Year: 2023

Yr 8 Assembly + LCS Expo

The yr 8’s of this year including me had our last assembly talking about the years that have past and the times we had in team tui. The days were fun and goofy with all the drama and stuff happening even camp, which has changed most of us with our confience and that which has helped us with how we are now. Well except for me but I still try but today is the day where we appreciate the time we had in Glen taylor, rethinking all the sweet memories we had with one another and other people we barely hangout most times. These are the times when we think about what we had been doing the past years and days. not knowing what is ahead of us and our future. Well after all the chit chat and the talks about our last assembly we had an expo about the learning that Team tui and Team kea, or the rest of the school. did the expo thingy about the cultural group that we are in and that, it was a time to appreciate our work and see other people’s arts and craft and see what they have created. Some may not be the best but they do look good. Which is another good hing about looking at other people’s work. It was a nice day to just and commerate all the things we have experience in the past and things we most enjoyed and looking at ourselves which is the most embarissing part about an assembly because we look at ourselves think like, What…( But that might just be me who thinks what… ) But the day was mostly about the yr 8’s assembly. And there was even a dance where most year 8 girls did a dance the Pacific Pearls. Which only took 2 days apprently whichc is surprisily fast. We even got to get cetificates that talk about us and what we might become or what might happen and that, like I will be proving to be Lebron James… But today was probably the day I would remember because it was the best day to experience little kids roaming around team tui seeing all the amazing crafts that were created for everyone to see and be inspired by to help them give ideas in the future for the little kids as they grow to learn about new things and stuff 😀

Maths – Financial Literacy

Yesterday Team tui have been learning about Financial stuff, like if you want to buy something that costs a lot  of money and stuff, or you can just invest and save up until another lot of your payment comes in. I didn’t really do it yesterday because I was doing some really other inportant stuff. But this was so boring and hard to figure out which thing costs what, so most of my stuff aren’t accurate but they sure will be useful  for like something.

Adding and Subtracting Fractions

Today my math group  and I have been learning about subtracting and adding fractions with related denominators. it was surprisingly easy because I don’t know actually…I just found it pretty easy, or it might have been easy because I am learning about math in this math book I have at home. I think I am turning into Matilda because bro she reads alot and does pretty well at maths so… I read math books just to get smarter and become the new Albert Einstein 😀 Nah just kidding I just wanna be smart when I get into the NBA maybe I don’t because the smartedr u are probably the more wins you will get in the NBA championships or something. But hey it might be helpful getting a job if I don’t get into the NBA because hey knowledge always get you a job…Well I don’t know but I will see in the future for my self to see if it is easy or not, but I hope it is easy to get a job or get in the NBA.  NBA is my dream so I hope my smarts get me in the team because the only basketball player I know that usees smart is some Asian guy who I forgot the name of, so I tryna get in the NBA just like him, because he smart. But this math was pretty easy. but kinda confusing so I had to put most of the words that my math teacher said into my own words so I could understand it more isntead of people saying it inn liek massive words that I don’t understand because my english is very horrible but I would say it was worth it to learna bout adding and subtract fractions with related denominators, because they are family 😀

Island Breeze Performances

Today the whole school was lucky enough to have a free performance to perform from the island breeze group, which is a group that have people with mixed culture who are performing different dances from other cultures like, Samoa, Hawaii and some other cultures.  It was a fun show but my back was hurting from sitting to long.  I think my favourite part about the show has to be the part where some of the band members talk about what they want to be when they grow up or something but it was pretty funny how most of them were acting like, screaming, making people laugh like they are comdeians instead of people that do music.

My Very Long Weekend

Well my weekend was pretty boring because I just basically stayed home because we couldn’t go out or anything because my household was basically sick because I don’t know how. I was just normal, just minding my own busnies playing outside playing minecraft and roblox on my IPad and Iphone. And this continued on and on and I did some little work about the LCS I am doing including all of team tui.  We are doing LCS about the culture group that we are in, but I also think the whole school is doing it too. But I don’t know. But the weekend was the same thing as I did on Saturday I did the same things again over aand over again but I played outside for like 5 hours playing basketball practicing so I can get into a team or something but that is what my mum wants ofr me. But I just play because yeah…But my weekend was meh, like it was alright and all but also boring and sort of fun because of the basketball and the food. It was boring because we weren’t going out but I understand that my whole household was sick so I couldn’t do anything about it. I was gonna go out but knowing me, some random stranger is gonna pull up to me and says hey kid want some ice cream. I would be saying oh yes very kind sir it is a hot day today. But my weekend was ok, but kinda boring but yeah. But it was an awesome weekend so it might be my most favourite of all maybe…

