TASK DESCRIPTION :

Good Afternoon everyone ! Today is the second day back at school and we did our Literacy work this morning block. As like yesterday we looked at a Poem called Leap, but today's task was a few slides on recapping our knowledge on Poetry. There were different kinds of poems that all had a different theme, but closely we had to figure our what the rhyming schemes were for each one. 
* For the last slide I had to create my own version of

Inferring - poetry

 WALT: Inferring-I use keywords to work out what the hidden meaning is


Task Description :
Today in our literacy class we had an introduction to poetry mainly around inferring the given text to us. The poem we read was Leap by Selina Powell. 3 things that I've learnt in today's lesson was ...
  1. In poems they use ' Stanza ' instead of paragraphs
  2. Poetry helps us paint a picture with the creative language it uses
  3. Jetty is a landing stage or small pier.
Almost forgot to mention we're back into school this week YAY ! Im finlly back with my friends and in Room 3 with Mrs Tele'a and Tsyon is also helping us. To those who may be nervous or still anxious on coming back to school, don't worry SCHOOL IS OKAY AND SAFE !

Why is school important....

 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 ?
