Last Week Review

Its been weeks since I wanted to leave St. Pius. Now that my last year is coming to an end I don't think I want to leave. My years here in St. Pius have be challenging but also fun. It can be easy and it can be hard. My journey here is finally ending, and I'll be beginning a new journey at a new school. Life is so hard when having to end something and beginning anew, but that's life. 

This year has been a fun year. I have had alot of fun. 

Camp * Piha * 2014

This is a presentation on Camp at Piha

Camp

Reflection on Camp !

During the 3 days and 2 nights at camp, I had the most loveliest time ever. I had fun telling my ghost stories or telling my scary stories. I had fun sleeping on my bed , my bed at camp. I had a lot of fun pranking my friends during the time they were sleeping, but I really had fun when working as a team with others I don’t normally talk to and also making them laugh.

My favorite part was when we played tug of war. My team and I challenged other groups, we would win the first time then we loose the second time, then we’ll loose the first time then win the second time. I really loved the part where a group of us had to challenge the mens, and still won against them.

I also loved the food. The food was very delicious. It was rich with flavours when I tasted them. Some I haven't tasted and some I have. It was really yum though.

It was such a fun experience. It was so fun I still want to go back. These are the memories I will keep till my dying day.

Decorating our Biscuit !

Special Home/Place

Why my home is so special !

My home is special because its where all the love and support began.

My home is so special because it is where all my childhood memories are living and where the good and bad memories are from. A Special place is where you were raised.. A special place is somewhere you have experienced way before you've been experiencing friendship.

My home is so special because it is where I grew up and where all the fun things began and has always been. I have experienced a lot of things, even before I started going to school or making friends. 

My Special place is where I learned to walk, run, drink, eat and play. It is where I learned how to speak, where I learned how to write and where I learned how to read. It is the only place I could never forget. It is the the special place that makes me feel really happy.

Maths Equation using Show Me !

This is a video to show my understanding of how I solved addition and subtraction problems

Diorama

Diorama of a Dairy Farm

The think I like about my art work is when drawing the cows. Especially when my group and I paints the art work.

If I had to make another one I would change the color of the shed, make even bigger cows and make a lot of food so that everyone can see it. I would put more inputs into the farm.
The most difficult part was having to draw the animals, and make the gates. It was really hard straightening it up.

Power to Change

Expressive Writing:- What if I had the power to change something into something I want ?

I would be happy ,But feel weird at the same time. I would feel clueless, because I won’t know weather I have real friends or weather there just using me for the stuff I give them. I would also feel no pain, but would like to see what it feels like. I would want to see if I still have friends even if I don’t have the power to change things

I would feel much better and much happier to not have the power to change things.

This is my best piece of Expressive writing so far !

Friends !

Expressive Writing :- Friends !

What did I do to deserve this ? I just found out that some of the people I thought were my friends “ HATED “ me !.  They 
” BACK-STABBED ME “, when I’m not with them. I felt really hurt I felt agony as I walked along the paths back into our own class room, having to see there faces made it worse especially when it was someone else that told me instead of that person saying it to my face. I felt really hurt. I had no one  to turn to. They all “ HATED “ me, but then all of a sudden out of no where I realized that I’m not the person that's hurting them or hating them or even backstabbing them. As long as I have my “ FAMILY “ its fine with me. My father has always told me that if I’m having trouble with my friends, I am not to worry because everything will all fall into place. One Day it will. I am still waiting for that day to come where the people I thought were my friends will eventually become my friends once again.

If you have the same problem as I do, don’t worry about anything it will all fall into place.

This is my BEST writing so far ...

Expressive Writing !

Expressive Writing !

What if I won a vacation to “ Korea “ for 2 years with my 

family ?

I would feel very excited. Excited but scared. I would probably pack my things and get ready to leave.

By the time I get there I might just visit my cousin that is currently staying in “Seoul“ in Korea. I would spend alot of time with her. Going out and looking at our favorite celebrities, buying celebrity posters and doing many more things together. I would feel Happy and Excited ! I would want to buy alot of things, like buying music CD's and visiting some of there famous landmarks like the 

" Namsan Seoul tower ".

Chilly Milk Experience

CHILLY MILK EXPERIMENT !

