Malo e lei lei ko hoku hingoa ko Finau. Ta’ahine Tonga au. Nae fanaui Maui Hawaii. Oku ou ta'u hongofulu . What that all means is hi my name is Finau. I am a tongan girl. I was born in Hawaii. I am 10 years old. I am from a family of six. My little sister Catherine .My two little brothers Vaha and Keni. And my parents Heikoti and Maryane. And my cousin Mele that lives with me.




Why I want to be an Ambassador well because I want my family to be proud of me and make myself proud. I also want to represent my culture and it is my goal to become an Ambassador. And the last and final two reasons why I want to be one of them is because I’m confident and I would be a good Ambassador to choose and it would be a good opportunity for me in the future.

UV Experience

Term 4 Animation Voice Over Script

Hi my name is Finau and welcome to my Life’s a stage animation. It is about Goldilocks and the three bears. I won't be showing the whole story but I will be showing three emotions. My first emotion I will be showing is scared. Goldilocks walks into the bedroom. She is really tired. She just falls down on the bed and fell asleep. A moment later the three bears walk into the room and see someone in the bed. Meanwhile Goldilocks wakes up from her beauty sleep and then she saw something horrible and scary, she saw the three bears. She ran away and started crying with her arms in the air, and she never returned to the house again. My second emotion I will be showing is sad. The three bears just came home from a walk in the forest. They wanted a break and walked into the living room to set on the chairs. Baby bear saw his chair broken into pieces. He cried on and on. He ran to mummy bear and hugged her.The last and final emotion I will be showing you is angry. Papa bear just woke up from his nap and wants to eat. He walks into the kitchen and see that someone has eaten his porridge. He is angry. He is so mad that he threw the bowl and spoon on the ground. After that insane moment that just happened Papa bear walks out of the kitchen before Mama bears growls him. I hope you enjoyed my animation and learn that the Elements of drama can be fun and exciting. Please leave a positive comment. Thanks for watching, bye.

Dangerous writing challenge

I was on the 12th step when I woke up in my pyjamas. Everything was so amazing and cool. I saw rainbows over my head. And it smelt like yummy fruit. I kept on walking and walking until I got to the top of the steps. There was no stairs to the cloud it was just a giant gap. I thought of what I had to do and the answer was to jump off the stairs and on to the clouds. I was scared but I saw something come towards me and I heard noises like a horse. And thats when my life flashed before my eyes. A Unicorn was flying to me. I was telling it in a calm voice come please come and it came to me. The unicorn looked like and horse mixed with a rainbow and a horn and it smelt like cotton candy. Anyways it just swooped me right of the stairs and put me on the clouds. I was so happy and enjoyed that very moment. I called the unicorn shine. I said bye because she was flying away. And I was trying to find out the jack and bean what thing fairy tale. I couldn't remember what it was called but I knew that he found this magic bean and planted it in the ground and waited for the next day. He woke up and there was a big, huge plant from the little bean he planted. He climbed up and reached the clouds and saw lots and lots of food and a beautiful house that his sister and him could live in. So I thought about the story and I tried it out but with out the big, huge plant I walked up the cloud and saw lots and lots of food and a beautiful house that I could live in with Shine my unicorn but I head something stomping and it was a giant and I forgot about that. Well I guess I have to look for shine and to take down this giant. Bye.

This was my writing task for this week. It is different because we had to write for 15 minutes. It was hard but I got it finish.

This was my dimic blog post for this week. It was about the Toy shop the school production.

Whoosh and Ping

On Monday after a fun, hot lunch time, room 10 played a bunch of games about drama (it is because our theme for this term is Life's a stage). One of the games we played was and one of my favourites was Whoosh and Ping. How you play the game is that everyone has to get in a circle and when someone says ''Whoosh'' they pass it to the other person and they say it and they go around the circle until they get to the end of the circle or they could say ''Ping'' and go around the circle. What I learnt from it was that you cannot talk during the game, because if someone says Ping and you are talking you might make the next person say the wrong thing. The other thing I learnt was that you have to be dramatic and really act it out.

Round 3

Instructions

The game is for two or more players.
Each player chooses one, two or three numbers.
Players then take it in turns to roll two dice and add the scores.

The player who has chosen that number puts a counter on the appropriate circle. (So for example I'm playing with my friend Aye Myat. I choose 2, 4 and 6, Aye Myat chooses 7, 8 and 9. Aye Myat rolls the dice and it's a 4 and a 2 - so I can put a counter on 6.)

The winner is the first player to have counters on all three circles belonging to one of their chosen numbers.

Sick sentences

The man walked across the grass. The door opened.
There was a light.

The boring old man in his nightgown stepped across the grass. The door suddenly opened up wide. A bright shiny light shone out from the door.

