Tiktok Tipene ( Friday's Electives )
Heyy everyone and welcome back to my blog ! Today we had our Elective's meeting which we have every Fridays, since Miss Hill wasn't here for Drama Divas I decided to go to Tiktok Tipene with Ms Tipene. In Tiktok Tipene we do dancing to tiktok songs that Ms Tipene chooses and then she picks one of us to be the leader and teaches the whole class the tiktok dance, today she chose Oalli. The tiktok song Ms Tipene chose was 'Back to normal', this was a fun tiktok dance to learn but luckily I already knew some of the dance. Today's Elective was really fun and we all had laughs, big THANK YOU to Ms Tipene for the meet, Oalli for teaching us the dance and also everyone that joined the meet. Can't wait to do it in person next week !!

Tech/Graphivs w Ms Ferguson
Heyy everyone ! Today is Tuesday which means Year 8's have our google meet with our tech teachers from Tamaki. I have Graphics with Ms Ferguson and our lesson today was really fun and creative. Ms Ferguson gave us a little art/drawing lesson about drawing Oblique shapes ( 3D shapes ) , we practised drawing cubes, 3D triangles and even letters of our name. Secondly we practised shading in our 3D shapes, this was reaaly fun. I challenged myself by doing shading in pencil as well as pen, which was quite challenging. Lastly Ms Ferguson taught us how to draw block letters in little boxes using the whole Alphabet, so creative ! I learnt so much new things which was a bonus, Thank you Ms Ferguson for the amazing lesson !

Why school is an important facility in our community
During this covid pandemic, lockdown has really made me realise how much I really miss school. I miss my friends, my space, teachers, sports tournaments and engaging learning that keeps me more motivated at school then at home. So I sit and think of ideas why Pt England School is important to me and the people within my community.
School is an important place for us to go to and learn. It has rooms and people focused on learning. At home it has been challenging to focus and complete learning because it is crowded and noisy. At times it is very distracting. School however has rooms, equipment and people to help focus us on our learning. We have purpose built classrooms and facilities for us to learn in.
School is also a key place to be prepared for college and our futures. Here at pt england we learn the aspects and skills that are required for college. We do this by going to Tamaki College which is a nearby school and we take classes every tuesdays and thursdays that involve older subjects. Not only does this give us opportunities to think and work like college students but gives us a slight feel of what college is like.
School is also important for our social development. I know for a fact that having to be in lockdown for a few weeks is definity making us miss our friends and classmates. Lucky for school we get to be around our friends and have time to socialise with other people. This strengths our bonds with our classmates. For example, we learn how to be public within our community by going to special events that involve being with different people such as Manaiakalani Film Festival, Tournaments and much more.
So there you have it , 3 reasons why Pt England School is an important facility in our community. It is an important place for students to learn, a key place to prepare for college and our upcoming future and last but not least to improve our social skills which is really important in life. How do you think your school is important and why ?

What makes the best pet to have ? Dogs ( Yay ) or Cats ( Eh ).
To the people that believe cats are better, you are mistakenly wrong. Lucky for you thats why I am here, to tell you why dogs are the best choice to choose. Without a doubt dogs are better than cats as they make a better pet, here’s why …..
Reason No.1 , Dogs are loyal companions. You may think that this is hard to believe but dogs are actually loyal to their owners. They are known to stick with you to the end. They’ll stay with you forever as you are known to them as your leader. To scientists knowledge as dogs grow and build up, they become more familiar with its owner which strengthens a great and strong bond between you and your dog that’ll last a lifetime.
Reason No.2 , Dogs make everyone’s life happy. What’s life without dogs that are certain to make you day better ? Picture this, you lying lonely on the couch, eating your chip crumbs that have been falling out of you mouth, boring right ! Well lets bring a dog into the picture, a fluffy, happy, fur of joy jumping around. You start laughing and the dogs starts making your day. As you can see this is how dogs can make everyone's day.
He chose the characters to be his own sons which is neat! He thinks that most books now aren’t about Pasifika Culture and so he wants to show what it's really like for some of us. He had this incredible idea to add in his own family and friends to the story. Some in the names, labels on t-shirts, signs on buildings etc. He also shared what his point of view about what ‘ REPRESENTING ‘ is.

