Feelings

FEELINGS

There are a variety of ways that people express their feelings. Anger is a bad feeling that most people get when they fight. It can be shown in ways of bad words, unpleasant facials and sometimes defective actions.You can tell if someone is angry when they crunch their nose, red faces and when they make fists. Sometimes when your angry as and you get rage you can’t control yourself and that leads to bad consequences.

 Happiness is another feeling. When people get happy they show kindness. You can tell people are happy when they smile, hug and laugh. They get happy when they win or complete something. When you're happy the body language shows handshakes, jumping up and down or even when you're too happy you could cry.

 When you're sad you feel down and wanna be left alone. Your eyes get watery and your face turns red. This is because when someone hits you it hurts you and you start to cry. This feeling is caused by bullying, being disrespected and being left out. Sometimes when you're sad and stressed from a negative comment you might commit suicide.

 Being scared means when you run away from something or someone or hide. Your body language shows shaking, shivering and even breathing really fast. usually you get scared from a scary sound or a movie. Sometimes when you get scared and surprised by someone you get a heart attack.

 Many people around the world have their own traditional ways of expressing their feelings.

The Feast Day

Saint Patrick’s Day.

Every year we celebrate the feast day of st Patrick.

On Monday 17  I woke up happy  because today was SAINT PATRICK’S DAY!

I rushed all my chores and rushed in the car knowing I was going to get in trouble because I forgot to clean my room. But that didn't worry me the only thing that worried me was coming late and missing out in most of the fun. when I got to school I ran to my class and they were just about to go to church.

The mass was really good. After mass we had morning went to room 4 and 5. Their our principal called out the group which are donegals, leprechauns,emeralds and limericks.

I was in Donegals. We had to go to each class and do their activities and get points from the teachers.  The first class we went to was room 1. We did bowling. It was game played by boys and girls. I thought we were gonna win NICK-MINUTE... 5 to 36. We lost to the girls. I was shocked but Isaac was just saying he was saying he was going easy.  

After room 1 we went to room 4 to play a game of fishing. We had to pick an Irish word and fish for the letters. It was a boys vs girls match. We lost AGAIN. Next we went to room 2 then room 5 and our last class was room 6. After all the activities we went in front of rooms 4 and 5 and there we were given ice blocks. When we finished eating our ice blocks Mrs Bullot called out the winner which was our group. What I liked about today was Mrs Twomey’s activity. My dislikes of the day was that we kept losing. It was an awesome day. The winning didn't matter only that we all had a great time on Saint Patrick’s day.

The New Me.

Talofa I am back and in Room 8 at Saint Patrick's school. I am a year 7 student ready to learn more. I am back and I am more confident to work with my new teacher and classmates.This year I have more favourite things I like to do. One of them is my learning. My learning comes first before any of my other favourite things.

Euphraise Babier

Euphrasie Barbier, the foundress of the Mission Sisters was born January 4 1829.

She lived her life as a humble women and she dedicated her life to God. Euphrasie was one of those who desired to be a foreign missionary. In 1848 Euphrasie entered a new missionary called the Sisters of Cavalry which had been founded at Cuves three years earlier.

Euphrasie believed that joining the 'Sisters of Cavalry', would  fulfill her hopes of being a foreign missionary. She decided in 1861 to start a new order naming them the Mission Sisters.

Euphrasie Barbier's faith was really strong.

Traditional Music Instruments.

In Room 5 we are learning to discover Maori Musical instruments. I know I have learnt this when I know the Maori instruments and what they are used for. 

1. Why is the sound of the putorino said to be inspired by the case moth? Do you think this is a true story? Why do you think that? Because it is the shape of the cocoon shell and has the carvings of it.

2. Describe the sounds the putorino can make and how they are produced. What do the different sounds represent? Use the 'Comparisons' response template to compare the sounds of the putorino with another wind instrument, such as the flute or trumpet. The first sound is the male sound. First you blow the top of the putorino and put your hand in the middle. The other sound which is the female sound has to be blown in the top but in the side of your mouth and still cover the middle. The third sound is in the middle. First blow the middle and cover the top

3. Shane says many putorino have lain dormant in museums for many years, until recently. What does he mean by this? Why are there no records of how putorino were made and used? There was not a lot of materials to make these instruments and the ones in the museum are the only ones. Because long time ago the maori's didn't know how write and they never had technology. so when they make another instrument they can follow the carvings in it.

4. There has been a renewed interest in making and playing traditional Māori instruments. Why do you think people have taken a greater interest in recent years? Where can they learn more? Because when the europeans came they made the maori people play the instruments that they brang. And so the people now want to bring back their culture.

5. Most cultures have used musical instruments for centuries. Find out more about taonga puoro, or the traditional instruments of a different culture. The Mimiha was used by the Tongans for more than a century. The Mimiha is to be made up of a single raft of bamboo pieces bound together by two or three rows of sennit. The upper ends of the bamboo form a straight line and are bevelled on front and back,one side lower than the other This shorter bevel is likely to have been rested against the lips. The lower ends of the bamboos are sealed by a natural node in the wood and form an irregular line on account of the differing lengths. Alteration to tube length is the simplest method of effecting pitch changes.

My Map

 In room 5 we are learning to find locations that match to my blog posts. I know I have learnt this when Blog post that is about New Zealand is about New Zealand. My map shows the places where my blog posts match to.

My Awsome Chromebook.

In Room 5 we are talking about something we have discovered and learnt by yourself this year? This is how Chromebooks helped me this year my leaning.

How has having a net books, connected to the internet, helped my learning this year?

It has made my learning faster  because I don’t have to take a long time looking for meanings in  the dictionary when I just have to type a word in the dictionary that I have in my Netbook. It is really good working in netbooks because anywhere you go you can still work and show other people your learning outside of school and they can learn from you. Also when teacher comments in my work the comments go in the side and not in your work.
