Me sueing

Talofa my name is Aisa and throughout this week I have been playing rugby and by accident someone ripped my buttons off my shirt, leaving one button on my school top. Secondly in those days I have been fixing my buttons and learning at the same time how sew buttons on to your top. 

I feel that I have done a good job on fixing my buttons because I have fixed all of them and fixed all of them myself. Also I thank Mr. Mark for helping and teaching how to sew the buttons.

Make sure your uniform is clean and looks smart. Also it is important to make sure you are wearing your uniform properly so that you are representing your school with pride.

Johnny Pohe and the Great Escape School Journal 

May 2019 Level 4 

Describe how Stalag Luft III was designed to make escape difficult. The prisoners’ barracks

were raised off the ground so the guards

could spot signs of tunnelling, and the camp

was deliberately built on sandy soil that

easily collapsed.

Explain Tom, Dick and Harry. Dick was abandoned after its planned exit

point was built over during a camp extension,

and Tom was found by the Germans and

dynamited. In the end, Harry was the only

hope. Building

Describe everything that happened on the night of the 24th March.

Johnny made an escape. The men had to wait for a moonless

night. One arrived on 24 March 1944,

and the escape began. They struck

trouble straight away. It was the coldest

March in thirty years, and the exit

trapdoor was frozen solid. Freeing it

caused a ninety-minute delay. Worse was

to come. It was suddenly discovered that

the tunnel came up short of the nearby

forest, which was needed to provide cover.

The escape went ahead, and the first man

emerged at 10.30 p.m. Six minutes later,

he was followed by another.

These six-minute intervals were much

longer than the original plan of one man

per minute. A watchtower was nearby,

and the extra time was needed so men

could reach the woods. Word was sent

back that no one with a number above a

hundred would be getting away before

daybreak.

Explain what happened to Johnny. Johnny went missing.

Where are Johnny’s ashes buried? Poznan Poland. 

Digital tech

Throughout the past we have been researching about, Ethical, Environmental and Social. We were given a choice to pick which one we would like to research about. I choose Environment, because I want to learn more about mother nature and about the ocean. Secondly we got to make a robot and a maze filled with rubbish to show people why our Environment is getting affected which is because our sea animals are dying because of litter.
Research template

Our issue:

Thirdly in the past week my group has been creating a maze that looks like a ocean bed, filled with rocks and rubbish. We are also not doing this for fun but we are doing this to support the Environment. The reason why we made a robot and this kind of activity is so that, we can show the world how important the Environment is, and sea creatures are dying. The Environment is very important in life.

Our robot:

Secondly, we have a robot which is called a sphero. What the sphero does is that it will have a race around the maze and see who can collect most of the rubbish first and who can complete the maze first.

I feel that my group has done well with this experiment because of, helping each other, communication and team work. Maybe next time we can focus more and get the work done.

If you done digital, what issue which you do???

100 word challenge...

There was a kid called Lealiifano. Lealiifano was from Samoa. Lealiifano had two sisters and four brothers. All of the brothers and sisters slept together.
 One night, Lealiifano had to sleep by himself and started to hear strange noises from the back. He went outside to have a look. He could see something moving. BOOO!, the mouse said. 
Lealiifano was happy that there was no ghost or anything at the backyard, but, he heard another noise. There were to many palm trees he couldn’t see anything. Something big was walking near him, then it was quite, then BOOM! Lealiifano was gone.

In Tapu ae you have to get into two groups of seven. Tapu Ae is a game  a lot of people like to play. How to play Tapu Ae is, that, on attack you have to get the ball to the other side of the court and throw the ball at the balls. There will be three cones set up at the end of both sides of the court with balls on top of them. You would have to throw or hit the balls with the ball. Tapu Ae is one of many Kī (ball) game variations. Traditionally the Pawero area's on the field were sometimes specially constructed mounds of dirt. Beep test: How the beep test works is that at the start, the person will give you 5 seconds to get ready, then you will hear the beep go. It would take 9 laps for you to achieve the next level.  Beep test Results: 18 Level 4.3 Crash Pad Cricket: From the past week, we have been playing a game called crash pad cricket. We were split into two groups. One group will have a bat and the other team will be balling and trying to catch the ball. The game Crash pad cricket is just like normal cricket but Crash pad cricket has pads set up at every corner, so when the hitter, hits the ball, he/she will have to run to each pad until they finish, and the other team has to throw the ball at the person who is running to get them out.
