What are some non-physical things that are important to you, for example, family time, music, happiness, hopes, dreams?

If you had to leave home suddenly, what would you miss most and why?

My 5-10 things I would carry would be a photo of my family, my ps4, my phone, my shoes, my controller, my chromebook, my charger.

My Favourite Timeline

 Personal Timeline

Compile a timeline of the personal highlights in your life so far, for example: Your first bicycle, a memorable family holiday, your first day at school, your sports achievement, your favourite birthday party to date etc.

Choose any google app to create your timeline on.

Be creative, share things you are proud of, SHARE YOUR STORY!

One of my best timelines is me knowing how to ride a bike. Because I was with my cousins Makisha and metua. They were learning with me. They helped me when I fell, They picked me back up, They made sure it was safe for me. My other favourite timeline was my first day of school. When I first came to Glen Taylor School I cried but my cousin Metua made me comfortable on my first day. He helped me get to know other kids. I love my cousins. They are the best cousins in the world.

I Am Poem

                                           I Am

I am Cook Island Samoan

I wonder if I am from another island in the Cook Islands

I hear my family speaking Cook Island or Samoan

I see my friends playing fortnite with me

I want to become a rugby player when I grow up

I am Cook Island Samoan

I pretend I am scared but actually I am not 

I feel happy when I see my family or friends getting a reward 

I touch my cultural flags to show that I am a proud Cook Islander

I cry when I am getting picked on or when I'm sad

I am Cook Island Samoan

I understand when my family and friends are going through hard times

I say I love you to my parents 

I dream to be a good student one day

I try my best to succeed sometimes

I hope my dream will come true

I am Cook Island Samoan

Trip to Nz Auckland Olympic

 Thursday 5th August 2021

On Monday 2nd of August Glentaylor’s senior syndicate and middle syndicate went on a trip to visit the Nz olympic auckland team. There were alot of games there. When we got there we made two lines and lined up. The lady told us to walk inside and then a man led us to where you put your bags down. We put our bags down and went to sit down. We all sat down then a famous olympic from NZ was on the stage right in front of us. She was a boxer and told us some stuff about her. We asked her some questions then after that we went off to play some games. We played mini hoops and some games that were on a screen but if you moved it would move too. There were balance logs and many more games. There was also a small boxing arena where everybody went to box. We weren't going serious though because we were going to save it. After that we walked outside and took a photo in front of the building, then after that we walked onto the busses and sat down with our friends. The bus drivers took us back to school safely. We got to school and ate our lunch and mucked around for a bit then we got called to go back to class. We had a lot of fun on the trip. We hope to go there again.

Technology (science)

this morning we went to tamaki college for technology. I was in science with my friends. each person got put into groups. I was with Sifa because there were no other groups to join. Each group got to do a experiment. One group did pulse rates, another group did length and height, Then the last group the tasting sensitivity. Sifa and I did tasting sensitivity. We had to taste liquid and guess what taste it is. There were bitter, sour, sweet, salty, and acidic. After we tasted the liquid we had to right from A to B what taste were they. Were they bitter, bitter weak or bitter strong. Or were they sweet, sweet weak, or sweet strong. Then when we finished we got told the correct answer by Doctor Yahnee, then we saw the answers and checked if we got it right. I got them all right but i didn't do the weak or strong. What i investigated in this experiment is that we have different taste buds and that our taste is different. We also learned that you cant always tell the difference between strong or weak. Then after tech we had to walk all the way up the hill back to school. It was tiring and hot, but it was a beautiful day outside watching the people smile at me.

Monopoly maths yesterday

 Yesterday for our maths room 12 played monopoly. Our teacher Miss Pohlen explained to us the rules but most of us already knew how to play. So we started, my friend Natalie was the banker so she had to give us money if we had change or give us our hotels or apartments. Nobody one because we had to go somewhere. But it was really fun.
