The story of Elsa,Anna and tarzan.


Once upon a time there lived two sisters named Elsa and Anna.They lived in a castle with there  parents.One day there parents left on a ship to go two there niece (rapunzel's) Wedding. As they were on there way to the wedding they ended up in a really big storm.And the ship sank.The ship sunk down to the bottom of King Triton's sea.That ship also happened to be the ship that Ariel explores in the little mermaid. Everybody thought that Elsa and Anna’s Parents were dead. But they were actually alive.They washed upon shore and happend to give birth to a son named Tarzan.So that means Tarzan,Elsa and Anna are brother and sisters, and Rapunzel is there cousin.

When you first start at Pt England you are given a house colour and every athletics day you have to dress up in that house  colour.When I started Pt England I got given a house colour which was Hikianalia (Yellow). I didn't have any yellow things to wear so I chose to wear all
the colours.


You are also split with your year group and every activity that you go to is in your own year group. I was with my year 7 girls. The first activity that we went to was softball throw and the last activity that we did was Javelin.


My favourite activity was relays.In relays you have a pipe that is your house colour. And you have to run to where ever you have to run to and then you run back and give it to you buddy and they run and do it. And the first group to be sitting down with there hands on there heads are the winners.

At the end of athletics we went back to our normal classes. When we got back to team 5, The whole block had Ice Blocks. Next week on the 23rd of November me and some other students have got the oppurtunity to go to the Interzone athletics.

What does MMP stand for? MMP stands for Mixed Member Proportional.

In the MMP system you have 2 votes, the first vote is for the party that you prefer, this is the vote that largely decides the total number of seats each party will have of the 120 seats in parliament.The second vote is to choose a person to represent your local electric in parliament under MMP NZ is divided into 70 electrics.Who ever gets the most votes will become your local MP.

To get any seats in parliament a party must reach at least 5% or more of the the party vote or with an electric seat.If 30% of us vote for Labour then it will fill 40% of the all the seats in parliament,If 10% of us vote for National the it will fill up 10% of the seats.

Film Festival Secrets

In the past few weeks room 4 and our teacher Mrs Judd, have been very busy working on our film festival movie. Mrs Judd and room 4 came up with the idea of doing a blindfolded eating test.

Mrs Judd pulled 3 people at a time out of class and into the tusitala to test the food blindfolded.When I finally got called to go to the tusitala, I had butterflies in my stomach because I was scared of what Mrs Judd was going to give us.

There was one thing that we had to taste and we had to pass it down the table and when it got to me, It felt really squishy and gross and if you are dying to know what it is then you can watch our film festival movie.

The nicest thing that we tasted would of had to be the Jelly because it tasted like L&P and it was super nice.The food that we tasted was:
Date,Jelly,Mango Chilli slices and a Mystery Food.

Edit Writing

Today we are having a writing test, In this writing test I am going to be writing about a special place that I like to go to.

My special place is called Pt England Beach. Every now and then me and my family go to the Pt England Beach. The last time we went to the beach was……. A few weeks ago. There are lots of things to do at the beach for example you could swim,fish,pick shells and other cool things.

The thing that I find special about the beach is all the fun and cool things I can do with my family and even my friends. Something else I find special about the beach it how much time I spend with my family.

When me and my family were at the beach we played a lot of games. My favourite game that I liked playing was dodge ball. After we played sports we got changed into our togs and went for a swim.

As we were swimming we saw a lady on a horse. I jumped out the water and asked the lady if I could pet the horse. And the lady said yes.”What is its name” I said “her name is diamond” the lady said. What a beautiful name I thought.

Well after we said “Hi” to the horse I stayed out of the water for a bit (oh yes) that's another thing I find special about the beach is getting to see all the sea creatures and the nice people. While I was out of the water I was building sand castles and collecting shells to decorate my sand castle.

When that day was finally over I came home thinking about what a special place Pt England beach is. And i will never forget how special it is.

Well thank you for reading my writing hope you liked it. Let me know below what you thought of my text. And maybe chuck in what your special place is.
