In Maths Whizz I am learning 'Pencil and Paper-Multiplication' maths. 'Pencil and Paper- Multiplication' is when you multiply two numbers with other numbers. I have been doing 'Maths Whizz' for a whole term and two weeks.

How Will.I.Am Came to Pt England
May the 9th was not going to be an ordinary day for Pt England School. One was that a famous person was going to come to our school. Two was that we all had a special assembly on a Thursday. And P.E.S never have assemblies on a Thursday only if it was a special one. Anyway's today was going to different for once.
Everything was set-up in the hall. And when I mean by everything was set-up in the hall was that their were camera's around and also photographers. I was wondering what kind of 'famous' person was going to come to our special and surprising assembly.
Sitting on our chairs was so boring so Mr Burt (our principal) decided that we have a practise at singing our school song before our special guest was coming. This assembly to our principal meant everything and by everything I mean like getting our school song correct and to make sure us year 8's sing.
After singing the song then we watched film festival movies. The first one was the movie from 'Room 18'. It was called 'Room 18 Maths Test'. The stars of this movie was Brooke, Kingston, Raihan, Dillion and Starford. It was an awesome.
It went all silent when we heard Mr Burt say that our surprise was here. All the prefects were surrounding him especially the cameras. When our surprise walked through the door all you would hear is people screaming.
Our famous comer had grey fancy boots, golden squared glasses and a beanie on top of his head.
"Do you have any clue who this could 'famous person' is?"
Well it's the one and only..................... WILL.I.AM. Yes the famous rapper and singer WILL.I.AM.
He came to our school to present all Maniakalani trust school's one hundred thousand dollar. It was very generous of him to do this. This day was awesome.

What My Friends Say About 'ME'
Our last activity for the term was to write a little positive quote on to our classmates back's. For this activity we had 1 piece of paper, 1 strap of sellotape and a pen/pencil.
I just found out that some of my classmates also think that I'm cool. My favourite quote was when my friend Vanessa wrote, "you were the coolest girl ever since I first came to this school. You also welcomed me into this class, THANK YOU." I really appreciate what most of my friends say about me. I think she said that maybe because I was always there for her when she needed me most.
I also found out that people think that I'm funny and brainy at the same time. Also some of my classmates appreciate what I do for them. For example when some of my friends get hurt I help them.
Some quotes I didn't understand but it was okay any-ways. I figured some out and some of them said that I was their best friends. Some of them even said that I was a great friend to them. I was shocked when some one said that I was very very pretty. I didn't think that any of the guys said that because no-one would ever agree that I am pretty.
Anyway some of these comments were very appreciative. Well to my thoughts I think that some of these comments were actually true. One of the comments said that I was 'COOL AS', with many s's.
This activity was the best activity so far this year. I loved this activity because some of my besties from the other classes came and wrote on my paper. I LOVED IT.

Fiafia
Moving and singing to the song, the samoan group and I were practicing in our school breeze, on Monday the 15th of April 2013. We had 'Fiafia' practice today because our performing day is on Thursday. And on Thursday it is going to be the last day of term 1, for Pt England School.
The first thing we did was practice our moves so that when it is our turn to go on stage then we don't mess up. It was important to us that we don't mess up because if we do it will turn into a big disaster. And what I mean by disaster I mean if even 1 person messes up the whole dance then we all mess up.
The following thing we did was practice the song because most of us don't even know the song. When we dance some of us just dance but we don't open up our mouth's and sing. Some of us do sing but we don't dance we just stand their and do nothing. So that's why we practiced singing.
After a while we stood up and danced and this time every one was great. Us girls looked at our hands and sang the song. The boys did their part of the performance and they were also wonderful. Mrs Tele'a, Jenny and Timmy, our dance teachers, said that we were all beautiful dancers.
At the end of the dance and performance we all sat down proud and at the same time exhausted because we had to do it every single time we got it wrong or did a mistake. I was so happy for our group because we have had been practicing for 5 weeks and we have tried our best.

The Dark Rise
Walking home from the movies I see a narrow short-cut/path. This path looked very terrifying. My friends, Jorja, Te-Rina, Caroline, Vanessa, including myself, had just finished watching Paranormal 4. It was a pretty scary movie.
We stepped on the path and we thought to ourself, "this isn't bad after all ". As we walked I felt very funny. It didn't really feel like a normal short-cut. It felt like a cemetery. And do you know what lives in a cemetery......dead people.
"Did you guys hear that," I say to my friends. "What?" They reply. " I think we standing on some-one's body," I say in a terrified voice. "Don't be silly. Were walking on a path not a dead person," Jorja says to me. " I was sure that we were standing on a person.
I could hear a crackle kind of thing when ever we walked. When ever I told my friends what I could hear they never trust me. As we were heading toward the ending of the path a gate shut before we could even take another step. I knew at that very moment that this was what I thought it was.
"What did I tell you... this is a grave," I say to my friends. "We are so sorry for doubting you," Vanessa says in a frightened voice.
Just like that all their pieces of their body came out. First the arms then the legs, and then......the head. It was the scariest thing that had ever to me.
We tried looking for a way out but all gates were closed. I thought to myself, 'why did I have to come late at night '. It was almost sun rise and I still haven't got home. My friends and I were surrounded by old moving bones that rose from the dead in the middle of the night. I was 95% close to sleeping on a grave yard. As I start to close my eyes, I start to the sun coming out of the dark shadows. I opened my eyes like as if my eyes looked like big fishy bulgy eyes, and told Jorja to whisper to every one to keep their eyes opened because the sun was coming up.
At that very moment, when the sun rose, the moving bones slowly collapsed into their normal dead selves.
"Finally we can go home. We should never ever come back through this short cut ever again," I say. " We should always go the long way," My friends say as we start to walk home.

Birthday Presents
"OMG!! AAAAH, it's my birthday," I say to myself in my bedroom.
It is February 4th 2013. I am turning 12 today. Today was the day I get all of my wishes, and hopefully they will come true. I walk downstairs to see if their were any presents waiting for me and I found them lying of the ground shaped like a big pyramid. The top of the present pyramid was a letter from my dad. The second present was from my mom. Inside the present bag was clothing and shoes.
I went through all presents until I came to one present that surprised me. It was an IPAD and an IPHONE 5. I started to play on both presents. I was so fun. It was the first time I have ever touch or had my own phone and IPAD. I opened all my presents before I headed to school.
I felt very joyful to see all of my presents.
