My Netbook Reflection 2013

 

This presentation is a reflection on how my netbook and the manaiakalani has helped me throughout this year. 

My Success Poem

Success

Success is the best because when comes to a test you start to rest.

Just know that success has got your back when you need it and even some really hard test like reading.

Success will get you to the top you’ll be in the highest just like a star you’ll be the brightest.

Reading and writing yeah that was my topics because when comes to hard work failure is not an option.

the important message is to never give up or your gonna get a bad mark.

Thank you for listening to this lovely poem and remember success is the best because failure is not an option.

Misimoa - T4 Writing Sample 2013

It was a boiling hot day and the sun was just shooting out it’s blades of fire . I got a text for my friends and they were just informing me about our overnight camp at the Piha. So I started to pack my clothes and headed off to pick up a couple of mates. It was a long ride and the temperature out there was way to hot. We finally arrive at Piha mills and was satisfied that we were out of the sun. we rush into the lounge and the owner settled some rules and the boundaries of Piha. We took our bags from the car and all chose to sleep in one cabin.We were really engaged with the archery because we felt like we were inside the hunger games. We played for a while and the sun was starting to go home, so we decided that we should go sleep. It was the 3:32 and then we could hear a weird gorilla noise coming from outside. We turn on the lights and noticed that Daniel was out of bed and so we walked out and saw Daniel just standing there in a strange position, His veins were bursting out and he was straining his whole body. He look really tense. I walked up to him and whispered “Daniel come inside it’s late. then he replayed “My name is not Daneil” and he kept saying that like he was some sort of parrot repeating himself over and over again. After a couple of seconds he ran into the forest and so I ran into the cabin and told some off my other friends that he ran into the forest and that we had to go find him.Now it was 4:00 and we turn on our torches and we to go search for him. Then we found him and he was inside some sort of bush rocking back and forth. His eyes were pale white and it looked like he was possessed by a demon or something like that. So we grabbed hold his body and took him back but he kept trying to fight out of it and then he head butted one of my friends and my friend was knocked out cold. We couldn't get him up for like half an hour then he finally woke up. and once we got Daniel back to the camp-site the first word he said was “Hey guys what are we doing here” I told what happened but he wouldn't believe me but then after that everyone started to call him demon boy because of that incident. After that incident no one went camping again and no one knows if he will turn again and be warned because he just might turn up inside your room . . .

My poem about dreams

Misimoa

I run like the wind at every game I win.

When I kick the ball it fly’s into the air when I come back down I look like Chase blair.

Mate Ma’a Tonga and Toa samoa are hungry for some moa.

Be scared because we own a chicken store.

I’m the new samoan thor

I’ll take down your front door

There’s gonna be war.

You're gonna hear me roar.

There’s a new law

Bump off’s and fights,

You’ll be out the door,

I’m one of  Fantastic 4,

who does not snore.

One day I’ll play for samoa,

and you’ll be in the crowd cheering “Misimoa.”

I’ll be under the goal post getting a big score.

I’m not a simile because it’s just me,

I’m flash like Bolt fending off trouble going to achieve my goal.

That’s my future, I don’t wanna be a tutor and the names not Misi it’s Freddie Kruger.

Don’t call me a loser because I got all the fame.

you should be ashamed because your skills are lame.

War at Waihi brain storm.

This is a brain storm about What factors contributes to decision making and these are the ideas we have come up with.

My Holiday Description

Coopers Beach Christian Youth Camp

My Young Men’s Journey

As I arrive to the chapel my heart skips a beat feeling so pumped ready to say goodbye to my family as I leave for the Young Men’s camp.

The roaring sound of the siren goes off and it’s time to go. I turn to my parents to give them a hug and a kiss. I wave to my parents then suddenly I hear my friend screaming out to me saying “We can’t be late,” I rush to him and we both head inside and got separated into two teams, I was in black and he was in green. Before we left we got a little pep talk from the leaders. After we did some activities just to warm us up for the morning. My team lost but I felt like a winner anyways.

