Being Friend

Do you know what being a good friend means? Well, I am here to tell you how. When you start school and you know nobody, you should introduce  yourself to other people to make friends and sometimes best friends.

To be a good friend you do not and I say do not backstab your best friend. I have seen it all before with some of my friends. If you are already a great friend great job. If not, change your ways so that you can have long time friends forever.

You need to be a good friend because if not you will have no friends. Thats so sad if you have no friends. Do you wanna be lonely? Then be a good friend.

Do things go wrong with your best friend?  Use your w.i.t.s, it stands for w - walk away I - ignore t - talk about it   s - seek help, I suggest you use t - talk about it or s - seek help. Talking about it is good because you talk about what is hurting you. Seeking help with a parent or other adult is also good because It is good to talk to someone older.

Now you have read my way of saying,   Be a good friend!!! So you won't be lonely.

The Three Kete Of Knowledge

Capitals.

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.

Have you ever wonder what a capital is?  Well I’ll tell you. The real name for capital is an uppercase letter. Some capital letters aren't always the same shape as the lower case ones. Like A is an uppercase letter and a is a lowercase letter.

You use capitals after full stops, exclamation marks and question marks.  Here is an example. What is 2+2=? It is 4. It shows you are beginning a new sentence which is a new idea.

Also you can use capitals in dates like it is the first of November. Also holidays like Halloween and New Year. It makes sense to add a capital letter to the beginning of the sentence.

Also you can use capitals in dates like it is the first of November. Also holidays like Halloween and New Year.You also use capitals for brands such as  Mcdonald's, Nike, Adidas, Carls Jr, Converse, Google and more. Why I hear you say, well it is because it is the name of something. Here is an example. I would like to go to Mcdonald's for lunch.

You can use a capital for your name. Here is an example, my name is Ava. You need to use capitals or your name will not make sense.

You need to use capitals if not your writing will not make sense.

So use them.

Symbolisom

This is my symbol that represents my love of my Family and Church.

In extension we were given the task to pick a partner and create a symbol that represents what he or she really loves a lot. My partner Adriel, drew this for me, and if you click on her name it will send you to the blog post about this too.(At the top is were it says what it represents for me.)

What Teachers Do At Morning Tea

WALT: use the structure of newspaper articles to write news reports

What Teachers Do At Morning Tea In The Staffroom.

By Ava

At Point England School

At morning tea teachers go to the staffroom to listen to notices from Mr Burt.

Kids at Pt England have a good idea of what their teachers do at morning tea. Here is what some of them had to say. When interviewed Stacy, in year 5 said “I think they talk about the kids with their learning and  eat their lunch.” Cameo said “I think they interact with each other on how to make us better learners, so we can strive to succeed and be future focused learners.”

Teachers go to the staffroom at morning tea, so that they can listen to Mr Burt, the principal. They have to listen to him make important speeches and talk to the other teachers.

When Interviewed Miss King, a teacher at Pt England, said ”We make a cup of instant coffee and we sit down and we listen to Mr Burt talk.”

Teachers work really hard and probably can’t wait till the school holidays in October.

After you read my writing, if you want, you can mark my writing just leave a comment. I have marked my own too.

Stone Collection

I worked out there were 96 stones.

First I did was 42 + 7=49 - 11=38 + 12=50 + 33=83 + 10=93 + 3=96

So if Robert he got 35 more he would have 131.

Storylines Tour Reflection.

Last week on Thursday, me and the extension group went to the storyline tours. I really liked Cath Mayo because she writes books that are really cool and also she has a website Called Catherine Mayo.

 One is called Murder At MyKenia and The Bow. I also like Paula green she has a website called The Poetry Box.

I think that Cath Mayo and Paula Green are great and that you people reading this should go and read these sites.

Maths Time

I worked that  there were 3 pigs and 8 ducks.

I first did 11 circles and then I put 2 legs on them and that made 22 legs on them.

I knew that pigs had 4 legs so I had to add 2 more legs to 3 circles.

Which made 28.

Upgrading To Mature Clothes

Upgrading To Mature Clothes

                By Ava

             At Pt England School

WALT: use the structure of newspaper articles to write my own article.

