A.I.M for success!

A + I = M, what does that mean? well I'll tell you what, one of the teachers from Auckland grammar school, Mr Patterson  came to talk about launching the future. So A.I.M mean of course aim, but I'm going to talk about the formula of success!  


A is for Aspiration, Aspiration is what make you wake up from bed. It's like waking up and visioning the day, what your going to do and what your going to became.

I is for Inspiration, take today for example, Mr Patterson showed us a video about the boy name Willie giving a homeless man lunch and money for two week. I was Inspired for Willie giving lunch and money is a blessing.

And last but not lease M is for Motivation. What Motivation? It's an idea or a goal for each and every person. Motivation is within but in other word, Intrinsic. Intrinsic is another word for within and the opposite is extrinsic.

Musical Madness, term 4 2017

Hey hey hey! It’s that time again and were back in 2017 term 4! Yes I know it’s last but we just have to suck it in and go right though. Today we had a Immersion assembly and the tiled is “Musical madness”.

I wonder how we're going to learn through music? well the answer was revealed today in our Assembly. Every teacher was dress up, The principal (Mr Burt) was dress and a funky looking as usual and funny wig and dress up filled the side of the hall. Every team had a focus and turn it into Entertainment.

Our focus was the almost the same as the others "How do composers use music to evoke an emotional response in an audience". All the other teams just said it easier for the little ones. The most entertaining one was our one of course, but I like the others one as well. Team 5 ( AKA: us) had a act, and there was a family and three teacher were the children and there was a mum and a dad.


The act was so funny, they were watching the lion king and there were watching the start how simba was rises. Soon after they watched the first part the music stared to change, to all kind. Scary, funny, even to the "let it go" song. I can tell this, Term 4 2017 will be the last, but the best!

So Stay tune for update cause we'er gonna save the best for last!

My final speech.

This is my new and final speech, this was from the last one a 28 of July. I added and delete some of my ideas and tips, So enjoy!

Why do students hate school?

Quick question, why do people hate school…do you? Of course, you do, but is school important or is it just a waste of time? And are we really learning anything? Well, let me tell you why our school is important to you.

School is like a ticket to life, a journey, a memory.But in the other hands, A number of students want to skip or even worse, drop out. But there’s alway a reason why there are bullies, it’s boring and even that sleeping habits well you know I do, but anyway there's still there’s a whole much more. Whatever it is, there is always a solution, there is alway a way to solve it.

A lot of kids are getting bullied, and that’s one of the reasons why students are skipping. We all heard of tips like stop, think and do, and use your W.I.T.S right? Well at this stage the little ones are simply forgetting and are fighting, being disrespectful to each other and to teachers. It’s our job is to remind them the pt England way.                      

Another thing is our education, We’re just students and we need this for every step in our lives. You skip school you won’t learn anything, in my opinion, that’s true like there might be a huge activity and you miss it. All I can say is why the school of is important and you have a whole future to prepare for.

School is changing our lives as we know it, we're learning every day at school. For example, from year 1, your ABC's, you're reading, even what 2 + 2 = (by the way it’s a fish). If you think your teacher is the toughest, wait until you get a boss. So enjoy being young and turn on your brain because of your need everything to get a job.

And this my friends  brings us to the end of my speech. So, skipping school what for? After all of this you’re know what to do when it come to school. Did you learn anything from my speech, if yes what was my main Idea and tips? If this help you learn in school then you're welcome, Amen.

Why do people hate school?

Why do people hate school? I’m one of those kids and I still come! but is it important... or is it just a waste of time? Do people like learning anything?  Well here are some reasons why kids hate school and why school is important.

School is like a ticket to life, a journey, a memory. You go to school to learn and have fun with friends, But some people are thinking about skipping school. The question is WHY? Is it because there’s too much drama or is it the classes you go to, whatever it is, there is always a solution, there is always a way to solve it.

Here are some reasons why people hate school and to solved the problem.  First: getting bullied. A lot of kid are getting bullied and that’s the reason kids are skipping. Here’s the plan  Use your W.I.T.S, that all there is and  if someone is making trouble use these and remember.  “W” is walk away from the person that’s making trouble, “I” is ignore the person.  “T” is to talk about it with the person or another student. Last but not least  “S” is to seek for help from an adult or a teacher.

Another one is: being to cool. Boys and girls are trying to be too cool and they think about skipping school is one of their plans. You can say their cool be it’s better to be intelligent. If you don’t go to school for one day, you have to have a note for the teacher, to explain the reason why you didn’t go school. If you skip school, first ask yourself, what for, Why do the wrong thing   When you got a life ahead of you and future to prepare for.

So... Did you learn anything from this writing? What was the main Idea? Does this help you learn in school, if it did then you're welcome and also remember to use your W.I.T.S!

