Adia

Aida
This week on Tuesday our school Mokoia went to the Production musical by the boys and girls high called Aida.

Most of the music was written by Elton John. The thing that was the most boring about it was that it went on forever 4 hours it felt like! 

Its about a love triangle with a princess Aida is from Nubia and and she got snatched away from her village by the a Capitan sailor  Rademes and she and a few more girls were taken from there village for slavery, but they both fell in love. His father had arranged a marriage with the princess of Egypt Amneris.

Overall it was an amazing show with amazing singers and props I really enjoyed it!
In class we rated it overall a 4/5

30 day book challenge

P3 is doing a 30 day book challenge. First of all we had to go into the middle of the room where all of these books were and they only had descriptions about the book so one would have fun,adventure,kids and other things that are related to the book.

I swapped a few books because I didn't like my first choice and now I have got the book Under the never sky which is good because in class right now I'm doing my novel study on it! 
I really like the book so far I'm almost finished the first chapter and it is really good! I like the system of how we do this, because you don't know what it is and you can't judge the book by the cover!
I think we should carry this on in our class.

Argumentative writing

Task : Many studies have concluded that the average American watches approximately 6 hours of television a day. Some people may not even realize how much TV they are accurately watching. Is 6 hours to much? 

Many of Americas population has been brought up by the TV and when they watch they don't realise how much they are going to get bigger and           more obese over the years! The average weight of the American woman is 160 pounds (72.5 kg) and the average man weighs 196 pounds (88.9 kg) and

most of that weight comes from watching TV. This is a quarter of how much New Zealanders weigh and this information was taken in 2013. The most that Americans will pay $2,000 a year for just TV! This is crazy and it is about $450 for sky and The including the installation satellite costs $635.

America is one of the worst places for obesity it is ranked as number 1 in the world and most of this is contributed by the unhealthy fast food restaurants, lack of exercise and the amount of TV they watch. This leads to diabetes and heart attacks.


This is an article about the worlds most obese man.
 The 'world's fattest man' has died at the age of 48 in Mexico after being bedridden for more than a decade.

Authorities in the state of Nuevo Leon confirmed Manuel Uribe, who was certified by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's heaviest man in 2006, died in hospital on Monday.

Uribe, who spent a decade in bed unable to move or walk, eventually slimmed down from his then-record peak weight of 1,230 pounds (560 kilograms) to about 867 pounds (394 kilograms).

The cause of his death is yet to be confirmed. But sources close to the matter told the Associated Press he was admitted to hospital suffering from "abnormal heartbeat" on 2 May. In addition to his cardiovascular condition, Uribe also believed to suffered from liver problems.

Most of his days were spent watching TV and eating.

I think that all the people in America are watching way to much TV they should be outside and exercising and living life not in front of a TV all there life!

Devon Exchange

Last week some Mokoia students drove down to New Plymouth and played against them for the right of the trophy! The sports that we played was soccer, netball, basketball, rugby and hockey. We had the long trip down and on the way we stopped at the big apple restaurant and then we stopped at this little park 2 hours out of New Plymouth the bus ride was quite boring but most people slept so it was quiet. After 5 hours of driving we had made it to meet our billets I was billeting with Estelle and we meet up with our billet Savithi she and her family was really nice! We settled down and we went to the museum. It was really neat there was an paper plane exhibition and you made paper planes and it was really fun.

Day 2: The games started and it was all on the first game was the year 7 and 8 netball team and we won that 18-21,The our game the year 8 team sadly we lost by three points 20-23, then the girls soccer lost again and the score was 2-4,then for the hockey we won with an amazing score 0-7, then rugby we lost 14-64 and then it was all down to the soccer boys and we lost 2-3 but we had plenty of fun.

Day 3: Sadly we had to leave our billets and say goodbye to New Plymouth and take the long bus ride back over all it was fun and we had new experience I wish it wasn't over!

I really enjoyed my holiday!

Book Club

Tomorrow when the war began

      Tomorrow when the war began is about some teenagers going camping in an Australian bush but one night when they are sleeping they hear planes flying over to their town, and they wake up to hearing bombs being dropped! They race over to see where it had been dropped and it was right on there little town! I chose this book because it sounded interesting and I love these types of books like The shadow children series and because it has action in it! I think in the end they will defeat all of the people invading there town and live! 

Prediction for Among the hidden

  Prediction- I think that Luke will run away and get found by the government and get taken to the government HQ and get put in a jail cell and then he will find Jen alive and then they will escape and find other shadow children and run away and hide in a abandoned building!  

This beautiful beach is not just a fairytale it is Whitianga beach and this is where I love to go holidaying!It has amazing views and scenery so every turn there is something to look at. I love to holiday there because it has beautiful crystal clear water that is the warmest in summer, the sand is the goldest sand you will ever see, the sun rises and sunsets are the most colourful  shows that you would ever see and it is just the most amazing place to be!   

Kid President

I think that kid president is really inspirational to me because he is only 10 and he has already achieved so much already. He has met the real

president,Beyonce,Steve Carroll and so many more famous people! He is not only an interspersion to me but to the rest of he world!

End of Genius Hour

I worked with Alexa,Estelle and Tanner and we remade The Hunger Games! We made dresses and made the game but we haven't played the game yet but it will be heaps of fun! 

The best part of genius hour was being to do it with all my friends and designing my dress and being able to finish it and it look like my original design!

Process
My first step that I had done was Design my the dress, then we made/sorted out when and where we were going to present and hide the ribbons and the weapons, we then made and finished the dresses and then we fitted them to our models and then we had finished!

Our end result had turned out really good! We haven't presented our project yet but I think it will go really well!

I think it was successful because we cooperated really well together and didn't argue much!

Next time I wouldn't do anything different because it was already good!

Next I would have the same group but do Divergent!

Rating=
8/10

Wonder novel study

We have been reading the book Wonder and it has been sad,awesome and funny. My prediction of the end of the book everyone will treat August like a normal person and not look at him like he is an alien from space! I would recommend this book to the people who are willing to shed a tear and have a good laugh!!

My Camp Poem

Sun sparkling on the sizzling sand.

POP! As my ears come to the surface of the water.

“ONE”! As Whaea Leana yells across the camp site.

Tingling hot Milo going into my mouth.

Lanterns lighting up the night sky like stars in the Milky Way. 

Investigating the noises coming from the dry grass.

Guide ropes getting torn out of the sandy hard surface.

Hot days go flying past.

Tents getting messier by the minute.

This is my collage of me and a few of my friends at Thornton beach for our camp. I had an amazing time there and I wish that we were going back there!

Yesterday P3 did some strange maths which included making the tallest structure with dried spaghetti and marshmallows ours was 42cm!

Our next challenge we had to do was make the toilet we had got given to take up the largest area which was really fun!    

In class we are looking at the novel " Wonder". It is about this boy August and he has a deformed who is going to school for the first time ever!Today we had created a tagxeo picture that has all the key words in the chapter that just read. So far I am enjoying the book and it has a meaning to it, don't judge a book by the cover!
