Day 3 of The Holidays: Angel

Today I went to North Shore to buy me and my sister dresses for White Sunday. In the picture above is my dress that my mum picked out. In the purple box is my shoes. I didn't want to wear it at first because it was really girly, but then my mum told me that she had made the order all the way from Europe, so I decided to wear them. I also went to the park and saw Samantha, Oh S'Mar and his brother and San Tat and his brothers. We played on the park, then Samantha had to go. Then I went back home and ate some ice blocks. Then I decided to paint a picture to go on my Auntie's wall. Overall the whole day was AWESOME!

My Matinee Reflection: By Angel

MY MATINEE REFLECTION

Today my class performed their production item in front of our parents and Tamaki Primary. I think that we did well even though we went on the stage at the wrong time. We were really calm on stage and did not panic. Mr Johnston said that Halaiano did a superb job at speaking loud. I also think that Halaiano did a great job. Everyone backstage did an excellent job not talking. Even though it was raining outside we still made it on stage at the right time. We got dressed up in our costumes in Room Four. We waited for awhile before we went on stage. Miss Paton told some people to take the boxes to the hall. Patrick, Yvette Fine had to take Waka No. 2 onto the stage, Caitlin, and Samantha had to take Waka No. 1 onto the stage and Angel (me) had to take the oars. I think that I need to talk louder even though I have a microphone. I also think that Lavinia, Fine and Patrick need to have  louder voices. I think that our whole class needs to get off and on stage faster. We also think we need to get more people to get the wooden props off the stage so that we don’t have to get the backstage people getting them all by running back to get them again and again. Overall I think that Room Five did an excellent job.

My reflection on Room 5's Production Item By Angel

My reflection on our production item

What is the story line of your production item?

The first scene focuses on Rangi (Halaiano), Papa (Lavinia), Aoraki and his three brothers. Rangi decided to send his four sons to look at the new earth. The four brother sailed day and night in the canoe. The brothers saw no land. The skies turned grey and rain started to fall. Aoraki was flung onto one of the rocks. The canoe did not sink. The brothers scrambled on top of the canoe. The canoe turned into a long piece of land. The second scene focuses on the brothers growing old. The brothers grew old. Their hair turned from black to white and their bodies turned into great stone mountains. Aoraki was the highest mountains and his brother were smaller mountains. The third scene focuses on Aoraki’s friends being worried. When Aoraki did not return home his friends got worried. Tuterakiwhano (Patrick) had an idea. His friends sailed and sailed to look for Aoraki. The friends saw the broken canoe and the land. Aoraki is a Maori myth and legend.

Who are the actors and characters?

Aoraki -  (Latham), Rakiroa (Creedence), Rakirua (Cyprus), Rokiroa (Thomas), Rangi (Halaiano), Papa (Lavinia), Tuterakiwhano (Patrick), Hine Nui i te po (Fine), Mokopuna (Caitlin, Samantha, Oh S’mar and Jasmine), Mountains (Reon, Lani and Lorenzo), Trees (Harry & Jessie), Fish (Tim, San Tat, Jane and Jacob), Ducks (Raymond & Jason), Flowers (Zeba, June, Jharda’e, Linda and Ducati), Eel (John) and Narrator (Angel).

What role is Room 5 in the school production?

Room 5 is taking the role of Aoraki (The Southern Alps) Mountains.

What props need to be made/completed?

All the props are completed exept for Tu’s waka (which needs to be put together) Hine Nui i te po’s cape (which needs to dry) and Te Namu’s wing (which needs to dry).

How are you making the costumes and other props?

First Miss Paton draw an animal or prop onto a big piece of cardboard, then we paint the drawing and then cut it out.

Production Goals: Angel

Production Goals

How to move from an OK performance to a Very Good Performance Move from being ZERO to HERO

* Talk slower - EVERYONE

* Look at the audience when we are speaking and acting out our parts

* Use more expression

* Don’t get distracted by the people behind- Cyprus, Thomas, Patrick, Linda, Fine, Angel, Jharda’e, Samantha, Oh S’mar, Jasmine, Jason

* Know the timing off by heart

* Talk louder - Fine, Angel,

* Be confident don’t be shy

* When you hear your cue- act on it.

* Look not laugh when someone makes a mistake

Don’t giggle when someone is acting

* Bodies facing audience, but also looking at the actor beside you - include your audience

* Don’t get distracted when you’re back stage

* Use some actions when you’re talking

* Get ready back stage

* Spread out those who are flowers, mountains, fish,

* Don’t let your class down

* Put lots of effort into the class performance

* Take your role seriously

* Leave other people alone

* Concentrate on your part

* Try and make the performance real

When I am speaking, I need to say it out loud and use lots of expression. I need to concentrate on my part and not anyone else. I also need to put lots of effort into my part and not let the class down on the actual night.

