One treel hill

 `When was One Tree Hill made?

One Tree Hill College also known as Penrose High School opened on the 1st of February 1955. In 2019 it had a student body of 1160 consisting of more than 40 different cultures. The governing body for the college since 1989 has been the One Tree Hill College Board of Trustees.

Why was the Tree On The hill cut down?

This tree was cut down by a pakeha settler in 1852. In an act of vandalism in one account or for firewood in another. It seems likely this was a different tree from the Motorola which, as a sacred tree, had given the hill one of its Maori names.

Why is the One Tree Hill college a landmark?

Maungakiekie is also known as One Tree Hill is an Auckland landmark Part of a legacy by Sir John Logan Campbell one of Auckland's founders it commemorates his respect for Maori. The nearby pine tree was removed in 2001 after it was damaged by Maori activists who believed sacred trees were inappropriate for the site.

Why is one tree hill named one tree hill?

One Tree Hill is a suburb of Auckland New Zealand, When Auckland was founded a tree stood near a summit which gave its name “One Tree Hill” 

Balancing act

A giant rock was chasing down through the hill and the 3 explorers were running as fast as they could. This happened like about a week ago, the 3 friends were  screaming very hard cause they're scared that they might get crushed. This event took place in ancient egypt. This incident happened because Sione and his two friends Vita and Toni were exploring a periment in egypt until Sione stumbled upon a trap and triggered the giant ball of rock.

Sione was the charming guy that cared for others instead of himself and Vita he wasn't perfect but he’ll always try to do the right thing and he always will and now Toni, Toni is a strong buff guy who never gives up when he’s struggling. On the 19th of August before the incident happened Sione, Vita and Toni discovered an explorers club and they were recruited to join by the boss named James and they all agreed to join the club.

Sione, Vita and Toni  took a tour around the secret headquarters of the explorers club. There were also mysterious rooms full of treasure, expensive equipment and also dangerous living things no one has seen.

Writing about technology

Last week Thursday was a very great day because the Kiamanawanui syndicate went out for technology at Tamaki college on a bus. First we were divided into 3 groups and I was chosen to be in Mr Grundy’s class which was hard materials.

When we went to class we had to sit at a table where we would not talk to anyone while he was calling out the roll. The people that were in my class were Isaia, Wesley, Kordell and more. 

The second thing we were doing was listening to Mr Grundy while he tells us the rules in class about what we have to do. Rule number 1 was sit on your chair with 4 legs not 2 because if you sit on it with 2 legs on the chair then you will fall off your seat and hit your head.

The next thing we had to do was get a pencil from the table to write 4 things about a friend of your own on a piece of paper and I was writing about my best friend Wesley. What I wrote about was that he likes pizza, dancing, reading and playing rugby with his best mates.  

Later on we had to put the pencils back where we got it from because we were finished. After that we had to hold a piece of paper that will have our name on it and our last name so that a lady will come in and take a quick photo of us. Next class was finished, then we had to walk back to the bus to get back to school, The end.

Hope you all enjoyed my writing.

  

My reflection

Tongan language week

One the 6th of September we celebrated the Tongan culture at the somerville hall which use to be Tamaki intermediate. First we sang the New Zealand national anthem, Tongan national anthem, the prayer and finally Miss Kelly’s speech. When it was the Tongan groups turn we did a Tongan dance together with boys and girls. Our next dance was just boys only. Parents was coming up on stage dancing and singing. When we were doing our dance I felt really nervous. Later on it we did a ma’ulu’ulu together with the Kia Toa syndicate and I was also given $15 dollars from my mother and I was so happy. When the assembly finished we went back to school to the hall to eat Tongan food. I ate potato salad, corn beef, taro and sweet and sour. When I was eating I went down to sit with my friends on the stage.

Technology Bridge challenge

                Technology Bridge challenge
On November the 13th we had a challenge who will make the strongest bridge the longest bridge or the  largest bridge. First we gathered our materials together. Me and my buddy Opeti was working in a team about how to make bridge.  

The materials that we used to make a bridge is is tape, paper and strings. How we made the bridge is we taped paper together then we tied a knot of string on the chair.

Next we went to test our bridge. We put all of the mini cars and the bridge was strong enough to hold it. Also I felt proud of me and Opeti. Next we put 2 rugby balls on the bridge and it survived.

The most original bridge was Fine, Christine and Lily's bridge and Lydia and Htoo Say Wah. Then we wrecked all of the bridges.  It was a really fun afternoon and I wish we get to do more challenges like that in the future.

Making a kite

    Making a kite

On the 7th of February it was a hot sunny day. Room 8 went down to room 6 and we learned how to make a kite.

We made a kite out of coloring paper, tape, squares  string and decoration paper my buddy was Opeti.

First folded our paper into a diamond next we cutted it out then we taped the squares on the the paper next we tape decoration paper and the very last part is you get a string tight a knot on the kite.

After we finish making our kites we cleaned up room 6.

Then we went outside to have some fun with our kites.  Opeti and I broke our kite cause we didn't really like it  . I felt enjoyable happy and it was so fun.

Making otai

Making otai

Last week we successfully made otai using twelve green apples, one half bag of cool ice, three boxes of anchor milk, brown sugar, a can of crushed of pineapple,one can of mango pulp.

First we grabbed a big container then we put ice inside the container then added the twelve green apples,one can of mango pulp,one can of crushed pineapple,and brown sugar.

Next the boys were peeling the green apples with a peeler then we put it into a black plastic bowl then we washed the the black plastic bowl.

Then mrs Tafea used   a small sharp knife to take out the apple core before Vaiola and Lily.

Finally we mixed the ingredients together with some brown sugar stirred well with a  big spoon.

It was exciting making otai because I never made otai with my class room 8 and we ate it with some sweet keke. It was delicious! I wanted to have more otai but have enough.

The sun

The sun is a  fascinating object in our solar system which was formed 4.5 billion years ago when a cloud of dust and gas collapse in space.

The sun is huge star that is 1 can fit more than 1 million Earths inside.

The fiery nature  on the sun is because of the nuclear reaction on the surface of the sun.

The sun tremendous has gravitational pull that hold up the planets in our solar system to gather.

The planets orbits around the sun.

Without the sun water will freeze plants won't grow and nothing will survive.

Space

Space is everywhere also space is pitch black which means it is darkness. We do not know where space end which means it is infinite . Also there are shooting stars possibly in other galaxies. There could be another solar system suns and aliens out there. In space there is no oxygen that's why astronauts wear oxygen mask in space.  Light travels in space but sound doesn't.
