2012 reflection manaikalni

My goal for 2013 is to be better at understanding words for reading. This year I really liked learning, creating and sharing my blog out to the world.

This year we haven’t done much P.E, also this year has gone too fast.

I enjoyed having a netbook this year because it is really fun.

My Review of Azonto

Tamaki College was the best movie it stood out from all of the movies. They taught some people how to do the Azonto dance. I liked how Tamaki College dressed up. It was very cool how they traveled around Auckland. I really liked their song they chose which was Azonto that is a good song. It was a very good idea what they did.
I am going to give Tamaki College Azonto 10 out of 10.

James the bull jumper

“Oh my gosh, I’m flying. I’m a pretty butterfly.” James the young toreador was trying to break the world record for bull jumping. He is a well known super show off, he always thinks he’s cool, but somehow it never works out quite how he expects.

After James had jumped he landed on the bull. The bull went so crazy that he ran out into the crowd. Even after it had killed 20 people, the bull was still going crazy. James spoke out loud “Hey bull stop being crazy and calm down”. James had a gun that shoots out sleeping bullets. He used it on the crazy bull.

James thinks he is so amazing, right until the bull woke back up and used its horns to knock James out.

Ninja VS Clown

After a good afternoon of trick or treating my brother and I were counting the lollies. We had 100.

As my brother snatched the bucket of lollies and I said “Hey!! those are mine you greedy clown”. So I snatched the bucket of lollies and my brother called  me a selfish Ninja.

So mum came and said “Hey you boys cut it OUT!!!  both of you go to your room NOW!!”. “Yes mum” I said.  So we both walked to our rooms stomping up the stairs.

Then my brother said “Hey lets solve the problem by telling mum we said sorry to each other”. So we walked down stairs and me and my brother said “mum, we said sorry”. Mum looked at us “OK boys half the lollies each.’ So we did 100-50=50 so we each got 50 lollies.

This is our first day of school

This term we are working on Toy story. Today is our first activity four this morning . We had to write the most popular toys.

Ninja mouse has black fur with yellow eyes. He works for a company could mouse and black,he has a partner called Agent M. Ninja mouse is trying to discover the lost cheese of Lerat. The gold plated valuable cheese.

Ninja mouse has a GPS he is going to have a long journey. The mouse is going to use a jet named Star Scream. No one can defeat ninja mouse with all his ninja equipment like Samurai swords ninja stevs grapple hook fake hands darts and spears. Ninja mouse is going to Italy where it has lots of cheese.

The star scream safely land at the airport of italy they now have got off. They called a taxi and went to this house where it has the cheese. The cat was patrolling the cheese

They saw the house then Agent M got stuck outside. Ninja mouse opened up the door quiet then he saw the cheese. He grabbed out his ninja equipment and threw darts at the cat.Then his partner turned into a zombie because this nova gas came falling down from the sky It was Lerat. Agent M is now a zombie.

Ninja mouse had no choice but to kill Agent M, ninja mouse grabbed his ninja equipment then he chopped Agent M’s head off.

3 up 3 down

Guess what? My dad taught me how to play this card game. This game is called 3 up 3 down. I know this card game is very old. My dad told me the best card are A’s 10 2 and 7. A’s is the highest number if no one has a higher number they have to pick up the cards, but you can still use 10 2 and 7 because they a the ones you can only stop the A’s.

The card 10 is for canceling out or the cards this card you have to use it wisely because if you don’t your just gonna lose. SO USE IT WISELY!!

2 is for just starting the game all of again, I don’t know why it’s such a good card?

The card 7 is very very good so use that wisely to. 7 is good because if people have higher cards than the 7 they can’t put it down, you a only allowed to go below the card number like 6,5,4,3,2,.

My strategy for this game is try and put down your low card or if they put down a high number like King try and put down your high card. If you have 2 have the same cards you can put them down.

