Statistics and Probability

This is just a little intro of what our gloss test is going to be. Our teacher Mrs Tele'a gave us some easy work to start of the week\term but it's to make sure that we practise so when it comes to gloss test we can ace it.

The best Maniakalni Film Festival movie

This week has being a tough week. People being away and scrips getting changed last minutes but my experience about filming has being great. Our class has  3 different movies but those three different movies are being put together, What are the movies? Well you'll have to wait and see. My group was Thaisoni, Heather, Tevita N, Samoa, Ana L, Hosea, Angelo, Izaac and I. Being in their group was really fun I was playing the part of the "cool guy" I had a lot of fun playing the too cool guy for everything.

The three different movies are awesome I'm really glad that Mrs Tele'a decided that our class would all be in the film. Some class only one or 4 people will be in the film. This year our whole class is able to be in the film and I think that my class is really happy that everyone has a part in the film even if it's just walking past the camera. 

Some challenges for me was time managing because I was down at aims so I didn't have a part in the movie so I had to wait and see if I might be in the movie. Mrs Tele'a is so great that she saved a part for me in the movie so all I had to do was learn my lines and act my part well.  I am grateful that Mrs Tele'a saved a part for me in the movie because it's my last year and I wanted to be in the film for my last year at P.E.S. 

Some movie ideas for next year is Cyber smart, Don't be a bully and A day in Pt England School. These are just some ideas for next year. I think that a day in Pt England School would be really fun. It would be easy and fast to do if you're teacher is under pressure. Next year I would love to come back and watch some new movies that Pt England students. 

This year my class room probably has the best movie not going to lie. I guess we'll have to wait and see at the Manaiakalani Film Festival.  This is a link to all Manaiakalni Film Festival it has all the schools that make movies just like our school, 

Cross Country

On you're marks, Get set, GO!!!! and everyone just starts sprinting as fast as they can. Lanzie in the front and everyone trying to catch him. Second cone and I finally catched him now I was the target, everyone was trying to catch me on to the muddy fields and this just made it harder. What made us even more tired was trying to pull our legs out of the mud. First lap done and Thaisoni is the only one chasing me he stopped to have a rest and Flynlay run right passed him this was a lesson to never stop even if you think no one is close to you. Feeling proud of myself that I never stopped was a good feeling. I just went out there and gave it my best and I came 1st. Placing for me doesn't really matter as long as I push myself to my limits and I diffidently did. Coming 1st was just a bonus for me but every one else did good. Can't wait for fitness training again in team 5.

Homework

Holiday well spent

Last week of holidays, and what’s a better way to finish it then writing it down. Last week was something special me and my family decided to go on a movie night, we watched The boss baby. It was funny because I told my mom that the movie starts at 1:45 but really it started at 12:00 so we went in late. I don’t know how but I didn’t see the 12:00, and during the movies my aunty fell asleep and me and my cousins was just smashing our faces with the food we bought.

After the movies we went for a little walk and looked around, when we finally got bored we decided to go home and have a rest it was fun well it lasted but the main thing for me was spending time with my cousins.

The last week of the holidays was just full of spending time with family, like the first day of the school holiday I finally got to see my sister she came over to spend the holidays with us before she went back to Australia. First we went to Carl’s Jr ate there then we came home but me, my brother and my sister went to the basketball court and played there for a while me and my sister carved up my older brother. My sister and I was finally able to bond because she  normally is always away and now she lives in Australia just makes it even harder but I guess that’s part of growing up. It’s always fun spending time with your only sibling that’s around your age.

I always cherish my memories that I have with my older brothers and sisters because they grew up too fast and I didn’t really get time to spend with them, my older brothers are gone their ways I only have one older brother here with me. I guess it’s fine at least they keep coming and taking us everywhere, my sisters are all playing sports I love that my older siblings never forget their roots.

I just can't wait to get back to school and learn more and improve more, I definitely can't wait to get back in to that leader ship roll as your prefect. See yous next week and lets get ready to learn.

Independent and Dependent writing

This last week of school we are learning about Independent and Dependent clauses. It was challenging but we mentioned to get it finished. Check out Mr Wiseman's site for more and a clause is a group of words that contain subject and predicate 

Why do people need to drink water

Why people need to drink water

Remember the T.I.I.C structure.

T	Title - What you will be explaining
I	Introduction - Tell your audience what the topic is about and what is to be explained.
I	Information - Explain the elements or steps in a logical sequence
C	Conclusion - Final summarising statement, an evaluation or comment about what you have explained.

Title	Why People Need to Drink Water
Introduction	My topic is about why do we need to drink water, Because it keeps us hydrated and active. Because when we do not have enough water in our body we start been lazy so that means that our body hasn’t had enough water.
Information 1st element	It keeps us hydrated and strong. This is why when athletes or players have a big tournament coming up their coach tells them to drink lots of water, it keeps us hydrated and the strength to do lots of things like training but it also helps us with our homework because our brain needs water.
Information 2nd element	So we can have showers. Most countries limit their water so their kids have to take a bath with the same water or they all have to have a shower at the same time. This is why we are so lucky in New Zealand because we can have showers in the morning and in the afternoon so let’s use our water smart and take showers everyday
Information 3rd element	It can prevent you from cancer. As the video said many people get cure and prevent mixed up, No water can not cure you but it can prevent you from cancer so you have a better chance of not having cancer.
Conclusion	We all need water,  because we can’t survive without water. Scientist say that you can survive without food but not water that’s saying that we need water the most. Fizzy drinks should be forbidden under the age of 12 year olds. Keep hydrated.

Story of myself

Talofa lava my name is Siaosi, I am in room 3 with my beautiful teacher Mrs Tele’a. 2017 wow! Hasn’t the year gone fast, it was really sad to see the year 8’s leave but 2017 is our year and no one will stop us. 2016 in sports we have lost many sports, what was worst was most of them we would lose in the finals that didn’t isn’t going to stop us not even for 2017. 2017 is our year so that means every sports we are going to commit to training so we know what to do on the field, it means in learning we are going to pay attention to the teacher and learn as much as possible.

2016 started school in the first day of term 1 one of my main sports that I enjoyed was rugby union, 7’s, Tag, touch and Ki o rahi.  We won Ki o rahi, we lost 7’s at Auckland champs in the finals, we lost rugby union, we lost tag at Auckland champs in our semi and we lost touch in the finals. That’s just my main sports and how gutted we were last year.

2017 is our year we may not be able to win every sports but let’s give it all we got! . This year I am a year 8 student and I want to lead my school\team and strive to succeed. Remember the same effort you give in sports you do the same with our learning.
