Graduation

 

Valediction

No joke when I first came to this school I was scared to death. But then I saw my best friend and his name was Avkaran. We've been friends for years now so when I saw him I knew everything was fine. He’s almost been in all of my classes. We help each other in maths homework spelling and best of all, being friends.

\

He believed in me so much that I was one out of four people that went to Mathex. It was so cool because we went to Manurewa intermediate their auditorium was at least twice the size of ours.

I had so many teachers who believed in me like Mrs McHaffie-Green believed in me for hockey. Mrs Armitage for ukulele and last of all Mrs Michaelides with mathematics. Thank you all the teachers for believing me as well. I'm gonna miss this school but I will not forget M.C.S and I will also pop up time to time. 

Astronomy Poem

An asteroid is the size of  a car in earth's atmosphere but it burns up when it reaches us.

Sun’s mass is 99% of our solar system.
There are more stars in space than there are  grains of sand in every single beach.                           Rocketships cost $296,000,000,000  and weigh about 27,500kgs. 

Our sunset is orange but in Mars it appears blue.
N.A.S.A means National Aeronautics and space.
Our galaxy (the milky way)  has less than one 100,000,000,000 stars.

Mr Armstrong's footprints will stay on the moon for 100,000,000 years.

You cannot hear anyone yell in space because there is no air up in space. 

EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN!

I strongly think that all women should be treated fairly by getting the same amount of money as men!

Also, did you know that managers give woman almost only 60% of the money and men get the whole 100% every year. Men get $55.5k and women only around $35k so men get $20,000 more than women. Well I think this is unfair!

What if women didn’t have a husband and they had to           pay for everything and they didn’t have enough money?  But men could probably afford what they need to buy   but women could probably not because they get paid less than men.

Women are the same as men! They are both humans but the only difference is their genders. But that's not something to take for granted. Whoever does this should have to serve two whole days of community service.

 

Women get 79 cents for every dollar a man gets. That doesn’t sound like a lot but if they got that much for a year men would get $365 and women would get $292 per year.  That is a $73 difference.

 Therefore, I strongly think that we should have a law about women getting equal amounts of money. If employers do not give them equal amounts of money they should be put  in jail for 24 hours.

Self Portraits

Diary Writing

On a hot and sunny day, it was so hot it felt like a chicken getting  cooked in a oven.  Me, my family and brother in law's family went to the magnificent  Rainbow‘s End. All of our cars were as slow as a sloth. Even people I don’t know came for my brother inlaw ‘s birthday.

The first ride I went on was the Stratosphere. I went on it a couple of times then it was Bumper Cars. It felt like I was in twelve car crashes. 

After we finished the rides we had some food. It was chicken burgers and some lollies with coca cola. It just tasted like chewy coca cola gummy candy. 

When we finished we went to the Motion Master. It was awesome because it looked real when the skeleton tries to poke you, you try to dodge it like it's real. So that wasn't the scariest, well the scariest was the Fear Fall. It's not called a Fear Fall for nothing.

When we finished that exciting time we went home and I saw something truly amazing. It was a cake that looked exactly the same as the Chiefs shirt. There were some beautiful cupcakes with a really magnificent Chiefs logo and the taste was ok because it was only red velvet.

Suli had a beautiful speech. I almost had water dripping out my eyes so I am really happy that he has his 21st key. I hope he is a professional touch / rugby player someday.

Self Portraits

We are preparing our self portraits for printing. We will chose a primary colour and the opposite colour on the colour wheel for our face and our hair.

Who Am I?

Who am I you ask? Well I’m a Year 6 Assyrian boy who is ten years old. I speak mostly English but at home I speak in Assyrian/Iraq. I have three sisters, a mum and a dad.

I have hair that looks black but when it shines in the sun it’s a browny colour. My eyes change colour like magic. I have a chubby body and my skin is tanned. I have kind of smooth and rough skin.

I love maths because it’s my favourite subject and I’ve learnt it since I was a little me. Plus I really enjoy gaming because it’s my passion.

I’m a nerdy boy. If you give me a pile of maths I would finish it right in front of you. I’m a funny person. When someone is down or just needs a joke I will try and make them laugh. I try to be loyal to my family. If someone does something to my family I will always try to protect them.



I am a year 6 Kiribati girl and I’m 9 years old. I have 3 siblings and a mum and dad. I speak two languages, English and Kiribati. My birthday is on the 20th of February 2007 and I was born in Botany Downs hospital.

My hair is short and straight with a dark brownie colour. When my hair is in the sun it sparkles like gold. My eyes are dark chocolate brown with a narrow almond shape. I have small gentle lips that are pink and dark brown. My teeth have a gap between them and they are serrated at the bottom. I am a tall person and I have smooth, brown skin. My nose is not pointy it's more of a flat nose.

I am not very good at dancing but I love it. I also really enjoy watching comedy movies with my family. I am good at braiding my hair when I want it to be curly.

When I’m inside I am lazy because I don't feel like cleaning or doing anything. But when I’m outside, I’m as crazy and energetic as can be. For example when I’m crazy and energetic I dance around and say hi to random people. Sometimes I am friendly to people who are sad or lonely and need a friend.

Whenever I have to go to a formal party or celebration with my family I always wear a nice top and tights but I never wear dresses. I am the kind of person who doesn’t like being teased. When I get teased I get really mad. I am the type of person who can be nice but I still stand up for myself, my friends and my family.

I am a 8 year old boy and I live in New Zealand.

I have light, blue eyes and my hair is a dark gold. Some of my hair is short like my dog’s fur and on the top of my head my hair is like my little cousin’s barbie doll’s hair. My body is big and tan because I spend a lot of time in the sun. My legs are long and my mum tells me that I’m a fast runner .

I have a good throwing arm.I’m good at video games because I completed Raymon’s legends. It has 83 levels and it was fun.

I’m annoying because I have a lot of energy.

I am a 10 years old happy, Year 6 girl. I am Indian and I speak Hindi. I am born on the 9th November 2006, in the Middlemore Hospital.  My fantastic family and me came from Fiji.

I have short, straight, black hair like a big black, soft cushion. My eyes are brown like a fake teddy bear’s

Shiny eyes. My skin is dark brown like a chocolate and shiny like the sun. My body is soft like a towel, I am a very diminutive person. My lips are red are like a rose and flexible.

I am very good at running, like a cute mouse. I am interested in playing lots of fun games and I love to go exciting trips with my friends at school.

I like to do delicious cooking with my beautiful mum and my friendly sister. I also love helping my intelligent grandma and my awesome mum, by decorating the house on Diwali.

Can you guess who this wonderful girl is?
