Pisirina's Ambassador Application video

Talofa lava and welcome to my ambassador application. My name is Pisirina and I am 10 yrs old. I am full samoan and I am very proud of my culture and my family too.

My family is supportive,loving and kind. They are always there for me and will always be. I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters, my younger brother attends Pt england School as well. I am very thankful for all the people in my life.

At school, I love to learn,create and share because it increases my learning to a higher standard. Math is my favourite subject because learning a new strategy helps me answer  difficult questions. During class, I am able to make my friends laugh and make a smile spread . I am eager to learn and discover more.

I have four extraordinary and unique best friends,that are important to me in my life.

I want to be an ambassador because I am confident toward others and I am a great leader when it comes to leadership. I know that I can use my key competencies when I am hyped or not focused and that I love interact with others by having conversations.

My teacher tells me that I am a kind and respectful person. Also that I am a person that has empathy towards others and that I can be a good friend to them too.

Reflection: Term 3 Paideia Seminar

On Tuesday we had our 3rd Paideia Seminar.

The Statement we had to think about was: ‘Is being civilised such a good thing?’ There are different meanings for the word civilisation. It is good to be civilised because if we weren't nice to each other there would be wars. What I think civilisation means is how advanced or how easy things are now than back then. If we weren’t civilised and there were no laws, first of all there would be lots of car crashes and wars because some people might not be loyal or kind towards others.

I thought  we did a great job at Piggybacking, sharing and including people in the Seminar.

My Goal was to speak about 3 times and I finally reached my Goal. What was different from this seminar from our 2nd one was that I opened my mouth more and last time I was really quiet. What I am going to work more on is to think more critically and share more information about the topic.

Pisirina Recount Writing: Stardome Trip

While sorting out groups, I was scared if I was with my friends or not. Mrs Buchanan called out my name and said “ Pisirina, Roshaan, Jedida, Marika,AJF, Jacob, Varnce and AJT are in Mr Eze’s group.

When we got there, I was so excited because it looked so fascinating inside. We marched politely inside the Stardome classroom. We met our instructor, his name is John. He talked with us about all of the facts of the planets in the solar system. A few facts I learnt in the room is that some nicknames for the planets are Rocky midgets(Earth, Mars, Mercury and Venus), Gas Giants (Saturn,Jupiter,Uranus and Neptune). Another thing I also learnt is  Venus is hotter than Mercury and Mercury is the second closest to the Sun.

After that we had a scavenger hunt about space. We had to look for answers around the Gallery area. There were three groups who came 1st equal. Mr Eze had two groups for the scavenger hunt and they both came 1st! The names of the two groups are The Galaxy / Mr Eze’s boys and The Stars A.K.A. me and the other girls.

Now we went over to the Planetarium and this is where all the magic begins. We looked up into this dome and watched this cool movie. We saw some zodiac signs and other things in the milky way.

The worst thing about the trip was going in the same bus which had no windows and the Air conditioner didn’t work! I literally thought that I was going to be a baked potato.  Another problem was I was all by myself because I had none of my besties with me and so I kept on singing Lonely to myself but it still didn’t change a single thing.

In the end of the day I really enjoyed what had just happened last Thursday and I was really excited to write about it.

WLJ Pure New Zealand Activity 2.

Hi, guys, it's me again (Pisi) and today I am going to be blogging about Pure New Zealand Activity 2.

Pure New Zealand. On the Site, it said that I had to watch a video and blog about it. On my blog, I had to write about one of my 5 favorite activities. Here is one of my top 5 favorite things to do in Auckland.

1. I love going to the Rainbow’s End theme park because there are many things to do there, my favorite game there is the Log Flume.

2. The Auckland Zoo is the best place to go if you are an animal lover like me or even eager to learn about new animals you’ve never heard about.

3. My favourite beach to go to is Mission Bay. I love swimming in the wavy ocean especially when it is summertime.

4. The Auckland War Memorial Museum is located in the Auckland Domain Park. I love going to this Museum because not only can we go with our family we even have school trips to this place and we get to learn more about our national culture(Maori).

5. My last favorite place I love going is to the Sky tower to see the rest of the City up high.
