2019 Is Coming, So Be Ready To Become A Robot!

3 more weeks until Fortnite Season Se---

Oh, wait, I'm not talking about fortnite right? Oh, okay, well let's just try to make this school related. A lot of elders may tell you to read in holidays but that normally doesn't work, but since memes are coming along, we would all love to read now wouldn't we, especially when Christmas comes along.

While I'm talking about Christmas I just want to say something to all of those "I only care about the presents not about the family"  kid-- I mean people. You have to understand that Christmas isn't supposed to be about getting lots of presents. It's about hanging out with family and actually spending quality time with each other so please keep that in mind.

Anyways, I feel pretty happy that school's about to end. All of you should be happy, unless if your friends are going to different schools.

The reason why I chose this specific topic is because everyone loves Christmas. It's something to celebrate why we have together in order to be a great. But, there are people who not only have sufficient currency to pay the bills in order to live in their own house, they might not be able to buy  some Christmas gifts for either themselves or other people who are extremely close to them.

Now this is where the fundraiser comes in. There are some very good-heart services that pay gifts for other people who are struggling with their bills.

That's what we should do to not only our family, but to everyone in your country.

🎥3...2...1... Action!🎥

The Manaiakalani Film Festival. This event happens every years around November, so to every school who has a Chromebook, did you know that every school in NZ that have Chromebooks for their Student is a part of the Manaiakalani Film Festival?

We hope to see a lot of schools and creative movies ahead of us at the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

You Got To Be A Bookworm To Be Reading!

Everyone likes reading?! Well I do.

A person named Denzal discussed how he used to read. I said to my little but developing brain of mine, "Wait, every time I do a blog, everyone is reading it, which means I may be assisting little youngsters stretching their own vocabulary."

During his talk,  Denzal asked what our hobbies were and what we liked to do for pleasure. 

When he asked that question I was thinking of how I help kids extend their reading skills by just writing this post.

What do I do for pleasure besides playing video games all day? Writing. This made me think of what I want to be in the future. I want to be an author in 10 years' time. 

And no-one can stop YOU if you're DETERMINED to follow your dream.

You Better Jump To The Top! (Or Else)

Good luck to you all who are trying their hardest to enter the finalist, and right now as I a annoying 12 year old boy is typing this blog, my legs, or should I say, our legs are gonna need some good massages after School. How about I put that last sentence into 5 words (Technically.)

R.I.P Yr8 and Yr7 legs,

You will always be in our memories Legs.

A Basketball, A Soccer ball, A Rugby Ball, Now A Volley Ball! Oh You've Got To Be Kidding.

So many sport balls, so little time, oh sorry I was just imagining how many other balls could exist. Now that's what you call a ball-section.

All jokes aside, we lost another awesome coach who taught us amazing skills. Even though our head prefect Katrina had thanked you, I wanted to thank you personally for how much you have taught us in the small amount of time that you had. We also apologize for not making you a thank you card. Oh how unthoughtful of us!

Thank you, Hunter And Kevin!

Everyone, grab your tissues because one of the many Tai - Wong students, are leaving! Don't worry, they're going to see us in the next, uh I don't know, 10 - 15 years . *Room 12 cries* So don- oh, you're still crying. Well how about we flashback to one of our memories back when they outsmarted all of us, even the year 8's. *Henry and the rest of the Class, GET SMARTER* But....

As one awesome and intelligent person said, *That person is me, of course.* "All things must come to an end."
So, we all hope you a farewell and I hope we'll meet you all in the future.

A Great Show, In My Opinion That Is.

This show was interesting, No literally, I mean I don't even have to say it's about Maori-related when the performers recreate their own type of Maori myth in a way that they have been told. We also had 2 students and 1 teacher who greatly *badly* participated, especially the teach- er I mean one of the students *Mr Reid please try harder*

But, in the end they all tried their hardest. *They lacked participation,* also as my personal opinion on this performance are,
Good (in it's own way), unique and last of all, hilarious.
"Hilarious, Henry what do you mean by-" Sorry, If you all think this performance wasn't hilarious... Please re watch this video.
SO, as I was saying, These words explain all of the performance.

