Taking My Netbook Home

Last we got to take our netbooks home. I was happy because  it will have to be one of the best experiences in the whole of my learning history.I can make more blog posts than ever and finish off more work I haven't finished at school. It has been a great time taking my netbook home but I always have to take special care. My netbook has helped me alot in my learning. Thanks to my teacher Mrs Aireen for encouraging me and my classmates in our learning. It has moved me up in my levels.Now I have to try and reach the next level and set new goals for myself. I LOVE MY NETBOOK!!!

1. Summarise the poem you have read in your own words.

• The poem I read this week is about beauty.It dosent matter what  is outside of your body, it maters what is inside. This means people that have great personality even if their pretty or not. e.g People go for the look’s of other people but I think people should go for what's inside them get to know them then you will really know what he/she is like.

3. Evaluate (which means reflect and give your opinion) the author’s purpose for writing this poem - in your answers include the words: inform, entertain, persuade.

• By analysing the poem I have read this week I think the author wrote this poem because she thinks people should not always feel beautiful on the outside they should always feel beautiful in the inside as well.
• The author was informing the audience about beauty, it doesn't matter about the beauty outside of you it matters about the beauty within you.
• The author was entertaining the audience by Describing how a person can be beautiful. (emotions/language features)
• The author is trying to persuade the audience to believe that they are beautiful no matter what anyone says.

WILL I AM

Faith,Taylor,Jayden, Mavis got the chance to experience another way of  learning with the Manaiakalani. A fantastic piece of news which came to us as "Someone donated some money to the Manaikalani education trust" Well we found out that someone was MrWill.I.Am

I hope you enjoy reading my awesome experience below 

Please leave a comment!!!

Thursday 6 May 2013, was well... the best day of our life!!! I’m not being dramatic or anything but a group of students got the chance to see that Mr.William James Adams,otherwise known as Will.I.Am . He has donated $100,000 to the Manaiakalani Education Trust. We were told at first that it was an anonymous donater but when we arrived we got the news that it was Will.I.Am himself who had donated the money.It was something worth experiencing.

When the cheque was presented we were thankful and honored for his helpful donation towards the Manaiakalani Education Trust. His inspirational words motivated us all as students to keep moving forward in life.

The words that he preached today was "My mission is to help transform disadvantaged youths, and I hope my donation to the Manaiakalani Trust will help these young people gain the skills they need for tomorrow's job market."

We acknowledged that fact the he shared a small portion of his life with us about growing up with  only his mum to raise him and about the fact that music and arts literally saved his life. He told us that his dream was to look after his mother and siblings.

When he told us what his dream was we felt like we could do something with our life. Meeting or hearing him wasn’t just hearing or seeing him as a celebrity but we got to hear and see him as a person who motivated himself to succeed in life.

We came back to school feeling glad we got to be part of something worth remembering, we got to be part of something we could tell our friends with pride and experience.