My argument on Should P.B.S have a cafeteria: Angel

Should P.B.S have a school cafeteria?

I believe that Panmure Bridge should have a school cafeteria because it gives an opportunity for a person or student in the community a job.

Firstly, cafeterias can serve healthy foods including sandwiches, fruits, veggies and many more. Healthy foods can give your body and brain the energy to play sports and to get motivated in your learning. The healthy foods that are served in the cafeterias can help the students think straight in their learning. Cafeterias can serve much more healthy food then the shops where you buy pies and chips.

Secondly, It could give an opportunity to a person or a student in the community a job. It can help students count the up the money and learn how to give change back. They also learn how to learn how to serve food and make the foods.

Thirdly, it can save lots of money for parents. Some shops sell food that kids love and adore, but it might be too expensive. In a cafeteria it can save parents lots of money . Some parents might not have that much money to buy their child's lunch at the shops. Some cafeterias might sell foods that are really cheap.

Overall I think that Panmure Bridge School should have a cafeteria because the cafeteria can sell healthy foods, it can give an opportunity to a person or student in the community a job and it could save parents a lot of money. Those are my three reasons why Panmure Bridge School should have a cafeteria.

My speech - Should animals be used for scientific research: Angel

My speech - Should animals be used for scientific research? By Angel

Animals have something in common with humans, that thing is feelings. How would it feel like if you were taken away from your home and your family just for a scientific research? How would it feel like being in a weird scary room with needles being pricked into your body? Well, this is what some of the animals are experiencing.

Why do some scientists do research on animals?, why can’t they do it on other things? Some people think that the information that the scientists are gathering is quite entertaining including me, but the main source of the information is animals and how they are being treated. Animals shouldn’t be treated this way for research. If you think that going to the doctors and getting a blood test hurts, that is nothing to animals who are used for research, animals even get killed.

According to animal testing statistics about 13.4 million cats and dogs are put to death each year. 19.5 million are killed each year in research. The most common animal that is used in research are rabbits which equals a total of 245,786 rabbits. Each year about 70 million animals are blinded, scalded, force - fed chemicals and hurt or killed. 61% of animals suffer in no pain. Lots of different animals are tested. Tigers, dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, pigs, sheep and many more. Approximately 170,000 hamsters are used in research each year.  Several animal tests are commonly performed on rabbits, rats, mice and guinea pigs. Did you know that 92%  of experimental drugs that are and safe on animals fail to work on humans because they are too dangerous or they won't work.  

God created animals for a reason. Animals are really fun to play with.  I simply love animals. Scientists should stop using animals for their testing and start caring for them. It would be such a shame for me and other animal lovers to see how many dogs, cats and other species die each year through research.

In conclusion, I strongly believe that animal testing should stop so the world can be a safer place for both animals and humans.

Should homework be Compulsory at P.B.S: Angel

This is my table on Should homework be Compulsory at P.B.S. 

My argument on Should we wear a school uniform at Panmure Bridge School

Should we wear a school uniform at Panmure Bridge School

Should we wear a school uniform at Panmure Bridge School. I think we should because it shows that we are representing our school.

Firstly, you can be identified by your school uniform. If you get lost in a crowd someone can identify you if you’re wearing a school uniform. Your school uniform also represents the school that you are from. If you are in dangerous situations someone can recognize you by your school uniform.     

Secondly, If you bring your clothes from home they may get ripped or damaged. Your school uniform is made out of a hard wearing durable materials, so that they can last for a long time and your younger siblings can wear them. If your clothes from home get dirty you may need to use a special kind of liquid or washing powder. Your uniform does not need any special kind of washing powder or liquid because they can go into the washing machine.

Thirdly, You can create a competition from your mufti.  When you wear your mufti clothes from home someone might like and steal them from you. If someone brings some really cool shoes or clothes to school hey can be really hard for some students whose parents are struggling with money. If you bring your good mufti clothes from home you can get bullied because some people might like your clothes and bully you for your clothes.

Overall I think school uniforms are best for parents.  Your school uniform it made out of hard wearable material, you won’t get bullied and other schools can identify you.

Should we wear a school uniform at P.B.S

This is my table that I created on Should we wear a school uniform at Panmure Bridge School.

My time at Denny's

This is my story on my time at Denny's. On Tuesday I went to Denny's in Pakuranga. My whole family came along with me. I wanted to order a Junior Burger. It was delicious. After that we ate some dessert.  I had a double chocolate fudge cake, which was also delicious. I had a very fun time at Denny's. I wish I could have gone again.
