Finally the day has come !!

Finally on Tuesday at 2:00 in the afternoon our Year Seven students got to have our very own netbooks, how cool is that!! We were so happy and delighted because we were the first Year Seven's (in our Tamaki Cluster) to trial our new netbooks. I think we are one of the luckiest schools in the Tamaki cluster trialing out our new netbooks, as part of the trial, we had to take a photo of ourselves and put it on our blog.

I would like to say a huge thanks to our very generous donors who generously gave us some money to go towards buying our first 100 netbooks.

Our year7 girls rugby game against Viscount....

Last week our year7 girls had their rugby game against Viscount . On that day we had to run around the field 3 or 2 times . I felt really nervous about the game because they were big and tall but I knew this would be a good game . When we had to get changed we first had to do a game plan for our game . After that we had to practise where our positions were and when do we come in to do a scrum .

When the game was going to start my legs were full of goes bumps . As we all run up to line getting ready to

kick off the whistle went brinnnnng ! when we kicked off “ Leni tackled the first runner . when we were playing I notice that my shorts were falling off Aaarh as I pull my shorts up getting ready to tackle .

My best part about the game was that we played really well and that people got to have a run !! .

but then some of our girls got tackled badly which was “ Sela . When it went to half time I got advice from this man , the weird part about it was that his advice actually worked so then I kept on doing it .

As we go back on the field I had my own plan which was to trick one of the players .

This last half was pretty funny because both teams were passing the ball everywhere and there were people slipping on mud’s . I think this should be my best game ever playing against Viscount even though we lost but we still hadeach others backs .

I would we like to say thank you very much to my couch " Bobbi and helpers !!

YOU GUYS ROCK !! ,,,,,,,

Volcano Report

How does a volcano erupt ?

Underneath the earths crust the pressure of the magma builds up. It then is forced up and it makes a vent in the earths surface. After it has erupted the lava then dries up and forms a mountain .

About volcanoes .

Volcanoes are mountains that erupt. It is a vent in the earths crust through which magma and gasses erupt. The word volcano comes from the god of fire, Vulcan. Volcanoes are all over the world. Most volcanoes are on the edge of the tectonic plates .

3 different typ of volcanoes

The shield volcano got its name because people thought it looked like the shape of an ancient warriors shield. The shield volcano is low in silica. They are shallow sided and have a flat bottomed crater. It has a long fluid lava flow which can also flow into sea. Shield volcanoes can also be found on the ocean crust.

The stratovolcanoes are the most famous volcanoes. Mount St. Helens, Mt Vesuvius and Mt Fuji are all stratovolcanoes. When they start to erupt it begins with an explosion of ash and cinders. These volcanoes are often found on subduction zones.

Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest volcanoes.

These volcanoes are formed by low silica magma that is runny. They are steep sided volcanoes that are cone shaped.

What is the biggest volcano in Auckland ?

ACESS NEW UNIFORM

ACESS !!

Don't we look GREAT in our new uniform.
As our Aces team heads along to the courts , first we had to take a team photo . After that we all got sorted then headed off to the netball courts . When we arrived we went for a jog around the the courts then had to do 4 side steps to the line then come back . My position was CENTER then I will have to change to WA in the next half then it was time to play so we stretched first and drank water.
As our game was about to start it was our ball first ! The ball come down to our shooters our team got the first point . Then the game became harder because the other team had more point so then our team went hard on them so then we were in the lead it was nearly half time so we threw the ball back to the shooter then had the last goal !!
My position was CENTER I was so happy because center is a good exciting position for me because I can run around and get the ball straight to the goal . The game was nearly over and our team were winning !

The bell went ` Brinnnng ! and the ACESS WON !! .

Disaster day

Because our topic is Active earth Pt England is going to Ruapotaka . The reason why we are having disaster day is to show what we do when or if a Tsunami happens or when a volcano erupts.
On this day we will be walking up to our neighbourhood and school as if a Tsunami has happened . As we are walking there will be a movie for us that is about a Volcano erupting and tsunami .

Rugby against the year6 boys

R U G B Y

Last week on Friday we had a match against the year 6 boys at our school. The reason why we had a match was to prepare us to play Viscount. We learnt what to do when we come in for a scrum. As soon as we got all organised it was time to play. My position was half back and wing it is scary because I am the one who gets the ball and then runs or passes. In the second half we had to change position so everyone gets a turn. The first person to get a try was me and Sela . It got boring because people were hogging the ball. The shocking part was when Sela tackled Richard ` now that was WICKED ' Woohoo go Sela' we all cheered for her. The person who tackled the most was Reina, Shaniah and Bobbi-Grace. As Mr Burt gets us together we were told that there was going to be a meeting.

We asked Mrs Nadia if she can watch us play rugby with the year7 boys. It was so cool because we were all sharing the ball and we were playing fair but then it got rough because there were people that were high tackling girls. So then Victoria and I went to play some where else.

" HELEN your turn already I shouted OK the person I verst was Destiny M BOOM as hit the angle of her feet ! but it was sad cause I lost !

Acrostic poem !

Protection for all is the key

The Korero helps us to see

Everybody must succeed to be

No one should disagree to achieve

Guess to depress the west

Leave the school cause its the best

Always leave the classroom clean to beat the rest

Never ever be pest

Doing stuff is what we do

When other think they are cool for you

Aim to behave like others

Yes our SCHOOL is too COOL for you .
