Visit To St Pius X

Dear Mrs Moodley

Thank you very much for letting Room 11 come to St Pius, so your class can teach us some ukulele tunes. Room 11 really appreciates what you did for us. I think your class should teach Glen Innes School the ukulele. For some reasons I thought it was going to boring, but since I saw Daisure it was really inspiring. After we came back I still had the vibe in me, so it was hard to get it out of my head. Well anyway Room would love to come to your class next year. I hope your class can give us some lessons.

( P.S Ask Mrs Ramkolowan if you want to come to our concert. )

Yours sincerely

Mikayla

Netbook Reflection 2012

At the beginning of Term 2 I felt really excited when I was getting my netbook. The netbook has been very handy to me because we can play on the internet. The netbook encourages me to learn more because it lets me learn from my mistakes.

The netbook is like having $10.00 each day to me. Having the netbook for the first term is was really scary because I was afraid if someone will drop it. But now I'm getting use to my netbook. The netbook is more easier to type with instead of writing and rubbing out and sharpening your pencil. It is more easier for me to understand.

The annoying stuff about my netbook is the wireless connection. Even though you click the wireless button a thousand times it still won't work, so that is really annoying. On my netbook there is a distraction, it's the games and the YouTube. Some people were off task because their netbook was a distraction. Room11 always wanted to play on their netbook, because they wanted to play on games or listen to music. To me I thought it was an addiction.

The most interesting thing about my netbook is that you get to chat to your friends. The netbook has been an interesting gadget because we can type, we can search and we can talk to our friends. But the most interest thing about my netbook is we can Learn, Create, Share. I love my netbook more than family. My netbook is the most interesting thing that I ever had.

My goals that I need to earn next year is to take care of my netbook and to figure out things myself.

Sharing is Caring

Walt: learn, create, share.

Early this week I did a power point for Room 1 and 2. My power point was based on animal features. What I did was take photos and turn it into a book. The thing that was hard for me was trying to get the kids attention. I think they were looking at Alisi’s power point. The kids loved it when they were holding my net book. Poiva and I were reading the power point together.  The fun part was when Poiva and I had to guess what animal we were talking about.  I wish that I could show other people in the world my power point and read it to them.

A scary start

Walt: write a story in sequence.

One misty dawn morning Jelsma was full of fright. He told his friend Tan-Charlie that he was pusillanimous. He felt like disgorging in the bathroom.

After a little while Mikayla had told Jelsma to be calm and relaxed. That when he finishes his spectacular jump Mikayla will buy him anything. Jelsma was so scared that he said he had huge eels sloping in his stomach. Mikayla felt sorry. Tan-Charlie told Jelsma that is was going to be okay only if he follows the instructions right.

Mary asked if Jelsma was ready to jump. “There is no time to talk you have to jump now” Jalal said. “You are going to be alright” said Tan-Charlie. Jelsma was ready to jump, but he told Jalal that he was filled with extreme fear and was shivering. That was a huge problem for Jelsma. But luckily Tan-Charlie and Mikayla was always encouraging him no matter what.

So Jelsma wiped his face and slapped himself clean. He was not scared any more, because we all encouraged him. Off went Jelsma as he flew with excitement. He felt like he already finished his jump. Jelsma was almost at the finish point until he pulled a string to let his parachute free. But suddenly he landed in some spice country.

Suddenly Jelsma smelt and saw spices. He thought he was in South Africa until he saw this sign saying “Welcome to South Africa”. Jelsma thought it was a nightmare until he woke up. It was all a dream he said to his self. “Oh no, it’s my jump today” screamed Jelsma.

The theme of this story is to never give up and to always give it a try.

It was amazing

On a Thursday evening the year 6 and 7 children came to school for a fantastic disco, everyone was crazy. The songs that were popular in our Blue Light Disco was Gangnam style, Boom Boom and Teach me how to Dougie. The most coolest part was when Britney and Robin had a dance battle. Britney won because girls are the best. I really hope we have another disco very soon.

G.I.S. Don't Be Late

Chant

G.I.S. don’t be late
G.I.S. grab you mate
Roar so we can hear
Come on, forget about the gingerbeer.

Someone is crying
Someone is trying
We need to do our best
So we can win a treasure chest.

Come on we need to get in the game
Because there is no shame in our name.
Let me hear your voice
You  have no choice.

G.I.S. don’t be late
G.I.S. grab you mate
Roar so we can hear
Come on, forget about the gingerbeer.
