Greetings everyone

Since last week, we have been learning about Samoa and its history.

We had only two tasks: to answer questions on a Google Slides presentation and a Google Doc that we had to fill out using a video on the slideshow.

One thing I learned is that Samoa gained independence from New Zealand back in 1962.

Also, this week we had special guests who were elderly from the Pasifika Community, and people who work in Tangata Tumotu Trust, and they told us stories about their lives in Samoa.

To be frank, I personally think that I could’ve changed my use of words and written more, but other than that, I think I did well.

Hello! Welcome to my blog how was your day?  I hope it was okay, here is what I have learned this week.

What I learned this week was in Science.  Mr Smalley taught us about the ecosystem and ecology and how it works for animals.  He taught us about extinct species and how it would affect the ecosystem.  He taught us about herbivores, omnivores, carnivores, consumers and producers.  Then we learned about the food chain which starts with the sun that gives energy to the producers then the primary consumer otherwise a herbivore eats that then the secondary consumer or carnivore eats the primary consumer then the tertiary consumer eats the other consumer then lastly the apex predator eats the tertiary consumer.  If more carnivores eat the secondary consumer then it’s a tertiary consumer and if something is at the top then it’s an apex predator.  I felt intrigued and fascinated about the ecosystem and the species that help with the ecosystem and their environment.

Kia ora everyone, this term we have WoodTech and me and my class are having a good start! We had the tour of the class and the teacher gave us a rule book to learn about the rules. Once we are familiar using the equipment this term we are going to be making our own designs with these wood plates and LED lights. We have WoodTech every Thursday and Friday.

My design that Im making is a Cristiano Logo with a square in the middle and a football circle around it. So far I’m enjoying what Im doing and this is actually very fun and creative to learn. It also teaches you how to do these things when you’re older if you want to become a builder or other jobs similar like this.

I am very happy to do WoodTech and I would do it again in year 9. Thank you for reading!

Kia Ora everyone welcome to my Blog!
Today I’m going to tell you guys about my Football Sports in the afternoon.  Every Tuesday we have to bring our PE uniform and some sports shoes to play Football. After lunch time we head straight away to get to our class that we need to go, and then we do some drills like passing, dribbling or defending and stealing the ball.  I felt pretty excited and very Energized

Then after that we played two matches of football.  Our teacher tells us how we did and then it’s home time and we go home.

Right thanks for reading my blog I hope you have a good day!

Kia orana, and welcome to my blog.

In Social science we have been learning about power and Mana. Power meaning control and bad power and Mana meaning love or good power.  We had to explain what those two words were and how you can gain or lose power /Mana

In week 2 we had a task to draw a symbol that represents power or Mana and explain why you choose that symbol and explain what it means to you.  For my symbol I chose a red rose.  What  a I red rose means to me is the red meaning love and passion, but it also means danger, and the green leaves meaning nature, growth and harmony. The reason why I chose a rose was because it was a pretty flower  and it is my 5th favourite flower.

Now in week 3 31/7/25 we have been voting, voting meaning people who make decisions. Also when voting you get two votes. Our first task was to do a vocabulary representing voting, then we had to get into five groups and pick a leader.

That’s what we have been doing in social science. I hope you’ve enjoyed my blog, Ka kete ano.