At Pt England school the year 7 and 8s want to be  distinguished from the younger students, so they get to wear jackets instead of jumpers.

The jackets costs $55 dollars. Which is $1 cheaper than the culottes at $56. There are also black hats that costs $10.Only 98% of Intermediate kids buy jackets.

It is a Black jacket with a zip down the front, and pockets. It has two stripes of red down the sides. She asked the people with the samples “ Can you please bring black and red.”

The Perfects picked out what the style was, but stuck with the colours red and black. Mrs Flavelle Said that she asked the kids. They wanted to distinguish the seniors with the culottes with one colour which was black and the jacket.

Commonwealth Writing.

WOO HOOO, The  commonwealth games begins tomorrow.  Do you know the difference between the Commonwealth games and Olympics? Well the difference is that the Commonwealth Games is not against  countries but against people, and it is also called the “friendly games.” To be  honest I didn't know that the commonwealth existed until just till this term.

Judo is a type of Japanese martial art. I like judo because in Japan that develops self-defence skills in addition to sporting skills. It is a combat sport where opponents compete against each other by attempting to throw from a standing position to the ground or when on the ground by pinning their opponents and, at advanced levels, applying armlocks & strangles.

Hockey is my favorite sport because my mum used to play when she was in intermediate. There is outdoor and indoor, but I like outdoor. I think that hockey is fun and full of excitement and I love it. Hockey is a family of sports in which two teams play against each other by trying to maneuver a ball or a puck into the opponent's goal using a hockey stick.

Gymnastics is all about physical strength, flexibility, power, agility, coordination, grace, balance and control. There is rhythm and artistic. I like rhythmic gymnastics because you can use a ball or a ribbon or hoop. Did you know in 1963 is when gymnastics was first created.

I like gymnastics and Judo and  Hockey. I love to play hockey because she teaches me. I can’t wait till the next commonwealth games in four years time, it is going to be held in the gold coast.

This Rubric Is about my fourth paragraph.

As I slumber in my cabin. I dream of new york and  time square and lady liberty.  I dream I stand at grand central station waiting for my train, I hear bells go off and all of a sudden everything goes dark.  what’s happening I ask myself. I jump out of my cabin and i yell aloud “ does anyone need help” I hear a little girl scream “ yes I do come down, you will see me”

I go down and see the little girl. I rescue the little girl. I climb up to see the stars twinkling in the exquisite sky. The little girl says mummy. the mother thanks me and climbs on a liferaft and ask me to hop aboard as there are no one looking. I hop on and i saved myself and some other people too.

We went to the movie theater and got our tickets. We checked if the theater was ready, it wasn’t. So, we waited and waited and i saw my cousins. They said they were going to see the amazing spider man.

Finally, the theater was ready. So, we went in and watch the movie, it was So cool.

In the movie the birds fly all the way to the amazon jungle.

If you get a chance you should go and see it, I Loved it.

WITS

Have you ever been in trouble with a friend of yours? Well my name is May and I have a friends called Ariettah and Ava. We always see people fight and they never use their WITS, so we are going to teach you how to use your WITS.

The first step of WITS is Walk Away. W stands for Walk Away.  Walk Away means if someone tries to get in a fight with you just Walk Away from it. If you see someone having a fight don’t go to the fight even though there are lots of people,  just stay away from it.

The next step is to Ignore It. If someone is forcing you to go and look at the fight just Ignore It and if they say to come and stick up for them just walk away. Also if someone is getting in trouble with a teacher don’t go there, if you see other people going there just Ignore It.

The T in Talk about it means if you are sad and you think you need to tell someone you can talk about it to a friend or a prefect. It’s good  talking about it with a teacher cause then you feel more better letting it out.  

Last but not least  Seek help. You know when to seek help is when you know fighting is not right so you can go and tell someone or if someone is hurt then you can find a prefect or a teacher. The reason why you seek help is because you can find someone to help you or someone.Then you will feel better that you helped that other person or yourself.

Using your WITS is good for you and a  friends. Its good for everyone but mostly those who fight. Using your WITS has helped me a lot cause its all about Walking Away, Ignoring It, Talk About and Seeking Help. These all are good ways to help you to do the Pt England Way:)
