Athletics Day 2017

WALT - Take care of the little things in our writing

Last week on the 10th of November 2017, Pt England had their annual school athletics day.Once a year Pt England always has there School athletics day.There are different kind of activities that the whole school participates in.

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.

Catching Flounder

This Morning Pt England School went to the Beach to watch some of our students and teachers catch some Flounder.First we lined up out on the hard courts to listen to the instructions that Mr Burt was giving us. When he was finished giving out instructions, Year 1 went out to the crossing and they were of to the beach. Then it was Year 2,Year 3 and so on. When we got to the beach we sang a waiata and then we said a karakia. After that we were on our way back to school.We are only catching baby Flounder and we are putting them in our tank, and when they are bigger we are going to give them back to the ocean.The other school caught 4 Flounder. And we were trying our best to beat them and we did. YAYYYY!!!!

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.

MY AWESOME DAY AT POLYFEST

Yesterday Morning team 5 had been given the chance to go to the 2017 Polyfest. While we were there we got to walk around and look and all the different stores and activities and we also got to see some performances.

My first highlight of that day was going to get the flava tattoo. I got my flava tattoo on my right arm.When the tattoo was done we got to go in to a little van that had a video game called street fighter. I was about to play but I did not want to.

My second highlight of the day was playing jenga. We had to try and get as high as we could. We were so close to betting the other school but it all fell down.

After we had lunch we got some little ASB bags. Inside the bags were, Glasses,Sunscreen,Fan,Pamflet and a Hacky sack

The Most favourite part of the day was spending it with all my friends and my teachers.

This years polyfest was fun. I can not wait until we go next year.
