About Me 2021

 Talofa Lava my name is Jane and I am now a year 8 at Pt England school. This year I was chosen to be house captain with a few friends. Also this year I have Mrs Stone for both home class and maths, and for literacy I have Mr Moran.

My hobbies are playing sports such as Cricket, Softball, Netball, Touch, and Rugby, spending time with family and friends, going to Church on Sundays to thanking the lord for all the things he has done for us. 

I also enjoy Reading and Writing. Writing helps me get away into my own imagination. Writing also helps me understand people's perspectives as well as reading. Reading helps me calm down, I usually read a book at night to help me fall asleep. It also helps me get better words for writing. 

I am Samoan and Tokelau. I love having my parents who are very cultured to tell me about all the things in Tokelau and Samoa. I love hearing legends and myths about my cultures because they are always very interesting. I have visited Samoa before and have seen a lot of amazing landscapes in the time I was there. 

As this year is my last at Pt England I am trying to make the most of my time here. I am setting very high goals for myself this year and I expect to achieve most of them. Can’t wait to see what my future holds.

5 Facts About Tokelau

 This is to celebrate Tokelau language week which happened a while ago. I am actually Tokelauan and was really sad when we didn't get to celebrate, but I understand that that week our school was just really busy. Anyways happy late Tokelauan language week. 

What's in the Bag?

 

Task Description: This maths task was all about probability. The instructions are on slide 3. So the whole class had to get into partners, then one of the two people go and get 6 blocks but you could only pick two colours our two colours were white and black. We picked 4 black and 2 white. We then had to go to another persons desk and pick one of their colours then once you pick one out you put it back and pick again. You go again and after 8 turns you guess how many colours of each block. It is hard explain but try to understand that as well as you can. I hope you enjoy!

Algebra Everywhere

Task Description: This task was actually really easy for me. So to work out the 1st slide I had to find the connection between the numbers and figure out what the rule, the 50th number, and the next number in the box. I found out that the rule was add six to get the next number. I also had to figure out the next number in the pattern then I found the 50th number.
