Merry Christmas Everyone

Report Reflection

This year I have had a great report and a not so great report. In the middle of the year my attendance was poor. Lucky that my reading, writing and maths was high. For reading I got half above and half at, writing I got above and for maths I got above too. At the end of the year my report was still bad because of my attendance but my reading writing and maths jumped higher. My reading jumped up and I got well above for that. For writing I was marked just well above and maths I was graded well above too.

Next year I hope to improve my attendance by keeping myself healthy and going to school everyday. For my three foundation subjects I would just want to keep my marks going higher continuously.

Early Christmas Party

Last week Saturday my family and I had an early Christmas party. It was at my uncle Jon's house. The reason why we had our Christmas early is because part of my family are going to Niue for my grandad's family reunion and my Nana wanted us to celebrate this occasion together.

After my mum and I had arrived (last guests) my Nana prayed for our food. There was a wide variety of food to choose from. I ate chicken nibbles, this big piece of juicy steak and cup of red sparkling grape juice. "MMMM."It was to delicious, my tummy was full so that I couldn't eat all of my food.q

Soon after everybody had finished eating we started to hand out presents. I scratched my head thinking what I was going to get. I was Santa Claus and I had a helper named Hector. He took all the presents to the people I named. When all the presents were open, I opened mine. GUESS WHAT I GOT?, I got my very own mobile phone. WOOHOO!

After everybody received their presents, my uncle turned on the hose and started squirting everyone. At first, I got a fright but then I started going crazy. Everybody was wet except for my cousin James. One of my other cousins named Jordan tried to push him toward the water. He failed but on his second attempt my uncle's and I helped him. By the time we got him to the hose I realised it took eight people to drag him toward it.

When we finished having a water fight, each household did items. My mum, Nana, cousins and I sang a Niuean song and did the takalo (Niuean haka). My cousin Juliana did a dance to the song Beyonce-Single Ladies and my other cousin Elijah did his haka. Also David did the Azonto with his dad Hayden. The items were absolutely hilarious. Everybody was cheering and laughing especially for my cousin Elijah.

Christmas with my family was awesome because I loved all the items, food, water fight and most of all hanging out with my family. Can't wait for next year's Christmas party!

The Last Days Of School...

On the last days of school my class have been finishing off work and returning library books. It was my birthday yesterday but I didn't go school because I was in town celebrating it. Usually I bring a cake to school so I did.

The year 7 & 8's are moving tables and chairs from classrooms to this temporary classroom. I wonder if they move our tables and chairs because our teacher, Mr. Marks, said they might build our class rooms first.

My Netbook Reflection

How has having a netbook connected to the internet helped my learning this year? Having a netbook and being connected to the internet helps me because I can do things faster. For example this year I have published way more stories than last year when I didn't have a netbook. I have also learnt different things like google chat (my favorite), google spreadsheets and many more.

• What special thing have you learnt from your teacher this year? How to make a google presentation. How to access my year 6 site to find work I need to do. How to make lots of different digital learning objects.

• What significant thing have you learnt all by yourself - maybe online? How to research pictures in google docs and define words in google docs. How to create a Mac Donalds on minecraft.

• What have you learnt from your friend this year? How to share docs and presentations with them.

• What have you learnt from someone outside of your classroom this year (not teacher or classmate) How to inference

• How have you helped other kids learn this year? Edit their writing so they can see what they have to work on.

• How have you grown your key competencies through using digital tools this year? Working with classmates, managing my time wisely and listen to my partners ideas.

Why I Want To Be An Ambassador?

Why I would like to be an Ambassador?

I would like to be an Ambassador because you get an opportunity to talk to intelligent people. I like talking in front of people. I'm not shy either.

Why I think I would be great for the job?

I have a big voice, not shy, speak clearly, responsible, I have confidences, work hard and I can stand up and talk in a crowd of people. Also I blog a lot and I would really like to be an Ambassador. Here is one of my blogs it is a piece of writing which two of my buddys and I completed the rubric. It helps me to improve on those things that I got low marked on. http://pesstevensone.blogspot.co.nz/2013/10/ohh-no-pilots-have-passed-out.html
