2020 Highlights - T4W9

 As you know 2020 is coming to its finale, and with that comes the end of intermediate for me :( This year has been really messy but as you can see we got through it well and happy. Here are a two highlights from this year. 

Extension. 

Its been a privilege to be in extension this year. I'd like to give thanks to Mrs Lagitupu for giving me an awesome year of extension this year! I loved the laughs I had with everyone, and learning about new things was really interesting. Doing the tests was hard and stressful, but the google meets were really fun :) Thanks guys ! 

Athletics.

Athletics was a really big highlight of my 2020 year, and this photo just sums up why. I feel like this whole year just brought everyone together, and that connects to Y8 camp too :) We all seemed really happy, and thats what got me into a great mood :) Our last athletics was great! Thanks to everyone that participated and made this even possible. 

Conclusion.

In conclusion, 2020 was really great! Finally school is nearly over (ﾉ´･ω･)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻ and i'm off to college next year :( My best wishes for next year go out to all you year 8's! Have a great christmas and a wonderful new years day! :)

Manaiakalani Film Festival - 2020

 

 

Finally the manaiakalani film festival is back for 2020!

There were only a few movies this year due to the messy year we've had with covid happening and all the lockdowns we have been through. But it was really fun seeing we could still do our festival :) 

There were two movies from our school that I really enjoyed this year :)

Room 678's movie 'Level 2 BBQ' was my personal favorite because of the humor and great acting from all of our year 6's :) I also really liked Room 1's movie 'A day in the life' ! The amount of fun everyone was having and the wonderful jokes and humor in the movie is what I liked the best.

Honestly the hoyts cinema was a wonderful experience! I noticed the movie theatre had changed alot :/ But besides all that it was pretty cool. The movie theatre seemed much more larger and everything looked much more spaced out :) Alot of schools were there too, they were really nice and waved at us :) 

Overall I really loved the movies this year :) and i'm happy it got put up since I wont be able to see any of our movies in 2021 :') i'll be off to college!

Loved the movies you teachers brought for us to see this year!

Hope to see the great mahi in 2021.

Thanks!

Week 1 Reflection - Term 4

 Term 1 Week 1 Reflection 2020 :)

This week has been quite amazing to be honest.

The topic of art really excited me :) 

Coming back to school didn't feel as different as it did back in the messy term of term 2, with another lockdown that came up, it just felt the same as it did before. Maybe because we've been getting use to coming to school, then leaving again. I felt proud of my achievements this term, from getting exellence in a exam, to getting my work finished quickly (which is a surprise since it doesn't happen alot) its funny how much I have improved in one week.

I'm looking forward to getting into art this term, graduation sounds fun, but furthermore I just want to have fun for my last term of 2020.

I look forward to what term 4 is going to bring for me this year :)

The great starting of Term Four!

WALT: Use correct sentences to help structure our writing.

Today is finally the day where the great break of the holidays end! It’s the start of Term 4 and we have alot of amazing things that may happen through out the rest of the good term. I guess no more wasted nights playing fortnite huh?

This term is so exciting! We have many exciting things, we have our Manaiakalani Film Festival (Hopefully coming soon throughout the term), Atheletics, we have reports, our year 6 camp, and heaps more! Im mostly really excited for Atheletics.

My goal this term is to get good at art. Mostly drawing since im on a bit of a low standard when it comes to it, well not really but I just want to learn more on how I can become better. 

I really hope to learn about famous artists, like Vincient Van Goh and Picassio. I want to learn the meanings behind there famous paintings and also why they became so well known within the kind of work they did.

Overall I think Term four is going to be really awesome. Of course i’ve said that theres alot of exciting things that are going to happen, like the film festival, reports, camp, also that im really looking forward to atheletics, I have two goals that I am focused on, and that I want to learn about famous artists and why they are well known to the kind of work they do. I can feel that Term four is going to be really amazing!

Task description: 

For this task today we wrote about the new term, we wrote some goals, events that are going to happen and also what we would really like to learn. We also learnt how to write a proper conclusion. I found it very injoyable to write this piece of work, it's very difficult to write good words through making a good sentence, and also put up some goals that I wanted to acheive
