Rock Climbing

This is a presentation informing you about what Rock climbing is. The inspired quote we took on making this was 'Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go' quoted by William Feather. I hope you enjoy this informative presentation :)

Should P.E.S Be A Single Gender School?

Topic Subject: Should P.E.S Be A Single Gender School?

From my perspective I think that P.E.S should definitely be an only girls school. Things would be more assorted properly, and it would be more nicer if girls only attended this school.

If it was a school mixed with boys and girls the female gender wouldn’t focus on their work as much as if they had girl mates supporting them all the way. Therefore if Pt England were an all girls school girls would work with each other to finish off their work together.

The downside to having an all girls school is the fact that girls always start dramas and gossip, which isn’t really nice. As well as fights, and girls not minding their own business, which lead to arguments, and parents getting called in.

But the upside if Pt England were to be an all girls school is that more girls would be much more focused towards their work, and be more confident and out there with their ideas. But if boys also attended the school they would have the urge to put down the girls if they had an idea to share. Which is a major distraction for the girls. And also if it were an only girls school, girls would be focused on their work more, which would lead to better exam results. Which is the best thing for girls futures.

This is my explanation to why Pt England should be an only girls school.

Mary & Rita Fairytale Mash-Up

Once upon a time there lived a pleasant, yet kind and graceful girl named Rose. She was an only child, and the only child her father could ever have, since her mother had passed away giving birth to her. She was the most strikingly feminine girl in her town, which caused her to become a main attraction at times. Rose on the other hand didn't like to be noticed. She kept herself humble, and kept her head low, so nobody would see her. But despite this, everyone noticed her.

She attended college and worked at a part time job as a pizza delivery girl. Her life was good. She was grateful for anything that fell her way. And on one specific day, while she was working, she was assigned to deliver to a house where no one hardly ever goes. A house known to be owned by a beast.

As Rose approached the large old fashioned mansion her palms began to sweat. Holding the pizza’s, she clenched one hand and made a fist ready to knock on the dusty door. But instead she used the doorbell. A loud chiming noise came from the inside of the house. Within seconds a beast appeared at the door. She didn’t find him as scary as others would describe, instead she felt a warm feeling that she had never felt before. She gave him his pizza and was about to turn away when he spoke and said “would you like to stay for dinner?” She was pleased and decided to stay.

Rose not like other girls, didn’t really mind the looks, but took most interest in what was on the inside.

His house inside was very nice. Things were set better than how it was displayed from the outside. Rose sat at the table with him eating. Things weren’t as awkward as expected. But instead the both of them felt it, that warm nice vibe. “Well thank-you for coming inside to have dinner with me. My name is Princeton, and I don’t often have visitors.” “Well thank-you for letting me in. Tonight was nice and I had a nice time.”

As soon as she had finished she decided to be heading off. He asked her once again if he could see her for dinner the next day. She gladly agreed and left.

The next day came and she was called in for work again. Rose delivered to a house that was owned by 7 dwarves. Grumpy answered the door and kindly took the pizza’s and paid for them. Then he asked her if she wanted to stay for dinner. She gladly replied with no. Grumpy asked her one more time, hoping she’d say yes, but again she replied no. She was eager to turn and leave when BAM! It was pitch black, her face was covered with a black sock. She was screaming from shock.

‘HELP!” she screamed out once more before she could feel herself being dragged into the house. She kicked, and kicked, and kicked but nothing was useful. She then was slumped in the corner of a room, and given space. The mask was taken off of her and a blinding light was flashed into her face, she screamed, louder than her screams ever were before.

Princeton was dusting around the mansion, getting ready for Rose’s arrival, when he heard a familiar voice scream. He suddenly knew Rose was in trouble. He dropped everything and ran out the door to where the scream had came from. Meanwhile Beauty was still kicking and punching to try and escape, she was trying every fighting skill she knew but the dwarfs were just too strong.

This is our group planed storyboard for our movie trailer of our mashed up fairytale. Vivienne, Shoal and I have all worked hard on planning this during our Literacy hour with Miss King.

Makerita's Prospective Writing

Tom was quite the hiker, but even for him climbing this very cliff was hard. He had spent days, and nights diligently searching for a particular martial art school he had been longing to attend. And finally as he had reached the top of a lofty peak, his search had come to an end. The martial arts school was in sight.

He dragged himself towards the school determined to reach it. When he finally reached the door he simply knocked. Will they open the door? Will I get rejected? Should I turn back now? He anxiously waited for someone to answer the door. Then the door started to creak open, and a tall figured man appeared through the entrance. Tom didn’t know what to do, so he stood there and bowed down in a respected matter. But the man stood with a straight face and pointed directly to his right. Then slammed the door.

Tom felt down. And felt as if he wasn’t ready to enter his dojo. And that he had to prove worthy enough to enter. So he sat down and humbled himself. Then decided to meditate. He kept this going over night, and just half way through the next day. The silence broke when the same man opened the door and stood in the middle of the entrance once again. Tom raised his head and glared at the mans eyes, hoping he’ll let him in this time. But the same actions occurred within the 2 seconds. He raised his arm to his right, and as soon as that happened Tom soul was once again crushed.  

With a heavy heart Tom stood up and dragged himself towards the stairs leading away from the Dojo. Then with one last thought his emotions changed. He clenched his fists, he darkened his eyes, and turned sharply around. He staunchly walked to the door and kicked it right open. When the man appeared once again through the doorway he made a swaying motion displaying as if he would want to be challenging the tall man to a fight.

Then again he pointed to his right. Tom glared to where he was pointing and read a sign. It had said ‘Please use the side door’. Tom looked down, and made a facial of sorrowfulness. He wasn’t listening to the man the whole time, or in other words looking to where the man was pointing. And finally when he did, he had already done something wrong. Too late.

This is what the B1 class did with Mrs Nua. It is about two cereals we had to try and compare.

What is 'Protein' and why do we need it?

Today for our literacy class we were in Mrs Lagitupu's. We got the opportunity to research upon the subject that we had to choose from a list. My group which consisted of Brooklyn, Ata, Jay'lee and I chose to research 'What is Protein and why do we need it?' The presentation above shows you what we made. I really enjoyed working together in a group with them, and hopefully in our next we could work together again. Hope you enjoy the presentation.
