👑Now that it is the last term of 2018 and us yr 8's are going to college next year. We have a lot of exams going on this term. I feel nervous,scared,anxious,terrified and frightened at the same time. When my first test got handed out onto my desk I was shaking!! then I thought to myself "I can do it!". When our results were up I was actually very proud of myself!!.👑

HAPPY TONGAN LANGUAGE WEEK!!!✨✨🇹🇴🇹🇴🇹🇴

Malo E Lelei as you all know it is Tongan language week and we are all dressed in Tongan costumes. Izabella and I have planned to bring Tongan costumes to school and show and tell to all the rooms. First me and Izabella went to get dressed into our lovely costumes. Now that our costumes are on it time to take picture then talk about what we are wearing. First we went into room 12,10,9 and the juniors. It was a pleasure visiting all the classes and teaching them new things. Lucky last we went to Mrs Brough and did the same thing which was explaining what we were wearing which was a kiekie,tekiteki,tauvala and a kafa.

Paper Basket

On Friday afternoon we did art. For art we  did a paper basket. First we had to cut long strips then set it in a pattern then we plat it basically going up and down. After all our strips are in we then have to bend the side carefully and make sure t doesn't come out. After its all in we then carefully get our other strips then do the same on the sides then glue it in side by side. When it is in you then can get a different color strip or the same and stick it around the basket for a handle then you are done!.

Farewell For Jess

On Friday the 15th of June, we had our last hip hop class with coach Jess. We first went through all our moves we had learned with Jess which was, Uptown Funk, by Bureno Mars. After that we did our dance with he song called Manolo. First it was very difficult to learn, but when we kept practicing it got a lot easier to do. When we finished our dancing and it was time for Saluselo to give the card and say Thank You.

Cooking With Mrs Tuipolotu!!

At Tech we made a quiche pie. First we had to chop our bacon. We took out our large bowl then added one cup of milk into it. Next we added four eggs then whisk. After its whisked we took our bowl back to our table. We circled our pastry into 12 pieces then we placed it into our muffin tray. After that we put our stuffing in. Our stuffing was bacon and cheese then we added in our egg and milk mixture to the top. Then it was time to put it in the oven and watch it rise.

We Are Now Doing Cooking!!☺

Today we went to tech. The thing we made was Pasta with Mince. 

The first step we had to do was cut the onions then with the chopped onions we had to put it into the frying pan. After that we had to wait for Mrs Tuipolotu to put some cooking oil in the pan for our onions. After our onions went soft we had to add in the mince and mix it around until it was cooked. When the mince was cooked we then added  the cheese and mixed again until it was melted and soft. While waiting for it to cook we had to get our pot and put our pasta in with boiling water. After we did that I had to watch the mince and cheese to see if it was cooked. When it was cooked we had to go get some salt and pepper and put it in our cooking and then the last step to our mince and cheese was to add half of a can of tomato sauce. Then we had to keep on mixing until it was soft. Next we had to  put the mince and cheese a side and then focus on the pasta. After the pasta was soft we  had to add it in together with the mince and cheese and then we had to taste and write our results on our blog.☺

Football Tournaments♡

On Wednesday 16th of May 2018 we went to a football tournament at Point England Reserve. When we first got there we had to drop our bag and go and practise. While we were practising we heard the siren go so we had to stop then the real game started. First we were playing against Panmure District and we won. The scores were 6 nil then afterwards we had a break. The other games were pretty tough because we mostly played against good people.
I Enjoyed It♡♡

Tech

Today we went to tech by bus to Tamaki Collage. What we made with Mr Grundy was a metal silver necklace, but for those who didn't bring their Chromebook they had to design their own necklace. The thing that came to my mind was making a heart necklace ❤.
 Then it was time to pack up and leave and I didn't get time to make my necklace, but I was told that I will make it next week 😊.

Syndacit Assembly

On Monday afternoon we had our syndacit assembly hosted by room 10. First we started off with a song then after the song we did a dance battle. The assistance from room 9 was Peter and Iosefo, room 10 was Elemoni and Kaimani, room 12 was Peni and Pupuke. First it was room 9 vs room 10 and whoever won from there had to vs room 12. After the dance battle the teachers had to vote they all voted for room 9 so obviously room 9 had to vs room 12. When the song was on Pupuke was already on to it but Peni was pathetic as always. After the dance battle we finished of with a lovely song called This Is Us by Keala Settle then it was time to go back to our classes.