Water, is it important?

Water, is it important?

Water, is it important? Well I’m going to tell why water is good for humans or where does water comes from. Nothing can live without water.

Water have been on earth longer than us humans have ever,70% of the world is covered in salt water and 30% is fresh, where does water come from? Easy form the water cycle and it’s starts with the sun. The sun bring heat to the sea and then there evaporation. What is  evaporation well the sea get’s so hot that the liquid turn into vapour.

Next after the liquid is turn into vapour the air huddle up and perform a cloud, this is called Condensation if there’s enough vapour in the cloud It’s start to rain and if it the cloud gets cold enough it turns into snow, sleet and hail. After it falls the rain hits the ground and perform rivers, lakes and streams and  joins the sea. This is called precipitation. Water can keep you hydrated and can clean you from the inside.

Keeping hydrated can help flush out toxins in your body that can build up and can make you feel tired. If you don’t drink water which is dehydration you can  have headaches, fatigue or constipation. Water can make you stronger, it maintains your muscles, if you're big and strong but if you dehydrated then your muscles are not working up to 100%.  All of this evaporation, Condensation and precipitation is repeated over and over again.

So what did you learn about? Thanks to me, you know the answer to the big question, yes!  You also know about the water cycle and why is it good for you, Your welcome!

May was the first one up, in fact she was always up early, again and again.  Jack was always late to get up in the morning, because he had been walking in the woods LATE at night. Mum was making fresh eggs and crispy bacon for breakfast, May had already brushed her teeth,eaten her breakfast and slipped outside, she found her favourite spot in the meadow and unfolded the picnic mat. She lay down to watch the clouds to see if they would make a bunny, she liked bunnies.    

The lad was no where done. Infact he was still the bathroom bushing his teeth but then he noticed something outside the window. It was not something it was … someone, it was a man. He was huge and had long hair, he was trolling around the woods then suddenly stopped and slowly turned around to the window. he could see his face but he was so scared that he rubbed his eyes and then look back out the window, there was nothing . Jack quickly brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, rushed out the door to see if May was alright. Just before Jack could step through the open doors, May rushed in screaming, into her room and covered herself with blankets. Jack found her and couldn't do anything about it but he could see how terrified May was. He looked outside and he could see the man he saw before, he was walking like a zombie, so he thought he probably was a zombie. Jack was froze in on the ground, but instead he looked at his face, his face, it looked like… his dad! It was his dad, he was hurt.

Jack rushed to him, to help his dad, he fell to the ground trying to crawl to the farm. “Dad what happened, was that you looking at the bathroom window?” Jack’s dad said “yes I was trying to hunt down a deer, just get me ice!” he said tiredly. Jack was frightened about his dad, usually his dad always stays calm even if a bad problem just got worse .

Boring school By: Christian.

WALT:summarise a week long experience into a recount.  

 Boring school.

It was boring, really boring, so boring that it won the boring competition 2015 . I  did not go to Kawau Island.

The day before camp was Monday . It Started on Tuesday and finished on Friday. That morning I was lying down in pain, It was serious pain, I had to go to the doctors and We went for hours but when we saw the doctor he said

“You  are not going to camp”, and that's when I almost cried.

I arrived at school on Tuesday late. Everyone was looking at me, even the teacher! I knew that year 6’s had gone to the you-know-what, I'm sorry I'm too sad to say it . I thought  that they were looking at me like I was missing something, or I was a dumb lad, but no it was because I didn't go to Kawau Island . I sat alone at an empty  table. Some people watched me sit down with a book in my hand that I got from my bag. We had to do Silent reading before we went onto our Chromebooks.

Wednesday it got better,I think, I'm not sure. The girls still looked at me from yesterday, the boys were trying to pull faces behind my back. Maybe they were crazy , but me …  I'm normal. I think. Wait! am I? I don't  know, now I'm confused. We had to do poems, and more poems and one forest  picture.  

Thursday was awesome, that's all except for one thing … I got some  paint  on  my clothes.  Now I looked like a painter but my mum said that I had to wear other clothes. The  big story is my  class  went to  the maker -space.  That  is where we make projects  and wooden toys and other kinds of stuff . I was painting a  wooden board but I got too close to the wooden board and boom I got paint all over.

Friday was like a day at Kawau Island(but with technology ). At  school it was noisy at assembly , everybody was talking and  talking and  talking over and over again. In the middle part of the school hours If got fun. We had to play Code combat and if we got up to level 10, we are allowed on free time. At the last part we got to play games outside on the  grass and the cool park.

Well staying at school isn't too bad as the kawau Island, but it school you know when you have camp then stay at  school beside it’s for my own good. Look out on my blog to see what’s NEXT!

please comment on my blog! (:
