My Hero - Writing 2020

MY HERO

A member of my family who I think is a hero is my beautiful mother who wishes to remain anonymous. I believe she is a hero because she has not only done a lot for me but also for my family. She wakes up at 6am in the morning to get ready for work as well as pack our lunch and get all siblings ready for school. She then returns home 6pm at night and cooks our dinner. For those of you that do not know but I am the middle child of 6 kids. Thats a lot of people that she has to look after and also clean after everyday. She does all of this with a smile on her face and hope in her eyes, never once have I heard her complain and thats one of the many reasons why I think she is a hero. She may not be famous or have super powers but that doesn't matter to me because the greatest gift ever gifted to me is to have her as my mother. 

Task Description 

Our Create Task was to write about a family hero and explain how they are a hero to you. This is my explanation. Enjoy! 

Book Summary Chapter 2 - Reading 2020

Chapter of the book "How I didn't straighten my hair (And other life lessons)". There is also a boy who was introduced in the story. His name is Ethan, same age as Dora and lives next door to her Grandparents house. While her mom and sister were gone to a ballet event, Dora is left with her homework lingering on her mind. She thought of a brilliant and eye-catching information poster about Rainforests. Theodora still hasn't managed to find her 'thing' but it seems like she has another goal that she is desperately wanting to achieve.

Will she achieve her new goal? Who knows. We'll find out soon!

Book Summary Chapter 1 - Reading 2020

Chapter One of the book "How I didn't straighten my hair" is all about the main protaganist Dora explaining the dynamics of her greek family. There is a sense of jealousy/sister rivalry between her and her older sister who's still yet to be named.  My guess from this chapter is that the main reason for her jealousy is because her sister is the complete opposite of her both in looks and personality. Her sister has found her thing which is ballet dancing but Dora is still yet to find something that she enjoys and succeeds at and from what I've read so far it is not greek dancing,karate or hip hop. Hopefully in the next chapter we can see Dora explore more possibilities for what her "thing" could be.

My special place

Do you have a special place in your heart? Well, I do and I go to this place every week day.
Can you guess what it is? If you guessed school, you are correct! Pt England School is an
amazing place for me and I will tell you why.

First reason is because of the diligent and precious teachers here at school.
They are so committed to the work that is given and have great chemistry with the students.
I know my teacher, Mrs Tele’a likes to communicate with us through her hilarious jokes. It
makes her and us smiling all day.

The events that happen at my school are very entertaining. We have lots of events not only for
the senior school but for everyone! We get visits from the bubblegum crew and the Duffy show
that everyone gets to watch. My favourite event so far, is Year Six Camp. We had a enthusiastic
time being a nice family and learning to cooperate with one another. I still can’t wait for more
events that are coming!

Learning! The learning here is unbelievable, from the little kids all the way up to the senior
children. We all try our best not only at the test but in class and outside of class. We even have
a new type of Maths called DMIC Maths, so we can all help everyone boost their own
confidence and skill at public talking and sharing their own ideas. That is why I like to do Maths
all the time.

Everyone is caring. Not only do the teachers care for the pupils,the students here at my school
like to take care of each other. We help each other by doing the little things like picking up
rubbish for the environment, teachers, and for our friends and family. Empathy is a big quality
that our Pt England students have, they put themselves last and everyone else first. We learnt
that helping one another is one of the most important things in life and I agree with that.

The final reason is the memories. The memories, the teachers and students created have been
in my heart. I am so grateful for this school because I got meet my friends and wonderful
teachers throughout these past years and it’s hard to believe I only have this year and next year
to make more memories in this school before I go off to College. So, I have to make the most
of this year and next year!

There you have it!, an explanation on why my School is a special place. Before you go and
continue your day, I want you think deeply about your school memories and cherish the time
you had with your friends, teachers and more. Remember to be grateful for your school!

Task Description

This is my writing for the writing test. We had to write a explanation about a special place. Here it is!

Favourite thing to do at PES

Do you have any highlights that stood out in your school life?

I have plenty and I am excited to tell you what one of them are.
Today I am going to be explaining my favourite things at school.
If you want to find out more then just keep on reading!

One of my favourite events so far is Year 6 Camp.
We got do fun stuff like Abseiling,Kayaking,Raft building and jumping off the Pontoon.
The reason why is because we had an opportunity to go to
another place which was Kawau Island.

Another reason why is because of the item night.
On a thursday night, we had to do our chant and a item we had prepared for the last week or so.
We all worked hard together to have the perfect dance and chant.
What I loved about this night is that not only did we come second but everyone had a
great time dancing!

Last reason is the Bivouac building.
Bivouac is when you have to build a hut and it has to fit the whole group in it.
Me and Marika were a group and we made a decent house with wood.
There were a few holes so when we had to tip a bucket of water over the house,
Marika got wet on her head. That was funny.

That's all I have for you! I hope you enjoyed my writing.
Feel free to comment what your favourite thing to do at school.

Steps to becoming a Role-Model

Do you want to be a role-model? Well, you better listen up because if you want to become someone like me then I guarantee you will succeed. I have 2 secret steps to be the perfect role-model everyone wants. Read on to find out what those secrets are.

The first step to becoming a role-model is about your look and attitude. You will have to wear appropriate clothes and you have to have a good attitude. If you go to school and wear a uniform then wear it with pride and remember to always wear a smile to get the best look in your class. You will look like a leader, but don’t smile too much because that will make you look weird.

Secondly, you will need to show leadership. One way to show leadership is by being trustworthy,having respect,confidence and to just lead the way. As a leader, older and younger people will rely on you often. You must also always have respect. Respect for everyone and everything. Confidence is very important when you are a role model because you will have to do jobs which includes public speaking and more.

Well, there you have it. The two main steps to becoming successful. I guarantee you that you will get everyone to follow and admire you after this. Have a great day!

Visual Mihi 2019

Walt: Draw our Visual Mihi and explain our four important things in life.











Task Description
Above this you will see 4 pictures and myself. In the top left corner is a cross and the bible it represents that I believe in Jesus which means I am a christian. In the other top corner you will see the word 'Family'. My Family is very important to me, they are my loved ones and my everything. The corner with the red flag is about my culture. I value my culture very much, the flag is the Samoa flag and the words above it say which island in Samoa I am from. I am from the Island of Upolu in Samoa. Obviously, I had to add in a flower to show that my culture is pretty and soft like a flower. Finally, the last corner is about how I admire Music. Music has always been apart of my life if its at school, at home or even at church you will see me singing,performing and listening to all types of music including foreign music! K-pop is my favourite genre as it helps me be more active with other languages. That is all I have to say about my Visual Mihi. I hope you enjoyed me explaining my 4 important things in my life. Have a great day!

Margaret Mahy

Walt: write about our group name.


Task Description
For this task we had to write facts about our Literacy group name which is based on a new Zealand author Margaret Mahy. Here is the presentation above, this is what we did.

This is me!

Talofa lava, Kia ora, Malo e lelei and greetings to you all. My name is Pisirina and I am in year seven at Pt England School. I am 11 years of age turning 12 later in the year. I was lucky enough to have Mrs Tele’a as my home room and Literacy/English teacher and Mrs Stone for Maths. My favourite subject at school is Maths because it is the subject I tend to have more fun in and have no confusion about the equations. My hobby is singing, playing netball and listening to music such as Pop songs, Rnb music and lastly K-pop! My goal for this year is to finish a book every three weeks or less and hopefully at the end of the year my reading level  progresses and I have read around 10 books. I’m looking forward to the trips at the end of the year and the overall results of my learning.
