The Great Film Making Adventure

 On Monday some people from room 41 and 42 were making a film when they lost an item of furniture that belonged to our class, it was a cookie pad. One cookie pad costs $58. They were filing down the back of a school, Connor threw the cookie pad and Kodi dodged it. It went tumbling down the bank and into the bush. They decided not to tell anyone... The next day Travis told Mrs Mills, she took Connor, Kodi, Zane & Matt down to look for the cookie pad. They were unable to find the cookie pad but they found some kids from Tauranga Intermediate down there.

Weekend Poem

We went to Whakatane to celebrate 20 years since my step-nanas passing.
Every grave had at least 1 red flower, except ours which had 3 bouquets of bright summerly flowers.
Even the oldest graves had some flowers, they were mostly plastic though.

Inferring ll

1) Felila was exhausted.
She had a face as bright as the sun. She crawled around on her knees and collapsed ever once in a while. She was downing every drop of water she could find.
2) Russell was hungry.
Russell was biting at his pencil. As the bell rang for the end of the block Russell rushed eagerly for his bag. He grabbed his apple and then everything else, he even took his friends lunch aswell. After 5 minutes he was done and was back for more.

Inferring

1. Matthew was lonely.
Matthew is a boy who is often by himself, he was always frowning and never had an excited look for anything including working with someone else. He wears dull glasses that repels people from him as they can't tell his emotions. Matthew always sits at the back of the class alone with no one around him, the nearest person is at the 5th row from the back.
2. Kyle was excited about maths.
He sat at the front of the class with his pencils sharpened and his page ruled up. He was ready for it, the tension building up, would he get 100%?

The Savants

A savant is someone with autism. People with autism are generally specially talented at one thing only, their are only 50 people known as savants alive, their brains function differently to most people. We watched a video about George Finn, he was able to recall what the days were if someone gave him a date, for example you could say 31st August 1643 and he would name what day of the week it was. We watched another video of Daniel Tamment, he memorized the first 22,000 numbers of Pi. He traveled to Oxford University to recite the numbers to several people who were following on the sheet. He was going for the world record and he achieved.

Last Few Days

On Thursday at football practice I got tackled and landed on my shoulder, I couldn't move it and was unable to move. We had to call the ambulance, the man said that it would take approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour for it to arrive. Once the ambulance arrived they made me inhale some happy gas, I fell to sleep for 10 seconds, then I woke up, the pain was mostly gone but came back in 20 seconds. This gave the paramedics enough time to get me back on my feet. We went to the hospital and they did an x-ray on my shoulder and gave me some medicine. My lowlight was having to have some sticks shoved up my nose with medecine in them.

Persuasion To Start A Sport

To Hoani,
One sport that I do is athletics. I would suggest this sport because you get to travel all over the place competing and meeting new people. This is a very competitive sport, you have to try your hardest every time. There are events called "ribbon days" you go to different towns and compete, each event you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd in you get a ribbon. In certain events you get points for your club every time you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd. There is one event called

What Annoys Me!

What annoys me?
•Something that annoys me is people bragging about their talents. I think that this is an example of someone completely self centered, someone who just wants to put other people down. I can't stand looking on YouTube and seeing "Cristiano Ronaldo Epic Skills(Way Better Than You)." When you are playing football and people are watching, they put you down and say "why didn't you do this."

For & Against 2

Football is the best sport..

For:
•You do not gain as much injuries as other sports, it is a lower contact sport.
•You don't have to put up with lots of fights.
•You get more glory if you score than you would in other sports such as rugby.
•The games are generally earlier, you still have opportunities to carry out other tasks on that day.
Against:
•Most coaches generally substitute players every 5-15 minutes, so that everyone gets a fair chance to play.

For & Against

Computer Gaming Is Good For You?

For?
•It is enjoyable and keeps you occupied when you are bored.
•Some games can enhance your real life ability by giving you tips or showing you what to do.

Against?
•You will slowly gain weight and your social life will start to disappear.
•Gaming can become an addiction, you have to balance it out with other tasks in your life.

Who Am I?

I'm larger than a normal person, by a lot.

Sign Language

This week we have been learning languages, we have been split into two groups between the year eight classes. One group has been learning Sign Language and the other has been learning Mandarin. I have been in room 41, I have been learning sign languages. We have been learning basic vocabulary and sentences, such as hello and how are you. We had to make a short video of us doing all the basic vocabulary signs. We had to add subtitles in to our videos showing what the signs meant..
