Camp Highlights At Keswick.

Sesalina and me taking a photo with the sheep.

The Agradom was one of my favourite highlights. The reason why I liked the Agradom was because as the instructor was talking to us his helper let out sheep one by one on each sides. We saw at least 19 different sheep on the stage and at least 3 with horns. It was pretty awesome seeing all the sheep's going to there actual spot because there were stairs which they had to stand on. After that the instructor blew the whistle to get the 3 dogs attention they ran fast on to the stage while the instructor was opening this cupboard. While he was opening it we saw a massive cow walking on to the stage, the instructor picked a few people to hop on the stage and milk the cow. From our school Waata and Max went on the stage and tried to milk the cows, it was so funny because there was a little girl that got sprayed in the face with the milk from the cow.

Then he picked a couple of people to hold the bottles of milk from the cow and drink it, nah I was joking the man opened the door and all the baby lambs started running to the people who were holding the bottles and started feeding them. They were so cute. It was finished and we could go on the stage to see the sheep. I went to a sheep that looked like it had dreadlocks on it but with Justin Biebers style of hair. After that I went to a white sheep that had fur like a nice soft carpet, it felt so soft that I wanted to sleep on it. Next I took a photo with one that had horns in the shape of a spiral, there horns felt like big, rough dog bones. And that was the best highlight that I had at camp this year.

My Net book Reflection For 2013

What special thing have you learnt from your teacher this year?
The thing that I have learnt from my teacher this year was having a girl teacher because I haven't had one for ages, also because she has made me a better person during the years have gone by because she knows the things that has happened in my life and she helps me to keep going forward.

What significant thing have you learnt all by yourself?
I learnt that arguing with your friends doesn't change anything it just makes you stupid. I also learnt how to use blocks to solve my maths problems.

This year has been a really good year. I have learnt a lot of things to do with maths and how I can take numbers from numbers to make a bigger number. And in writing I learnt about different people like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King. I have had a really good experience here and hope the rest of the school will as well.

For me I think that Net books are really good to use because when we need help we can just type it up on our internet so called as 'Wairehe' to connect with it. I have had my Net book for 3 years now and I haven't really done that much damage to it, but I will still be having it because I am going to Tamaki College.

Farewell To P.t England School.

I would like to say a farewell to my school because this is my last week being at P.t England and then I'm off to college next year. I have been at P.t England for 8 long years and leaving P.t England is like leaving my family behind to move on to a better life. I am really going to miss P.t England and all the teachers who have been teaching me during my years.

I also want to say to the year 7 prefects for next year that you will keep P.t England still standing and the little kids happy and safe as we have done this year. I know that you prefects are going to be really good prefects and look after our school I wish you guys good luck for next year and have fun and remember the memories that us year 8s and the others before us have done for our school. Good Luck for next year and have fun.

Farewell P.t England and have an awesome year.

Love From Dante Bartlett.

Nelson Mandela Documentry

Nelson Mandela was a man who stopped racism for all the people around the world. The main points about Nelson is how he changed the world for everyone to make it a better place. He even had to spend 27 years in prison just because people believed in him that he could change everything. The white people knew that whatever Nelson planned to do they knew that a lot of people would believe in him so that's why they put him in prison.

Nelson's father died when he was a child and during his years without his father he became a ward of Jongintaba at the great place in Mqhekezweni. He was the first in his family to attend a school and it was while there that the young Rolihlahla was given the name Nelson.

Nelson Mandela was a civil rights leader in South Africa. He fought against apartheid, a system where non-white citizens were segregated from whites and did not have equal rights. He served a good portion of his life in prison for his protests, but became a symbol for his people. Later he would become president of South Africa.

Nelson Mandela died on Thursday at the age of 95. The former President of South Africa left an indelible mark on both his country and the world, becoming an international symbol of the fight against injustice and human rights abuses. He will be remembered in our hearts forever and ever because he was a man that not only cared about his family but also the whole entire world.

