<br />
Before the trip, students researched the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. They brainstormed ideas of what they wanted to film while up in the Bay of Islands and it was decided to create a mini-documentary about the signing of the Treaty.<br />
<br />
One of the highlights for our students was the fact that they got to walk in the footsteps of many of our ancestors. It was an amazing experience for them indeed! <br />
<br />
Many hours were spent writing scripts, choosing actors, collecting costumes, thinking about film shots, shooting, editing, creating voice-overs etc. This is their entry for the Manaiakalani Film Festival 2013. Introducing... 'Waitangi' <br />

Last week was a very interesting week for the Point England kids because Will.i.am (the lead singer of Black Eyed Peas) came to our school. He came to donate a cheque for the Manaiakalani Education Trust to help provide the schools with new computers and ipads for students to work with.<br />
<br />
I felt very excited and delighted at the time because a very famous pop star came in to donate a large amount money.<br />
<br />
So, I would like to say a big thank you to Will.i.am for your support and your kindness to our trust. Hopefully in the future we can succeed in what we would like to be.<br />

Students were given a brief to create a D.L.O (digital learning object) to teach the rest of the school the karakia through P.E.N.N. Their audience is both students and teachers and the purpose of their DLO is for the audience to be able to recite the karakia in Māori and to also gain understanding of what the karakia means. Here is an excellent example from <a href="http://peskobew.blogspot.co.nz/">Kobe</a> and <a href="http://pescarloss.blogspot.co.nz/">Carlos</a>! Tau kē korua!<br />

(protocols) of collecting harakeke (flax). Flax is a taonga to
all Maori people because they used flax for all sorts of things like for
example clothing, baskets and many more things. We all walked down to
Omaru Creek and talked about the rules.<br />
<br />
Some rules were to <b>not</b> pick flax at night and to <b>not</b> pick them when it's raining. One of the most important rules was to <b>not</b> cut
the Pepi (baby), Matua (father) and the Whaea (mother) because if you
do then the whole bush will die. There were some other rules we were not
to do with it<br />
<br />
After discussing the rules we went off
and picked our flax. My friend Jorja and I didn't really get to pick
flax but we did get to capture everyone participating in this event. It
was amazing seeing everyone co-operating together as a team. It was a
short time down at Omaru Creek.<br />
<br />
We came back to school
with our flax in our hands and our class sat down quietly ready to start
weaving. We were trying to weave a putiputi (flower). Some people
got through it but some struggled. This was a great experience.<br />
<br />
Even
though I didn't get to do all of these things but I still had fun
seeing people make the putiputi. At the same time is was funny. Anyway
this day was <b>AWESOME</b>!!<br />

Pt England School walked down to Pt England Reserve for our school picnic last week. This happens every year so that the students, teachers and other adults can bond.<br />
<br />
Walking down to Pt England beach, I felt excited. But then started wondering, "What I should do first?" When we got there everyone had to wait for Mr. Burt to tell us where. The first thing I did was eat my lunch.<br />
<br />
After eating a whole lot of food Jorja, Levi and I wondered off wanting to do something exciting. As we were walking, Mr. Barks called us and asked if we wanted to learn how to fly a kite, we all said YES. First it was Levi. When I got the chance to fly the kite it felt like I was going to be pulled up into the air. It was scary but at the same time fun.<br />
<br />
My favourite thing that day was playing ball tiggy with Jorja, Tyla, Gloria, Kaycee and Neo. Even though it didn't even last 10 minutes, it was still fun. It was fun because you can get tagged easily and there was heaps of action.<br />
<br />
At the end of the day I felt really tired but happy that mostly everyone got along. I am really looking forward for next years picnic.<br />

Anthony.I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce to you one of our new students to Pt England School. Anthony is experimenting with some creative programmes that we commonly use here at PES. We often use these to help create and share our learning.<br />
<br />
This is Anthony's first attempt at an iMovie, using iPhoto and Garageband His brief was to create a quick introduction of himself and to share something interesting that others may not know about him. Enjoy his very first DLO (Digital Learning Object) Ka mau te wehi Anthony! Awesome!<br />

Something magical happens when you see seniors (tuakana) become the teachers of younger students (teina) when helping them to read.<br />
<br />
Every Tuesday afternoon Room 19 and Room 9 meet in the library and select books to read to each other. After our first session last week the feedback from the senior students was very positive. They loved it!<br />
<br />
I wondered around and took some photos of the tamariki reading together. Maybe it's something you'd like to try in your class or in your school. Give it a go!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What is honesty? Honesty is the best policy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being honest is good because then everyone else will trust you and you will be trustworthy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When you tell a lie to someone you are also lieing to yourself. Lieing is bad because when you lie to someone they can actually take it seriously.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember to always tell the truth because lieing is not right.</div>