I took my bags to the van. I turned my head to the left and I saw one of my church buddies. I chucked my bags into the van and sprinted out to him. I caught up to him and saw that he had a hurt himself on the arm. he looked like he was in so much pain, so I run to get a leader to come help. The bleeding starts to overflow and it looks like a volcano when erupted. Brother Smith come to the rescue and patches up the bleeding mess. Then the siren goes off and we are all commanded to hit the road.

The engine starts off and I could already feel the sandy beach and the fresh breezy air. I open the window as we are on the road and swing my head out but while the wind is touching my tongue, a bug gets caught too. I put my head back in and open my bag to grab a fresh packet of Skofs. Opening up the bag was my favorite part because I could already taste the divine treat even though it hasn’t touched my mouth yet.

The Skof chip lands on my tongue and my taste buds are really happy. we stop at

a park for more activities. The game that we played was a four way tiger war. and each group settles in and grabs one piece of the immense rope. The siren howls of loudness and the games begin. We fall to the ground and I all I can taste is dirt and grass in my mouth.

Blooms Taxonomy

This is a presentation on blooms Taxonomy that I and my friend Edward did for our reading task .

Rubbish Debate.

We are responsible for the rubbish in our school.

We both agree that we know  it is us that causes the rubbish in our school and that needs to stop!

Everyday we see children littering around our school , not caring for our  school grounds and that’s just not right because the teachers are not are parents .We are mature enough to pick up after ourselves. I am motivated to try stop this because  animals are dying everywhere due to how we litter. We are suffocating the air for different types creatures all around the world.

Rubbish can cause important school tournaments to be postponed or even cancelled. Without observing the area around you may ask “WHY!” because the fields are filled up with food scraps and compose that can damage players and put their bodies on the line.

Multiple abominable decisions may ruin our school reputation and gives us horrible reports  because the E.O.R (Education office review) might see the rubbish that is piled up in the fields and on the playground and they might think “Wow what a messy school” and give us a bad report that will give Tamaki Primary a bad name.

Well listen to this: if this goes on how would we live like this? And what if rubbish is going to keep on flooding our school, how will we stop this? We also think if rubbish stops the school. Will we still be up there with the top schools? Will we even still have a school name?. Please make a difference and stop! this.

Misimoa- Narrative Writing- The Magic Flying Carpet

It was a mysterious evening because my mother had disappeared I don’t know where but I tried so hard to find and I'm sure she couldn't have gone so far because it was only this morning when she told me she was going grocery shopping until suddenly... I sighted a secret door well it look secret and then I found a strange looking device that had a play button in the centre of it and at the back of it was a white sheet covering something. So then I pressed play on the strange looking device and up popped a hologram of my father he had said to open up and the white sheet, sit on it  and say the following words that’s when I paused the hologram. I pulled off the white sheet and an dusty old rug was just lying on the ground so I sat down and played the rest of the following tape. He said to say “fly le vaalele fly” and as soon as you know it the rug started to wiggle and up I went flying on air. It felt like I was walking on air.

When I was in the air the rug took up into the clouds and it was taking me somewhere but then the rug started to slow down because there was a dark palace with lightning and disasters and it took too much space so we had nowhere to go. So the rug floated me slowly inside the castle very slowly. I saw shadows rushing across the room. I was so scared I nearly hugged the rug viciously. we floated a couple more steps inside and then boom! cannons were going off and me and the rug zoomed through the cannons dodging the all of them but lucky one nearly had me but it skimmed my nose and clashed somewhere else. then when that mess was over we saw a dark smelly tunnel so we went inside and the tunnel led us to more danger there were knives flying, flames bursting from the ground and we had no idea how to get out of this one. The rug had some sort of remote that had a defence shield. I pressed the button and there was a bubble that started to surround me and the knives was just bouncing off the shield and clashing into the solid walls making tiny dents in it. Boom boom we heard loud stomps and went there slowly ROAR! a raging giant grabbed me started to squeeze me and it was nearly going to squeeze me to death but then the rug brung out these intense machine guns and started shooting but the giant felt no effect. The rug tickled the giant and as soon as possible the giant let go of me and I fell onto the rug and the rug and I flew off and the exit door was right in front of us then zoom there were lasers slicing through. We tried to dodge the lasers but they were too much of a maze to get passed then we used the shield and went in then when we hit the first laser weeoh weeoh the security alarm went off so we rushed to the exit door and flew out.