This is my Sick sentence. I turned it into a good one. I hope you try this at school or home.

Here is my time tables grid. I had to hid the grid and start on a new won. I was doing this so I can learn and practice my time tables. I hope you learn from this and I hope you can try this at home or school.

Adding detail

During the holiday, I went to the beach with my friends. We saw there was a volleyball net. We asked a family if we could borrow their volleyball. We played volleyball for about an hour then had some lunch. Before we went home, we gave the volleyball back to the family. I had a lot of fun at the beach with my friends.


Read this simple recount.




What do you notice about the recount?

That Miss West only used what she saw with her eyes not her ears, nose taste and what she felt. She also only used the word We.





What could we add to this recount to make it more detailed?

Using more interesting words like I saw this big huge volleyball net and showing more senses like what she could smell, taste, hear and feel.





Edit this recount above to make it more detailed:



During the holidays, I went to a sandy tropical beach with my besties. We saw in the distance far away a big huge volleyball net. We asked a nice kind family if we could borrow their volleyball. We played volleyball and when we felt it felt round and big and hard and every time I would hit the ball it feels so hard. We played for about an hour then had some lunch and it tasted so delicious that I wanted more and more. Before we went home, we gave the volleyball back to the king caring family everything there smelled so good, I could smell the salty water and the sunscreen on my skin. I had a blast at the beach with my besties.

Dangerous writing challenge

There were these crazy robots and they the hated other places around the world. No one like them. They got closer to Pairs and to other places and now today they are London and how are they going to destroy London. They thought and thought but didn't know. The thought about taking down building but they were to lazy they also thought about taking down the Eiffel tower in Paris. But no they wanted to do something else. They thought about nothing so they didn't do it. Just they sat there fixing things and helping and enjoying the amazing view in London.


This was my writing task for this week. I had to write about this crazy picture with robots destroying Paris. And I only had 5 minutes. I hope you enjoy reading.

Cross Country Recount

On Monday we had our Cross Country. As soon as everyone heard it they were not really excited but some people were. We all had to get changed into our house colours and it was Blue, Yellow, Red and Green.

Then we had some play time before it started. Everyone went crazy on the fields and had some races. I was so bored because I had nothing to do and I was waiting for my Dad. But when I was walking I saw him so I ran into him so I could have my yummy drink but unfortunately my teacher miss west said I was not allowed. After all of that we lined up at the courts and Some kids from Stan-hope (which were the fastest kids) came to run with us and some people from KPMG came to help support. First the year 1’s went and my little sister came first like she always does and then the year 2’s went then the year 3’s went then the year 4’s went and my little brother came fourth place then the year 5’s went. Everyone was looking at us and that made me so scared and nervous. We all lined up really nervous and some of the fastest runners were confident that they were gonna win. One of the teachers gave us some instructions and they got this big clapper and they clapped as loud as they could and in was loud like really loud. Everyone (Which was the year 5 girls, including girls from Stan-hope) started to run, jog and sprint down the field. Stan-hope was in the lead and I was wowed by them. They did not stop even though it was a long run. I was puffed up and exhausted. When I was running I kept stopping for some reason and it was the mud. I tried to pull myself up, then I nearly fell to the ground but I kept running and I kept on stopping which was weird. And well I was running this lady from KPMG started squeaky the horn at me and yelled ‘’Run! Run! You can do this.’’ And that made me start sprinting across the park, through the Flying fox and onto the grass and my friend Vika was running really fast then I dashed to the finish line and I think we ended up in a tie. I was so glad that it was over and I survived and I walked up to some teachers and they handed me some water. I was so tired and nearly fell on the ground. I drank my water bottle all and I threw some all over my feet because it was dirty. Finally we shared some of the seniors on because they had to run our course but they had to do it two times. And we came back to class and ate our lunch and go back home. What a crazy day.

Animation Something in the water Script

Hi my name is Finau and this is my Something in the water Animation. My creature is a Starfish. Where Starfish live. Starfish live in Rocky Shores that have big huge rocks and there will be other animals living there. They also can live in the ocean where there is coral seaweed and much more. There are zones and they are Splash zone, Intertidal zone and Sub tidal zone. Starfish can live in some of the zones and they live in the Splash zone. What Starfish eat. They would eat their favourite food which is Sea snails and Clams and Mussels. And how they eat is they go on top of the food and they just start eating. A Starfish’s food chain. This is what it looks like. The sun gives energy to the seaweed and the seaweed gets eaten by Zoo plankton and the Zoo plankton gets eaten by Starfish and Starfish gets eaten by a Seagull. All the animals get energy when they eat animals. The sun and the seaweed and producers. Zoo plankton are Consumers. Starfish are Primary Consumers. And the Seagull is an Apex Predator which means that is doesn't get eaten by anything. Here’s 5 facts about Starfish. 1. They do not have brains are blood. 2. They are not fish. 3. They are heavy. 4. Starfish can not survive in freshwater. 5. Starfish have eyes on the tip of its arms. I hope you enjoyed my animation and learn ed lots. Thanks for watching bye.

