✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧Inquiry-How to take of your Te Whare Tapu Wha✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧

Task Description: Kia Ora Everyone!! Welcome back to my blog and this is my first Inquiry/DLO blog post!!!! Anyways for Pt England School focus is Joy and the Maori version is Koa Koa Mai Koa Koa atu!! Team 5 main focus for Inquiry is about how to take care of your Te Whare Tapu Wha!! We had to record ourselves either at home or at school on Google Vids or Imovie. I used Google Vids because it’s way way easier than Imovie and plus I don’t always have to go on the Flat Screens at school. I couldn’t really add some of the graphics or texts because I don’t really know how to use it’s not really the same as Imovie because I mostly use Imovie and we have an event the coming up so the practise takes most of our inquiry time:(

Reflection Time!!

I really enjoy using Google Vids. My higlight was recording myself and talking about how I usually look after my wellbeings. Something I could really work on is learning how to use Google Vids so I can be like a pro but right now I am a beginner!!

I hope you enjoy watching myself talking about my Te Whare Tapu Wha!! Have a fabulous day(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ🍪

✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧Writing: Creative Writing✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧

Task Description: Kia Ora Everyone!!!! Welcome back to my blog for today’s post I finished my writing. Our writing topic is just creative writing. I choose my writing to be narrative writing. I chose an image  that people are just swimming in the sink!!!! Anyways I hope you enjoy my writing!!!

One sunny afternoon I heard the sink in my bathroom running. I was so confused there was no one upstairs that would be running the sink for that long. I went upstairs and went in the bathroom and gosh the floor and soaking wet!!! There was people in the sink swimming. I called my mum and told her what happened but she didn’t believe me so I told her to go upstairs and checked. She went upstairs and I followed behind her. Her reaction was always excepted yelling like this “ What the why is the floor soaking wet??? 

 

My dad and my sister come and their reaction is priceless too. I went over and said to the people who were swimming. “ Who are you and why are you swimming in my family’s sink? The people were staring like they were ignoring me then I shouted the same thing. This time they heard me. “ What do you think you are doing here?” said the tiny man. I was shocked when he said that I replied with “I live here you don’t?” My mum jumped in and started to yell at the tiny people. “ Mum let me talk to these strangers, don’t yell at anyone you can always yell at me Khaing-May and dad.

I thought to myself you know what, let’s just take out the plug. I put my hand inside the water and the tiny people were trying to stop me from draining the water. They tried to grab my hand but tiny hands couldn’t stop me. But then a man said to me “ Wait, don’t drain the water we really want to swim” That excuse didn’t really convince me. I pulled out the plug and all the water went down. 

 

All the kids were upset, even the adults. My sister went up to them and said “ Can you please go out, we need to clean up this mess” All of them left and then I realised it was all just a dream. I said to myself “ What a crazy and messy dream” I just hope it never happens ever ever again.

✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧2024 Highlights✧･ﾟ:* *:･ﾟ✧

Term1 Highlights: It was the first day of school. I have a new class new teacher that I barely knew it’s pretty chaotic, I just couldn’t wait to see who was in my class. When I step into Team 5 I saw 4 different teachers that I never had but I saw one that was in Team 4 that I had before Mrs Lagitupu. When they called out the names I was in Room 2 with Mrs Ilaoa. Term 1 was pretty cool with fun things. My favourite event in Term 1 has to be Myanmar Language Week. I did a speech in English relieving my family and then we did a performance for the school.

 

Term 2: Transformer OMG. New theme I never seen this theme before so I was quite curious about it. I learn about lots of new things. Our DLO was about creating a play with a group that we got assigned to. Then the Year 8s had to go off to camp with helpers and Mr Wiseman and Mr Moran. The Year 7s had to do the Step It up prommange which is actually quite fun. I enjoy hanging out with my friend. Year 7 had to step up so there were  Supersubs for the backup prefects and Oh my gosh were they good you are asking,OF COURSE THEY ARE they were amazing.

 

Term 3: Karawhina Give it Heaps!!! New theme I have never seen. This theme is all about Health&Pe. The Inquiry Team 5 had to do is learning a new skill and documenting it. We edited on dfferent editing site but I used Imovie it’s just easier. My highlight of Term 3 was the Inquiry I enjoyed it, I chose Juggling as my skill but sadly I didn’t learn how to juggle.

 

Term 4: This theme is May the Force be with you. We had to learn all about sound and vibrations. I went into pairs with Maria. We were supposed to present it in class but out teacher Mrs Ilaoa said that we could record it and send it to her. My highlight of the year was PRIZEGIVING!! Prizegiving is so much fun. Here is what you do in Prizegiving is about not only getting awards but showing love to your family and friends that you love the most. You received awards and d0 performance for your family and school. It goes from Room 9&10, Room 6&7&8, Year 7 and Year 8. Mr Burt(Pt England School’s lovely principal) announced who got the leadership roles and I was panicking because I applied and I didn’t know if I would get it.  He announced the final female prefect and I got it I was so happy and proud for myself. I didn’t want to feel emotional because sometimes whenever I got something I sometime get emotional I just look dumb. After the Year 8s do their item we do a closing prayer, if you didn’t know Pt England School has a School song written by Max Jacobsen(Mr Jacobsen/J’s brother) we sing them it our family. Of course at the end of school we all get emotional whenever you make friends that are going to leave for college next year you gotta hug them.

 

And that’s a wrap of my highlights of 2024. I can’t wait to see what 2025 will bring us

Your sincerely

Khaing Shwe Wain Aung Year 7 Student at Pt England School