PURPOSE:   

TO OBSERVE AND RECORD THE CHANGES WHEN DIFFERENT MILK IS PUT IN THE FREEZER.

WHAT YOU NEED:

 

a selection of 3 different type of milk

clear container

WHAT TO DO:

 

Put  an equal volume of each type of milk in a clear container

Place each container in the freezer

Record what happens to each type of milk as it freezes.  Note its color, texture and shape Record the time it takes to each variety to freeze.

Type of milk	what it looked like once it had been out of the Freezer	Time taken to freeze
UP & GO	Icy, the color went kind of darker.	It took over night.
CONDENSED MILK	It looks the same. ( GOOEY )	Not sure because it is still not frozen
ALMOND MILK	It looked icy, ( WHITE ICE ) did not look like milk at all.	It took over night

UP & GO PREDICTION :

With the Up & Go our prediction is that it'll go kind of flaky/icy

The color will go lighter so will the texture and the shape will be round, depending on the shape of the container or cup.

TIME : 30 - 35 MINS

CONDENSED MILK PREDICTION :

We think that it’ll freeze slowly because of how gooey it is, or it might just be icy cold.

The color will kind of stay the same so as the texture & the shape will just be gooey and round because of the cup it is in. But then it might only be the top that freezes,and the inside it’ll just be icy cold and gooey.

TIME : 30-55 MINS

ALMOND MILK PREDICTION :

We think that the almond milk will freeze, but it’ll kind of take it’s time. W sa that the colour will stay the same or look a bit watery.  The texture would look the same and the shape would be round/circle.

TIME : 30 - 23 MINS

QUESTIONS :

1. What ingredients are in CONDENSED MILK ?!?!

ANSWER

- Moisture : 31.0 PERCENT.

- Sugar ( sucrose ) : 41.0  PERCENT

- Milk Sugar ( lactose ) : 10.5 PERCENT

- Fat : 8.0 PERCENT

- Proteins : 8.0 PERCENT

- Ash : 1.5 PERCENT

2. Why doesn't CONDENSED MILK freeze ?

ANSWER : because theirs no water in it...

( Cause all the water has been taken out of it.)

3. How much water is in UP & GO - ALMOND MILK & CONDENSED MILK

ANSWER - UP & GO :  

ANSWER - CONDENSED MILK : 31.0 PERCENT

ANSWER - ALMOND MILK :

________________________________________________________________________

LEARN : WHY AND HOW THE CHANGES HAPPEN

INVESTIGATION

CONCLUSION OF THIS EXPERIMENT :

During this Experience, I have learnt that Condensed Milk can not freeze because it has no water in it. If their is no water in Milk then it won't freeze, but if their is water then it will freeze, but then it depends on the amount of water it has.

After: When out of the freezer !

                                                                            3 Milks : Almond Milk, Up & Go Milk, and                                                                                           Condensed Milk.

Gospel reading

Gospel Reading

Even SINNERS LOVE those who LOVE them LUKE, CHAPTER 6:27:37

I chose this sentence from the " GOSPEL OF THE LORD " I chose that sentence because I am actually a sinner but I also love those who love me.  If I didn't love those who loved me then that would just be sign of me being really evil, but I love those who love me, so I wouldn't want to love  someone then having them push me away. 

My Holiday

In the holidays , I went to the pools,  Swimarama . I was going with my family, I was really excited. When we arrived, my cousins raced out of the car and into the pools. People were watching us, then I felt a bit embarrassed. Not long after my aunt paid for the younger one, and then we were all swimming!

After we got changed we rushed into the pool that was extremely cold.  It was really cold that it felt as if I was gonna turn into a block of ice. I got out of the pool, race across to the waterpark and started running around like a crazy horse. During the time I had at swimarama was really fun, there were alto of children around the pools and the waterpark.

It was then starting to get warm so I ran as fast as I could and jumped into the pool, which I call the “Ice pool”. It felt really warm inside the pool, so I decided to have a swim. After a while it was getting cold , so I went to the other pools. Falakiko, my brother, was getting really cold, as well as my cousins, Macky and Akesa.  Ofa, my aunty,  said we could only have 1 hour until we’re going home.  After 1 hour we got ready to go home.

By the time we were all ready we went home. I had a really fun time making new friends and swimming with them all day. My highlight of the day was making new friends.
