Weekend Recount

IALT: Write a recount about what I did in the Weekend.

Saturday

Saturday morning I woke up and my cousin Sifa laka was at our house for the weekend.We went to get ready for our Faith in god at 10:00am but luckily we woke up at 8:00am.Once we were ready my sister Tee made us eggs and toast and we also ate with my brother Jiuta. Once we finished break-fast my dad dropped us off to our Faith In God lesson.Our teacher for the day was my Tee's bestfriend and her name was Rose.In Faith in God we were talking about making a game that we were going to give to someone as service.Once we finished Faith in God Rose, Sifa laka and I dropped of the Primary President Sister Schaumkel to her house.When we finished dropping of Sister Schaumkel home Rose dropped us of home.When we got home me and Sifa laka had to fold all the washing inside our wash house because we were going to feed the Sister Missionaries.Before the Sister Missionaries came over we went shopping to make some food for them.Once they came over and finished eating the shared a quick scripture and a prayer before they left.Once they went Me, Rose and Sifa Laka went to pick Rose's dog Melela.Melela is my sister Losa's dog Yoshi's baby.It's so funny why she is called Melela because in Fijian Melela means small but Melela is bigger than Yoshi.Once we got home we went upstairs and watched movies on netflix until we were told to go to sleep.

Sunday

Sunday morning I woke up and waited for my Sister to make break-fast but she wasn't even awake so I went upstairs and got ready for church. I wore a white dress covered in flowers and a little white cardigan.When I went down stairs I did my hair and I had Marmite and Butter on my Toast for breakfast.Once we finished break-fast and we were all ready I went with  my dad and Baiden who is a Teacher in the young men.When we got to church we sat in one of the middle row. The first talk that was said by Brother Pita was about Smiles and how you should treat a daughter of god.His talk was so beautiful and I was feeling happy because I knew that I was a daughter of got as well.When the sacrament meeting finished we went to our classes and our teacher was just going to be Paia because Raymond is going on his mission to Kiribati.Once our class finished we went to our sharing time and we were talking about the the presidents in our church.Once we finished our sharing time we all went home.When we got home I just played with Sifa Laka until we were told that he had to go home.So I said goodbye to Sifa Laka, Rose, Tee and Lossa because they were going to a YSA activity and then I went with my dad to Nana's house and she is a teacher aid in Room 4.When my dad finished watching the rugby game we went home and we went to sleep.

Cybersmart Top Tips

IALT: Make a poster about a tip that I have learnt in my Cybersmart lesson

Today I have finished my cybersmart top tip poster.We had to do this for our Cybersmart lesson with Miss Shearing.I had lots of fun doing the task but I found that it was sort of challenging to find the right picture.Here is my poster that I have created.

Royal family gets a pay rise

IALT: Write a reflection about what I had just read

Royal Family gets a pay rise

Today I was reading through Kiwi Kids News and I saw an article about the Royal Family getting a pay rise.When I say Royal family I don't mean the dance crew I mean Queen Elizabeth's family.According to the article the committee is putting the extra money towards a funding for a $583 million dollar Buckingham palace renovation.The increase of the money will mean that the Queen will receive more money from the annual profits.I think that this is a very interesting article because the Buckingham Palace will get a renovation and I think that this article is also a sad article because people are having to pay taxes and they might not have enough money to pay the taxes.

Technology - Tinkercad

IALT:Write a reflection about what I did in Technology

Today  we went to Technology for our Graphics lesson.So today Miss Ferguson showed us a web site called TinkerCad.This website is a site that lets people make 3D objects.I thought that this lesson was really fun and cool because I was able to use a site that I haven't used before.In addition if you would like to use the website it is called Tinkercad.I was able to make a name tag for myself but instead of using my real name I used my Nickname which is Bubba.I found making a name tag challenging because I haven't used a site like Tinkercad but in the end I learnt that I just needed to try my best.Here is a photo of my name tag

I think that this name tag was very good considering that it was my first time using the site.I was also able to make my own creature using an Egg shape.I found this very challenging because we had to use a lot of Work planes to attach things.I called this my Evil Egg with a cap.Here is my photo of my Creature.

In conclusion I thought that this lesson was very cool because I was able to use Tinkercad for the first time.

Please leave a comment.

IALT: Write a reflection about Kiwisport

Kiwisport Reflection

Monday 27th February Room 9 went downstairs to the hall for our Badminton lesson with our instructor Ben.When we got in the hall we were given instructions to play stuck in the mud.Once we finished playing stuck in the mud, we went inside and he started teaching us how to move when your are going to hit the shuttle with Forehand.Learning how to move to hit the shuttle with Forehand was really difficult because I thought that I was going to fall.The way you move to hit the shuttle using Forehand sounded easy but was a little bit hard because I had to step out with my right foot and bring my left foot along in the back.After we got the hang of it me and my buddy Akanesi went to play a rally.A rally is when you hit the shuttle at your partner’s Forehand side.When he thought we were ready he called us down to the mat.When we were sitting down he taught us how to move when we are using Backhand.The movement that we had to use was more difficult because we had to first step out with our left leg if we were right handers and then we had to step out again with our right crossing over our left leg.So me and my buddy Akanesi went outside and practiced stepping, It was really hard .Once Ben thought we we were ready he told us we were going to do a rally with our partner.It was a lot harder than practicing to step because it felt like you were playing against someone for a title.When he called the people outside in he talked to us about the way we move to hit the shuttle.Once he finished his talk we put away the Badminton gear, said thank you and went back to class.

Valentine’s day was originated from a ancient Roman festival called Lupercalia. Lupercalia was celebrated annually on February 15th.

Why do we celebrate it?

We celebrate Valentine’s Day because it’s an Ancient and Roman Tradition. Also February is known as a month of Romance and how The real name of Valentine’s Day is St Valentine’s Day.

How did it came about?

Valentine’s day got it’s name from a famous saint.The most popular story about St Valentine was that he was a Priest in Rome in the third century.Emperor Claudius the second banned marriage because he thought the men women married were bad solders.In strike St Valentine thought that it was unreasonable and was really unfair.So St Valentine broke the rules and arranged a secret marriage.When Emperor found out St Valentine was thrown into jail and sentenced to death.In jail he fell in love wit the jailer’s daughter and when they were about to do the execution on the 14th February he gave a love letter signed From your Valentine.

When was it first celebrated?

Valentines day’s roots are from a roman festival called Lupercalia. Pope Gelasius 1 then realised that the 14th of February was St Valentine's day.

The 14th of February is a day where it is traditional to send a Card, Gift or Letter to someone you admire of romantically involved with.

Who was involved?
