Getting Braces

Getting Braces

First day back to Pt England School in term 3 ready to learn much more. Heading to the hall to start Immersion assembly and started the day. Ms Tito comes out from one side of the stage to get on her triathlon bike that she uses in the triathlon. While she was peddling in the same spot Mr Jacobson came down the aisle on his Mountain bike.

While watching everything that is going on in assembly, my fabulous mother came to pick me up from school. Jumping into the car to go somewhere, I ask my mum “Where we are going?” My Mum replied “remember where going to your Orthodontist appointment!!!.”  Arriving to the Orthodontist with nerves shaking through me just because I'm getting Braces. I won’t be at school for an hour and a half at least.

Pressing the number three on the elevator to go to the highest floor in the building. Keeping in mind, that I'm going to have two appointments. The first appointment is getting my teeth to be as white as snow. The reason that your teeth have to be so white is so that the Braces can stick to them. It was at least 30 minutes or more and I had to open my mouth as far as I could open it for. I had to leave it open for 45 minutes and my mouth was sore.

Then after 10 minutes it was time for everything to change. So, I had to choose two colours for my Braces, I choose orange and yellow. Next, I had to have two people put my Braces. One person was getting the tools and handing it over to the other person, the other person was doing all of this crazy stuff with crazy tools.  But.  I couldn't see what I was going on. Finally they had finished but when they did I took the glasses off, and couldn't see where I was going.

Hopefully no one laughs at me.  

The Skatepark!!!!

Zigging and zagging through the difficult Skatepark going around the fierce turns and jumps. Shaking with nerves up and down my spine ready to go down a steep ramp. Pushing very gently to go down the scary ramp. Speeding down like a jet in full speed trying to control the speed in a speedy Skatepark.

My precious family and I got used to the skatepark because we went there three days in a row. There were plenty of others who also came to master their skills. Me and my family were having the time of our lives. While having the time of our lives we were skating the long turns which were as easy as cake. The jumps were about 2 meters high and I nailed it.

That tells you that if you keep your mind to it you can accomplish anything. An example if you wanted to get a try in rugby then you have to keep it in your mind and then the magic happens. At the end you would have scored many tries. There are many things that can be accomplished but only if you keep your mind to whatever it is.

Skating is a skill and it is pretty hard but in my family we say “I will or I won't” instead of “I can’t.” That means give it a go. If you come across a Skatepark then give it a go and have fun. I look forward to see you doing your tricks on a skateboard.

Term 2 Reflection!!!!

Term 2 Reflection

This term we learnt about sound. There were many things I did and learnt about Sound. What I did know is that sound travels in sound waves. Sound waves travel through the air it has an average velocity of 343 meters per second. What I learnt about sound is how we hear sound, and it travels through our Ear Canal and hits the Eardrum, then it makes the Hammer vibrate so it makes the Anvil vibrates and then the Stirrup vibrates and continues vibrating through the Cochlea and through the nerves and connects to the brain.

Every Thursday class 3 and 5 go to Technology at Tamaki College and I love it. I have just finished Food Tech were you bake, cook and I just think it is the bomb. We made Fried Rice, Cookies, and a whole lot more. Right now I’m in Graphics where we draw, sketch, design and it’s cool. We have three rotations in Technology it is Food Tech, Graphics, and last but not least Hard Materials. Hard Materials is my last rotation for 2014.

I like Maori because I’m in the Senior Kapa Haka and it is the bomb. Recently we went to a opening for a Dental Program. We also have Maori with our Maori teacher, and we are learning to count in Maori Recently I was at a marae performing and I wasn’t nervous at all. There was many waiata to learn, and I mastered them with some help. Every year the Senior Kapa Haka goes to that marae in Glen Innes.

Can’t wait to tell you how awesome this term has been.

How to make a Pan Flute!!!!!!

What I’ll need is eighteen straws, one roll of tape, one per of scissors, two felts and one vivid, and one ruler. Just what I need to create my Pan Flute. I get the first straw and place it down and leave it then I get another one and cut two or five centre

meters down from each other. I keep doing it until the ninth one.

Then I get the tape and leave a gap and then tape it and cut it with the scissors. I do that until I reach to the bottom. Then I get the vivid and felts and I do curls. I’ll do whatever design that I wont on the front and back.

So now I have nine straws left what do I do with them you think? I make another Pan Flute and tape the straws together. Then I have two Pan Flutes. I put them together and it is my one and only double Pan Flute.

So when my teacher ask me what have you made and have you copied anyone? I’ll say I have made an instrument and I didn't copy at all. Since it is a class thing that everyone had do. Hopefully no one copied me.

Have a great day and comment if you ever get to make your own Instrument.

Science Road Show!!!!!!!

This very exciting thing happened to class five, and two from Pt England School. We went to Tamaki College to see the Science Road Show and man something's were awesome and some weren't. An hour and a half is how long we would be there for. By the way a whole lot of other Point England students said that some of the things they do are loud, awesome, yuck and creative.

Have you ever been to a Science Road Show before? I havn’t. I just couldn't wait to see their creative things that they had made. So sitting down in front of the speakers who tells you what they are going to do and things they will do. There was three people in the Science Road Show and they got me interested.

First there was some experiment’s they did in front of us. Also there were some things that they set up for us and they looked incredible. Then everyone got into and had a great time with their experiment’s and my all time favourite was where there was three mirrors and it looked like there was twenty mirrors and a lot of me’s.

Then the last experiment they did was with balloons. They put it on fire and we had to cover our ears. POP!!!!!!!! Man that is loud but that was just the first balloon out of two. The last one was so loud you could hear it even when you cover your ears. You could feel the heat bursting onto you.

I learn't that plants are kind of like us but they grow using heat, water, and carbon dioxide to breath. It is pretty much the same why we grow.

They said that it was the end of the Science Road Show and they’ll be at Motat.
