Moving On, Looking Back

Kia Orana Room 19,

As we near the end of the year and our time at Papatoetoe South School, it's a good time to stop and think.

We have a great chance to look back and think about the things we have enjoyed, what we've learned and what some of our favourite experiences have been. It is also a time to look forward, to intermediate and the challenges of the future.



Your task is to think and write about-

- What have I really enjoyed from my time at Papatoetoe South School?
- What or who will I miss the most?
- What am I really looking forward to at Intermediate?
- What am I worried about for the future and moving on?
- How will I make sure my move up to Intermediate is a big success?

The usual blog rules apply.


Meet the Robinsons Task

Kia Ora Room 19,

This week we been read-watching a movie called 'Meet the Robinsons'.

It is about an orphan inventor boy called Lewis who creates many different machines, 2 of which allow him to travel into the future and look into the past. He has great adventures along the way and meets some interesting characters.

Your task is to imagine you have a time machine.

- where would you go in the future?
- why would you go there?
- where would you go in the past?
- why would you go there?
- what might the positives be?
- what might the negatives be?
- is there anybody in particular you would like to see?



You must tell us the year that you are traveling to. For example:

Future Year = 2050


I would like to visit the year 2050 and see where I am at that time. I want to know what my occupation is, if I am still a teacher in Papatoetoe. I will be 76 years old so maybe I'd be retired.


Past Year = 1939


I would travel back to the year 1939 and visit Scotland. I would like to see the water horse and ride on it. The negative might be that it could eat me though! It would be an interesting time.

Use your imagination, the usual blog rules apply.
