Mr Patterson & Raenan

Today we had an inspiring talk from Mr Patterson and Raenan. They came today to speak to us year seven and eights about stuff like you choose your decisions and setting your goals and more. The thing that inspired me the most was to take advantage of the opportunities. Raenan talked about himself and how he had a goal to be head boy at Tamaki College and he is deputy head boy for 2018. When he talked about take advantage of the opportunities, it means to take opportunities that you have now before you don't have it. We learned a lot from Mr Patterson and Raenan and take what we learned with them where we go.

The Gingerbread's

The Gingerbread's

Once upon a time there was a young couple who lived in a little cottage in a little farm.It was only them two and the animals that lived there. As the young man was working he was hungry so he asked his wife can you make me a Gingerbread Man.

So the lady made gingerbread, she made a batch of gingerbread dough, then rolled it flat and cut it in a shape of a Gingerbread Man, the lady could smell the gingerbread and that made her hungry, so she made a Gingerbread Lady for her. As the young lady opened the oven door to check if the gingerbread's were ready she forgot to get her oven gloves that was on the table. So she went to get it and forgot to close the oven door.

So then the gingerbread man whispered to the gingerbread lady do you want to go I don’t want to be eaten. Then the gingerbread’s jumped out of the oven and ran but the lady saw them. Then she went after them and the gingerbread man and lady said you can’t catch us we are the gingerbread's. The gingerbread's ran discreetly through the garden and past the man. The man said to STOP I want to eat you and the gingerbread's said no we are too fast.

So then the man chased after them and the gingerbread's ran even faster then they ran passed the pig. Stop, the pig snorted , I want to eat you. But the gingerbread's ran even faster. Then the pig chased after the gingerbread’s. The gingerbread's were trapped, they thought should we go by the trees or run. Then the gingerbread man pondered the question which way to go.

So they made a discreet decision to go through the trees and hide their unit they are all gone. They were hiding in the trees trying not to make a noise. But then gingerbread lady saw a bug on her and blurted out loud I don’t want to hide in the trees let's go somewhere else. Suddenly the man heard and said go through the trees. The gingerbread's ran for their lives like if it was the end of the world. As they were running they found this big pile of hay and went in there unit they hear nothing.

The man, lady and animals were to tired of looking so they just decided to go back home. So the gingerbread's ran away as far as they could and lived there.

A + I = M talk from Mr Patterson

Today we had an inspiring talk from Mr Patterson. Mr Patterson came to talk to the year 7 & 8's about A + I = M and that means aspiration, inspiration and motivation. First he talked about what you want to do and dream of. Then he talked about who inspires you. But the thing I liked about the talk and what I am going to take with me is to be a giver and have the ability to notice an act. He talked to us about this 11 year old boy called Willy who was a giver and gave his lunch and money to this homeless man for two weeks. Now the homeless man has a job and home and that I know now that I would like to be a giver.

The Rules

This is my work that I have done this week. Hope you enjoy.

What it means to be a good role model

Do you have what it takes to be a good role model? Well here are some different ways how you can be a good role model.

One way to be a good role model is doing a lot of jobs that would make people happy like helping them with their work and giving them stuff that they need and if people see what you are doing they would want to copy you.

Another thing a good role model would do is share their things, like if your friend doesn't have any lunch you would share your lunch with them and that’s what a good role model would do share.

Lastly a good role model would treat people how you would want to be treated. Like if someone asks if they can play the game you are playing you would want to say yes. If you say no and that person you said no to starts a game and you ask to play they would say no because you said no to them and didn't treat them like a friend.

So there we have it different ways how to be a good role model.

This is my top 3 questions and how I solved it.

1.75 x 180=???

75 x 100=7500

75 x 80=6000

7500+6000=13500

2.180 x 48= ???

180 x 40=7200

180 x 8 =1440

7200+1440=8640

3.13500 x 8640=???

13500 x 8600=116100000

13500 x 40 = 540000

116100000+540000=116640000

A HIDDEN ISLAND

It was a Sunday when I went downstairs to clean the basement when I was where the books area was, I was looking which books to throw out and which not to throw out.When I was going through the books I found this old book called A Hidden Island.

I read about for only five minutes and then when I looked on the next page I saw a picture of my grandpa,is that him on that island.I freezed for a second and was thinking is that really grandpa on that hidden island.

The next day in the morning I went to tell my father that his dad is on that hidden island and I think he lives there all along.But dad didn't believe me.Then I gave the book to him and he read some of it and when he flipped to next page he saw a picture of his dad.He looked at it and then started to cry and said why did he leave us.He asked me if he is alive and I said I don’t know.We stayed up late reading the book and getting some information and where the island was at.

The next day we saw that the island was in the pacific ocean.Dad booked us I fight to the nearest island there.We packed all of our stuff and was ready to go.In the plane I was reading the book and was getting more info.We landed on that island and was asking people if they could take us to the hidden island and then this man heard us and took us there.During the trip we could see that the sky was getting darker and darker.It said in the book that going in the storm is how you are going to get to the island,so we went.

Then I woke up and saw dad and that man standing in front of me with this other man.Is that you grandpa, yes it’s me kid I gave grandpa a big hug.Then he took us around the island. We were only sleeping there for two night’s it was fun but then it was time to go.I hope I come back to see you grandpa, have a good trip said grandpa.After that it was time to go back home.
