Tinā

This morning Rm 7 and 8 went to Due Drop Centre to watch Tinā. It was spectacular and nice to meet other different schools. When we entered, my leg trembled with excitement.

Tinā was a movie that I never expected to be a movie of Humility, Alofa and Respect. I really like how Sophie’s teacher told them to not let your team mates down, and how the two students left reunited with their teacher again. I was crying at the beginning because it’s how Tinā’s daughter died in an earthquake,  and how Tinā knelt down and cried in despair. But wherever Tinā went she saw her daughter everywhere she went.  Tinā felt like her daughter was present with her, I felt bad because I know how it feels to lose a relative of yours  but you can still see them where ever  you go.

At the end of the movie it was heart warming, because it was how Sophie sang with pride and respect. That was the part  that I liked and how they sang Musu E as a team and sang it for Tinā. I really enjoyed many things from the movie Tinā.

St Phoebe

Phoebe was a prominent figure in the early Christian church. She was known for her service, generosity and role as a deaconess She was entrusted by the Apostle Paul to deliver his letter to the Romans, and she was also a benefactor to many, including Paul himself. Paul regarded her as a sister in the Lord and entrusted her with a significant role in delivering his letter to the Romans. Here are some facts about Phoebe. We have been having fun with our DLO we are gladly to learn more and develop more interesting things.

Waka Hourua

This is my waka hourua, Me and my partner Samantha planned first before we built it. First we drew the waka we were also talking about how we should build it, after that we started collecting cardboard and stuff.  Me and my partner, got to work we had so much fun and it was a little bit exhausting. When we finished painting our waka, my partner and my partner left it so the paint could dry after that we took photos of people with their waka. I really had fun and I really Observed from other people’s waka it was very fun, I experienced many facts about waka I wonder if we are doing it again.

Great Beginnings

The Graveyard was silent that dawn, The only sound was whispers.

The Grass was horrific and long, Soft Foggy enfolded it felt like I’ve been watched like someone is running behind me, and all around the trees and trying to kidnap me.

Bella felt really scared but she only went there to see her dead Father,  that took care of her and treated her nicely ever since her mum died, until she saw a path she wondered and asked herself.

“What does this path lead to, it is very odd around here I’ve never seen it before?”

 

Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

For the past few weeks, our class has been learning about Peacock Mantis Shrimp.

This animal is a very interesting creature. It is not a Mantis nor a shrimp. Instead, it belongs to a group of crustaceans called stomatopods. The mantis shrimp is 6 inches long, the biggest problem right now is, it is armed with the most sophisticated vision of any predator and the fastest strike. Their eyes  work independently together to better target their prey, eyes detect more colors than any creatures.

They can see polarized light he pulls out the ace of his sleeve, hammer claws their spring loaded clubs strike 50 there are over 450 species of mantis shrimp some mantis shrimp possess deadly clubs, they are native to warm water  of the Indian Pacific they are basically found on reefs in sand and rubble area’s with several hiding spots to hide in.

The males are usually brighter than the females, with juveniles having more of a yellowish color Mantis Shrimp have excellent eyesight with large eyes, mounted on stalks that can swivel to give almost 360 degrees of vision  mantis shrimp has been known to attack and the injured  divers who approach too close. 

 

Sign Language

On Friday I learned how to add a video of me on my blog.

I’ve been having fun doing sign language I really like the  talking sign language because it is very easy to act out, I  got  stuck on the worried, how are you and excited it took time for me to learn but after trying I finally got it and especially the one with talk it was very simple to act I hope, to do this again when I am on free time.

My chubby Panda

I went to the zoo and I learned that panda’s like eating bamboo, and that a baby panda is called a cub, this is very important because when you are at the zoo an  d your manager says to feed the panda’s, we might not know what they eat. What was fun that I experience lot more about, pandas and also research about them. But the thing that was challenging was to add the pictures it was a bit hard, my next step is to learn more about what they do on summer.
