go out and get dress up the reason why is because we do not believe Halloween apart from lollies.

Super excited laying in bed watching t.v while the rest of my family were having dinner, next minute? their was are knock on the door. Opening the door " trick a treat " it was our next door neighbors all dressed up with painted faces trying to look scary we told them that we did not believe Halloween so we had no lollies to hand out we said that "we were very sorry" off they went to the next house.

Then a few minutes later their was another knock at the door, getting up to open the door I turned on the hall way lights and I saw someone standing at the door with are bag my mum said "OPEN IT AND TELL THEM WE DON'T HAVE ANY LOLLIES" and once I lean forward to open the door it was my Nana standing outside she was smiling and she was screaming "TRICK A TREAT" and she was laughing her hardest that she could not stop?. Entering with her bag full of good's, DING! the bell rang the cake was ready (WOOPYY) I could not what to shove my mouth with cake.

Finishing off the cake it was time for bed their was no one outside so we could get same sleep. "Bye Bye" my Nana said Kissing us as she took her bag full of lollies and off she went, that was the end of our night of Halloween.
