Hurumanu Music

The best birthday that I've celebrated is when I turn 12 years old, It was the best day ever for me, When I celebrated my 12 year old birthday, I wasn't expecting that my wish is gonna happen that time. I was really happy when I see my dad my dad was carrying a puppy my tears just got dried because of my happiness.

In my whole living years the friend I only have is my dog, I treated him as my friend,  All people in my school hated me and nobody wants to be friends with me, until when I get older and older I realised that i don't need a friends anymore because I already have one, my dog is always being their for me which is makes me really happy. 

When I played football in my high school nobody wants to be friends with me, nobody wants to talk to me, everyone were laughing at my braces, when i got home i just cried a lot, my dog was looking at me and he came to me like he was wondering what's happening, when i was trying to covered my eyes my dog tried to not covered my eyes and that makes me really happy I smiled at him and covered my braces and then he tried to not to do that to my self,

He was like showing me that I am not ugly and his like showing me that I shouldn't get embarrassed if someone laugh at my braces, After that it makes all thing clear to me. My dog was a really really good friend, he always stand up for me like a real human. One day When I just got back to my school I saw my dog laying in the ground and I was really shock and panic.

I called my dad in his room to bring the dog to a dog hospital, then we tried to ask the doctor what happened to him the doctor said he's really weak now he has only several minutes to live when I heard that I cried a lot, I was like I don't have a friend anymore, it broke my heart. I couldn't eat that much because i kept on thinking about my dog.

After 11 years, I already had a happy family now, I was really happy that something came to me that would make me feel a lot better.

Hurumanu P.E

This week we did bench it was really fun, I'II explain how we did it so As teams score goals, the scoring player joins the goalie on the bench. Players pass the ball between themselves until someone decides to shoot, but must stay on their half of the court. The goal of the game is to get all the players of your team on your bench, so that they have more people to throw the ball to. 

Hurumanu Drama

This term we did a lot of things in drama like movements, performance and speaking. It was really fun because were just like playing games. Today we did a performance and it was successful, we did really great. So we did movements and Freeze frame. we did it in the front of whole Tz class and my class.  Here's the video of our performance I hope you like it.

Reading

Few days ago we've been doing lexia reading, so lexia is a reading it's like it helps you to improve your reading and your spelling. There some spelling task too it was really fun because I like doing spelling task. My favourite thing to do in lexia is the spelling task I enjoy doing them because I am good at it.

The thing that I don't like in lexia is, there's so many things that you have to read it's like waste of time.
So those are my experience so far about lexia. It was pretty fun.

Science Learning Story/Goals

              Science Learning Story

In our science we’ve been doing a lot of work. The good thing that I’ve been doing in science so far is completing the task in the time I’m given. It was a really, really good thing for me to finish all of the work that we needed to finish.

My favourite work that we did in science is the rainbow paper. In that experiment we need filter paper, felt pen, and a cup.  We drew two lines, one was 2 mm and the other one is 3 mm. It was a successful work, the experiment worked and it was pretty cool.

Our group worked really well we were focusing on our work in the whole time.

Just go through this link https://shsgeralds.blogspot.com so you can see what I’ve done so far in science.

                                                      Goals

The first goal that I have achieved is I complete my work in the time I’m given.

I achieved those goals by working really hard like staying on task and not talking to someone. I was really happy that I achieved it.  

The next time a goal I want to achieve is that I act responsibility even when no one is watching. Those things are really important to me to achieve because sometimes I was mucking around when no one is watching.