Thank You Variety Club

Love From Dante Bartlett And P.t England Primary and Intermediate School.

Narrative about the swimming pools.

Dipping my feet into the water there was a shiver with coldness going through my body. While I was getting in I was watching the rest of the children swimming around. We had an instructor talking to us about the different kinds of swimming moves, there were three types of swimming moves that we had to learn. One of them was the backstroke, I loved doing the backstroke because it was like I was floating through a pool of roses and it felt relaxing. The second move we did was the hand stands, the hand stands were a bit hard because there was a little space where we could do it. It was hard for me because I couldn't really balance myself under the water and I was a bit scared that maybe someone might hit me in the face. The third and last one was the freestyle. It was really easy because it was like doing backstroke but you head in the water and swim forward. And this is my narrative about the swimming pools.

Maths Problem - Question 3

Dante Sesalina Senolita Te Rina Life at Pt England

This is a little video clip that my friends and I made from when we were little. I hope you have fun watching our movie. Enjoy.

Halloween.

Halloween is celebrated on the 31st of October. It is mostly celebrated in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Right now Halloween is celebrated like this, you dress up into your favourite thing like a vampire then you grab a bag and go to peoples houses. 

Then you knock on peoples door around your neighbourhood and say trick-or-treat then they give you a treat and you move on to the next house. 

November 1 2011 People believed that some Halloween traditions have been from an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain which was  Christianised by Churches from a long time a go. 

All around the world children and Adults look forward to Halloween. Some children do Halloween just for the lollies. 

Japan has the lowest celebrated festival called Ghost day, they celebrate it by giving presents to the dead and worshipping them. Almost the whole world have been celebrating this amazing day.

Halloween are mostly celebrated by the saints who worship a man called Samhain. People say that samhain pull spirits out of people and use dark magic. Samhain is a very known man to the saints and west Christian.

Hexagonal Learning.

We have been doing hexagonal learning during the last 2 weeks. Zion Elizabteh and I have experienced heaps of things by arguing a lot to justify our learning. A lot of people in our class were arguing a lot to see where the hexagons will go and if its right or wrong.

My Son is Naughty Question

Jack and Ray were at the rugby. Ray’s team was winning
so Jack decided to give Ray a problem to deflate his ego a
bit. So Jack said “Did you know that today is my three
sons’ birthday?” “How old are they?” Ray asked taking
the bite. “I’ll give you a hint. The product of their ages is
36 and the sum of their ages is 13,” Jack replied. “That’s
no help,” said Ray. So Jack weakened and gave him
another clue. “O.K. My youngest son is very naughty.”
“Nothing to it,” exclaimed Ray and he told Jack the
correct ages of his sons.
How did Ray figure out the correct answer and what are
Jack’s sons’ ages?

The Rock Pool Question.

The Question: Some octopuses, some fish and a few

mermaids were happily frolicking in a rock

pool. Altogether there were 38 arms, 24 eyes

and 8 tails all swimming in the pool.

How many mermaids were there?

First we solved the eyes because all the creatures have eyes, 24 divided by 2 = 12, which means there are 12 creatures in  total. Then we did the tails. If 8 creatures have tails then 4 creatures don’t have tails. Now we know that they are octopuses.

Secondly, we solved the arms. Knowing that octopus have 8 arms and there are only 4, we times 8 with 4 and we get 32. Because we had more arms, we took away 32 from 38 and got 6. With the 6, we divided it by 2, and that means there are 3 mermaids.

Lastly we added up the octopus and mermaids and there were only 7 in total so we knew that there are 5 fish. So in total we have 3 mermaids, 5 fish and 4 octopuses.

Our ANSWER is = 3 MERMAIDS
Here is a photo of how we sorted it out on paper.

Pizza Problem Question.

The Pizza Place in my town has three

tables of the same size. The Chicken

N Chips restaurant has four of the

same sort of table.

