Last week we had Athletics.The whole school had came Together and met on the Hard court, when the rest of Team 5 had sat down, it was handed Ms Vaafusuaga, After Ms Finished talking Mr Burt let us go to our first Rotation. For the year 7 Girls The First Rotation we went to was Long throw,or long ball, For long ball you have to throw the baseball a Distance.

You would throw the ball and then it's the next person's turn. Long ball was fun even though some of us tried our best - some just mostly failed. After we finished Long ball,Next the year 7 girls went to Dodge ball. For Dodge ball was kinda fun because we would have to vs like the Green Team,Yellow Team, Blue Team and the Red Team.

Orchestral Instruments

This Term we have been learning about Music.because this theme for this Term is Musical madness, so the whole school has been learning about what music is and how you can make your own music. but for Team 5 we have to do a presentation about What are Orchestral Instruments. so we would have to research and write up what it is and what instruments are there. The orchestral instruments I liked is the Strings. I like the String's because they'll be kind of easy to do it, but I would have to practice a lot to learn the Violins.

Guest Speaker - In Team 5

This Morning at 9:25,All of Team 5 had to meet in the street because there was a guest coming to talk to us about something,Then When Mr Patterson came to talk to us about what are we launching in our future, we knew what he was going to talk to us about. First we talked about What is our Aim for success, There were three letters A + I = M, it had taken quite time for all of us to figure it out, then some kids put up their hands The A stands for Aspiration. Aspiration means when your parents or your alarm wake's you up in the morning, Your just thinking about how is your day going to turn out, either is it going to be a great day for you or another boring day for you as always.

And Then I Stands for Inspiration, Inspiration is for when some one that inspire's you in something, some one that tells you to go for your Dream, To whatever your dream is, just go for it and never give up on that Dream. After some kids solved what inspiration means, it was on it the next letter. The Last one was M, M also stands for Motivation, It means when some one motivate's you, It was onto the next slide it said Aim for success! Aiming for success means Aiming for your future and upcoming things like going to college. because he came here to talk to the year 8's and the year 7's to. but he came to talk to the year 8's about college because it's their last year here in Team 5.

Be a Giver not a Taker. because if you be a giver then you are doing the right thing to the person your giving to. if you take from some one that means your not doing the right thing and your just Taking something that isn't the right thing to do. Because Mr Patterson was saying to us that he just came back from Australia and he got here and he said that his flight just got cancelled, and he said he had been waiting in line. There were about 100 people waiting in line, he said he saw a young couple and their 3 children that was under 5.because they were at the end if the line. so he went up to them and told them if they wanted to come to the front of the line. so they did go up to the front of the line, so he didn't Take, He gave him his spot were he was standing.

Experience about Maniakalani Film festival movie

What I enjoyed doing filming in the film festival movie, well while we we like recording every body was just so excited,what I enjoyed was when it was my turn to film we had keep going back and forward to other place's because every where we went the clouds would keep on blocking the sun from my teacher trying to film me. But I really like enjoyed filming and it was fun, but when the water balloon went on my head and I had popped it my hair just got so wet, but yeah It was fun!

what did I find challenging... well what I found challenging was that my teacher had to pop two balloons on my head. and the water was so cold and we kept had to film then not film and it was so difficult. that how challenging that was for me.

what I'd do better at next time. well I hope next time that the clouds just don't keep blocking the sun so we don't have to keep going every where else and I hope I do much much better next time we film a movie like that.

Any idea's I had for the Next film I am in - if we do another film festival movie for next year. all I hope for is that I hope I come up with some better Idea's.

Making pizza's at Tech

well first we had to plan what we were going to do. plus,everybody in our class had to pick which part were they were going to do, then a week later our home teacher Mr wisemen started filming kids from that where like going mouse trap with a glass bottle. blowing bubble gum,throwing water balloons at their face/Stomach.

Then on Friday/Today we went outside on the field to film some more because some of us didn't want to do it because it was so so freezing!!! then some boys wanted to do the balloon on the face and the stomach. it was funny because when Mr wisemen threw the balloon at one of the boys in my home class,the balloon didn't even pop but it like made his face wobble a bit. After the boys had a go with the water balloon,one girl - Lotu wanted to do water balloon on her face, it went well,but one thing was when the water went everywhere.

Final Speech - Friday

On Friday at 12.00 we had to go quickly into the Street. we had to sit in our home room,Kids from the other seniors had to stand and say their speech in front of the whole Team 5. three kids from each literacy got chose to do their speech. The first one up was Amelia,when she came up it looked like she was so nervous. but she stood there with confidence and she said her speech, her speech was about her nana, she said that a few years ago when she was at her old school,her nana was working,her job was cleaning, and it was a sad and a happy speech and I liked it. 

