My reflection

This week was pretty cool because there were a lot of things that happened . The thing that I enjoyed this week would probably be going down to Whagerai and receiving 3 bottles of some sort of holy oil. There were so many schools down there that it was pretty nerve racking when receiving those oils. A success that I had this week was probably writing this Reflection. Because that means I have finished all of my work or most of it, that is what I'm proud of. This week what I found challenging was having 2 days away from school and still trying to finish my contract. This week something I learnt would probably be the difference between Pompalliers church and the church in whangarei which is controlled by ST Frances Xavier. Just having a Orchestra is so cool, and the design of the church is so cool. All the different bishops it was such a cool experience., Something that I am looking forward to next week is working on my Book that is about a mythical creature that I made. When I hang around with my friends I always help and sometimes I tell them what's right and wrong.

Raidon, Milin and Mitchell Animations about Hildengard of Bingen

\In Tekahu class we have been learning about different people that believe in God and Jesus. Today we learnt about Hildegard of Bingen.

My end of week reflection

This week one of things I enjoyed the most was probably when the special character was running different prayer stations in Piwakawaka. I liked it because when I was handling kids that were at my table just the different things they came up with were so creative. Something I succeeded at was probably typing my Holiday reflection. I liked it because I had to type a lot. I like typing, and I let my brain flow from my head to my Chromebook. Something I found challenging was writing and creating my digital book about my mythical creature. It was hard because I had to go all over the internet and find props and edit certain props. I am still not done. This week I have learnt that Scientists aren't just people with a lab coat and protective goggles. Any kid could think of a different scientist. Something I am looking forward to next week would just be me listening to music and doing my work. When I am with my friends I always tell them if something is wrong or not. I have had a great week.

My School Holiday

My Auckland Holiday During the holiday my family and I went and drove down to Auckland where we stayed and the Grand hotel which is right next to the sky tower and Sky city. That same day we met up with our relatives from Auckland. We all walked down to Sky city and we went and looked everywhere just so we could have dinner but we ended up going to Dennys which is one of my favorite places to eat in the world. On Monday my Mum, Dad and I went to Dennys for breakfast, then we split up. Dad went to find Pb tech and me and Mum went shopping with my older cousin. I was trying to find some sneakers but every shop we went to had the best shoes for 1000 DOLLARS !!!!! The cheapest was at least 800 dollars, for shoes that's a lot. My cousin and I went up to the Sky Tower for free because he works for Sky City. That night we went to Sky City and we ate at Fortuna which is an all you can eat buffet, there were a lot of basketball teams from Australia. My family was joking about how tall they were like hey how's the air up there, then we started talking about how tall I was compared to one of the plays and I thought they were joking because they said go stand up to one of them so I thought they were being serious so I waited for the right time and one of the players was taking nachos out of the tray so it was my time to strike I soon figured out he is really really tall. Tuesday my family went to the hospital because my Mum had an operation which meant she got to stay at the hospital for a night and that meant for me I got the whole bed to myself. I was so excited. My Dad and I had Pizza for dinner, the pizza was so good ! On Wednesday we took Mum back to our hotel and my Dad helped me get the PS4 working but I figured out why it wasn't working. Our relatives came over and we hung around with them all day. That day when I was playing PS4 I was in the zone because I was playing Fifa/Soccer and I have not played that game for 2 years and I figured out that game is pretty hard so I was in the zone for most of the. Thursday Mum was much better which is a giant relief she could walk but only inside our room which is not much space to walk around and gain 20 meters because that is what the doctor said. Thursday was just a stay at home day, I played PS4. We went to the gym more PS4 and then we met up with our family and spent the rest of the day with them. Friday was the day where our Auckland relatives got a room just a level below our room which was pretty cool. My Auntie sent us some ice cream which we had in their room. It tasted so good. My Dad and I went up to the Sky Tower and we just enjoyed the view and took photos. At the end of the day we went to the relatives room and we ordered Uber eats. We got Sals Pizza. I had zero clue what that was but I soon found out that it is one of the biggest ! pizza in New Zealand. On Saturday we helped our relatives pack and put their bags in their car. After that we went to the gym my older cousin and I did some duo workouts which was hard work but worth it. After the gym we found some basketball players in the sauna there were a fair amount of them. I swam some laps and chilled in the hot tub. For lunch we ate at a Japanese restaurant, learning how to use chopsticks is hard, instead I used the kids chopsticks which are just ice blocks sticks but there is a hole that you put the 2 sticks together and you just squeeze them together. It's so much easier than using actual chopsticks. Sunday was when we had to leave. I was so sad Auckland is so much fun, but the relatives were one of the main reasons why it made it so fun. The drive home was long but it was entertaining. When we got home I went straight to the PS4 and just started vibing.

Cyber smart

When our work focus is based on cyber smart I enjoy because I love using my device when I work because its more enjoyable than using my book. When my subject is about cyber smart I always learn something that I did not know like using different digital tools.

I do not know all the tools that I can use for my digital work but I bet there I some other tools  that would really help my work in an easier way. I would also like to learn to make proper animations. It just seems cool. 

End of Term 2 Reflection

END OF TERM REFLECTION

The biggest highlight of the term was when we had to customize our own popcorn with anything we want and after that we watched a Movie. It was a very fun day because we all got to have fun and eat a lot of sugar that was my highlight of the Day. We had some bad times with the microwave but other than that is was a super fun day.

My biggest challenge would probably be drawing my self portrait. I´m only saying that because I am not good at drawing. I´m not talented when it comes to drawing or art but my cousins from the Philippines and and my Mum and my other cousins are good at art im just not the best artist.

My greatest success is when Koby & I built our Manutuku/Maori kite. Its my greatest success because we used the 4 Cs which is Creativity, Communication, Collaboration & critical thinking. It was very fun because we did a lot of cutting and finding all the trees and branches was a mission we searched all around the school but we just had to use the others trees.

During this Term I realized when Maoris celebrate Matariki/Maori new year they build kites to show their happiness. Its really cool because I like learning other country's culture its fun. Seeing all the other creative designs that others have made was so cool.

When I am on School holidays my family & I are going to Auckland for a week. When were done I am probably going to try and make a butt print in my chair, in other words I am going to game hard core. I going to hope I don´t rage and lose my privileges to play PS4.

All and all I had one of the best terms I have ever had with Pompallier Catholic School, mainly because we got to listen to music xD :). We got to things I would of never think of and there very creative. I cant wait to go through the other 2 terms is going to be a blast.

My MATARIKI GOALS

I really hope I complete all my goals.