And there it was standing right in front of us the palace of heaven we glided there and I jumped off the rug and opened the door and I couldn't believe my eyes but my mum and dad were having tea. I said “Mum, dad how could you, have tea without me” so then my mum told me to come have tea but I refuse and jumped on the rug and zoomed off into the clouds just flying around the palace.

Term 2 - Writing Sample

It was a dim night and I was working. I worked for a spy corporation L.C(Lars Corporation)with my brothers Lutimi, Simon, and Tupou. We were hyped up for our first mission. My My boss was Larz he told us to take some weapons and gadgets for safety so me and my brothers sprinted to the weapon area and took some guns, knives and gadgets. Larz call us in for our first mission he showed us the location we had to go to. And off we started up the car and zoomed off and we were pumped up and confident but little did we know that we were heading to a haunted house.

Finally we arrived at the house and the house look pretty beat up. We took our weapons and headed inside we kicked the door open and turned on our flashlights but the house look like nobody was there. Then when we were all inside the door shut closed right before my eyes. I heard rain pouring down and it started to come in because of all of the leaks in the house. my brothers were scared to death but then I heard scratching but couldn't see through the darkness and I was wondering where is the noise coming from. I had to dig deeper if I wanted to know so then I told my brothers to follow me. We walked closer getting closer and closer then “Crash!” the chandelier fell and clashed on the floor then we took a step closer and the vase flew across us and collided with the wall and Simon said “Now I know why this house looks crumbled up. Carrying our gadgets and stuff we couldn’t bare to stand but we had to do it for our team. I took out my thermal metre and tried to scan were the ghost are. I nearly pick up a signal but it left so I said “Split up into two groups me and Lutimi will go right and Tupou and Simon will go left.” As soon as we split I started to plant cameras around the house to scope the scene incase some unusual happens. Then I called one of my friends to tell him to watch the cameras. 12:03 and midnight had faded away. So this time we had to move fast. My mate called back and said “We have a situation in room 104” so then I replied “What is it?” Then he replied” There’s been a some things flying around. I rushed there right away and then the thermal metre was beeping going crazy.

I saw a little boy sitting in the corner so then I took out my gun... took my first shot and then right before my eyes swoosh he disappeared before I could get him. I started to sprint faster and faster then I found him again and tip toed to him but then he stood up and opened up the tinned ghost capturer and chanted “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust put this boy into the ghost capturer.” the boys ashes flew into the can and I quickly closed it and by the time we got out of the house we jumped into the car and took off. Mr Larz was very proud of us and gave us permanent mission hunter badges.

A Flash In Time

It was a really bright morning but slightly windy at the same time and no one was driving on the street. I was just looking at my grandpa he was only standing there gazing back at me and so I look to the other side and saw the trees swaying like a Hawaiian ladies grass skirt going left and right. I turn to the other way and the road was just looking like there was a tractor who just swallowed it up. Then I turn and looked at the back of me and the pohutukawa tree was so bright I thought it was Christmas.

