Today in our literacy class we have been writing speeches for a few weeks and presenting them to our literacy classes. My speech was about "Why It's important going to school". Today I gave my speech to my literacy class. I was really nervous. My score was 23/25 I am pretty proud with my score.
Last week on Friday the 25th of June we had Vas Kovalski come to Pt England School to host and perform a Magic Show. He performed a lot of Magic Tricks, that includes helping us balance our diet.
Normally in Magic Shows the audience would normally do wow and omg moments only but this magic show was about.. Balancing your diet.
I know your probably wondering who cares about having a diet. Well maybe you should start thinking about what could happen to your body. Having a diet will help you keep yourself active and if you keep focusing on lollies, chocolate, big bags of chips, junk food every night, things could possibly happen to your body.
He pulled out food from his magic box some and placed the food where it belonged on the different plates. For example he pulled out a carrot or corn so than he’ll place it on the vegetable plate category.
The great magician Vas Kovalski did many different magic tricks such as ‘The Bird’ that magic trick captured the audiences attention. He pulled the paper towel and a bird just came out flying.
He asked someone to volunteer themself to help him perform the trick, Lee volunteered. He had a cup in his hand and asked Lee to bend his right arm and his left arm going up and down. As Lee kept following those instructions by bending his arm, water started coming out of his left elbow and approaching into the cup.
My own advice for you to work on a balanced diet is: To work on your carbs, protein, fat, fibre, vitamins, and water. You should eat all your carbs not just the ones you like. Eating these types of foods to keep your body motivated and active will prevent you from diseases and infections. It’s those little foods that can matter can change someones life. The food you waste like the vegetables could change someones life, It’s not if you like it all or not you should eat the food that you've been provided with.
Vas Kovalski also did another magic trick which was about the rubix cube and the box. Vas than put the Rubix in the box and started shivering the box side to side he than opened the one side of the box and there was no rubix cube. We we’re all a bit confused on where the rubix cube went. As he was doing the magic trick he pulled it out of another box and we got confused how the rubix was in that box but wasn’t in the other box that it was in.
Vas Kovalski than asked another person from the audience to volunteer to come up to perform a magic trick with him. Emeline from Team 5 got chosen. Vas gave her an apron and a chef hat and a magic cloth. The Magic cloth could change colours. But Emeline’s cloth was only changing to blue, red and white. Vas cloth was changing to different colours like Grey, purple and teal, although on the other hand, Emeline was really confused about the cloths, It wasn’t her being confused making the trick funny it was her facial expressions making it more funny. Although the magic trick was amusing.
Title: Being a Prefect is a Huge Opportunity
Intro: I’ll be talking about my qualities in b eing a prefect.
Kia Ora Readers,
At Point England School we have 3 different types of leader roles in students related. There are Prefects, House Captains and Rangatahi. I am going to talk about the prefect role that I had the chance to be apart of for Point England in 2021.
Having the prefect role is a huge responsibility and a huge opportunity for you to have. To get the Prefects role, it’s not to be smart or being intelligent. To get the prefect position and role you need to have a application. What I mean by application is you need to write some detailed information and sentences about yourself and send it to the school principal Mr Burt.
Once he reads your application he’ll respond to you and say something like excellent! Amazing! Good Job! That’s a sign he’s proud of what you wrote down. A few days later, he’ll bring twp separate groups the boys group and the girls group. The boys & girls are not random people put into a group, the people are the applicants. Once you’re in his meeting he’ll tell you some questions about being a prefect, like how could you make the school a better place ? He than will announce you at the school prize giving.
The Prize Giving is a very special event in schools. It’s a result for your year. Mr Burt will call out the girls and boys prefect team. When I heard my name was called out, I was in dis belief. I was so excited that i was going to take charge of the school with the other prefect team. The Prefects have to do a korero for the school. They have to make presentations, movies & slideshows before every friday. Every friday in this whole year (not all but most) the prefects have to come up with a korero for the school. Something reasonable some responsible and something that people will actually listen to.
Conclusion:
Being a prefect is not to only be good at school, It’s also to be good at home.
To be a prefect It’s not only to be smart and to be intelligent, It’s to be responsible and to set good examples for the school.

Why does Matter matter ?
The three basic properties of matter are Volume, Mass and Shape.
All matter is made up of tiny particles called Atoms
Volume is the amount of Space that matter takes up
Mass is the amount of matter an object has
Liquids take the shape of their container.
Gases do not have a definite shape or volume.
Liquids do not have a definite shape, but they do have a definite volume.
Solids have a definite shape and volume.
A ice and a chair are examples of solids.
Water and Milk are examples of liquids.
Oxygen and Helium are examples of gas.
Solid ice is melting when It is changing into a liquid.
-----------------
This is the task my class Room 4 did this morning. We had to answer these questions based about Matter. A fact that I learnt during this task is, three states of matter are liquid, solid and gas. The three basic properties of matter is Volume, Mass and Shape.

Year 8 Experience.
This is going to be one of my memories to cherish. This is going to be a long blog as I want to introduce and explain my features and my experience from year 8 camp.
I was really nervous when we arrived! I was so confused which one was my cabin although I knew who was in my cabin. I was in a cabin with 9 other people plus me which would equal 10.
Our first sleep was really terrible! well for the boys at least. The girls had a good sleep but not the boys, let's say it was a really rough first sleep. I couldn't sleep from all the noises for the next 2 cabins, my whole cabin woke up from the noises and we were all frustrated.
My first highlight has to defiantly be go-karts. My whole team Thames B went go-karts, we all had 2 turns. Our team was really encouraging and helpful, we cheered each other on, encouraged and screamed go! to the person that's going. We all had 2 turns even if we didn't want to have a go. Listen to Mr. Jacobson's words: Smooth and Calm.
My second highlight has to also be the meals or food we should say. I loved how the chefs used up all their time to cook for all the year 8's. The chefs really did get my attention. They cooked the meals perfectly, I really enjoyed eating food made by their hands.
My third highlight is the gym. The first day of our camp our first activity was in the gym. All 4 teams had to make a chant for their group. The tutors explained the 3 or 4 activities that we did. The activities were called Cross-games. My favourite activity was when you drag the your lightest teammates on a mat and the 2 strongest have to drag you on the side around the 4 big tires. When the timer has run out all the team teachers have to tell the tutors how many times their group went around the tires.