The NZ Icon

Okay, I know, I'm making a pointless blog post about a bike. I don't want to explain how a bike can become a NZ icon...so I won't.

Anyway, you think I'm going to copy and paste a Newshub post, right? Not really, I'm actually going to write about what I feel about this and tell you whether I like it or not.

Great "Icon." Am I right? No. I mean, look at that man! That "bike" won't even function properly, and please don't tell me there is going to be someone riding on it. literally?.  I mean, come on.

I know NZ is that inventive but not like this! I still wonder if it's stable enough to even go as fast as a person running. What do you think of that?

But as much as I would want to laugh to death about this invention, my emotions for this are...

HILARIOUS.

Still kind of creative.

Term 2 Has Come To An End....

As you can see by the title, alot of things are about to go "poof," and then reboot into term 3, which new things await us at Term 3, so be prepared!

As other "thoughtful" kids, they might be happy to take a 2 weeks break from School so you might hear a, "time to play some video games," sometimes even a "2 weeks off? more like 10 weeks off."
Also a- looks like you get the point now of me accusing kids who say this (which I am one of them).

So, am I done criticizing kids which have there own point of perspective on holidays? I am? okay nice, so as any normal teacher would say, "try hard, be better than before!, thus I expect 20 pages of homework-" okay, I'll stop.

So please be on your best behavior and listen to your teachers.

We Are Honored To Be Your Students, Dancing Sensei

If you are reading this Jess, we of Room 12 would like to thank you for going out of your way to teach us hip hop moves for 6 weeks. They have been an amazing time.

In the past few weeks, we have developed confidence, style and last of all, had fun! This has been fantastic for us because we were able to create our own dancing routines and we will continue with this. We all hope we will meet you again in the future.

With great honor,
Henry.

Hello Fellow Internet User, Welcome To Term 2!

Even though I wanted to savour the continuity of my two weeks off, sadly it was the 30th of April so I just had to pulled myself together for School!

As I traveled to School I visualized the possibilities that could occur throughout our learning experience, all of the activities in class, with my friends I burst in enjoying countless minutes during recess, alternative lessons through the process of class and the outburst of laughter whenever Mrs Golder or Mr Reid make pointless mistakes. I shouldn't imagine that huge, should I?

As I entered through the School entrance, I saw the office, my fellow senior classmates interacting with their companions  while impatiently waiting for the doors to open. Meanwhile the junior students were acting as just straight out fools.


"It's good to be back." I quietly whispered to myself.

Commonwealth Games: Hockey

Today was a quiet day for New Zealand in the Gold Coast.

The netball woman were sadly at a loss. It was their first time they lost to Malawi.  On the bright side, they can still qualify for the semi-finals on points differential, even with a loss to England this morning.

After their worthless and dreadful run, they need a big result to enhance their medal hopes.

Teamwork In A Sprint Trio!

In the Commonwealth Games (Day 1) there was a sprint trio and as New Zealand relied on each other they won the sprint trio with the other team named Team Ethic which might have overestimated their past success.

As other people named, Eddie Dawkins, Sam Webster and Ethan Mitchell, they were all disappointed with coming sixth from the past last month's world championship in the Netherlands with a well judged victory over another participant country,  England at the Anna Meares Velodrome in  Brisbane.

The trio defended their title they won four years ago in Glasgow and was also victorious which also made them win New Zealand's first ever gold medal in the  Gold Coast Games.

Their winning time was 42.877 seconds was nearly half a second quicker than England, and only a miniature amount  slower than the Games record 42.822 they made when qualifying for the Commonwealth Games.

Dawkins, who carried the Kiwis home, said the victory had been specifically satisfying after their disappointing showing at the world championships.

Welcome To The Rivertalk

Yesterday at The Rivertalk near Tamaki College there were many people who have explained why we should save the river and to prevent any more pollution caused by rubbish that doesn't belong to the sea and the sea creatures.

Two more schools joined and experienced the same amazing  presentations that have been created.  The two schools were St Heliers and Pt England. As we watched the performers  who expressed their culture we knew the story and the significance of the river. It is important that we don't ignore the pollution around out country and worldwide.