Looked back at my grandpa and he said to me in a deep small whisper “Why are you here?” and I replied “ I'm here because of you.” I heard my grandpa crying because he misses me and he replied “Go back go back” I yelled “No!” and his spirit just drifted away it was just like the wind blew him away. I searched around for him but still he wasn't there then I heard whispers in my head I ran to a tree hugging it so tight I thought the tree was going to pop. The voices in my head were so loud it was like I was in a tornado and everyone was just saying “Help, help.” Finally the voices stop my head was clear I finally listen to the birds singing with their chirps and the rocks on the road rolling and crackling like it was the bird little instrument.

I could feel the rough bark and chilly wind just hitting my arm giving me goosebumps. I feel a the leafs falling down laying down on my soft skin and my soft silky hair. I could also feel the grass covering my feet as the wind blows it. My clothes are waving like a flag. I feel my face going really cold about to faint but I know I have to find my grandpa.

As I'm hugging the tree I smell sausages I think but it was just the the pohutukawa tree. I also smell the fresh grass and the salty breeze. When I was hugging the tree I smelt the honey from the beehive all the way up in the tree. I smell the leaves that fall on my head.Then I smell a spirit nearby. I can smell the salty sea water splashing on the edge were the rocks are.

Will.I.Am Donates $100,000,00 To Manaikalani

Faith,Taylor,Jayden, Mavis got the chance to experience another way of  learning with the Manaiakalani. A fantastic piece of news which came to us as "Someone donated some money to the Manaikalani education trust" Well we found out that someone was MrWill.I.Am

I hope you enjoy reading my awesome experience below 

Please leave a comment!!!

Thursday 6 May 2013, was well... the best day of our life!!! I’m not being dramatic or anything but a group of students got the chance to see that Mr.William James Adams,otherwise known as Will.I.Am . He has donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust. We were told at first that it was an anonymous donater but when we arrived we got the news that it was Will.I.Am himself who had donated the money.It was something worth experiencing.

When the cheque was presented we were thankful and honored for his helpful donation towards the Manaiakalani Education Trust. His inspirational words motivated us all as students to keep moving forward in life.

The words that he preached today was "My mission is to help transform disadvantaged youths, and I hope my donation to the Manaiakalani Trust will help these young people gain the skills they need for tomorrow's job market."

We acknowledged that fact the he shared a small portion of his life with us about growing up with  only his mum to raise him and about the fact that music and arts literally saved his life. He told us that his dream was to look after his mother and siblings.

When he told us what his dream was we felt like we could do something with our life. Meeting or hearing him wasn’t just hearing or seeing him as a celebrity but we got to hear and see him as a person who motivated himself to succeed in life.

We came back to school feeling glad we got to be part of something worth remembering, we got to be part of something we could tell our friends with pride and experience.

My Reading Group Goals For Term 2

My Ancestral Poem

I am a proud Samoan with no shame to hide sometimes I lie but nothing will take away my Samoan pride.

I am a male,

boy not a girl,

a loud 12 year old pearl.

A proud Samoan who loves fire dancing, throwing fire in the air, trying to bare the heat with sweaty hair.

A Samoan who likes slap dances, hearing my ancestors doing their chants and fighting for me in battle.

My ancestors live in me,

their past decisions have shaped who I am today and if it weren't for them my days will feel like rain.

I will take my ancestors with me,

They may not be with me physically but they will be with me in spirit just like the wind.

I see myself inside an arena fighting for the championship title against John Cena.

I will rise in the future with my ancestors cheering for me and crying tears of joy.

I will succeed with the comfort and love of my ancestors.

My Best Friend

This is my poem that I have submitted in the poetry box competition.

                                       

My Best Friend

To my dear friend Tupou.

Friendship is not a gift it can not be bought or sold not even with gold.

It takes more then to just care to be a friend you have to try and blend .

I have a friend,

we have stood strong,

he has been there for me from the beginning of the road.

Even though we fight a lot our hearts shall not be apart.

You will never be alone because your friend is there with your hand in hold.

We can be kind of crazy and fun but  Our friendship is a song that I will remember,

the rope can’t break when we are together.

True friendship is from the heart when you get along with somebody then something will start.
