My First Blog reflection for Term 3 2018!
I am back from the holidays and at school. I am up and going for this new term for 2018. I have a lot of things to write down for what I found exciting for the holidays; today I am going to be telling you 2 things that made my short holidays the best!
The first thing that I had enjoyed about these holidays that before we went to Gisborne we had stayed at our nan and papa's house for 3 1/2 days. We had stayed there for 3 1/2 days because on Friday we had left Auckland and headed down to a small town where I am from which is known as, 'Opotiki'. I had lived in Opotiki for 6 years until we had moved to Auckland so we try to go there as much as we can! We stayed for Saturday because it was our papa's birthday and he was getting his gold card since he was turning 65. It was so much fun because all of our cousins came so we played a game of touch and our cousins that were brothers were the captains because they are the eldest out of us. It was so much fun but unfortunately our team had lost by 1 point but we carried on and started to play with our nieces and nephews who are about 0 - 4 years old but they are so adorable and fun to hang out with. It was about 1:00 pm so we were having hangi for lunch and then we moved to desserts that my sister, nan and I had prepared which were amazing! It was about 3 when we had the cake which was chocolate cake with vanilla and chocolate flowers created with icing on the sides. It was delicious.

It was Sunday the day after the party and we had started packing to go to Gisborne. There were 2 ways to go to Gisborne and 1 was through the forestry and the other one was in town. We decided to go through the town because my baby brother, Stephen, was only 1 month old so he was new to travelling and the town way was a much shorter way to get to Gisborne. We had got to Gisborne after about an hour and a half and all I did in the trip was reading my new book, 'Mysterious 4', which is a really good book; We had a house that we were renting for the week in not exactly in Gisborne but in this small town known as, 'Wainui'. Our house was huge and it had 3 bedrooms so me and my sister shared a room, my brother had his own room (Lucky him) and then my Mom, Dad and Stephen had the master bedroom (Also lucky). 2 days that I enjoyed while we were in Gisborne were Tuesday and Wednesday. I had enjoyed Tuesday because we had our grand-dad visited and so we went to the house and my dad and grand-dad had arrived with this delicious Chinese food. We had sat on the table that was outside to see the magnificent view, with all the tree's and the variety of colours which had created a marvellous sunset that I really loved. It was a fantastic time with grand-dad over. Now I really enjoyed Wednesday because the reason we were down at Gisborne was because my dad had to work so we had decided to come down with him like a family trip; Anywho since our dad had always been working we decided to go out to have lunch at this park just down the road from where my dad had been working we had gone to this field with a beach view and about 5 different parks that were spread out through the field. We were having pizza for lunch and while we were eating my Mom had got a message from dad saying that he wouldn't be able to make it. We were quite down but we just carried on with our lunch and enjoyed the time. I wish our dad could have come to the park.
Now that I have spoken about my holidays there are a lot of things that I am looking forward to for Term 3. I am looking forward to all the sports tournaments because there are heaps of them coming up and I absolutely are going to try and do them! I am also looking forward to going back to Technology because tech is a fun time to learn and be creative at the exact same time. 2 goals that I have for myself is to have a growth mindset towards Maths because I want to try my best to learn fractions and divisions but I might not be able to do that if I have a fixed mindset. My second goal is to try and be more social because as I have said before, I am socially awkward and don't know how to connect with people. I want to improve on showing Whanaungatanga.
I hope you have read this blog and get a glimpse of the holiday that I have had and enjoyed. Although the holidays were a lot of fun I am very excited to go to school, hang out with friends, experience more learning and hopefully accomplish my goals.

Good morning viewers, unicorns, aliens or what and whoever you are and welcome back to my blog!
The after effects of a flood:
Today I am going to be doing a blog about what we had learnt during our Cyber smart lesson yesterday. We were talking about how we should be careful about what we come across on the Internet and what we should be spreading on the Internet. Our WALT for that time of day was,
Today I will be sharing a reflection about our E-asttle Maths test from yesterday. Yesterday we had an E-asttle test just to test where we were during the half of the year. I was honestly very nervous because I did not want my levels to drop on maths.
I was in the middle of my test and as any other student and I knew I couldn't ask for help from my teachers or classmates so I was just sitting there trying to find out if this was a percent, fraction or a decimals problem, but just thinking and sitting there I knew I could solve the problem if I have just tried. So I was on my second to last question and I was thinking and as I looked at the timer it had said 5,4,3,2... and my test had automatically ended but was finished. I was quite mad since my test hadn't even finished and my timer just went out but hey I guess now I can move on.
Today I am going to be doing a blogpost about another natural disaster but this time I will be writing about... WILDFIRES/BUSHFIRES! I am going to be writing about wildfires/bushfires because I find them very interesting and I am very intrigued to learn about them. I do not know that much about bushfires but I know with a lot of research I can figure this puzzle out!
Wildfires are most commonly to occur due to lightning, volcanic eruptions and sadly also humans carelessness. An example of the human carelessness is that,
Something that I found challenging about this task was staying focused because I tend to get distracted easily which is not good since I am a student who takes there netbook home and is a student leader so I must focus on that which is my next learning steps.
The game we had played with the playing cards was this game that Akanesi showed us and it was called, 'Multiplication', so what we had to do was that we would pick a card from our piles that were flipped so we couldn't see the cards and whoever answered the numbers of the card and would multiply them first would win the cards. The 2 people that made it to the finals of this game were Akanesi and Grace. They were super competitive but Grace came out as the lucky winner.
The second game that we had played was a fraction game. The point of the game was that there was one player who had the words that spelt the fraction (Me) and there were 2 people (Grace and Leilani) who had the pictures which was a shape and a pizza and then there was just the person who had the plain fraction on its own (Akanesi). So I would put the card that I had down and Leilani, Akanesi and Grace had to compete to see who would put there card relating the card that I had put down and then we would swap and go clockwise around our square kind of shape which was really fun.
Talofa lava viewers, unicorns, aliens or who or whatever you are and welcome back to my blog!
The last fact that I have learnt are about where landslides are most likely to be located. The most common places that are located to have landslides are in the states, Alaska, Pacific coastal ranges and also Hawaii. They are most likely to get landslides since there hills and trees are very weak and are fractured which lead them to have more landslides than other countries, cities or towns!
As you know yesterday I had reached 600 blogs (Screams in excitement silently), well since I have reached 600 blogs I have decided to create a poster showing how long I have been blogging and who I would like to thank! I first started off from thanking my teachers and family for encouraging me too blog and to have fun at school to help me get into a possibly good college and university. I also wanted to say thank you to my role model, Willy Illy (an ex tamaki student), who inspired me to blog and make me want to be sure it was up to standard. I now wanted to thank my friends who inspired me to try my best to carry on blogging and gave me experiences to blog about!
I just want to say "Good Afternoon"! I know the weather has changed from rainy to sunny to rainy to sunny but that will not stop me from enjoying this amazing day!
I dare you to comment what you think I can improve on and what you are doing now whether it is breathing, blinking or just watching TV just lemme know!
