Manaiakalani Trust

In this post I would just like to thank the Manaiakalani Trust for all the money they have raised, for our netbooks, this would not have been possible without them. Having a Trust as special as them is an honour.

Also thanks for all the support and time you have taken to make it possible for us to have our netbooks, one again Thank you Manaiakalani Trust. Most importantly thank you for believing in us, and trusting us.

Jupiter

This week I have been collecting some information about Jupiter.Here in my presentation, is my research on Jupiter.

A Netbook has its ups and downs, but having a Netbook helps because, you can access your Google Docs from Home with the Internet Connection provided by the school. Also have easy access to your blog from home and anywhere else in GI, when Free Time comes we have also have access to games on our Netbooks.


As much as I have loved having a Netbook there are some things that I haven’t liked, I have had Internet Connection problems twice a week, and problems occur with our Netbook sometimes, like a broken screen, we forget our passwords and we have to upgrade. Also having a Netbook is hard because the Paint application is really harder to draw on then paper and pencil.


I think some of the advantages we have had as young students are using the internet, storing our work on Google Docs with help of the Internet. We can access the net-work from home. Also easier to write ,our hands don't have to get sore anymore.


From time to time I have been in the right place at the right time all this time. The hardest thing is resist temptation, from going on other stuff like games but I can resist. I have learnt many things from being Cyber Smart with my Netbook.


To be honest it really wouldn’t be a problem, because for six years I have been writing with paper and pencil, so I am quite familiar with the process. I would miss my Netbook though, all the advantages I had.

My Writing Sample of 2011

Out of no where someone shouted,”Mino, MINO, wake up”, finally I had awoken, in my car, on the way to school. Is it Tennis today, I thought with an unexpected urge to hit a ball. I ran to the courts and there I could see my class heading towards a row of Tennis nets, at that moment I knew, TENNIS LESSONS were TODAY!

“Go grab a racket and a ball and then wait for me to say you can start bouncing your ball ” , Marcell(tutor) said in an very high monotone voice. Hitting the ball up and down didn’t sound like rocket science, this was going to be easy...a few minutes later, nothing was going the way I thought it would, not even by one inch, the ball was being batted everywhere and then I had to go grab the ball and hit it again, this was set on repeat, “THIS...IS...MADNESS!”. I figured that Tennis was actually all about bouncing and hitting the ball so I thought I might as well begin to get use to bouncing the ball PROPERLY.

As another challenge was coming around the corner, I thought I can’t cope with all these shinanagins. Hitting the ball on the side of the racket was our challenge, later, I thought this IS rocket science. I wanted the lesson to finish already, but as they say time drags when you are not having fun.(and I sure was NOT enjoying myself)

“No its an underarm throw”, my partner Toreka explained. We had to pair up and then practise our serving and batting. Immediately I thought I was doing quite well for an amateur, serving the ball pretty well to Toreka. Just when I had started to make some progress, we were told to stop. I hope we get to play a game next, I thought, and I was right! We were about to play a game called King of the courts, which was practically Tennis.


I was up first, my 20 minutes exercise in endurance was paying off I thought. I have to hit this ball “...’HIT’ the ball went flying...out of the boundary. “ Sometimes its not about winning, its about winning...the next time! I said with a very sinister look in my eyes. In the end though its about participating and having a go, and THAT I certainly did.

The Word COSMOLOGY

This week Mrs Nua(teacher) gave us a task of explaining a word she gave us, so me and my partner Toreka got the word 'COSMOLOGY'.

MI Smarts

Here on is an MI(Multiple Intelligence) As you can see here on the right are my results to the test I took along with room 20.
The highest result I got back was Interpersonal(People Smart) which was quite of a shock for a second, but then I stopped and thought. My results were also shocking because I didn't expect getting quite low results for Visual/ Spatial and Music Smart. As you can see Logical is not a very high smart for me, I don't really like Maths. The only result I predicted that would be low was Logical.
