Revenge!

Walt:write a succesful recount.

This was the best morning I’ve ever had so far! You must be wondering why?, well it’s because I got to do some revenge. Revenge with a little help from two deputy principles and my friends on the year six teachers. Read on to find out what happened this morning.

The day started off with a normal vibe, we knew we had something to do but didn’t know what activity we were going to do. The three year six classes walked outside to the porch to get ready for their new adventure. In two long lines, the classes walked through the school to get to their destination. Once we arrived at the bottom field there were nine buckets filled with water and one sponge in each. Mr Sommerville and Mr Jacobson told us to line up in three lines for each class, in total there were nine uneven lines. Lastly, the instruction were told to us and slowly a big smirk crawled up to each of the students face.

The nine students that were at the front walked up to the buckets to aim and fire at their teacher. The whole field was filled with laughter. I had about four turns for throwing at Mr Goodwin but ended up missing two shots. It was hilarious how the three sponges were hitting one teacher at the same time. My accuracy wasn’t that good but it was good enough to hit him right on the stomach. A few hits were very funny especially Paschal’s hit, the sponge he threw landed and hit a part, you know what?, I’ll just leave it up to your imagination. I was very sorry for Mr Goodwin as the hits were very harsh (In my vision at least),but that’s what you get for coming up with the idea!

After all the sponges were thrown and the teachers had time to breathe, the three best throwers in the three classes were invited to come up to the front. Paschal,Loseti and Chance were the best and they had the honours to get a bucket each and dump it on the teacher. Chance went first and dumped it right on top of Mr Goodwin’s head, we all watched in awe looking at our teacher getting even more soaking wet. Paschal threw the water out of the bucket onto Mr Goodwin but instead missed. We were all bummed while Mr Goodwin was sitting there on the chair looking happy. Loseti gently turned over the bucket and made the bucket land on his head with the water just dripped down from his head to toes. That was very fun except for the bit when Paschal missed the target!

Overall, that was one of the most funniest activity I have had with my friends! Although, I missed a few shots at the victim and Paschal failed to make us proud by wetting our teacher I had an awesome time. Maybe next time Mr Goodwin will be the one to make us suffer with a harsher revenge, who knows.

Task Description
This writing was originally for our writing test last week but because we had an amazing time we decided to post this writing on our blog. This was an awesome experience/time with our classmates. Hope you enjoy!

Blindfolded for the morning?!?

Walt: write a proper recount
Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you were blind? Well, room seven did something similar to that. I should probably stop writing now just in case I leak some juicy information, but if you want to find out just keep reading to find out what happened.

It was writing time that means it was time for a walk to the field and a fun experience coming towards us. First we had to get ready to do our mystery experience. We took a few minutes because Chance was taking forever to put her shoes on. Room seven finally arrived at the playground in the school and sat down, we were eager to find out what we were going to do. After hearing the instructions we got into buddies for the task. I was so glad that my buddy was Chance and that we were going to be blindfolded around the place.

Now it was time for me to lead the blindfolded Chance around the playground. Before doing anything else I had to check if she could see anything. After making sure she couldn’t see anything, I lead her towards somewhere she could climb up. I was so scared because she is my friend and I didn’t want anything bad to happen to her. She was alright so I was relieved when she didn’t hurt herself. Most of the time I was laughing at her making a fool of herself, you should’ve seen her trying to do the monkey bars! Looking back, I should’ve asked Mr Goodwin or one of the teachers to take a video of her.

After all the laughter, it was finally my turn. Chance put the dark blindfold over my eyes and tightened it in a knot. The only thing I could see was moving patterns even though my eyes were blinded by fabric. The first place Chance took me was the monkey bars, I recognized it straight away since I was familiar with the place. Once, Chance and I reenacted a scene from Titanic (The one where it's Jack and Rose at the edge of the boat holding each other). The most scariest bit of my adventure was walking across from one side to another side on a chained bridge. I was screaming every time I took a step. Overall, I was glad I didn’t die.

This morning did not go as I thought it would go. It seemed like a chill day but it turned into a rollercoaster ride instead. Even though Chance looked like a fool and I luckily didn’t die I had a great morning experience. I would definitely suggest you to do this with your class if they are responsible enough.


Task Description
We are practising how to write a proper recount so we can prepare for our writing test coming up. Our experience was really cool and I can't wait to see what other experiences we will get to experience. I really enjoy writing a recount now!

Expectations for Term 4

Walt: use correct sentences to help structure our writing.

Term 4 has started and the holidays are finished. Say goodbye to youtube and netflix time! This term’s topic is Te Wa Toi meaning Time for art or Art time. Are you ready for a pact term and a lot of blog posts? Read on to find more about my goals,expectations and what going on this new term.

Term 4 is my favourite time of the year as a lot of events happen in 9 weeks. Events like The Manaiakalani Film Festival,Art,Prize Giving and many more to come. So stay tuned to see my blog posts about these awesome events.

Art is a subject or time where I fail in confidence to show my artwork to others. That is one goal that I want to accomplish or work hard on as this term is all about art. Another goal I want to improve on is getting less distracted and spending my work time more wisely. That is all my goals I wish to accomplish this term. Let’s see if I actually make that come true.

I am hoping to learn more about wearable art and Korean art. I have been inspired by K-pop to learn more about Korea and that is what I want to learn a lot about. Maths, that is something I am confident in but I want to be a Maths genius.

Te Wa Toi will be a entertaining yet occupied term. There’s a lot on like The Manaiakalani Film Festival and Prize Giving, and I have two goals I am eager to accomplish, and I hope my teacher reads this so he knows what I would like to learn! Overall, I am excited to see how this term goes.

Task Description
For this task we wrote about the new term ( Term 4), room Seven Literacy had to write about our expectation, goals and ambitions for this last term of the year. I was focusing on how to write a proper conclusion because we had a whole lesson on how to write a proper ending conclusion. I found it hard to not use the same key words over and over again because then my writing would sound repetitive.
