The term has come to an end.

2015 Term 4 has come to an end. Just about 2 weeks to wake up bright and early in the morning until the term ends. Pt England school is the school I attended for eight years and yet that eight years will be over. I have enjoyed spending my time here at P.E.S and I am also looking forward to starting High School. Team 5 is the best place to be and I enjoyed listening, Respecting, my teachers and also my team mates.

Next year I am hoping that the street in our building will have more decoration and also more detail of our education they will be learning on 2016. My 2015 learning progress was growing through out the year but I was making 10% progress in my maths but I focused and focused until I understood the meaning of what my focus was that term.

Andrew Patterson Talk.

"Andrew Patterson!" I shouted with excitement, This was the day were we had a visitor named Andrew Patterson visit our year 8's at 11:30 Am.  Mr Patterson was one of the schools best visitors, but mostly my favorite visitor. For today's program we were discussing all about how we are looking forward to  becoming a year 9 and starting college, The main focus was how we need to get ready for next year.

"Our Brain Grows!" I said with confusion, Talking about getting ready Mr Patterson explained to the year 8's how our brain grows and how it can grow stronger if you study and work hard in the amount of time you have. Playing a movie from his presentation the movie had 7 habits and those habits are Be Proactive, Begin with the end of the mind, Put first things first, Think Win-Win,  Seek first to understand, Synergize, and also sharpen the saw.

All those habits are the effective habits that mean so much more to the year 8's, Therefore it helps us determine how nervous but excited we are to attend college and strive to succeed as we reach the end of the marathon to succeed in university. 

Special Time With Friends!

“On your marks get set go!” I ran with exhaustion with my teammates who were a meter away from me, it was the day of the amazing race! We got put into teams were we had to go to different kinds of obstacles, first up was the fear factor.

“Fruit salad & Spaghetti”, I thought to myself “Umm, will this be tastefully delicious, I don’t know but will see how it goes”. Munch, munch, munch, I was chewing with enthusiasm where I heard teammates cheer for my name, I could hear squeaky voices appearing through my eardrums as I continued crunching the pear cube of the  fruit salad.

From the distance ahead I could see my classmates spewing out their germy disgusting food from their mouth as they ran out the red old door to get some water. Last spoon I said to myself, “Yummy, Yum, Yum” Was the only word that came out of my mouth as everyone was outside getting some fountain fresh water.

“Gooo Mua! Shouted my classmate Alazae, “You can do this”. I was so proud of myself for going for what I have not done before and I was also proud that I ignored my fears while eating my favorite food from now on. But I  was still shocked as my teammates did not enjoy the fresh fruit salad and the canned spaghetti, But the most important thing is that I enjoyed it.

The amazing race was closing to an end and all of my emotions were sad, therefore my teammates and I will not do this again,  for the reason that this is our last term together, I really enjoyed the fear factor, because I liked the delicious food the teachers prepared for our amazing race (Fun Time).

The Voice

This week team 5 have been learning our words for the Voice which was placed on every Friday, and today was the day to do the voice. My hands were sweating and I had butterflies in my tummy and I was ready to start the voice. "Beeeppp, Beepp" The speaker beeped with excitement  and everyone's face was seriously focused, I was afraid that I will get something wrong and so I said to my self "of course I will", because I did not study that much during this week. So I took a beep breath and continued on with my test so on during the test, the test was over and I finally pressed submit.

Here is a link to the voice that Team 5 had to do! Hope you enjoy.https://sites.google.com/a/ptengland.school.nz/2015team5/

How To Prevent Yourself From Getting Sick!

How To Prevent Yourself From Getting Sick!

Winter is the time of year that many people become sick. This is for numerous reasons such as the temperature and also the amount of clothes and heat you must keep in your body. Other things that make you sick are when bugs and germs are easily spread during winter time. This explanation will explain ways to prevent yourself from getting sick.

One way to avoid yourself from getting sick is getting the flu shot , the flu shot is the flu vaccine that seems to be the best way to protect yourself from the flu that goes around you body systems and that is how the germs are spread around your system. The flu vaccine helps you because when the needle is placed in your body your body starts to fight the germs and bugs in your body.

Another way of keeping well is by washing your hands, It is important  to wash your hands because germs are spread by 5 common ways, and those common ways are hands, mouths, nose, eyes, and also your ears.

Germs can be spread to the hands by coughing, sneezing, or maybe even rubbing the eyes and then can be transferred to family members or even people from school like friends & teachers.

Explaining all the ways to prevent yourself from getting sick,  the flu shot is one of the examples for you to think about during your life but if you are feeling sick then that means  germs in your body can go away if you get your immunization done/flu shot done.