Tuakana means Big brother/sister and Teina means little bother/sister. We were put into pairs with the juniors. There are a number of reasons why we do this. The main reason is to work with the younger kids so they become whanau (family) and the second reason is so we (us seniors and juniors) get better at reading. We have turns at reading to each other and it's alot of fun. You should try it, maybe you have a junior class or senior class that you would like to start a Tuakana/Teina Reading programme. It's for 1/2 an hour each week and we love it!<br />

Kia ora koutou katoa and Welcome to Term 3. We are all really excited about this term because of the Rugby World Cup. Our inquiry this term is based around "Keeping our eye on the Ball" This means we are focussing on identifying some of the attributes of champions and doing some inquiry around the 20 nations involved in the World Cup. Watch this space!<br />

It was the Room 13 kings who inspired us too... so thanks Room 13 and good luck :) We have to say a huge thank you to Henry Tumanuvao for using his talent to share our ideas about why we think school is cool. Henry was our graphic artist, videographer, producer, editor and creator - You are amazing! Thanks also to our voice over experts Amos Hughes and Te Rangimarie Matatahi.

This year every Friday for an hour and a half the year 7 and 8 students have Taonga time with different teachers in different classes. Taonga means treasure in Maori. Why do we do this you may ask? We do this to learn about the different passions of our teachers. For instance one of my teachers passions is kapa haka.<br />
<br />
We have a number of groups that we split up for Taonga time and they are; kapa haka, sport, music, science, and team building. The group that I am in at the moment is kapa haka. We learn new songs and new actions. We are performing for a powhiri in a couple of weeks.<br />
<br />
I feel very pleased to be in kapa haka. We hope we do well at the powhiri and impress the teachers. I really liked kapa haka in the last session!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaMoAlPTxSZ3DBA7OD9iau7xLRHkn2Y9Xl9h1o1PCCajYLb2iadj_OJxYMHmlva-nXtE7KMEOSBiAtpR8HOqsrb-_fuYsbsGXWV8bELVyuqn0jd_uhcHxi31Ljh7Qgq1OREux3nDWSmfk/s1600/Kapa+haka+girlz.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607505367213507986" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaMoAlPTxSZ3DBA7OD9iau7xLRHkn2Y9Xl9h1o1PCCajYLb2iadj_OJxYMHmlva-nXtE7KMEOSBiAtpR8HOqsrb-_fuYsbsGXWV8bELVyuqn0jd_uhcHxi31Ljh7Qgq1OREux3nDWSmfk/s320/Kapa+haka+girlz.png" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 317px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4079279436401780933.post-76493418528690816212011-06-02T11:39:00.001+12:002011-06-02T11:44:28.079+12:00Vaha's Post - Netball<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieR6ZLPXIYzgI7hsgn2M6JchCsIR7CczmHhnQe43zSPRVECnyr7THGH4jMmiUKbJIcnu4_m6IVB-tmwr74XRx62HrTtEL5k11kuxP5gPrvYjOGg24uto7oRa__Dv7h1GBTRymKfbkNwfAf/s1600/IMG_1451.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607134978210103186" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieR6ZLPXIYzgI7hsgn2M6JchCsIR7CczmHhnQe43zSPRVECnyr7THGH4jMmiUKbJIcnu4_m6IVB-tmwr74XRx62HrTtEL5k11kuxP5gPrvYjOGg24uto7oRa__Dv7h1GBTRymKfbkNwfAf/s320/IMG_1451.JPG" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 180px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br />
On Thursday the 5th of May, Room 22 had their very first netball session with one of the netball helpers called Emma. We have it every Thursday after lunch from 2 o'clock to 2.40 at our school netball court outside the stuff room.<br />
<br />
Our first netball session, we did a whole lot of dynamic stretches. We did bum flicks, high knees and also the grapevine. After learning all these dynamic stretches I can now use them when I’m getting ready for my netball game or when I’m training.<br />
<br />
To finsh of our session we had a good game of corner ball. Corner ball is smiliar to netball but instead of 7 players we split into two teams of 16 players. Also to score a goal, a player from each team had to jump into the corner that was surrounded by small cones and catch the ball. The game was fun and it also went well.<br />
<br />
Our session went well and I also enjoyed it. I really can’t wait for our next session. <br />
