Use my brain Use my heart Im going to be cybersmart

In assembly Mr Burt was talking about our new korero called use my brain use my heart i'm gonna be cybersmart. Mr Burt made that korero because people were doing the wrong thing on their netbooks and being too much playing music.

Use my brain means when you use your brain if you're being dodgy on your netbook. You listen what your head says and you have to go on the right thing and you be cybersmart.

Use my heart is when your feelings feel sad or worry or feel guilty that you should not be on something that you are not aloud to go on. Because if you are not on the right thing you will be on the detention at lunch time.Thats just sad because you don't get to have fun outside with your friends and enjoy your whole day to like school.

Cybersmart means you are being cybersmart that you are doing the right thing on your netbook and finishing your work off. Its good to be cybersmart because some teachers call you it because you're a good boy or girl be kind to kids and be a good friend two others. Cybersmart will help you with your learning and your whole kindness at school to be cybersmart.

So when your at school use your brain use your heart your going to be cybersmart of your learning.

On the Island

I have been reading about people going to get muttonbirds. I found out that they go to a big south cape island to find the mutton birds. Not everyone can go muttonbirding only Rakiura Maori and their descendants can go and collecting muttonbirds. They go muttonbirding for only 2 months each year. This is because that is when the season is ending.

I have been reading a book about hunting for mutton birds.

Annyong Means Hi

In South Korean Schools there are 3000 students and 40 children in each class but in New Zealand there are only about 600 students at the schools and 30 children in each class. South Korea’s school buildings are 4 storeys high and the students have to use a lift if their class is on the 4th floor. New Zealand schools only have single storey buildings and all the children walk to their classes. Most schools in New Zealand have lots of grassy areas for the children to play in and they can play in barefeet. In the South Korean Schools they only have sand and concrete and have to leave their shoes on.

What is Table Tennis?

Table Tennis is a commonwealth sport. You have to hit and serve a small ball to the other side.

What are the rules of Table Tennis

The players serve two serves in a row then they switch. If the score is 10-10 then they only serve once. After each game they switch sides of the table. They play 5 sets and the winner is the person who wins the most sets.

The Singapore team and Japanese team are good at table tennis. The serve and hit really well. Their backhand is amazing to watch.

World War 1

This morning we had a special assembly to remember the people that were in the World War 1. We were looking at some World War 1 photos of some army and the countries that were fighting in the war. Mr Burt and Mrs Flavell’s grandads were in the war, and we saw a photo of them with their army clothes on. Mr Burt told us to look at the big screen and we would see the NZ flag rising up the flagpole. When it got to the top it was going to be lowered to half way to show respect to the soldiers who died. There was bugle playing The Last Post. When assembly finished Mr Burt asked us to go back to our classes quietly.

I have been searching about World War 1  and I found these facts out.
