Email to Mr. Williamson

Dear Mr. Williamson

Thank you Mr. Williamson for inspiring Room 11 & 12 with the words you said to make us not let people bring us down. You shared interesting stories about your work life and the way you work. Also the interesting facts you shared with Room 11 &  12 really amazed me like how big the salary band is, wow, that was really interesting.

Thank you so much for your fun speech today and I hope that I won’t let anyone bring me down in my future and I will get a really great job.

My Rap - Volleyball

My Rap : Volleyball / V1/ Chorus/ V2/ Chorus/

For Sports Camp we do Volleyball,Volley is common of them all,Serving, spiking and digging too,That’s why I think it’s really cool.

I spike the ball,but that’s not all,we communicate as a team,and we fight like rocket beam.

I dig to a friend,to hit we must bend, to serve you must throw.Jump and let it go,to spike it hangs on the tip of the net,I’ll whack it, lets make a betVOLLEYBALL.. VE VE VE VOLLEYBALL X2

I spike the ball,but that’s not all,we communicate as a team,and we fight like rocket beam.

The Tree Fire



We had been having a lot of fun lighting fireworks, but finally after what seemed like hours we ran out of fireworks and decided to go to bed. As I brushed my teeth I looked out the window and saw……….

There was a huge tree on fire, the fire was so bright it looked like the whole entire neighbourhood was on fire. The flames coming out of the tree were growing even faster, faster than I could say FIRE. The fire became bigger, so big it began to burn the neighbours gutter. The police arrived not long after the fire-fighters, there were red and blue lights flashing everywhere. They were very bright, brighter than the moon that glowed at night...

Not long after that, the tree fire slowly eased down while the fire-fighters were spraying it with freezing cold water. All of  a sudden it was quiet and dark. All the policemen and fire-fighters were gone, there were no lights, no water, no big vehicles and no tree fire...

Everyone went home and peacefully went to bed. It was just over midnight and everyone was fast asleep in their comfy beds. Morning arrived and there was burnt wood everywhere. The whole neighbourhood helped and cleaned up so that we all could have a nice and clean neighbourhood. It was time to go to school and the bus arrived and dropped us off to school...

‘Ring ring ring’ the bell went and it was time to go to class. It was a regular day and finally the day came to an end. Everyone was tired and they all went home to bed....

My Inspirational Person: Douglas Glass

My inspirational  person is Douglas Glass. He is a New Zealand photographer. I choose this person because when I grow up I would love to be a photographer.

Douglas Glass was an experienced  photographer. He was born in NZ in 1901 and died in Kent, England, in 1978, so he died when he was 77. He was born in New Zealand but he fancied himself as a European with a strong Colonial background

Douglas was a Chief Official Photographer to U.N.R.R.A, (United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration) in Germany, apart from that he also had many other jobs which he struggled with those are;  a sheep-shearer, a drover, a salesman in various drapery stores, a journalist on an important Dutch paper and a lecturer in Europe for two years. Douglas Glass made his name as photographer of the 'Portrait Gallery' that ran every week in the Sunday Times  from 1949 to 1961.  

He was a student at the Central School of Arts and pursued the career of an unsuccessful artist for several years, leaving without diplomas, degrees, badges or medals, but with a wife who can cook.

ICT Collage

At Tamaki Collage, Glen Innes year 7 and 8's go there for Technology. Mrs. Anderson is the teacher for all the years 7's. Our topic is Passions. For a few weeks Mrs. Anderson taught us for to use Photo Shop. After we learned how to use Photo Shop we made a slide show about our 8 passions. When that was finished we had to sketch out the 8 passions. My passions are Multiculture, Food, Swimming, Animals, Sport, Music, Writing lyrics for a song and The Pools. The photos I had to sketch were Sushi for Food, My name in Chinese for Multiculture, A Music symbol for Music, a panda for Animals, A basket ball for Sport, a swimming pool for The Pools and a piece of paper with Lyrics on it for Writing lyrics for a song. When I was done I had put it all on a Collage, as you can see up top. I hope you like my collage. I would appreciate it if you commented on it on my blog!. Thanks.
