2019 Reflection

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post today I will be writing a reflection on my biggest achievement.

I have done many things this year but I am going to start from the beginning, for term 1 I was going to another school I was at St. Bernadette's which is a primary school, I was going through some things at that school and me and my mother decided to wait until the end of term 1 and then go to Hornby High for term 2. So it was term 2 and I had started at Hornby High School I was very nervous but I got over it and that was my biggest achievement of 2019.

Christmas'

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post I will be showing you the slideshow I made for the task...

Here it is.

Make our own activity ~ Playing To Win

Hello fellow readers and for today's task I will be making my own activity, it will be based off of the Novel study I have been reading Playing To Win.

The activity that I have decided to do is find 4 words in the book that you do not completely understand and find the meaning then use the word in a sentence. It must be in full sentences.

Heaving means extremely crowded ~ I walked around the heaving mess.

Pity means feeling sorry for someone ~ I pitied my uncle for the things he had done.

Pre- match means in or relating to the period before a sports match ~ I had a Pre - match the day before the actual game.

Flourish means develop rapidly ~ I flourished the techniques in sports.

I hope you liked the activity that I made :)

Te Reo Maori

Kia Ora fellow readers and welcome to another blog post for today's blog post we will be talking about a Maori story that our Maori teacher told us about.

The name of this story is Poutini : A Guardian Taniwha. This story is about a man named Poutini who falls in love with a female named Waitaiki, Poutini falls in love with Waitaiki, but Waitaiki is in love with some one else so Poutini turns her into pounamu green stone.
Waitaiki's lover than cry's over losing her. 

When Mr Matthews was passing around paunamu I learnt that there where many different types of green stone I also learnt that they had different meanings.
One more thing that I learnt is some green stone is stronger than other types of green stone

I hope you enjoyed my blog post :)

Summer Learning Journey

Kia Ora Emma. My name is Shelby and I am a Year 7 at Hornby High School, and I will be participating in the Summer Learning Journey blogging challenge/ competition.
One of my favourite things to do at school is Art and Maths. I was really intrigued when you said there was going to be a arts & entertainment category and I hope to do it. When I am near the end of this Journey I hope to have completed all the tasks to my highest standard.

I really enjoyed doing this last year even though I wasn't able to do all of the tasks I still enjoyed it and I hope to enjoy it again this year.

Book Review ~ Playing To Win

Aloha fellow readers and welcome to another blog post for this blog post I will be reviewing the book Playing To Win by Fleur Beale.

Overall this book is really interesting and it really hooks you in I have only had this novel book for three weeks and I have already finished the story I couldn't stop because at the end of each chapter in always left a hook. I recommend this story for 12+ because there is some inappropriate language for any younger child. I give this story a 10/10 as I really enjoyed reading it and I am actually contemplating buying the book for myself.

If you enjoy reading mystery, drama, romance books than this book will be perfect for you because it has all of that. the mystery is why Alice hates rugby, the drama is between Todd Denny and Alice and the Romance is between Denny and Alice and kind of between Todd and Alice.  The strength of the book is when Denny get's friends. The weakness is when Denny feels that he doesn't fit into the friend group.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post.
