Yesterday the yr8’s from Pt England school went to tamaki college to

experience college. My favorite thing Science  because It teaches me how

to make Ice cream, step 1 grab a wrapper bag, step 2 put milk In the wrapper, then grab a bigger wrapper and then put vinegar,  and salt around the small wrapper bag, then ice around the smaller wrapper,then we shook It around untill Its all mushy then we started eating It.

Polyfest

Yesterday morning making our way into the street (Main Entrance of the Senior Block)  we were getting ready to go to the Polyfest. It was so exciting! Stepping up each step in the bus everybody already started talking about Polyfest.

Once we got there we had to go through security check. It was freaky to be honest. But I was lucky I got through. We then got seated and listened to one of the Polyfest members welcomed us there.

My favorite things there were getting prizes from ASB bank and also spending time with radios 103.8 NIU Fm and 95.8 Flava Fm! They were cool and inspiring. I had such a great time at the Polyfest. I can't wait until next year!

Kia Ora, talofa lava, malo e lelei, fakaalofa lahi atu, kia orana, bula vinaka, namaste and greetings!!  It’s Pasifika week in Aotearoa, this means it’s a week long celebration of all things Pacific.  This includes the birthday dance we had with Mrs Tele’a!  Part of the celebration is the Polyfest!  This Thursday we are planning to travel to Manukau to take part in some workshops and then visit stages.  The two stages we will be visiting will be the Maori and Diversity stages.  Did you know that this event - the Polyfest celebrates 40 years since it’s beginning?  Awesome isn’t it!  

I'm excited because tomorrow the pt england yr7and8 are going on a trip to the asb polyfest.

Before we go there we have to pack heaps of lunch and a full water bottle. Polyfest is a traditional pacific thing, It only starts once a year and four days.

The winning team gets certificates, trophies, and they're famous.

My High Light This Year

The best thing this year was athletics. I really liked the high jump. In the year 8s Jabez came first. My highlight this year was cross country I came 24. Next year I need to work on my attitude towards other people.

Jab The Mascot.

This is Jab. Jab got his name from the boxing move. He is the mascot of the Glasgow Commonwealth games. Jab is wearing blue and white. This represents the colours on the Scottish flag. His skin is green because his older brother is the loch ness monster. He is dressed in a boxing uniform because he likes boxing but he is pretty average at it. Instead, he supports other athletes to do well. Jab also has the important job of hyping up the crowd.
