Literacy Rotation

This tearm at Pt England School the teachers from Team 5 have made an interesting rotation for the team 5 student. School has been starting at 8:30 for the year 7 and 8 students to have a chance to learn with each teacher an to learn new things.  We had a choice of four things such as visual arts, stop-motion film making, hyperstudio and literacy.


Last week my first session was visual art. Our teacher was Miss Tito. When we were doing art Miss Tito taught us a lot about kowhaiwhai and Maori words such as koru, pitoe, ponga and  kowhaiwhai,  which is a patten that is joined together.


I really enjoyed my time in visual art with Miss Tito. I really enjoyed art because it is my favourite subject. I learned many Maori words  from Miss Tito and pattens.


This week I am in literacy. As you might know, literacy is about reading and  writing. My teacher for literacy is Mrs Nua. Today was my first day doing reading - it was really interesting because we read things from the newspaper and played word games.


I feel that the new literacy rotation is really cool because it gives us time to work more and to lean more things.

Cook Off

Jason was not like every other person out there his dream was to be a cook.He had practices for years. A competition was coming to the home town of New Zone. It was Jason turn to make a new life. He packed his bag and left before the sun hit noon. A man named Jake was was just like Jason he wanted to be a cook. He lock up the house and sat off for an adventure.