Title : Leadership !
How can I become a better leader ? First is knowing what a leader is, leadership is an important role in life and school. A leader steps up, and take that role of leadership. So now you know what a leader is, what are the key points to become one ?
Confident leader . Having the courage to talk in front of a big crowd or an audience is key on being confident. You can also be confident by, leading the right way with clear instructions.
Listening and including others . What’s a leader that doesn't listen or include other peer’s ideas. While people are sharing their ideas, a Leader must listen. They must include others, and make sure everyone has a point of view.
A patient leader. Keeping your levels down and taking it easy on others is key. Waiting while others may take time to adjust, and by keeping your temper cool if people don't do the right thing. You can be patient by, just waiting while other people catch up.
My Speech Scores !
So now you know, the few key points on becoming a leader. It takes confidence, patience, listening and including skills.
Thats all it takes to become a great leader.
Friday Rugby Game !
Last week on Friday, the Intermediate girls from Yr 7 & 8 played a friendly game against Royal Oak Intermediate. It was a really fun and a great practise to play rugby before Auckland Champs this Wednesday. Here is how it when….
Friday morning, bright and early I got up. Brushed my teeth, did my hair and changed into my shool uniform. The night before I organised my rugby equipment like my mouthguard, rugby boots and black shorts. 8:15 I started walking to school, with a happy and excited smile across my face knowing that I get to finally play Rugby again.
At school we just finished our whole school assembly and we had FIOP ( Finish it off properly ) work to do. Before I knew it, it was already Morning Tea time. Once Morning Tea playtime has finished, our team coach Ms Timmi can and got us to change into our rugby shirts, once we were all in the breezeway and dressed up we split into two buses which were from Tamaki College and departed to our game in Royal Oak Intermediate.
Now we were really here, a student from Royal Oak guided us to where the Changing rooms are so we can put our boots on. Not long after that we ran outside to where the fields were and started warming up, 30 minutes later and kickoff as started. Here we go..
We were loosing in the first half, the girls in Royal Oak Inter kept getting back to back tries and we were slowly using hope. Once 1st half finished and we had a 5 minute break before 2nd half started. We were all exhausted and tired but Ms Timmi told us to ‘Keep going, and to never give up !’
Kate Shepppard
Intro:1st Paragraph:
Kate Sheppard protested for a reason, she did it because she believed that women should be allowed to play a full role in society. During Kate Sheppard’s time women were not allowed to vote and their rules were very restricted. Some rules that were hold against the women was that they couldn't sell their land/property, need consent from her father or husband to open a bank account and couldn't vote. She fought and fought until she saw the equal treatment the people give to men as well as the women.
2nd Paragraph:
Before the petition, Kate Sheppard did many other things to help with her up-coming women’s rights protest. She travelled throughout New Zealand, holding public meetings and building support for the cause.Kate Sheppard was a great organizer and she began collecting signatures for the petition that was going to be presented at the New Zealand Parliament. Unfortunately the first petition failed in 1891 but this never stop Kate, she got back up, started again and collected more signatures.
3rd Paragraph:
On 1893 on her third try was her third petition. Kate Sheppard convinced a total of 32,000 people. This final petition was very successful which means that women were finally allowed to vote. Without any of these happening NZ women would have never voted at the beginning. Now New Zealand is the first place that women were first to vote.
Conclusion:
In conclusion Kate sheppard has made history for women in New Zealand.
Without the hard work Kate Sheppard did during the petition women would
never have been treated equally. Now women are finally allowed to vote
and do stuff men do. “We are tired of having a ‘sphere’ doled out to us, and
of being told that anything outside that sphere is ‘unwomanly’.”
- Kater Sheppard.
Live Wednesday, 9th June 10:00 pm sharp was kickoff for the first match for
‘ State of Origin 2021 ‘ which was held in Townsville Stadium . The stadium was packed with crowds of Qld supporters cheering for their team, on the other side of the stadium was also packed with Nsw supporters roaring with cheers . This is what everyone has been
waiting for,
3, 2, 1 ( whistle blows ) kickoff has started !
The 2021 State of Origin series is the 40th annual best-of-three series between the Queensland and New South Wales rugby league teams . Before this series, Queensland has taken the cup and won 22 times, and New South Wales has won 15 times . Last year the mighty maroons took on the win so lets hope they do it again .
Yesterday in the 1st match of Origin 2021, NSW won the first match 50 - 6 . In my opinion I really liked the lineout for Nsw, they had some amazing players that were from my favourite team Panthers , although I go for the MIGHTY MAROONS ! The captain for Qld is Daly Cherry-Evans and captain for Nsw is Boyd Cordner. Man of the match for each team was Daly Cherry-Evans ( QLD ) and Tom Trobejevic ( NSW ) .
Overall I think all teams did well, even though Nsw won the first match I’m confident that Qld can have a come-back. Nsw get ready for the next match cause THE MIGHTY MAROONS are coming for ya ! (cough, cough we’re gnr win)
What team are you supporting this year ?
The Mighty Maroons or the Blitzing Blues !
