What is Fiafia?

What is Fiafia:

What is Fiafia to you? Why are you asking me this I hear you say. Fiafia mean three things they are celebrations Well it is because I at my school Pt England we are having a  celebration and by doing that we performances to each other and other people like parents and Whanau. Before the big night weeks and weeks before it we get to pick three groups then some of the teachers talk about what group they're going to be in. Then we have lots and lots of practice for heaps of weeks and then we put on a performance for people. Before 2000 they had Fiafia each now and then. But now we have been doing Fiafia each second year.

My Fiafia group:

My Fiafia group was pacific contemporary dance. We had to do a lot of practice like at lunch and morning tea. On the 6th week we got to try on our dress but mine one and some of the others dress’ were too big for us. Through the weeks it got fixed but my dress were still bit too big. On the night I put my dress on and Miss Muliaumasealii and Mrs Jamali made it shorter with safety pins. It felt a bit weird when we went on stage because I’m not used to dancing in dress unless they are a  skirt dress’. Here I come Fiafia 2016!!!

New Zealand Bush Layers

I am learning to find and use information from a range of sources. We are reading about the native bush and ferns. This picture shows the different layers of New Zealand’s native bush.

Fred and his amazing night powers

We are learning to: Share our understanding of the text as it is read




The book we are reading is Fred and his amazing night powers. This were the answers for the sheet.

Why did the boys make Fred sleep on the bottom bunk?

So they didn’t have the responsibility for Fred getting hurt.

The reason why it says responsibility for Fred getting hurt is because he is blind. The reason why the book is called Fred and his amazing night powers is because he is blind and his ears works alot and can hear well.

(This is Fred)

Year Five and Six Camp Recount

Hey there did you hear about the Camp at Pt England school? Well if you have or if you haven't I’m going to tell you about it and what we did. We had the Camp in three days with alot of fun. In those three days where Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. If you were wondering who the Camp was for well it was for the Year five and Six at Pt England school. Thats why its called Year Five and Six Camp. The Camp was held at Pt England school and thats where we slept at the school. It was awesome. We had groups and I was in the Care Bears. Its called that because we care but like the little bears.

On Thursday afternoon just before lunch my group and teacher leader went down to Pt England Beach to kayak. When Care Bears got there we saw the kayak crew and when we came closer to the beach we saw Mr Burt and helpers eating lunch. Then Mr Burt stood up and talked to us little while then the Care Bears went down to the water and started to put some safety life vests on to keep us safe in the water. When we went in to our kayaks we had to put in foot bottom foot.

The day before that my group went cooking. The boys cooked fish,fritters and thing like that. While they do that the girls baked cookies and cheese scones. Who were you cooking with I hear you say? Well we cooked with Mrs Jarman. She was really cool to cooked with. First the of all we picked our partners or our partners picked us. My partner was Seini and she picked me. She was all right to work with. Next thing we did was we went through instructions then started making the cookies. When we were finish one tray of tasty cookies some of the teachers came in. They asked what we cooking and we told them chocolate chip cookies. After that we were so hungry we had a cookie each and they were divine and real tasty.
