My 2014 School Goals

My Personal Goals - 2014  Date : 24/2/14

My achievement I was most proud of  last year  in the classroom was the FIlmfest movie my friends and I made because although it took about two moths to make it, the finished product would've had to been one of the best movies ever!!

The thing I was most proud of last year outside of the classroom was …  Was kapa haka/te reo because I really got to learn more about the maori culture and I think I'm able to speak more te reo than I ever have.

Akoranga Maurakau Tuatahi (My First Maurakau Lesson)

The new year for kapa haka at school started today. Teaching the year 7&8s , are Mr G, and Miss Tito. Mr G, is kindly giving up more of his time to teach maurakau at school. This is a little video of what we learnt today, at my first maurakau class. Its a little shabby but at the end of the term I'm going to upload another video to show how much I've improved. Hope you enjoy :)

UNICORNS ARE REAL (My edited writing sample)

Unicorns are mostly known to people as made up creatures. But to me they are as real as Barack Obama. Even the way they live is freakishly the same way as him. I have researched many things about unicorns and have put all my findings on a doc that shows that they are real.

 The first unicorn in history, lived on an unknown island 60,000, miles north of Rangitoto, Auckland, New Zealand. Unicorns were created by the love making of a deformed pony with a cone on his head and a horse. When the horse gave birth, its baby came out with a cone on his head. The name unicorn wasn't the creatures original name though. It was Unicone because of the one cone he was born with.

 He lived on that island for soo many years, getting called ugly, deformed and dorky so he had to leave. The unicorn flew to Glen Innes in Auckland on his eagle friend. This was in 1998. Since he was living in a new place, the unicorn had to change his diet.

 Breakfast and lunch was chicken and chips from My Bakery, and dinner was just the usual fish and chips from Marsics with a little bit of lollies. You would imagine that the unicorn would've been fat. Instead of exercising to burn everything off, the creature burped rainbows and farted skittles. That's the unicorns form of exercise.

 The unicorn species have increased over the years. In 2014, there have been 2654 more unicorns made since 2001. So thanks to the one unicorn that found a good horse friend, and enlarged his species of animals.

I have come to a conclusion, that they are real based on the information I have gathered. I would one day love to see one of these Unicorns to prove the world that they’re wrong about them. So this is it my story to prove that Unicorns are real.

Day One Of School...

Eager to start school, I prepared myself, feeling nervous. The new year of school was almost about to start, and the nerves were getting to me. Prefect, Yr8, role model... I was so worried that I wouldn’t be up to the expectations.

The Trumpet Dance

I was bored out of my mind watching videos, when I stumbled upon a creative and cool movie. It was the trumpet dance. Three guys were in a car and dancing along to Trumpets by Jason Derulo. The video inspired me create my own video. So here it is. Enjoy

The Start of My Dancing Aspirations

Three More Days, AARRHH!!

  OMG!!! Three more days until Christmas and I JUST STARTED shopping today. I am soo worried that I wont get everyone in my family a present. I mean two days for five people. Are you serious?? Im kind of lucky though because the person I really wanted to get a present for was my mum.

   I was thinking of what I could get her. It was hard and I was running out of time so I thought, "Summer, shoes, JANDALS!!" Jandals it was, so off to Sylvia park my dad and I went. Getting the jandals was easy, it was trying to rap them up with out her noticing was the hard part.

   We got home and she had gone somewhere. I knew this was the only time I had to rap it up and put it under the tree so I did. I did a rushed job though because I kept thinking she would pull up and snap me. I did it, it was all rapped up and covered. But there was something missing. I looked at the other presents under the tree and couldn't find what it was. 

  Then she walked in and in her hand was the mail. "Card!", I said to myself. I ran to my room and quickly wrote a Merry Christmas on a paper and folded it up. I was just about to stick it on when I realise she was right behind me. Slowly turning around, I say to her, "Mum can you hear that I think its coming from the bathroom??" She turned around and walked off. Slamming the present, I put the card on it. "fewhh, one down, four to go."
