Energy

How Electricity Move

WALT write an explanation about electricity.

We are learning how Electricity moves.

Electricity is power.
Electricity is a form of power.

What is electricity?

Electricity are plugs and power lines (cord) that travels underground or other places like on the street etc, to give us light, water, music and lots more cool stuff.

How electricity travels?

Electricity comes from a power station. Inside a power station is a generator, which is powered by wind, water or coal. Power lines carry the electricity from the power station to the substation where transformers reduce the strength of the electricity so it will be safe to use in  our homes.

The distribution lines carry the electricity to our homes where we use it.

Manaiakalani Film Festival 2012 - School is cool

In Term 2 we were learning a lot about movie magic, and how movies can influence our world. We created many movies. We started by brainstorming key messages we could include in our movies. 

We also made a movie that explains how to plant kumara. It was really fun to do. We created this movie to inspire people to learn how to grow their own kumara.


Our movie for The Manaiakalani Film Festival is called 'School Is Cool'. We made it to share all of the cool learning and fun that we have at school.

Our movie was also shown at the Tamaki Primary Academy Awards. We created a PMI about Movie Magic and shared what we liked, what was challenging and interesting.

My Holiday Description

The holiday programme I attended was very cool. I went with Tioti and Moapa and her little sister, Sharon in the office went too. My favourite days were Wednesday the 3 and Friday the 5.

On Wednesday 3rd October we went to bowling near Royal Road. We went in and sat down waiting for Sharon and the other leaders to pay for all of us. After like 20 minutes we stood up to get ready to play bowling. First we had to write our names on our group machines. This is so that other people will know it is there turn.  Afterwards, we went to the cinemas for our own entertainment, we watched a movie called Madagascar 3 It was funny.

On Friday the 5th October there was another trip. We went to Franklin Riding school to ride horses. Before we even rode a horse we needed to get comfortable with riding a horse so that we wouldn’t be frightened. We had to pat the horse and, clean all the dirt off it. After all of that we learnt how to turn the horse left and right, we also learnt how to slow it down and make it go faster. Soon we went out to this big field but instead of grass it was white clean sand, we rode the horses around it because we needed to get used to it . It was cool  for me because i know now how kind horses are and how they can trust the kids. At the end we had to go back to go back to Dunkirk centre in Panmure. We went in 2 vans one was blue and one was a Jeep it was red. We went in our bus all the way back to Panmure where we belong.

It was a cool time at the holiday programme, we go there every holidays and I can't wait for the next one.

THE END.

My Narrative Story - Town vs Devils

WALT write a narrative story based on our artwork

 

In a far away town called ‘Rocky Bay’ there lived only eight people. This town was quiet and creepy. these people lived normal lives doing normal things everyday like going to work, shopping at the mall and taking their pets for a walk.

One scary night bad aliens and devils were traveling all the way from mars and they discovered ‘Rocky Bay’. One of the devils on the ship said to his friend, who was a ghost, “Hey Ghostly your the first one to get out so go and hide behind that tall rock”.
“Ok”, replied Ghostly. So off he went with Billy.



When they were hiding behind the rock Billy could not stop laughing “sshhh! You are going to wake up the town” Ghostly said to him
“ok” Billy said
“bhbh ahahahahahaha!!” he made it even worse and worse “shut up man” Ghostly whispered angrily.

Then suddenly the town lights went on “ohh no!” Ghostly said with fear.  Then they both ran back to the ship.
”What was that” the bakery owner said to himself. Someone came “I have no idea?” he said, “but by the way can i have a mince pie” “sure” said the bakery owner. So he gave it to him, and he went to the top of the roof of the bakery. When he got there there was people trying to rob the bakery but he did not care he just got happy. So when Ghostly and Billy ran back Billy was fired for laughing and for waking up the town “so its up to you Deves”Ghostly said “of course you fools”Deves the devil said,so off he went.As he got out of the ship he did not hide like Ghostly and Billy did he just showed his self “oooooo! pass me your souls hahahahaha!”.”What on earth is he doing” Ghostly said “hahaha i don't know” Billy said “OK! were off to see what hes up to” said Ghostly so off he went. When he got out lots of people’s were shouting and screaming in a fright “whoo! go Deves” Ghostly shouted” “what are you doing” Deves shouted back “helping you because this world is going to be ours ahahahahahahaha!!”.Soon as Deves and Ghostly were destroying the world,Billy started to drive the ship he was going to land it in the middle of a war and he was also going to kill someone. “What are you thinking!!” Deves said “ your going to stop the war!” “MOVE THE SHIP NOW!!” “no! im Billy and im smart”, then Ghostly flyed up to stop the ship “let go” Billy said then finally the ship landed on the ground and everyone got away then Deves wheels brook off.”nooo! my wheels! help me you fools!” then they all got away to get weapons soon it was quite.

All About Me

Hi, My name is Tionee. I am 12 years old. I was born in New Zealand in 2001. I have short shiny hair and brown eyes as clean a diamond. I like to smile, be happy and meet patient new kind friends.

I have 5 brothers. I live with my Mum, my 3 brothers and 21 years old cousin. My older Two brothers are in a different country called Denmark. My Dad lives in Mangere, Auckland. I love my amazing family because they help me and they love me with proper care.

I am a full Pacific Islander which is full Kiribati language and half Tuvaluan and Tongan. I am very proud of my cultures. The things that represents me the most is the island foods, houses, trees and water. As some people didn't know I used to always be treated like a European child and was a European child since I was younger. I lived partly in Denmark and used to fully live in Sweden, straight after my birth here.
 
The things I enjoy doing are running, playing anything like sports with my little siblings if they come over, getting fresh air and love to ride my scooter I currently share with my 3 little brothers around, across my street and over other nearest streets from mine.

My main best friends are Arapeta, Sake, Kini, Iceziah and Wiremu. The things we mainly do is hang around different area's at school by not letting our self's get trapped in One area in a whole week, we also play a little Rugby League on a small field for fun. The things we always do is play Touch with room 7 up our top courts and Rugby can be included at any periods at some days as well. What I love about my friends is them sticking up for each other including me, friendly reaction together, funny jokes and always working together to build a shield over us all from fights.

My learning goal for this year is to learn different maths strategies to solve challenging maths problems.

What Id like to be when I'm older:

The closes aspirations to me is to have at Airport or job relation to Airport because I love the way it runs, its area and how workers are always busy knowing what to do at all times.
My second choice for aspiration would be Vehicle Organizations for Shipments, which would mean, I'd love to work at a company where countries contact us for different vehicles they want to receive by ship, new or used. Then it will be prepared by us ready to be loaded onto ship. 
I'm looking forward on these Two aspirations for me in time of my future because to my calculations, these Two aspirations contain effort, support, team work and hard working which I always like.
