Special Assembly ツ

This Monday morning we had a special assembly. The year 4's were awarded special prizes for having a great attitude towards learning.

They have received a 40 dollar deposit towards they're chromebooks for next year 2019. The overall winner was Aleki. Mrs Samuel-Latu has given him a new uniform, 40 dollar deposit for his chromebook and a box of favourites.

Joy, Solomene, Pita and Aleki were acknowledged for their dedication and hard work towards learning.

Mrs Samuel-Latu and her sisters have been coming for the past 8 years to present these awards. Sadly this is the last time we will be having this type of assembly for our year 4's.

I hope the winners will continue their hard work and dedication in the future.

Swimming At Otahuhu Pools 🌊

This weekend me and my friends went to the pools in Otahuhu, because it was really hot.We all got changed into our togs that felt really damp, which made me feel colder. I jumped in the pool and I felt a nice relief of water, till my friends splashed me...

That was a beginning of a water fight, or should I call it water war! My friends splitted into teams and started splashing water like we were Goku. If I was gonna get splashed again I would've went ballistic on them.(Tbh)

Sadly our water war had to come to an end, the pools were closing. We got changed and walked out the pools dramatically, hoping to come back again.

LAST DAY COOKING AT TECH !!! 😢

Wednesday was our last day cooking with Mrs Tuipulotu. Our tech group made sausages with cheese and chips, my partner was Liza. She's an amazing cook!

Step 1 - The first thing we had to do was slice the 4 sausages in half.

Step 2 - After that we put cheese and tomatoes on the sliced sausages. If it wasn't enough we had to top up the cheese and tomatoes.

Step 3 - Bake for ten minutes with the chips in the oven as well.

Step 4 - Serve with tomato sauce and enjoy.

The Duffy Show

Duffy Show!!!

The Duffy Show came to our school on Tuesday, after the long weekends. They had a show for our school in the multi purpose room. Firstly the show was really amazing! They were teaching us how to sing the duffy song in New Zealand Sign Language, Which was a learning experience.

The show was about how people take bullying as a joke. Duffy meets a girl named Ashley crying in the bathroom. Duffy asks Ashley why she was crying, Ashley says she's hungry and continues to sob. Duffy asks what happened to her lunch, and she explains about the bully.

She said that it all started when her grandma died, She started worrying about her dad dying or her mum. She started having nightmares and couldn't get any sleep, that was A BIG PROBLEM! She went to school late and, VERY EXHAUSTED! Ashleys teacher always had a problem with her coming late. She was really sleepy in class, she accidently fell asleep.

That's when the bullying started. She started mocking ashley and stole her lunch. Ashley never did anything because she was intimidated by the bully. Duffy felt sorry and gave her a book to relieve her stress, because that always helps him.

Ashley read that book that night, It actually helped her get to sleep. She had a nice sleep that night, and got early to school. The bully was trying to intimidate Ashley, but the book gave her the courage to stand up to the bully. The bully left furiously, Ashley Gave her the book to calm her down.

The bully read the book and finally understood that she was bullying Ashley. The bully thought of it as some jokes. Now she finally understood what she has been doing. She apologized and asked Ashley if she wanted to play soccer with her and Duffy.

Do you struggle trying to save money? Do you spend your money to fast? When was the last time you had money in your bank? Well if your trying to save your money and get some tips this is what you have been looking for.

Firstly, you can start a budget and stick to it. How would you stick to it you may ask? Well you can make a list of groceries and stick to that for as long as you want. Instead of getting the most expensive things, stick to cheaper stuff. So you could have a bit more money.

Another way to save money is to deposit your money in to a bank account. You have to open up a account first before putting money into the account. How would this help you say? This will help because you can’t touch your money because it’s in the bank.

Lastly, instead of buying stuff like Games, Makeup, and Jewellery, just buy things that you will need. Things that will help you survive like food and clothing. Imagine having a lot of makeup and no food, you could starve. If you spend all your money on stuff you don’t need you wouldn’t be able to survive.

As a result you will have more money because of your Budget,Savings and the way you spend your money wisely.Eventually you will have the things you need and you will also still have money.
