The Story about Nelson Mandela's Life

Nelson Mandela’s Life:

This story is about Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela’s life and trying to stand up for the africans and try to give better lives to children and other ages. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18-1918 on the eastern coast of africa in Mvezo. When his father passed away, when he was 9 he was raised by royalty. He was the first person to attend school in his family.

Later on when he was a young adult, he became an activist with the African National Congress. He was doing everything well then his campaign hit a brick wall when he was acquitted and charged a large amount of treason against the government with 155 other activists in 1962.

Mandela tried to fight back, against the military and government targets and planning a possible war. Nelson Mandela tried to make the country better. Mandela was released after 27 years of being imprisoned and talks to form a multi-racial democracy were set to begin.

Three years later he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work to end apartheid. Months after he was elected president. Since he stepped down as president in 1999, Nelson Mandela has been dedicated to end global poverty and wars helping to resolve wars and conflicts through Africa.

Sad enough he past away on December 5 2013.

That is the story about Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela.

My Golden NIssan

My Golden Nissan

One Sunny day, Tom was cruising down the countryside. Where the road is surrounded by high mountains, many kilometres long.There were no traffic around, just him and the road.The sun was shining, the wind was blowing and it was hitting the body of his car, reflecting the beautiful golden colour of his Nissan.

All of a sudden a loud pop sound came from the side of his car which Tom immediately recognized that he just got a flat tyre because the steering wheel started shaking. He slowed down and stopped on the side of the road ,turned the car off opened his door and jumped out.

He saw his  front right tyre was flat, he just ran over a sharp nail. Tom didn’t want to get his hands dirty but luckily he is a current member of the AA road side safety company. He quickly called them and they turned up 10 minutes later to fix his flat tyre. He was so happy with the service that he was able to get into his car and drive away to continue his journey through the beautiful countryside.

Maths Lesson/Doubling and Halving

Today we had a lesson on doubling and halving. We had 2 equations.But you could work both problems with the same strategy. The strategy you could use with both equations is Doubling and Halving. Using Doubling and halving will give the same answer.

Here's my working out on both equations:

132x10=1320

D/12=6 and H/22=11

12x11=132 or

6x22=132

Same answer different working out.

I hope you learned something about this blog =)

Cindy in Da House

Cindy in Da House

On 21/9/15 there we kids in blue uniform pouring into Pt England School. There were 3 school’s present. Glenbrae,Ruapotaka and Te Pua. It was terrifying because they were running like wild animals.

I went inside the school hall and they were watching a musical named, Cindy in Da house. Kids were all seated and well behaved. Some of Pt England students were acting out the whole musical. The students from Pt England were well trained at being actors.

In the musical there were Dancing, Acting and Singing. It was remix of the Cinderella story.  They had a projector playing everything in background, Probs. They had a scene when they all had Prefects’ Ball.

There was a scene where Josh was in the Gym and was thinking about a girl for the Ball. His Mind was all on his rugby that he forgot there was Prefects’ Ball and a partner. He is the XXV Captain. Then he found the right girl. The dancing they had was awesome. The Prefects’ Ball was so intense the DJ turned it on!. Everyone was putting on their own moves.

Cindy(Josh’s GirlFriend) stormed in and rocked up her dance moves. Then when she was running away, I don’t know why her Jandal Fell off. Josh found the Jandal and wanted to find her. So he had his friends to find her. They walked all over G.I just to find. They went to a lot of houses and never found the right pair. Then they came to the last house they were going to check. Finally they found Cindy and she had the right pair. Then they got together and lived happily ever after.

Me and My Culture

Me and My Culture

WALT: To be ourselves and respect others in a manner that is good.

Today the year 7 and 8 students from room 9 and 10 had a session with Petia Wilson and Leah Tuia. We were there to talk about respecting others and to be ourselves. Petia and Leah split us into our ethnicity cultural groups, Samoan, Tongan, Cook Island, Niuean, Maori and African.

Each group was given a sheet of paper, we all had to fill in the boxes. When the time was up each group had to present their ideas through action or song. First, Samuel from Africa presented his ideas, then it was the Niuean group who did it. Niue did a traditional haka. Next was my country Samoa, I lead our traditional haka called Siva Tau. After that it was the group from the Cook Islands. Finally it was the turn of the Tongans who sang a traditional song.

Last but not the least was Tangata Whenua Maori who did the pukana. Pitea drew a picture of a super hero to finish the session.

How waves are made

How Waves are Made.

How waves are made

• Waves is mainly a product of the wind.
• Wind is the first step in the information of surble waves.
• Local shore ways can also produce waves.
• They can also destroy quality of the breaking waves.
• In a way, offshore winds are a sort of a counterbalance.
• Swell comes from miles away and  the wind works as a pause hold effect on the wave face, allowing longer unbreakable waves.
• In theory, low pressure systems are responsible for creating good and strong waves.
• If winds created in low pressure systems keep blowing the surface of the ocean for  the ocean for a long time.
• Along the way, until they are ridden by surfers, these waves will have to challenge other variables.
• Waves make their way through the ocean and are affected by the differences in the ocean floor.

STORY REVEIW

Title A passion for Ponies by Donna Cherry

WALT: Write a story review.

This article is about a girl named Chelsea who loves her pony named Teddy. After school Chelsea goes home quickly so she could play. She looks after her pony Teddy everyday  when she comes from school. Chelsea had a friend named Sarah. She had a pony too.

Sarah also played with Chelsea and they groomed their ponies together. Chelsea and Sarah also cleaned up their ponies droppings which is gross and it looked like little tennis balls. Sarah loves her pony as much Chelsea loves Teddy.

Chelsea and Sarah do a lot together with their ponies like grooming, playing, brushing and a lot of other stuff. Sarah and Chelsea care a lot for their ponies body parts. If I had a pony I would do the same thing that Sarah and Chelsea did to their ponies. I would be dedicated like them.

I liked the bit about when Chelsea’s least favourite job was picking up the droppings it was really funny.