My trip to the Museum

Yesterday and today was our year 5 & 6 extension trip to the Auckland Museum. It was amazing and cool. There was art galleries and old ancient things from back in the day. There was lots of places like the dinosaurs, Volcano's, places were the bugs were and much more. Before we did anything we ate. They provide us some food and we brought our own food. When it was lunch time they got some food from the stores at the Museum and we got sandwich's that had carrots, cheese and even tuna. I would give that a 2/10. We went into this room were where all these little furniture's and big bean bags. There also was this man called Gabriel and a lady called Wendy. They showed us around the Museum. We also got to do VR World with Wendy and we did coding robots with Gabriel. The VR World was cool because you would have to make up your own world and we got to code a robot which was great. There were also two laddies that knew lots about the sea and we even got to touch some of the things the got from the sea. Like Starfish, Kina, Crabs and some rocks. Then we explored the galleries and it was fun. The part i didn't like was the part where there was bug and weird creatures. I have learnt so much at the Museum, the coding and the VR world helped me learn more. I really want to go back check it out again. Thank you to all the people working at the Museum and to all the helpers. I really enjoyed it and it was a blast.

Food Chain narrative

Once upon a time there lived all the amazing sea creatures that live in the deep deep blue sea. There was sea creatures like Sharks, Plankton, Zooplankton and even an Oyster and much more. That's all their names but they can even talk. Which is crazy talk. They also have a special names like Phill, Zoe, Archi, Archi’s twin brother Gucci, Willi and the bravest of all Sandy. They are all friends but they eat each other which is weird. But they are a special kind of sea creatures they are the kindest, bravest and they are loyal. They wouldn't eat other creatures but they have to cause if they don't they will have nothing to eat just boring old Coral and Seaweed. They are apart of this food chain and it's not about food stuck to a chain it means that they have to eat each other. Even Sandy and Archi. So anyways where was I oh yes after all the cool information they went to this party at their friend's house and it was Sandy’s house. Her house was amazing. She had a dining room and a swimming pool but is was bubbles which was even more amazing and it was at the rocky shore. She had everything she liked and what her friends liked. So they were at a party and it was a birthday party for Sandy. So here other friends like Phill, Gucci and Zoe and the others helped set the party up well Sandy was just relaxing in the bubble pool. She invited well what I mean is that they all invited Spongebob, Patrick, Mr Krabs, Squidward and Sandy’s best friend Sandy. They both have the same names and have lots in common. Like they are both very brave and they hate pigs and they love eating mussels. So they were all at the party until this scary horrible thing came a Human. And his name was Barry. He was a fisherman that fished for anything. Everyone at the party was scared but Sandy the seagull and Sandy the squirrel was not scared. They pulled Barry into the water and slapped his face but softly and said ‘’ don't ever do that again.’’ And Barry ran away. The next day came and Barry came and he thought he was smart and went fishing. But Sandy and Her friend Sandy pulled him again in the water and he turned into a mermaid. They swam to the bottom of the sea and Phill was the judge and he thought that he was going to the dungeon for what he did, so did everyone else. He explain why he wanted to fish and its because the need some food to. The sea creatures said that he can only take a little bit and everyone agreed and let him go. The end.

Creepy Crawlies Recount Writing

It was a normal sunny but cold Monday morning until we read a book about Charlotte ‘s Web that our wonderful teacher Miss West was reading to us. There was some weird things that a spider ate and then we had to face a horrible awful challenge, we had to eat Cockroaches!! But the good thing we got to eat was lollies. But that was still yuck yuck yucky!!!!!
We had to get in partners of two and my partner was Jayla. She had to get a blind fold and put it around my face so I couldn't see anything. She had to pick what I had to eat, awful Cockroaches or yummy lollies. She was very kind and picked lollies but she told me that she was going to get a Cockroaches but didn't. I was so scared I didn't see anything then she fed me it and I was happy. After all of that it was suddenly my turn. I really wanted to pick the Cockroach but she was really nice and I was scared to feed it to her so I got the lollies. Some of my classmates loved the Cockroaches and I was like blah. Later on we just ate and talked and then our teacher Miss West told us that the Cockroaches were acutely dried up dates! And we were like what come on Miss West. We just got fooled by our own teacher. We started laughing. Miss West got the fake Cockroaches and gave it to us to eat. It tasted a bit weird so I spit it in the bin. That was really fun.
