Yesterday was the first day of term 4 .I had to watch the assembly on my chrome book because Auckland New zealand , is still in level 3 lockdown .Every term we always have a different theme and topic .This term is term 4 the blast term isn't that gone fast , well the theme for this term is Ta Tatou korero , Ta tatou whirigna , which translates in english to our voice our choice.Every team leader and teachers either make a film or act out a play but since we are in lockdown we have to do it online .We start from the youngest team which is team 1 the year 1’s and 2 .
Team items
Starting off with Team 1 , they are going to be investigating what group they belong to and they are going to find ways on how they can be awesome members of that group.They are going to be kind to each other and fill others buckets of others including them.You can fill your bucket with happiness and other emotions.It's time for team 2 !

Drumroll please for team 4 !, This term team 4 will be learning about their identity and where they belong in a group also what they need to do in that grouplike a family.You can belong in a family by being a sister,brother,cousin,aunty,uncle,and many more.Team 4 is trying to find out who are they and where do they belong.Now it’s time for the best team of them all Team 5 !! This term team five will be learning about not believing everything that is on social media and that they need to check if they are actually true.Also that Ta Tatou korero ta tatou kowhiringa is what team 5 teachers are letting us decide more often.
So this term is going to be a lot of fun. I cant wait and I love the theme, our voice, our choice thank you point English teachers and staff.
Yesterday on the 25th of November the year 7 of pt england school had went on a trip to Rainbow ends.Rainbow ends is a theme park with lots of super rides.In the morning all of the year 7’s had to share their bag with another person and then it was time to have a meeting of what behavior that we would need to have when we are at rainbow ends and what they expected.
Two of my favourite rides that I had went on was probably the spectator and the power surge because it would tip you upside down and spin you all around like you were in a fan that was on the maximum of the fan.The spectator was so much fun (but not when we had to wait in the long line) but then when me and my 4 friends had hopped on to the ride it had started raining sadly ,finally we were strapped into the seats the platform had gone all the way down and we went side-to side and then we had turned upside down instead of me screaming I was laughing.My Friend tonga was telling me to wiggle my face around and then when I nearly slipped out of the seat but i was holding on tight and i wasn't even that scared.
My favourite thing apart from the rides was that I got lots of food, some hot chips,a drink. I also got a big fat ice cream that tasted like rainbow and that was the name of the ice cream.I had brought 2 drinks one for me and my best friend Leah.The food their was so so expensive like for a medium size lolly bag was$ 4.50 and the drinks where $5.50.The huge ice cream was $5.50 and I was like am I spending all of my money the total of the food was $15.50.I gave two dollars to Leah because she had only brang $10 and spent $6 on cotton candy.Lorenzo was short on money to buy him a drink so I gave him 1 dollar.Ms Moala was so kind and generous that she had brought the kids in her group all an ice cream
On Monday the 12th of October it was the first day back of term 4 we had an immersion assembly.A immersion assembly is when we get told what the theme is for the term e.g Something in the water,and more.
So when all of pt england had all gotten all settled down, Mr Burt proudly had said ‘’We’re Back In The House ‘’ you must be asking yourself why is he saying that? Well the reason he said that is because it has been a long time since covid that we all could be gathered all together since it is level 1.So first Ms Nua, Mr Somerville, and Mr Jacobson had gotten up on stage with some paint in their hands and then they had been painting all of the children were very curious of what they were painting. And We finally had found out what the theme was: it was drumroll Please ART ALIVE!!
After all of that painting that the teachers had done
Team 1: had introduced what they were learning about and they first tried to create some of the famous paintings such as The Monalisa, unibrow lady and such more, well that's what they are doing and going to be learning about. After Team 1 it was Team 2 to present what they are learning about/doing for art!.
Team 2: is doing art with shapes and different types of colours such as dark colours and bright colours. They’re also doing art on their i-pads, Mrs Gaston was colouring and drawing one of the teachers with dark and bright colours e.g The bright colour was representing like a happy vibe, with the dark colour it was representing like a negative vibe.
Team 3: is painting walls and also painting on sheets to create a their own painting using dyes and different colours of paints and mixing the different colours to see what they make e.g red and blue makes purple
Team 4: They forgot to do their show/video to show to the whole school but luckily Mr goodwin had recorded their google meets so this Term they are learning more about maori patterns and the story behind them.
Team 5: We had done a show that Ms Moala had her first day at her work and she had to hide the people through the museum.So Team 5 is learning about all of the famous artists.
Today is the first day of term 4 and the theme for the term is Art alive and this afternoon we learnt about Edvard munch and what he used to do for a living.For this task we just had to make a profile about Edvard munch.
