Year 7 Team Building

Last week on Wednesday the Year 8 student went down to Camp and was going to come back until Friday.While all the Year 7's stayed back and did Team Building and fun rotations. The first thing we did on Wednesday was get into our groups and make a Team name because the names were just called Team 1 and stuff, and we also had to come up with a Team Chant.Our name was called Lil Homies and the other team names were called Pt England OGIS and the Crazy Horses.Our first rotations was making Truffles.The teacher that was making Truffles with us was Mrs Ilaoa. The first step was to crush up the Super White Biscuit into a bowl,it doesn't have to be fully crushed, then put chocolate chips in and stir around then put two table spoons of Coco and the stir again.While stirring pour whole cane of Condensed milk while stirring.Then roll it into little balls and roll them in Coconut Powder.Then after we did all of that our teacher but it into the freezer.

Then our teacher gave us a balloon and we had to blow it up and go out into the street.We stayed in our groups when we were cooking and then the first game was caterpillar were you have to put a balloon on you stomach and then push it against the person in front of your but make sure it doesn't pop then race to the chair and back but if it falls then you start over again.My group won 2 times but the boys group won most of it.The second game was called Tick Tok Toe I'm sure you all ready know how to play so there was a girls team and a boys team.I was funny we were all yelling and laughing it was 14 to 15, 14 to the girls and 15 to the boys we had to win the last point so the girls ran and the boys ran but the boys made it before the girls did and the boys won.It was fun playing then we went back into the class we made truffles in and then we put the balloons back and it was time for morning tea.

Malaga Career Speakers

On the 10 of April Team 5 of Pt England school was lucky enough to have three guest speakers speak about how they became what they have become.These three lucky guest are Jason Young he works at Dysart and he also did Iron Man with a teacher that use to work here and her name is Miss Tito she was a Maori teacher.Any way Jason was talking about what you need to do to get where you want to be and always just believe that you can do it.He also has one son and his mum looked after him for his whole life.Then Jason was finished with his speech and then some of us kids were asking him some question like do you regret anything in life and he said no.Then he was finished and a girl named Bethany came up and said a thank-you note because he had to leave to work.    

Then it was time for the next speaker.Her name was Fione Bakulich and guess what she was Ms Tele’a sister I couldn’t believe it.You might know her from a program on Tvnz on demand and the program is called The Caskeeters.So she’s pretty famous she was talking about when she was little her and Ms Tele’a was told to take the bodys and move them to other rooms and she also said that when she saw her parents working lots of hours she wanted to do that so her parents can have time off.She has one son she raised him on her own and she wants him to be the best he can.When her speech was done some kids were asking her some question like was it scary for you and some other things. 

 Now it was time for the last speaker.It was a surprise to me because his name was Tanielu Tele’a and he is Ms Tele’a son and he also plays for the blues she he’s famous like his aunty Fione.He was telling us how he felt when he was asked to play for the Blues.Also how he went to St Kents and then went on to play for the Blues.He told us that his role model he looks up to is Sonny Bill William.He also told us to never be scared to try new things and to listen to your parents because they have done alot for you and you just need to trust what they teach you.Then his speech was done and two of our school leaders Justice and Amelia they said Thank-you for coming and telling us how you got to where you are and they gave them an eve planet and a block of chocolate.We were so happy for them to come over and speak to us. There was something really interesting to me and that was that they all were related to Ms Tele’a because Jason was Ms Tele'a husband best friend and Fione was Ms Tele’a sister and Tanielu was Ms Tele’a son.We were so lucky to have them come in and talk to us I hope one I be like them.
