Thinking Hats/Reflection on Netbooks

 Complaining from my cousins is all I hear from them. Why? Well because at their school they have to use the boring paper and pencils. But luckily for me I get to use a netbook which is much easier to handle.

 Instead of nagging everyone and reading boring books. Just type in keywords in Google and you’ll find lots of different and interesting things about your subject. Not only that but you learn faster too. It’s portable and convenient too.

Not everything is good about netbooks. For instance, once you've broken you have to pay heaps of money to repair it.

  The netbook makes learning much easier in so many ways. For example, when you want to erase your work, you don’t have to tire your arm out. With a click of a button it just goes away. Collecting information is faster and easier too.

 

 Only if it had photo booth, iMovie, hyperstudio and garageband, these few little tweaks would make this the best learning tool ever!!!


  

Original Swag

I finally got to make my own style of clothing. On Friday I was a free time designer. I used pizap to create the background and found images of objects and stuck them on to make clothing like I did with my t'shirt, hat and shorts. I call my style, 'Original Swag'. I hope you like it... <3

Thanks Telecom!!!

Free bus's, free picnic, and allowed to light the Telecom Christmas tree! How better could it get. Actually it could because we got to watch Titanium. Well Thanks to Telecom, some students from our school were invited to help light the big Christmas tree at Victoria Park with their families.

   What a wonderful night it was. There were so many things to do. Like make Christmas Decorations, get your face painted, call Santa and listen to different New Zealand artist. One of my favourite artist was the famous New Zealand band.... TITANIUM!!

   After Titanium had finished their act Oscar from Sione's Wedding ended the night with calling Santa  and lighting the BIG CHRISTMAS TREE.
 
   Thank-you Telecom for giving our school this amazing opportunity. You're the best!!!

Robin Kahukiwas Piece of art

      Robin Kahukiwa is a New Zealand Artist who paints lots of different maori legends. This was an activity we had to do in extension. first we had to found out heaps about Robin. Then we had to copy one of her paintings on Hyperstudio. Compared to Robins painting my version looks nothing like it. Hope you enjoy it.

THE BEST CAMP EVER!!!

After a long hike up the biggest mountain I've ever seen, I was so glad to see water. But then again not. Why? Because it made me need to do some personal business.

 The last few minutes of lunch time had come to an end. Luckily we were going back to the camp-site to have dinner. But the other downside was hiking all the way back up and down the mountain. As the track came to an end without getting changed or putting my water shoes on I ran straight to the wharf.

 “Tasi, lua, tolu, fa, yeah buddy”, my sister,(my best friend Nita) and I chanted as we jumped. Up the stairs and off the wharf, went me and Nita like about more than twenty times. Our time had finished and it was time for dinner. Without a doubt I was straight to the shower.

 thinking about the next day while having my dinner, I just couldn't wait to have dessert. What a tiring but fun day to start camp.

1 More sleep till Camp!

I'm so excited that we only have one more night till camp. The only bummer is we have to be at school at SEVEN O'CLOCK!!!

   An hour and a half on the bus, and thirty minutes on the ferry means we'll have to wait 2 hours until were arrive. I can't wait that long. Wish there were a faster way to get there.

   All the different activities like, Ab-seiling, Kayaking, Convidence course and MORE. One of the most nervracking activity will be the Burma Trail because your blindfolded and have to rely on your partner. Also you might step on something or hurt someone. But other than that I reckon it will be the best camp ever.

   A big challenge for me will be surviving with no internet, phone, or radio. I mean I have to be able to talk to other people than school mates. But besides that I'll survive.

                THIS IS GOING TO BE THE BEST CAMP EVEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!
