Thank You Parent Helpers!!

Last week on Tuesday we had an opportunity to visit the Auckland Museum with our Teachers and our helpers.

Without our Parent helpers I’m fairly sure we wouldn't even go. So I’d like to say a HUGE Thank you to all our Parent Helpers that helped us with our Trip.

It was a great experience having one of our year 8’s parents as our helpers. Thanks for all the activities that you had organised for us last Tuesday. It was a great pleasure having Shannon (One of the year 8’s parents) as our Parent Helper.

So THAAANNNNNKKKK YOOOUUU Shannon for having to put up with us on Tuesday , and looking for me while I was lost. It was a great pleasure having you as our Parent Helper.

Also having other parents was great too. Thank you all for coming with us and for the Teachers who made this happen.

Yours sincerely

Highlights of our Trip

 I actually lIke this picture, because once we had finished our tasks. We had the chance to have a little Free time while we were outside. 

 This photo is actually a good photo of the types of Building around the Museum.  I've always wondered what this building was. 

I liked looking at this piece of art, because it had a lot of color and texture in it.

I enjoyed looking at this piece carving inside the museum because it represents the maori Culture. 

And at the end it was time leave thats why I like this photo to remember the day we visited the Museum.

Why is it Important to have Sleep?

Why is it important to have sleep?

It is really important to get enough sleep. Actually sleeping can help you in a lot of ways. Getting enough sleep helps with growing and even having a better attitude the next day.

Sleep is allowed for creatures like, Hippos, Elephants Giraffes, Koala Bears, Grandparents, Mums and Dads, and creatures that live in the wild. Sleep is just like eating, sleep is important for survival.

Adults need about 7-8 hours of sleep a night. From the age of 5 to 12 the amount of sleep that is needed, would probably be 10 to 11 hours. Babies also sleep a lot, to grow they also need 14-15 hours of sleep. Some kids might need more then most need less, it depends on the kid.

Sleep is actually healthy for your body. It is actually more important than you think. Sleep isn’t just for your body, its also for your brain too. A average kid has a busy day. Running around with friends, attending sports practices, taking care of your pets and doing your homework. At the end of the day the child needs a huge amount of rest.

Trip To the Museum

As part of having “Art Attack” as our topic, we had the opportunity to go to the Museum. With all the year 7’s. Last week on Tuesday.

By the time I got to school, we were already put into our groups. So luckily I was put into a group with my friends. While walking into the bus we all started to get excited.

Even though we've been to the Museum a lot we still enjoyed our trip. Our year 7’s explored a lot of things around the Museum, most of it was based on art and Culture.  

One of my favorite parts of our trip was exploring the Museum. But one of the best parts were, experiencing a volcanic eruption. Why? Well the best part was being inside a house just watching the Volcano ashes come towards us.

Later on we all had a task that was set for us, which was mainly about taking artistic photos around the Museum. It was quite like hunting but taking very good photos of things. I really enjoyed our trip, because most of the time we got to do amazing Activities.

Tattoo Design

 I like this art because it symbolizes the culture I am from. In this artwork I like the colours that I have used in it. This art is mainly used in Tonga.

    Then this art symbolizes, the Maori and the country that I stay in. I actually like this of art that I have created. 

Why is it important to have School/class rules?

                Why is it Important to have Class/School rules?

Yeah why is it important to have school and also class rules?

Well if schools did not have rules there’d be a lot of dangerous things happening like, fights, bullies, swearing and thefts. For an example dodgy things could happen during school. Without rules children are most likely to disrespect one another and the teacher.

Most schools have rules to keep Children inside the school boundaries. I think that rules are most likely helpful to help children have a better environment.

When rules are followed kids would be more respectful and kinder.  Thats why I think that rules should be set in every school.

Night Markets

                      

What is Night Markets you may ask? Well Night Markets, are Markets that are held during the Night. Here in Auckland it is held 6 times a WEEK.

Night Markets are Located Mt Wellington under Countdown (Tuesdays), then goes through to Onehunga Dress Mart (Thursday),Papatoetoe Under K Mart (Friday) Henderson Under K Mart) Friday.Then there is Pakuranga Under the Warehouse (Saturday) Last of all its Sunday Night markets ( Glenfield- Westfield)

Night markets are filled with, Food stalls, Fun games and even stalls that sell clothes. So far I’ve been going to the Night Markets in Pakuranga and Mt Wellington.  Which are the closest from where I live.

What I look forward to at Night Markets are mostly the Food Stalls. Why? Cause there are different types of Food Stalls that are held. The most common food plates and bowls that are sold, are most likely Churros, Ice-Cream and Smoothies. But I LOVE buying the Dumplings.

Night Markets are set into two different parts, one side with games and the clothing area. Then the other with Food.  But also they sell Stuff Like Headphones, Phone cases, Shaped Balloons, Hats, Beanies and even more!!  

I really enjoy having Night Markets.  Because you can meet a lot of new people.
