Best Learning in Religious Education 2015

I have learnt a lot of interesting things in R.E this year. The most interesting thing I learnt had to be the story of Fatima which is about 3 Children that Mary had appeared to, she had told them three of her predictions that she had thought would really happen. 2 of those secrets she had told them had happened but the last secret has not been revealed. Pope John Paul the second was about to reveal the third secret but he was attempted to be shot and narrowly missed it. 

My Best Writing of 2015

The All Blacks running onto the field led by Richie McCaw was like we were going to war!!.

4 Years ago My Mum and I went to watch the All Blacks face the Argentine Pumas at Eden Park. I was really excited to have had the special chance to cheer on the All Blacks, “YAAAY!!”.  It was really astonishing to be close up to see the All Blacks perform the Haka, KA MATE, KA MATE, KA ORA!!!. Nigel Owens the Referee of the game had blown his whistle, WEOOOW!!! and the crowd went bizarre.

It was a really close and intense first half, not only were there no points scored but… the defense from both teams was really impressive. The Penalty was awarded to the All Blacks, WEOOOW!! and Piri Weepu the All Blacks scrum half had to chance to boot in 3 points. Nervously the All Blacks fans were waiting for the kick to be converted and Piri Weepu had given the All Blacks the lead 3-0, “YAYYY!!”, I had shouted with great excitement. OOOOOO!!!!, that was a really close decision made by Nigel Owens but unfortunately the All Blacks No.8 Kieran Read’s foot was outside the line and the score remained 3-0 the Pumas were lucky with that decision. Another penalty was kicked by Piri Weepu and the score was 6-0, but not long after the great teamwork from Argentina had paid off with a convincing try by Julio Farias Cabello. So going into Halftime with the boot of Piri Weepu the All Blacks were leading 12-7.

Nigel Owens whistle was blown again to signal the start of the second half. The All Blacks had started the Second Half astonishingly with a huge break by Isaia Toeava with great support from Ma’a Nonu to make great metres. My Mum and I were at the edge of our seats, but indiscipline had costed the All Blacks a penalty which Argentina's fly half had countered on and the score was 12-10.

Later on in the Second Half the All Blacks started to capitalize with a great try from Kieran Read who was doubted a try in the First Half. All Blacks had a real comfortable lead with a lead by 13 points ( 23-10). Now the All Blacks were playing at their best with another great try by Veteran Lock Brad Thorn, so the score now was 33-10 and it remained till the end of the game. WEOOOW WEOOW!! Nigel Owens had blown the whistle to state that the All Blacks were in for a Semi Final booking against the Wallabies.

What a great game!!, a great kicking game from both sides, great team work within the width of the field and great defense. I was really glad that I could be there with my Mum.

Best Learning in Maths 2015

In Maths this year I have learnt a lot of new things. Working with Mrs Tui has been really successful. In particular I have learnt Percentages and Decimals which I thought wasn't possible to learn. I have also learnt the difference from Plane to Solid Geometry, Plane Geometry are two dimensional shapes and Solid Geometry are three dimensional shapes.

My Sailing Experience

We were all really looking forward to what was planned this afternoon.

It was a windy day which was great weather conditions for sailing. We were all really excited to be going sailing. This was all part of our activity days. The first group went in the morning and the second group (my group) went later in the afternoon.

Finally we had arrived and we went to get ready and got changed into our lifejacket and our warm waterproof jacket. We all couldn’t wait to get in our boats and sail. Our instructor Reuben had told us a few rules and had showed us how to control our yacht. We had got into pairs in our yachts and had pushed our yachts out into the water. One person in each yacht was going to be controlling the yacht and the other person judges the wind by pulling the sail.

We were out on the water and Reuben had instructed us to go to a yellow point, so Me and Misiotei rushed for the yellow point. It was a great experience especially when our yacht was about to sink. Catherine and Lupe were the first to the yellow point.

Our last task was to go for the white point which was closer to shore. I was in control and headed straight to the white point. Yay!!! in excitement me and Misiotei were the first pair to the white point. Unfortunately it was the end for our Sailing session and we had to get changed and go back to school.

It was a awesome experience and I wish to go sailing again.
