Should Year 7/8s compete at polyfest?

Yes, I think this because the students will get more experience of what it’s like to perform in front of a big crowd. Another reason would be so they can extend their knowledge of the different cultures and places they all come from. It makes them acknowledge that where they come from is apart of their identity as a person. People would like to see younger students perform at polyfest because it will be a different type of experience, not only seeing secondary schools compete but our year 7 / 8 students adding on to the excitement and joy polyfest competitors bring to the people watching them. Overall It would be great seeing different groups of all ages aligable, to perform.

The child was born in the dark jungle with fear

Then the monkey took him on his back and made him drop his tears.

They went through trees and lakes, mountains and caves

To their own place on the mountain caves

 

He squeezed his eyes as hard as he can  

He could hear birds and ducks on the trees and lakes.

The whistling winds the rushing rivers, 

glowing like waves sparkling like diamonds.

 

The weather was freezing cold,

The giant mountain included gold

The cave lived a monkey, and a child too.

 

In the first term of the year we learned all thoughts of skill that we will need through out the year. I have been working and getting evidence to move up zone on SDL.

I am very excited for camp this year, also rainbow ends at the end of the year.

This digital art is all about me, some of my favorite things to do and my hobbies.  This art was fun and exciting to do, it has over 500 different objects that you can use to describe your own hobbies and the thing you like to do.  For me I put some instruments that I learn and like, I also added things that are related to my culture.

The school holidays my friend Steven, David and I spend a lot of time on our skateboards. We wanted to be the best at it by learning the steps one by one. We went to the botanic gardens to learn at a flat platform, but unfortunately we got kicked out of there because they said no skateboard or other bicycle allowed.

We thought it would be cool to come to the school and practise our skills to an intermediate level and get comfortable with our boards. We successfully got comfortable with our board as we’ve been practising for 3 days but I also damaged my foot by accident and couldn’t really push harder.

A few more days later I was fully recovered and we decided to go to the skatepark together but David had to stay home.  As soon we got there we were super excited and started to practise ASAP.  We couldn’t wait for our parents to park, so we left them behind. There’s a lot of people at the skatepark. Almost most of the plate form has been taken, but the empty flat concrete is what is left.  Me and Steven had no choice, we didn’t know that there’s a lot of people at around 4 PM, and also a lot of screaming.

I spent half of my holidays hanging out with my friends, and I have work to do in the other half. I had to go to my drawing teacher and learn how to draw real humans that are made out of rocks.  The drawing was successful but it was hard to draw the hair, but luckily it only took me 6 hours to finish the whole design.

My term 3 holidays were really fun but I hope the botanic garden will let us ride on our boards.

Last Friday afternoon there was a interesting special event in our hall.  It’s the Kiwi Kakapo assembly! They all dressed up really colorful in the hall dancing and inter dusting their learning space and what they did in term 1 as they dance along I heard the parents recording and talking.

They did all thoughts of dances like coconut dance, fish & chips and vlogs about their learning. Everyone was giggling of how cute there are. The two reporters told us about their goals and introduced their classmates about what’s their favorite thing in their learning space or their favorite subject.

It was loud and tired sitting on the floor, my legs were sore like I didn’t even grow them. Until finally it was finished, I stand up finding myself losing control on my legs they’re dead I almost fell, but I managed to stand.  The assembly was funny when they introduced their learning space and what they have done. It was great but my legs are hurting with pain, it felt like it’s been frozen   in a fridge or something it was successful and entertaining.

 

 

As usual I woke up and got changed to my school uniform and ate breakfast. It was all normal like it used to be, but when my mum dropped me of at the side of the drive way from school I started to realize something was wrong.

There had been always students walking to school but today there was none. Even the cars were gone, it made me get a bit nervous that if it was a public holiday I’ll be the only one that’s at school with my school uniform on.

Just I was thinking why didn’t anybody told me that  I began to walk to the building and check but somehow the doors were unlocked.

Well it might that Mrs Fowler was too lazy so she left it open anyways I check the hall there was no one there and the classrooms, kakapo cafe, the playground and Mrs Fowler office. BRUHH I came to school with everything ready but no one told me that it was a public holiday, now I have to walk home.

I am the 123abc news reporter near Wellington, the greatest news vibes in NZ.  Today I am going to The Gardens School for a science fair news report. I am really glad to see the children’s task, it has been a long morning for me to get ready for the exciting session for today.  It took long enough to get there, the first thing I did when I got there was open a live. 

As we can see Mrs Fowler was very cheerful for us 123abc news to interview The Gardens School.  Before Mrs Fowler could say anything I was shocked at the children’s project such a beautiful thing my daw was almost touching the ground.  As Mrs Fowler was introducing everything I could barely talk about, the project was super special and smooth by each student in the Gardens School. 

There were so many items and videos that explained what each student does. The mountain, candles, pickles, pottery, survival kits and more…I very much enjoyed the most of it even though some of the projects were kinda getting destroyed by some nouty kids. The most part I enjoyed was the mountains. It was fully decorated and every detail was 100% perfect.

It was really fun spending my time in the Gardens School and the live performance went viral. Everything was amazing. Well it’s time to head off to a different school. Before I got in the van Mrs Fowler told me that tomorrow there is going to be a volcano explosion soon after school. I wish I had time to go and watch the whole session at the garden school.

On Friday my boss told me that I could have a day off at home.  So I decided to go join the volcano explosion in the afternoon.  As Mrs Fowler saw me wandering where to go in the middle of the crowd she quickly told me where to go and we all watched the volcano explosion together.