The Chicken N Chips can just seat 24

people. How many people can The

Pizza Place seat?

Now a third of the seats at The Chicken N Chips were

empty and a half of the places at The Pizza Place were

empty. If 18 more people wanted to eat out, how many

would have to be turned away from the two restaurants?

Movie Making Reflection

Yellow Hat - The things I enjoyed

The things that I enjoyed this week in the creative strand was making the best movie with my best friends ever. And getting to hang around with them a lot. I also enjoyed being around with my classmates and having a lot of fun.

Black Hat - Which things didn't I like.

I didn't like it how we only had a little bit of time to finish off our movie but it was still cool. I also didn't like our song for our movie because it wasn't really about love but our one was about friendship so that should be ok.

Green Hat - What was something interesting about this week.

The interesting thing about this week is that in our movie we used Mr Liufau for it and it was fun filming with him. The other interesting thing that happened was that we got to use Mr Liufau’s car for our movie.

White Hat - What did I learn.

I learnt that love is not just boys liking girls and girls liking boys, it’s also about how friends love each other as well like sisters. I have also learnt how to do different kinds of shots in our movie.

Blue Hat - What can I do better next time.

I can use more people and do different kinds of shots next time and to make it more interesting to add our own costumes. And maybe we could use better things in our movie.

Our Storyboard - Oath

This is a storyboard that my friends have done during this week to help plan our movie that we are making.

Once Upon A Time Story Mix Up.

The sun was up and the sky was clear, Jack woke up and got changed. As he looked at his mother he knew she was getting very sick. So Jack went out for a stroll along the banks in the forest with his cow. He had to trade his cow to get some pennies from the farm. As he was walking along he saw a man named Mike wearing a long coat. Mike gave Jack three beans to swap for the cow. So Jack took it and went back home, to tell his mother the good news. But when he showed his mother she was very angry. At night time Jack planted the seeds and waited till the next morning.   

Jack woke up with a big stretch and a loud growl. He quickly jumped out of bed and ran outside like a little mouse. WOW! Jack said with a surprising face, the three beans now have been turned into a giant beanstalk that went straight through the top of the clouds in the sky. A while later Jack heard a big horn blowing and this only meant one thing, someone was missing. Jack hopped onto his horse and rode it all the way to the castle, he asked the king who’s missing your majesty” and he replied back “My Daughter”

Jack goes to rescue the kings daughter. Then Jack climbs the beanstalk and he could see trolls and a gigantic cloud with a large castle on it. Jack then sees big disgusting trolls, he sees a little door that is a secret entrance into the castle. So Jack sneaks into the castle and he sees a big giant foot right in front of his face. he looks up and and then sees a giant troll.

On the side of the castle he then sees the princess in a wooden cage where she can not free herself. Then he goes “shh shh”, she looks down and says “what are you doing here? go away!”, Jack replies “I'm here to rescue you”.

So Jane tells him where the key is to unlock the cage, but it is on a necklace that the troll is wearing. He is the king troll and his name is Toby. So Jack climbs the trolls clothes and finds the key. The troll was sleeping, when Jack tugs on his clothes the Troll wakes up and see’s Jack. But the troll thinks that Jack is an insect and just brushes him off. As Jack is brushed off he he grabs the key, unlocks the cage and free’s the princess.

But when they go out the door they bump into a shield and makes a big sound. Then the troll woke up and they were running, but suddenly the troll catches them and swallows them up. However they dodge his teeth and slide down his throat and land in his stomach.

There was a whole village living in his stomach.

The village asked “Who are you?”, The princess replied “I am princess Jane”

Then Jack asked “how do we get out of here” Then they replied “There’s no way out”

So They use the bones from people and animals that the troll has eaten and built a house.

Then Jack asked Jane if she wanted to marry him in a trolls stomach, Jane replied yes and they had their wedding in the trolls stomach. Then they had a party in the trolls heart and had a disco.

Jack and Jane lived happily ever after in the trolls disgusting body.