But my Favourite speech was when Roimata said her speech about the legend about the cook island's! her Speech was my favourite because how she was warning us about the cook island's and how she said that there was a story about a girl and this man was in love and then they got married,but then people heard them arguing about something,then she had died.because she either got poison. then she was also telling us that at night you could hear a woman and a baby crying, running down a mountain. Then we all clapped!

Skylar and Kenzie - Under cover Ghost - Part 2

Then After I had said bye to Luis I new that he liked me,but I wasn’t supposed to be worrying Romance now because we had a problem’’. We still had a problem and still didn’t get why my phone was under the Furniture couch.

We quickly got to practice when the manager saw she said ‘You’re Late’’Again, sorry Rina,we woke up late and we forgot all about practice because we thought it was on Tuesday not Sunday. Girls we only have 10 more days until the finals. But if you want to be late again then you can kiss you’re championships final goodbye. But, but, I was speechless,going to the championships was my dream,and if I don’t go to the championships then I can’t graduate from high school.

Hey Kenzie,said skylar, yeah I said,have you seen the new update from Iris’s page,she inviting us to her Halloween party at her house. Wow I thought in my head, I’ve never been to an actual party before,well said Skylar we better get ready in an hour cause the party starts at 7.00. And we don’t want to miss out.

Practice was nearly over and I couldn’t wait to go to the party. Hey skylar, what are we gonna wear to the party, mmmm, we better go shopping then. If we want to go go go. Our practice was over, me and skylar hopped in the car and went straight to the shopping mall, when we walked into the mall I was shocked! With all the costumes so me and skylar first tried on some of the costumes then while skylar was trying some costumes on I wanted to go and look for me a outfit, then I saw this bride skeleton costume that had this bright white on it,then when skylar came out,I was holding the outfit,she was cool costume you found.

Which section did you find it,well I just saw it hanging up there we're there we're the rest of the costumes. Well you’ll look cool in that she said, Thanks. Well we better get ready. So me and skylar went back to my house to get ready,well we we're at my house we started to do our hair and makeup.

At my house we got change and we did our hair and makeup. after we got ready we both took a photo then we left the house. Hey kenz, yeah,we're are you’re parents, oh there at a university for someone, but they're not gonna be back until Friday. Hey kenz shouldn’t we be going cause it’s going to 7.00 and we better get going.

Hey there’s Iris’s house, I drove onto the side of the footpath, then me and skylar went in, Hey kenz, yeah, is every one here from school. Yep, wait wait even Luis I think so, I don't know if he's here but you know he's friends with my brother. Foreal yeah. their like been friends since they were little, and yeah. so if my brother's here then he's here.

When I had heard that Luis was skylar brother even better. I went to go and grab a drink because I was thirsty. when sky was calling for me she said it was urgent, she said when I went to go find Julie,Julie was her sister, and she was the second oldest of them and she loved her sister Julie and she had to look after her while their parents were away.

 but when she said it was urgent, she had said that she couldn't find her sister and she had wondered off somewhere with someone? 

But who,I said,I have no Idea,well we better find her said skylar,Ok but first can we first find Lucis he texted me earlier that he would meet me here at the party. Kenzie,we have to find Julie,sky,was panicking. she was gonna lose it if we didn't find her.

Suddenly we heard scary sounds coming from upstairs, um Kenz, can u hear that noise,um sky we better leave now,cause I have a feeling that something bad is going to happend. oooooooooo, something was in the room, the door slammed so hard that we had goose bumps. me and skylar didn't think that we were going to make out alive,we both think we were going to Die!

it was a ghost that was in the room and we could both see it,it had said to us, I have come to haunt you both. because I have unfinished business to do. the ghost had looked so familiar,it had seem that I'd seen it before,but when it had said that it had come back to do unfinished business, then it must of came back to kill some people.

the ghost was a teen age girl that was so pretty,but why would anyone kill an teen age girl, me and sky were meritorious,we had to figure out why she had come back. when we went down stairs we saw Julie,Skylar ran quickly to her to see if she was alright,also where she was. Julie sky said were where you,me and Kenzie were looking for you,oh I was with my friends at the back were the pool was,we checked at the pool if you were there. well then you's weren't looking properly for me.

you know what when you're with your friends I want you to stay close to me Ok,Julie. That was just weird that her sister wasn't by the pool,then we came back from up stairs she was at the pool.