My other strategy is try and put down heaps of cards down and then cancel all of the cards with the 10

How to deal it you have to put 3 cards down and 3 cards up they have to lie on each other and both get 3 cards each, and put the rest of the cards in the middle then flip one card

Tommy Kapai Wilson is a author. Tommy Kapai Wilson told us about his life journey. He told us about the 5 lessons which is, Make 10 people smile everyday, War and Violence is dumb, learn how to forgive, Everybody is born with a gift.

Tommy kapai wilson retelled about the ferrari. He said it’s not all about being rich having a rich boat and a rich car It’s just about making people smile and yourself. His mum said to him I’m more better than those rich people.

So Tommy Kapai Wilson said ok I’m going to my putta boom boom car.

My recraft

Today we practised recrafting a piece of writing. The first paragraph belongs to Aldora and the second is mine

Aldora’s Cross Country Recount

“yeah” I said happily to myself. I was nearly there. I sprinted to the finish line and  made myself happy. I had a drink and then I had a rest. Looking down at my pretty purple and black shoes, it was all muddy and yucky.

Finishing the race I felt terrible because I hadn’t caught up with my friends. Finally I looked down at my purple and black shoes, they were like dark chocolate. So I had a drink and watched the year 7 and 8 race. I wondered who would come first.

Valerie Adams

Michael Phelps

Mark Todd

Sebastian Xiang

I’m in the Olympic stadium I’m feeling nervous about the 110m Hurdle race. My goals are to beat the other competitors.

The starter said “take your marks, get set GO!!” I raced off but at the first hurdle I crashed out. My achillies are injured and I failed to reach my goal. After falling down I felt disappointed in myself because of a simple mistake.

Feeling disappointed I walked into the tunnel, but I was told to turn around. I then hopped all the way down the track to the finish line. Some friends came over and assisted me, taking me to the end.

This my last Olympics I’m doing, I’ve retired so I kissed the last hurdle in lane 4. China is going to KILL ME!!! I hope not.

Usain Bolt

Who is the world's fastest man in the world? Usain Bolt!! The crowd roaring as the athletes getting a starting position “Take your marks!” All of a sudden the crowd went silent “BANG!” Legendary Usain Bolt made Olympic history. Like a lightning bolt he blitzed the field the crowd roared. Usain truly is unbeatable. The crowd and Usain Bolt celebrated. He was a sprint champion. What is his future will he return or will he not? Bolt is the only one that knows.

Taekwon-do

Last week on Saturday I had to wake up around like 5:00 or 6:00 in the morning. When I woke up my eyes were just turning into teary eyes so my parents just let me sleep into 6:30, then I felt way better.

Waking up watching the sunset I got out of bed went for shower then put my moisturizer on, then get changed into my TaeKwon-do gears.

My parents and I were on a rush, packing our bags for lunch we packed sandwiches chips drinks and biscuits.

And off we went to my regional (tournament).Stopping at Glenn Innes at the gas station we had to put gas in because we didn’t have enough of petrol in the car, While we were waiting for the gas to get in my mum bought me a hot chocolate when I tasted it was too sugary for me.  

Stopped at Mahurangi College at walk warth. Walking inside I had to bow before entering the Dojo so I walked inside and I see yellow belts green belts blue belts red belts and this the belt I want the most out of all of the belts black belts. But I am only a white belt which means just a beginner.

Seeing all of tamaki people I was surprised. Hearing this guy saying form up then I ran quickly to my Dojang which means (training area).

My first activity was patterns I did alright but I got no medals.


And my second activity was sparring in sparring I came first and I got gold medal when I got a gold medal I was so happy I was showing the Tamaki club my gold medal.

My Third one was Team patterns we did good but our team got silver because one of my team mate called Sam he did it wrong, he didn't do it properly because we did this stagger.

My 4th one was speciality which is Power Punch and Flying high kick I don’t know for sure how high I kicked I think like 1.8 or 2 meters my medal was bronze. In Power Punch I came 4th which means I didn’t get any medals

Sentience builder

Cross Country

“Feeling my heart beating so fast I started to get nervous when it was Cross Country”

Why oh why, why do we have to run all this way why can’t the teachers run. The Teachers are so mean! Legs twitching, Having goosebumps all over my body I just wanted to stay.

