Cellphones


CellphonesCellphones weren't out when our teacher was young back in the days. After about 15 years ago phones were out but you had to carry it around with you. But now you can put it in your pocket. There are heaps types of phones that are now in the world. What people use phones for are texts, music, Youtube, Internet, Bebo, games, alarm, Calling, and recording. There are groups of people who have cellphones like adults, workers and some young people.

Immersion Rotation

This term we have been doing immersion about ‘Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger’. Its our topic for the term. We all have 5 immersion classes that we have to do. We have just 2 more to do and we have done 3 for now.

The first immersion station that we did as a class was imagination with our teacher. What we had to do is that we got in groups and sat around a table and had a piece of paper on our table. Each piece of paper had a question about imagination and what it means.We had to brainstorm our ideas. Then we had to make an imaginary pet. We could do what we liked with our imaginary pet and we had to give him or her a name. My pet was called King Boy.

The other Immersion that we also went to was with Ms Tito. We had to create our own name in what ever writing that we know how to do. What I did to create my name was with bubble worm writing. I did my name like that because I thought that it was a good idea to do it that way. Our class was not allowed to copy what her class did to create their names.


Room 21 went to Mr Barks for our next immersion. What we were learning with him was practicality. What Mr Barks had in his hand was a leaf blower in his hand. He turned it on and blew it at us. It smelt like petrol.
Immersion was cool. I learnt heaps of things. It was a good experience.

David Tua


David Tua was born on the 21st of November. The 38 year old Samoan professional boxer is also known as Tuaman and the Tuamanator. He represented New Zealand in the 1992 Summer Olympics and won bronze. David Tua is well-known for his has a devastating left hook and for his ability to end fights early. In 2003 Tua was named the 48th greatest puncher of all times by Ring Magazine. Tua trained hard to achieve success in boxing. In his early career he trained at least 3 days a week in his Mangere gym. I think we can all learn a lesson from Tua and that is, to be great at something you have to train hard and give it your best!

Zinger Pinger

My pet is the best pet in the world because he can get you what you want when you call him. His name is King Boy. He will get you what you need. Why I like my pet is that he is fun to play with and he has spikes that can keep you safe. He also has laser eyes that can see through things. He can also wear clothes and plays video games. He can also play on an Xbox 360.
