My Netbook....

Net books, little laptops that we use for learning around the Tamaki cluster. It is Important that we take care of these laptops because you’ll need them for work and when you break it, you’ll have to pay. With a Built In webcam, speaker, and mouse it is very fragile and a little bit of my may break it. I've had my net book for 4 years and I've had many things break on my net book. WE started getting net books ever since 2009 when a very kind man named “Nevin” who Donated a quarter of a million dollars to help us learn better and faster. Well we use Google to write about things that happen at our school like how William came to the P.e.s to give 100 thousand dollars, and post it in Blogger to share around the world.

What Empathy Means..

Empathy, its an emotion that is felt by other people around you who are experiencing the same feeling as you. For example, if your Mum went to Tonga, then you would be very sad, your brother feels the same way as you. Or, if someone had passed away everyone who went to the funeral would feel the same as you, you get it?

If you still dont get it I’ll do another example. If you got a rugby injury it will really sting and start to bruise, other people who have experienced it with feel your pain, it will will make you cry or even if you got hit harder you could have been in the hospital.

Its like an ability to understand other people, seeing through other peoples eyes, and putting yourself into their shoes. Its about you caring for others and others caring for you, looking out for one another and understanding what people around you are going through.

My Holiday Highlights:)

My favourite highlights from my holidays were,  Christmas, going to my Nans house and driving down to Pukekohe. During my holidays, we drove to Pukekohe for my older brothers interview, for Wesley College. We waited an hour for his interview, and when he came back I was shocked that he got accepted.

5 days After school had finished, Christmas would be here so I was very excited. I talked to my brother and asked him what he’d think he would be getting, he said I would get some boots and a phone at least. My cousins, Paula & aki, always come from Hamilton for special occasions. The last day finally came and I stayed up until 12:00am. The morning came and everyone ran to the lounge and sat down, we got presents but my favourite was my new Android phone..

Weeks later we got him prepared for school, and bought his uniform, stationary and shoes. The whole family was their to say good bye. Lastly we finished the day off with a good Tongan Prey. On the last two weeks of my holidays, I went to go spend time with my dad’s side of the family and went church, and sang all day long.

Sadly my holidays were coming to an end, and I was really looking forward to school. We bought new uniform and sandals. I was really happy and excited, on the last day of my holidays it was awesome, because we went to the mall and went shopping, then I got home and slept at 8:30…

Last Day of School...

The last day of school for 2013 was a day to remember, As teachers and kids were leaving our school. Our teachers from our school that left got flowers and got a movie. The saddest Farewell on Thursday was Whaia Raywen. As she tought our school Te Reo Maori and Hakas, for Productions and more. Lorenz, Was one of her favourite Students way back. He done a haka with three Yr8's to the teachers who were leaving, and it was a very emotional day. As the day came to an end the Yr8's after school had tears running down their faces, as it was their last day at P.E.S. After Everyone Had planned to go to swimarama at pamure, we all walked by foot and all swam. The End:)

2013 Highlights

It was awesome being in Room 22, competing in sports, and all the friends I made. I liked being in the street because we had rotation which was literary or art and I liked art. I liked playing touch with my friends. I liked the people in my class but a little bit people had to go other schools. It was my first time experiencing Being in Intermediate which was great. I love sports but mostly I love rugby because we always played on saturdays for Marist, This was one of my big highlights.

Another thing I liked was my Reading as I improved and went up 2 and a half years. I also have gone up in my Maths, I know all of my Yr7 Strategy's. Im not so good on my writing so thats the thing I need to work on next year. I hope that report card is alright, so I don't get a growl from my mum. Its all so my brothers last year and he said he can't wait to leave P.E.S and leave to College.

Another good highlight is going to action world when the Yr8’s went to camp. So the things I need to work on next year is my behaviour and my writing and my Yr8 Strategies. I also have to think about what I say and keep my hands to myself because I’ve been on A Lot of detentions,and another goal is to have less detentions next year. Its been great so far in room twenty two, but its sad how the Yr8’s are leaving.

Highlights From action world.

On Friday the 6th of December, the Yr7's went to action world, Because the Yr8's went to Rotorua for camp. My favourite highlight has got to be the Tram-peez, Because it was very high and I was scared. We have to walk up a big ladder, Walk on the ledges and grab the bar, We had to lean back to go farer in the air. I jumped and Swung to times, Then We had to jump off at the time the instructor says. Another good Activity was the Jousting Bridge, Because its one where you have to people Versing and they have Bud things, So the aim is to win and throw them off, You can play Unarmed or Armed. And lastly my favourite other  thing was on the bus, we were all driving and singing.
