Today was our last hockey session. We were so lucky to have Kylie and      to come to PBS and teach us how to play a hockey game and teach us all the rules about hockey. One of the most important rules I remembered was you weren't allowed to put the stick up in the air. Everyone had a wonder sessions with Kylie and       . Thank you Kylie and  of you for wasting

your time and coming to teach us how to play hockey

E Group Reading Follow Up

For the last 2 weeks my reading group has been working on a multimodal reading task that our teacher created for us about pigeons. We had a question that we had to carry through out the whole 2 weeks and that was "are pigeons pests or specail". The whole readign group was split into 4 groups R-E-A-D.  We all had the same task.  We had to research and create DLO's to make an opinion.  My opinion is that I think pigeons are special because they were great helpers during the war.  Without pigeons included in the war many of the soldier would have died.  We had to work calloborativally as a group to get this task done.

Hockey

Yesterday the yr 8's had hockey with Kylie. First we had to crab a hockey stick and a ball to play with. We had to tried and beat the score we had on  our last hockey session last week by hitting the stick on the ball and tried to make it not fall, last week my score was 72 and yesterday I got 101. We then played a game which you have to tried protect your ball from other people before they hit it outside. Everyone enjoyed working together and defending themself, I was also happy because I beat my score last week wehich means I'm getting better and better.

E Group Reading Follow Up

For the past few weeks we have been learning about pigeons. We had to used our smart serching skills to find out information about pigeons. I learned a lot like how they risked there lives to send messages in WW1 & 2. This DLO have to be about our group opinion. This DLO was the last DLO for our topic. We have to write our own opinions about if you think pigeons are special or pests. I think pigeons are very special because they saved 194 lives in WW1 & WW2 even though they make a lot of mess like leaving guano on grounds or roof tops which destroys things because of their acidic, and that they cause diseases.

Frist Hockey Session

Today was our first session of hockey. We played a game called bull rush to warm us up. After playing bull rush, we had to practice some movement that we already practice before so that we can remember what hockey is, and how to play hockey. The new movent we learned today was the traffic light, there were 6 different light we learned today. The first light is green, green is you have to just walk slowly hitting the ball with your hockey stick. And Blue stand for roundabout, you have to walk in cirles,  silver is speed, orange is slow down,  purble is going backwits,  and red is you have to freeze. Everyone enjoyed playing to gether as a team and helping each other out.

Hyperbole

This week we started learning about hyperbole. This is a DLO that I created about hyperbole, hyperbole is when your making something look bigger than what it's actually is. This are some facts about hyperbole, and pictures that will make it easier for you to understand what it means.

Paper Planes

For this past few week's, we have been learning about paper planes. Today we got split into groups and see who's plane fly the furthest. In my group were Ana, Mere, Afu, Harry, Thomas, and Sylis. We all had a turn on throwing to see who's best at throwing, and that person will have to challenge the each person from every group. From our group, we chose Thomas because his plane flew the furthest. He had to challenge Zahn, Victoria, Latham, Gozan, and AJ. It was a challenging match against the other team, but Thomas from our team won, and Tai, and then Zahn.

Thank you to Mrs Ogilvie for coming and showing us this website so that whenever we need to use pictures we can just go to this website and use it from there.

Reading Challenge

For the past few weeks, we have been learning about skimming and scanning. The diffrence between skimming and scanning is that skimming is when your reading the whole text/story fast, and scanning is when your reading the text carefully and looking for more ideas. We split into groups so that we can help each other out. Our challenge was to complete 4 tasks. The first task was to read the story as a group and answer all the blank spaces on the story so that it will make sense. We work collaboratively together a group to finish our 4 challenges. We helped each other out and finished our work with a good score.

LI: To follow instructions and make sure we read for the meaning and understanding.

Tongan language week

Pourquoi Story

LI: To write a pourquoi (tell me why or how) story that follows the structure and paints a picture in the mind of the reader.

Your Challenge:

Use the story starters in the box (or choose one of your own) to practise using the language features found in a pourquoi story

A great pourquoi story has…

• A title
• A past tense sentence starter eg: Once upon a time…
• A sequence that can be followed from end to end
• Powerful words that are used to describe things in the story
• A final paragraph that sums up the whole pourquoi eg: …and that is why the elephant has a long trunk.

These story starters will help you to hook in your reader: Back, far back, in the mists of time when the world was very young... It is said, that... It is told that long ago... Many hundred years ago in a country across the sea, there lived... Somewhere, some place, beyond the Seven Seas...

See: Water, People, Gun, Foggy, Candle, tent,	Hear: People Shouting, People running.	Taste:
Smell: Sea, Foods	Feel: Nervous, Scared,	Ideas: Two countries fighting, Fight to protect the country, People’s nervous Trying to lead the country, One country win, Everyone live peacefully.

Title:	How the Uafu Amelika(American Wharf) came to Tonga.
Orientation: This sets the scene, creating a picture with words to describe the setting (where it takes place), atmosphere (it’s it scary, peaceful etc) and time of the story. Characters are introduced as well as clues about what is about to go wrong.	A Long, long time ago around World War Two, on a small island in the middle of the Pacific ocean was the beautiful Kingdom of Tonga. It was a sunny saturday morning in the city of Nuku’Alofa. Then all of a sudden a weird looking plane comes flying across the bright sky and flies away. This frightened the people of Nuku’Alofa and was very confusing...
Problem: This is where a problem happens that affects the setting, time or characters. Remember to use dialogue between characters to show what is happening.	The weird looking plane was then found out to be a Japanese plane. The people in Tonga did not know why this plane flew across the skies of Tonga. They soon figured that the Japanese were planning an attack on the Kingdom of Tonga to take over their country. The Americans told them this and came over with their Armies to protect the island of Tonga.
Sequence of events: This is where you describe what is happening in time order. Start a new paragraph for each new idea you are developing. Use a time connective here to link your ideas.	During that time, big countries like China, Russia, Afghanistan and Japan fought over the islands in the Pacific so that they could rule them and become more powerful.
Sequence of events: This is where you describe what is happening in time order. Start a new paragraph for each new idea you are developing. Use a time connective here to link your ideas.	The Japanese country fighted with other countries and whoever had more control got to rule to country. Going back to the time the Japanese wanted to conquer the Island of Tonga, but the American Army came and stayed in Tonga to protect them from the Japanese Armies. The Americans lived at a wharf in Nuku’Alofa city. The people in Tonga took care of them by providing them food, drink and shelter.
Resolution: The problem is solved and the story ends.	The Japanese failed to take over Tonga because of the help of the American Army. From that day, The King and people of Tonga named the wharf “Uafu Amelika,” which means “American Wharf,” in english. The issue was solved because if it wasn’t for the Americans, the Island of Tonga would be under the control of the Japanese. The Tongan people thank the Americans for protecting their land from the Japanese taking over.
Lesson Learnt: This is the message you want the reader to learn from what happened.	We should all learn from this problem. We do not have to fight with each other, we have to leave in peace. We are all human and we need to help others who are in need. Protect our environment and our country.

This is my proquar story for the Tongan languange week. For the past few weeks, we had been learning about what being a critical friends look like. Being a critical friend is about working with somemone you don't usually work with or know them very well. I worked with Sebastian, Sebastian was my critical friend we had to look into my porquar story to DRAFT it and to fix what right and whats wrong. We worked collobarativel together and finished our both porquar story.
