Niue language week

This week was Niuean language week, in our Friday assembly Mrs Langitupu and Miss Taulagi got together a group of students to perform a Niuean dance. They had a large group of students and four of Pt England School Niuean students all spoke and introduced themselves in their Niuean language. I really enjoyed the dance the most.

Mr Jacobson also showed us some instruments, one was a Conch shell that he blew through to make a horn like sound, other instruments he showed us were a trumpet, and a long horn that he could blow through to make a sound also. I enjoyed todays assembly.

                                            Music Madness

This term we are learning about Music Madness, each team had to put together a skit to show how they were going to add music to their curriculum this term.

Team 5: Mrs Tele’a,Miss Tapuke,Mr Wiseman, Mrs Ilaoa, Miss Whaea Kelly.

Why? Because it was funny, and cool. They were acting funny and all the kids and the teachers laughed.  

The soundtrack they used was from The Lion King Movie.  They showed how you can use the same clip and use different music for the background which then changes what the clip is trying to say.  

So this term we will be learning all about how music makes us feel and the range of emotions that music can bring about in people.

I think I will look forward to this term and learning more about music.

Catching flounders

Today Pt England School had a special outing. The whole school gathered and walked down to the Tamaki Estuary to watch Mr Voight and some of our students, cast large flounder nets out to try and catch some flounder. When we got to the reserve we all sang some waiata and said a karakia the group of students were already in the water dragging the net through the sea to catch the flounder. The reason we were catching flounder was so we could bring them back to school and put them in our special tank, where Mr Voight and his team would take care of them. We were very lucky that it did not rain. Everyone had a nice morning out of the classroom.

My speech topic is about soccer

                      Hi

My speech topic is about soccer.

Back in Rarotonga where I grew up. I played soccer for my school. We would play soccer during our breaks and after school.

I enjoyed playing  with my friends.

We competed against other schools around the island.

We trained at school, then we played against other schools after school and sometimes we had games on the weekend.

What I liked the most was playing with my team mates, and my teammates are funny.

Our team was good at playing soccer and we won a lot of our games.

  I think kids should play sports.

My role model

This is about my mama and why she is my role model.

She is helpful with cooking and cleaning.

She is helpful because she always helps people.

She is funny when she does funny things like tell jokes.

Everything i have explained show’s why my mum is my role model.

My mum is my role model because she does everything for me and my siblings. I also help my mum cook for us and also clean the house. She has taught me how to be a respectful person.  My mum always puts her needs on hold for other people. Lastly she tells funny jokes that me and my family always laugh, that's why my mum is my role model.
