Hi guys today in reading I have finished and now i'm going to be doing a prediction task. The prediction task is when you have to predict what is going to happen next. What do you think the consequence of Denny helping at the accident? Do you think that Todd and the others will change their attitude towards him?
My prediction is that they may treat i'm differently and be more kind, happy and sometimes people might give him free stuff because of it. Its because he basically saved a guys life because if he didn't put pressure on the person wound he would be dead.
I am a student at in Uru Mānuka. In 2020 I was a year 7 and in 2021 I will be a year 8. This is a place where I will be able to share my learning with you. Please note....some work won't be edited - just my first drafts, so there may be some surface errors. I would love your feedback, comments, thoughts and ideas.

Blackout Poem - Digital
Hi guys today in art we have been doing Blackout Poems again, but instead of using paper we did it on our chrome books. We used a site called 'Blackout Poetry Marker', it was pretty fun to use, there was three stories that you could choose from, Alice in Wonderland, Pride and Prejudice, and Heart of Darkness. I deiced just to use one story the story that I made my blackout poetry from was Alice in Wonderland. I selected a few words, the reason why I choose the words was because the kind of stood out when I skimmed across the work. Comparing digital and paper I say that I enjoyed doing both but I liked the digital one more. The only reason why is because it was more faster and I don't really need supplies to do the poems. Here are the pictures of my poems and i hope you enjoy them.
Language Week.
Hi guys today in wananga we have a new language week. The two languages/countries that we are learning about is Niuean + Tokelau, they are both pacific countries. The activity that I choose to do first was a writing task. Its when you listen to one of the songs that are linked and you have to write something about a image that you see while you listen to it. Here is the image that I saw but in a writing form I hope you enjoy!.
I see two people sitting on the sand on a beach looking at the waves that are coming towards them. The colour of the water looks like a pure cyan and it sparkles like a crystal when the sun is reflecting on it. The two people that are sitting on the beach is that there is one male and one female, the female has a flower crown across her head with beautiful reds and oranges. The male on the other hand has flowers in his hair. Their hair is flowing in the wind. There is also palms trees that are moving slowly around them. Even though they aren’t near them they can still hear the noises that its making.

100 Word Challenge
Hi guys today in wananga we are doing the 100 word challenge. What we are doing for the 100 word challenge is that there is a pug wrapped up in a blanket out in a forest somewhere. Now after we look at the photo we have to write something about the picture but it has to bee only 100 words. Here is my 100 word challenge I hope you enjoy
The pug wrapped the blanket around him. It felt nice and warm against his fur but it also felt itchy at the same time. The blanket was on the lighter side of the colours, a light peach, pale pink, and a pale blue. The dark green leaves slowly moved against the breeze. The dog sat up a bit to sniff the leaves. The leaves smelt like it would taste bitter if someone were to eat them. The dog decided to walk around with the blanket around him, the blanket was itchy but it will do. The dog then sat down.

Playing to Win - Fast Finishers
Upstander Actions
Hi guys today in wananga we are doing some more task on Pink Shirt Day. The activity that we are doing is that we are getting an action and then we write a result to the action that you did to help that person. Here is the activity that I did I hope you enjoy.
Awhi/Support the person experiencing bullying
Result - I think that the result would be that if you watch the person being bullied and after you could tell them that you saw what happened and you can encourage them to tell a teacher and also help them and support them through out the period of time that they have been being bullied.
Distract - Interrupting the bullying in some type of way
Call it! - If you feel safe you can tell the person who is bullying someone that it isn't right.Leave and Act - If you don't feel safe to step in while the bullying is happening you can move away from the situation and later on you can ask the person who was being bullying if the want help.
Get some other help - Get some other help is when you support or help the person who is being bullied by getting help by other people a trusted adult or a teacher.

Art - Blackout poetry
Hi guys today in art we did blackout poetry. Blackout poetry is when you have a book, news paper or something that has writing on it, you choose a page you then circle or outline the words that you want and then it can make a poem out of the words you circled or outlined. During the first session of doing this we started off with doing some normal ones without drawings, during this session we drew something that linked with our poem. My experience with writing these poem's is that I found it really fun and I also found it really fun to draw something underneath my poems. I was feeling really happy to do this activity because I found it as a way for people to get their creativity out. My favourite poem out of all of them is the bird one on the end. Here is a picture of the poems that I did.
Pink Shirt Day - Opinion
Hi guys today in wga we are doing some things about pink shirt day. one of the activites that you had a choice to do was a question and we had to follow the question with our opinion. The question was "Why do you think Pink Shirt Day has become a global movement". My opinion on this is that i think it became a global movement to spread awareness about bullying, and that people shouldn't be judge by wearing a certain type of colour or design. I think that the message was spread around the world because the bullying happens everywhere and also that it would've been spread throughout social media and people paid mor attention to it. It would've moved people who would have been bullied before and wanted to stick up for the kid even though it didn't happen in their country.

Reading - Summary
Hi guys today in reading we stared to read our book, the book that we read was called "Playing To Win". After we read the chapters that we had to we have to write a summary on what the book was about, who the main character was, what we know about them, some main events, and what we predict will happen next, here is my summary on what I have read so far.
The few things that have happened so far is that there is a main character and his name is Denny Logan, he recently moved from his old high school to a new one, I say that his personality would be that he is a chill type of guy and he doesn't really care what others think about him. He also likes to play rugby and has two sisters that he usually refers to as The Monsters. During the first few days he enrolled to his new school, he also got a job and a new car. On Denny's first day at his new school he was in class, a guy who's name was Todd walked into class, Todd seems like the guy who is to full of himself, he says loudly out of nowhere someone parked in his parking spot. Denny found out that he parked in Todd's parking spot, it seemed like he didn't really care that he parked in Todd's parking spot. He also meet a girl named Alice who was pretty nice and Todd looked like he had a crush on her.