While I was nervously waiting, Mr Marks called out “All of the year 5 boys - Run.” I was running. feet pounding on the ground. I whispered to myself  - “Can I do another lap? YES! I can!” I shouted. Slowing down I started to walk. However seeing all of my friends in front of me, I started to sprint to catch up.

YES!! finally I finished that run it was so long. Huffing and puffing I was so thirsty, I had a drink of water. Giggling and laughing and talking to my friends.

Mr Marks blew his whistle.  Time to stretch our legs and arms.

After that run I felt fitter, next time I should just focus just on me.

“Getting up in the morning I was so lazy, I was moaning about going back to sleep but my dad was forcing me to go school but it is for my own good”

When I had got up I didn’t want to wake up because I stayed up too late watching a movie called Brave, I was so lazy when I got up. After doing my lunch and have breakfast I had to brush my teeth. And off I went to school walking to school I met my friends at the shop there names were Leka and Henry they are both my friends. Crossing at the pedestrian crossing, passing the Kindergarten I see little kids playing and I see the red fence and I started to rush to the red fence and there I go hunting for rm13 I got into Room 13 everyone was on the computer so I just went on my netbook.

The spider is black and big, I think it might be a white tail, I hope some white tails are harmless. The poor spider, so angry he won’t look at us anymore.

What is Abstract Art

Abstract artist changed the world, they broke away from the normal idea of art. They were rebels.

Artists care about their processed of painting, their textures and crazy colors. They had paid  attention to their shapes & colours.

Abstract paintings are different designs shapes and colours they are not real objects. They were harder to understand and people  actually they didn't know

Abstract art allows the audience to experience their creation. To open up and feel designs

This guy is a japanese Hikakin Beatbox he does the Super Mario bros. He is really cool but he must practice alot because he must put effort in his beatboxing I wish I could do that.

Today, 14 may 2012 I went to Mount Wellington Taekwon-do Academy. When we go inside we have to bow before entiring the

I made this movie for fun because our music teacher said but it was preety cool it's just a picture and some music I hope you enjoy my out standing movie.

Glenn Innes pools

Filled with anticipation, we walked together to the pool. Smelling all that chlorine made me want to go for a swim. Pushing and shoving to go to the showers, I was in a rush. Hopping in the pool was cold but I felt lucky that  I had brought my togs today.

Our First day of swimming I didn't bring my togs. So I had to sit and watch other people swim I was kind of jealous. But on the second day I had remembered and I was proud of myself. Kicking and breathing my legs went splash and splash.

There wasn't anything to learn but just keep on doing the same thing all over again. At the end you get a treat - it is called breathing competition. We see who can swim the furthest and I came 1st.  Jordenne came second.

Freestyling through the water I was like Flash. Listening to the instructor, I slowed down. I was swimming doggy paddle because the teacher had said you can do anything. You can lie on your side, go on your back, or doggy paddle

Swimming was lots of fun. I learnt how to kick properly with legs straight, arms up on the board and fast kicks. That's all we did. Kicking my legs, I felt tired.

The day was EXHAUSTING!! As we walked back to school I felt really tired but I still had fun.

Melted Crayon Art

Sebastian Crayon Art from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo

Art Alive is what we are learning about! Paintings, pictures and artists. A term of colours, patterns and art.


Glueing the crayons on a cardboard we had to use a glue gun to stick them down.Very quickly the glue hardened. While my partner was still glueing the crayons my other partner painted the stencil onto the canvas. On top of the canvas we sellotape the cardboard. Melting the crayons was the next step. Carefully we leaned the canvas against the wall. Hot air from the hair dryer caused the crayons melt onto the canvas.


Trickling down the canvas the blended colours created are interesting texture. Our finished artwork looked like a rainbow.
