Samoan Language Week 2019

"Lalaga le si'osi'omaga mo se lumana'i manuia
Weave an environment for a better future."

This is the theme for Samoan Language Week in 2019. In Team 5 we have enjoyed learning new words and phrases we can use everyday like "tulou" - an expression to use to excuse yourself if your movements are going to obstruct the view of others.

Check out some highlights from today's Samoan Language Week assembly.

Fa'afetai ma ia manuia tele le toe vaiaso.

Blog of the Week: MARIA Year 8 Leadership Camp 2019

Check out this blog post from Maria, a Year 8 from Room 2 and her thoughts about the Leadership Camp in Thames.

Last week Wednesday we all went to team 5 block when the bell rang, after we
all sat down including the year 7’s after they did the mihi, karakia we started to
sing the song that was chosen because it was a normal day but it was different
because of the notices was short. After we finish Mr Burt came to give the whole
team 5 a talk about how the year 8’s are going camp and the year 7’s needed to
take over the prefects because the year 8 prefects were going to the year 8 leadership camp.
 


When we were finish we all went to the hall to go pick up the bags and the
suitcase
the instructions were to pick up any bag that was around when we pick up the
bags we put it on the bus when we started to finish putting the bags on the bus
we went to go and sit on our buses that was given to us to stay on. It took 2 hours
to get to the kauaeranga valley christian camp. When we were on the bus we
were playing talking to our buddies about how it would look like and i thought on
the other side of new Zealand would be cities but it’s a countryside with farms and
animals but it was cool looking at the animals and the farms.

When we had arrive at kauaeranga valley christian camp we all were meeting the
people that was introducing themselves to us, after they have introduce
themselves we started to put our gear into the cabins that we have bring to
stay at the camp.After we had put our gear into the camp we weren’t aloud to
put our sleeping bag and pillow onto the bed because the teacher said cause we
 had a lot of time to play today we had our first activity for thames we had go kart it
was fun i keep on going on it and everyone else was, it was so fun. We only had 2
days a night and he we had fun together when we had arrive and on the other days
we had a disco on our last day at camp it was so fun we had so many light off and
there was colourful lights shining. Then we started to go sleep before we hittin the
road back to school but we had a special place to go it was a garden with some
animals in their and plus their was secret pranks hidden it was so fun and funny.
After we were finish we started to go back to school and go back home.
THE END.

Blog of the Week: NEVAEH - Co-ordinate Graphs

Task Description: This is the task we have been working on by using co-ordinates and X axis and Y axis.  As you could see that the shape is a Easter egg but we didn't just draw it like that, we had a sheet that had co-ordinates on and we had to plot the points on where the number says.  Then after plotting the lines we had to connect the dots and it will make the shape of a Easter egg.
