Reflection - Learning This Year 2020
Challenges:
This year, My teacher Mrs Tafea has been teaching
Room 7 how to do different kinds of work that we have
not learnt before.
Favourite things:
My favourite thing about this year is doing different
kinds of maths with Mr Tafea, but sometimes
he teaches us the same maths that we keep forgetting about.
I like maths because maths are easier than some
of the other subjects.
New things we have learnt:
The new things we have learnt with Mrs Tafea were
: Reading: 3 level questionings, especially
critical questions, Body parts and their
functions also the organ system plus major
systems & Maths: Ratio & Bodmas Or Bedmas.
Highlight:
My highlight for this year is to help other students
with their work, also I am trying to get a certificate
for this year on prize giving and if i get a certificate
my parents would be proud of me because my parents
kept pushing me to do a lot of work to get a certificate.
So that's why I kept doing all the work at home instead
of watching youtube or stuff like that, so I am trying
to get a certificate to make my parents proud of me again
like last year.

Writing - Rewriting Moana's Story
On Saturday morning we got up really early and watched cartoons on T.V. There was this really funny bit on “What Now” when Mike tipped a bottle of milk over Tina’s head. I pretended to tip a bottle of milk over Sam’s head, but he didn’t laugh. At nine o'clock Mum got up, we got told off for making a mess in the lounge. It wasn’t even that messy, there were just a few cushions and some Lego on the floor. There was some milk on the floor too, but hardly any. Mum said we had to clean everything up. I ended up cleaning most of it up by myself, Sam just pretended to help.
Then we went to swimming lessons. I am in the Sharks’ group and Sam is in the Tadpoles. I am the best at backstroke in our group. My swimming teacher said I might be able to go in the inter-club swimming competition.
After swimming we went to Mcdonalds for lunch. Yum!, I had a Big Mac combo and Sam had a cheeseburger combo. We got some stickers with our meals, Mum had a coffee. She doesn’t like Mcdonalds food that much.
When we got home, Sam and I made a hut in the basement under our house. We got some old furniture and set it up, it looked really good but it was quite dark.
We had macaroni and cheese for tea. I hate macaroni and cheese. I call it macaroni slime. Mum said I didn’t have to eat it all, but I had to eat some. I ate a tiny bit, but then I ate lots of ice-cream for pudding, so I wasn’t hungry at all.

Recount About My Fun Holiday
Recount About My Fun Holiday!
On Tuesday 6th of October, my family and I went to Sylvia park because we were wanting to go there to eat and walk around the mall and buy clothes, shoes or anything not just stay at home being so bored doing nothing.
First, we drove to Sylvia park and started walking around the mall and see what they had there. My brother and I were so angry
that we didn’t get any clothes or stuff like that because we didn’t ask for it.
After that we were so hungry that we wanted Mcdonalds, when we walked
all the way to the eating area we ate and then we left to go and walk to the
end so that we can be finish walking for now, but my older brother
wanted to walk forever because he wanted to
lose some weight so that he cannot
eat any junk food anymore.
Second, My mum wanted to go shopping at Pak N Save because there was no food at home to eat. So when we went inside Pak N Save we all wanted some ice-cream for our desert for that day. When we came out of Pak N Save we had to eat outside Sylvia park because my mum did not want to have a mees in the car so we ate and ate until we finished eating so that we
can go inside the car and go home and have some time to do
our own stuff.
Third, After that we drove back home because my mum didn’t
feel well enough to walk forever. So we kept driving and driving until we got
home so that my mum could have some rest and see what was wrong with her.
When we got home we all started to go on Social Media and start
watching peoples videos & pics. After doing that we all had to
go shower because the
other day we were still going to the mall but to the Manukau mall
because that's where everyone goes.
I had so much fun walking around but i was a bit tired after that
so i took a 2hr sleep because of how we were walking around forever.

The Best Fale-Kai...Ever
The Best Fale-Kai...Ever
During Term 3 Room 5, 6 and 7 have been learning how to investigate the students in the school ( Tamaki Primary ). The people who were invited were the School ( Tamaki Primary ), teachers, parents,
and whanau. And also the Fale-Kai Pasifika started on T
hursday 10th September 2020.
Before we did the Restaurant ( Fale-Kai Pasifika ) we were
planning what we were going to do for the Falekai. After that
we started to decorate the hall to make it like it is a restaurant and make it professional and make it the best pasifika food. When
we finished decorating the hall we chose Pauliasi and Dyzon to
entertain the people who were there on the day when it started.
When it was all finished except the food we felt helpful to help Mrs tafea do the food because she was the only one there doing the food. And also we had helpers to do the Fale-kai. It was Ana,
Christine, and Mrs Tafea. The next day, customers started to come in
and sit down and wait for the food to be finished because they felt hungry. While they were waiting they were just looking at Pauliasi and Dyzon practising the Tongan song they were supposed to sing to entertain them.
Later that day, the food was finished and also the drinks
but the whole school wasn’t at the hall because there was no space for them to fit inside so we had mini ubereats to go deliver
to the class so that they can eat in their class.
During that day it was fun, and also we were happy that
we did this kind of restaurant.
The Day When My Grandpa Died
The Day When My Grandpa Died
On Friday 19th September 2019 my brother and I were just at school. During that day on lunchtime we were called to go with my
mum to the Hospital ( Middle More ), but we didn’t know why
we're going home that early. While we were driving to the
Middle More hospital my
mum ( Mata ) told us that our Grandpa ( Siale ) died, so my brother
and I felt so bad that he died and we almost cried
because we didn’t want him to die because he was
the best Grandpa we ever had.
Meanwhile, the doctor told my mum and aunty ( Helena ) that
we have to move him to this room in the Hospital and wait for his
family
to come and kiss him before he gets buried, so we waited for
a long time for his family to come. As soon as possible my
Grandpa’s family came,
when they came in we had to pray before we kiss him.
After the prayer we started to come close to him and kiss him.
Suddenly, it was night time, and we had to go to my uncle's house because there was more space for us to start our prayer because everyday we have to pray for my Grandpa so that he can have a nice Rest In Peace in heaven. At that point, everyone started
because we didn’t want him to die and everyone wanted him back.
The next morning, we had to make food for my Grandpa’s
funeral so that when the funerals finished the people who
were there would
just go to the kitchen and wait for the food we made.
Later that day,
We went to visit where my Grandpa was, but I
didn't go to
see my
Grandpa because I had to look after my cousins because
their parents were going to visit my Grandpa as well.
I wish my Grandpa was still alive because I want him
to come back, but we will still pray for you when you
are in heaven.