Real numbers

Team tui have been learning about real numbers, which is a think where you count in different steps of numbers where you begun. so for instance like {1, 2, 3, 4…} whcih continues on the right but if is like {…-1, -2, -3,…} Which continues both ways like the left and the right side.  It was really complicated at first but as Mr Raj kept talking about with the help of Mr Victor and Mrs Cox.  As Mr Raj kept talking about the real numbers thing I finally understood the assignment.

 

Grammar Parts Of Speech Pt.2

Thistask was basically the same as the last one but this one is different from the other, becuase this one is about adverbs and adjectives. The ones that are highlitghed blue are the words that like make more sense than the others sort of. This task was really boring but no offense of but this one was kinda fun I guess…I kept making mistakes on them because I didn’t quiet understand the assignments of the task but I got it at the end, it was pretty smart stealing some of the things from the other people 😀 Nah just kidding I only stole 1 thing from my good friend Marcus 😀 but it was really mind tinckling beceause I couldn’t think of words that that makes more sense in the sentences.  I think the most confusing one from the slide is probably the adjective one, because I didn’t really get it at first but I got some things from my friend Marcus again. He mostly helps me with most of the stuff so most of the crediit is most about him :/ but is all good he is a great guy. But this is probably the most mind ttinckling thing ever in my life only the adjective one though.

Grammar parts of Speech Task

I think whole of team tui did this task, this task is about conrinuous tense. I don’t know what that means but it basically means that the sentences are happing right now, so using the words are, is, am, I, I think, And was. So basically all of those things are happing right now which means they are happening right now 😀 That made no sense at all but who cares, this task was very challeging for me because I dind’t read the thing properly and I had to restart the whole thing again because I was too dumb to read the description of the task but it was alright sort of…The good thing is I read it but the sad thing is, is that I had to everyhting again…I know it sucks doing stuff that you just finished and then someone or yourslef reads the description about the task, then you have to restart the whole thing again. but this task was alright and I got stuff within 2 minutes so I was alright with it at the end 🙂

Reading task slide thingy

Team tui have this reading task were we do some stuff that makes us smart 😀 Nah just kidding, this reading task thingy has some stuff where we have to find synonyms, the meaning and make rhymes with the word that we are given each week or it just changes when the teachers feel like changing it, but it is either one of those things. The words you are given each week or whenever it changes when the teachers feel like it, we do stuff that we have to do with our words. Like say for instance your words are go, look, food and changes? You would either have to find words that rhyme with the word or do meanings for the word or something like that. But my favourite one has to be the secret code or the word search.  it is out of those ones that I like it jusst a fun thing for me when I am doing something in my spare ttime, but it is obsivously not fun when you do it yourself and you know ehere all the letters are. But in my opinion I don’t really like the rest because of all the typing and stuff, but I mean the word search has alot of typing in it but it has a lot of thinking when it comes to like figuring out where you want to put all the words in the little boxes, so to me it is more like a thinking game to me. But so far I would still do this just to be smart.

 

Probability

Team tui have been learning about probability like chances of winning something like the lottery, or  some other sorts of things that include winning big prizes, so team tui had some fun games to test our luck in probability. The activities we had were blocko, card picking, flip  the bottle and greedy pig.  The first game blocko is a game of luck,  I mean most of the games were testing your luck. Card picking is kinda easy you had to do the things that you are suppose to do on a screen or when your being told or something, thenonly things that we had to do was pick the red card, the black card try and grab a none pictured card. most of them were easy and some weren’t. Flip the bottle is basically flipping the bottle until it lands, I mean you guys should know what it is. Greedy pig is basically trying to get over 50 while rolling dices, you have to add up until you get  50 or over. then after all those activities we played some bonus games, which I don’t know the names of. But team tui had some fun and it was probably the best expierence for maths. well it didn’t feel like maths to be honest though it just felt like I was at  home playing games outside with my cousins about instead of cousins, I had my friends 😀
