I am a Year 8 student student at Pt. England School in Auckland, NZ. I am in Room 3 and my teacher is Mrs. Tele'a.
WALT: Understand different units of measure and the context in which they are used.
Task Description: This Week for Maths we are learning to convert units of measurement, and also calculate the Areas and Perimeters of the equilateral triangles, parallelograms and rectangles. In two of the slides we are measuring Jugs and how much they weigh.
Last week on Friday the 25th of June we had Vas Kovalski visit Pt England School. He is a professional Magician, he performed a Magic Show to us. At the start of the show he introduced himself and he also explained to us what he was going to do. He performed lots of Magic Tricks, that's including helping us balance our diet.
He had a massive plate on the stage which had Vegetables, Fruits, Grains, Protein, and Dairy. He pulled food out of a box and placed the food where it belonged on the plate. ( For example he pulled out a corn and it got put in the Vegetable category ).
He had many different foods pulled out of his box and placed it on the big plate. Vas Kovalski asked the audience where the food goes, most of us got some of the answers wrong but he corrected us.
He asked someone to join him and do one of the magic tricks, Lee volunteered and he got picked. Vas Kovalski had a cup in his hand, and he told Lee to bend his right arm, and his left arm going up and down, as Lee was bending his right arm water came out of his left elbow and into the cup.
As Lee finished Vas Kovalski did another magic trick which involved a Rubix Cube and a box, Vas Kovalski put in the Rubix Cube in the box and he was moving the box side to side, and he opened one side of the box there were no Rubix Cube we were all confused on where the Rubix Cube went. But as he was doing the magic trick he pulled it out of another box and we got confused.
Vas Kovalski then asked another person from the audience to come up and do one of the magic tricks, Emeline from Team 4 got chosen. Vas Kovalski gave her an apron and a chef hat, he also gave her the Magic cloth, the magic cloth could change colours but Emeline cloth was only changing to Blue and Red while Vas Kovalski cloth was changing to different colours like Grey and Teal, and Purple.
This Magic Trick was very funny, Emeline on the other hand was confused and what was happening and her facial expressions made everything funny. Vas Kovalski gave her a magic stick and it broke, Vas Kovalski kept giving her different magic sticks and it kept breaking which was very funny.
Task Description: Today for Writing we wrote about the Magic Show which happened last week on Friday.

Task Description: Last Week was Samoan Language Week, I am talking about the Samoan election 2021, it has been tough in Samoa due to everything that has been happening. Tuilaepa is now one of the oldest prime ministers in Samoa, Fiame is now the new prime minister, as you may know Fiame has been the prime minister for 14 days, as you also may know about Tuilaepa is that he has been the prime ministers in Samoa for 22 years and 196 days, Samoa is also an independent country. On June 1st 2021 was the 59th anniversary of independence day for Samoa.
As you may see is that Tuilaepa isn't very happy about the fact that Fiame Naomi Mata'afa is the new Prime Minister.
