Ambassador Appplication

Hi my name is Akosita and I am 10 years old. I have 8 brothers and 4 sisters. My mum is full Tongan and my dad is part German.I would love the opportunity to be an ambassador to learn  more things and to do more things in my life. Being An ambassador means everything to me it will also help me be confident speaking in front of visitors and in front of the whole school. When I speak in front of visitors I would love to share my learning with them.

One of my blog post I've learned from and would like to share is the point England way.What I learned about this post is to be nice to each other,say their names and say excuse me.I learned how to post my learning on my blog and I learned how to draw an animation.Here is a link called  Good Friend about the point England way.

I hope I am considered as an ambassador. I will do a great job.

The things I have done to learn,create and share was a animation on the hyperstudio.I animated a story about gravity,objects that float .

We are learning to share our interpretation of what the artist is telling us through their pieces.

Good Friend

What does being a good friend mean?Being a good friend is important.I will explain three main ideas how and why being a good friend is important.

P.2

USE YOUR MANNERS

Using your manners is one of the important things you need For example:If I ask my friend for a rubber and she or he is just sitting there looking at you,waiting for you to say please and you don’t know what she is doing Then you ask her again may I use your rubber,she says “what do you have to say first”.I just stand there thinking what do I have say but I can’t think because my mine is going crazy, thinking what do I have to say then you.You ask your friend“ I do not know what to say” If you do not know what to say here is what you have to say”please”.There are three more manners you have to use Thank you,excuse me,and say people’s names.

P.3

HELPING EACH OTHER OR A FRIEND.

Helping each other is very kind and good also it will happen to you if you need help For example:If my friend and my classmates are sitting on the floor and they are listening to the  teacher then the teacher will say to them “does everyone know what to do” then the whole class says “yes” so their teacher tells them to go and there books,and pencils ready,so they did.when the teacher tells them to start writing they all started to write but my friend did not know what to do so he ask his mates could they help but they said to him “that is what happens when you don’t listen to the teacher “ so he ask his best friend if he could help him then his best friend said “sure”.His friend went to help him and the teacher saw him then she ask him “what are you doing” but he said “I am helping my friend” so then teacher said “ Thank you for helping him you are a superstar” then he felt like he was a superstar then he started to help everyone.

USE MY BRAIN,USE MY HEART,I AM GOING TO BE CYBERSMART

What does use my brain,use my heart,i am going to be cybersmart mean? It is important to be cyber smart. I will explain three ideas how to be cybersmart

USE MY BRAIN:

It is important to use your brain because it helps you to think and do. When you go online and see people writing dodgy emails to you, you need to tell someone. For example people are saying:I hate you,she is annoying,eww she looks ugly just tell someone or ignore it.When you get bad comments on twitter about you and your family,I know sometimes it hurts and you feel like doing it back to them but the right thing to do is tell someone.

    

USE MY HEART:

Using my heart means to do the best you can do in everything.For example you are doing your writing test and you do not know what to write in you next paragraph,just put all your knowledge in you work and do your best also never give up.

BEING CYBER SMART:

Being cyber smart will change your life it is also really good to you these ideas but in point England school we call it W.I.T.S.

On Thursday the 11th September it was cross country day and everyone was getting

extremely nervous especially me of course because I thought the other girls were faster than me.I told myself “do not say I am going to lose”, just stay calm but never stop when you are running” so that made me brave,never be afraid or give up because champions never give up also I prayed before I ran asking God to help me cause I knew that God will always make our prayers come true.

Once the year 5 girls got to the start line, I was getting nervous, I could feel my heart pounding against my chest.I reminded myself what I said.Mr burt said “put your feet together on the start line, when I say get marks get set you have to get ready” than Mr burt said Go!!.I was sprinting off but suddenly when I was sprinting some of the year 5 girls started to run in front of me but I reminded myself what I said when I sat down on the court “do not say I am going to lose,just stay calm but never give up”..

I heard some adults cheering and there were students who weren't racing, cheering too. already ran.We ran and ran than we got to where the horses were in pt england’s farm and that was were I was getting tired also some of the girls behind me were getting tired to and my friend lotu was running on front of me but she got tired so she stop running then I ran on front of her so I knew I was going to make it in the finals.

While I was running I looked behind me but most of the girls were walking so I just keep on running.The girls in front of me were Machelle,Rosalina,and Angelica but i just remembered that Mr burt said if you come 1st,2nd,or 3rd you are in the finals and I was coming 4th.I tried to catch up to Michelle but she was speeding off .when we almost got to the finish line I sprinted my hardest then Guess what? I came in third place.

We had to hit the shuttle with racquet,balance it,and we had a competition called Around the world and who ever hits the shuttle and will keep going till the end that person is the winner.I learned how to hit a good serve over the net by practising a lot. I learned how to dribble the shuttle on the racquet too. I wished that we still have badminton but on Tuesday that was our last day.

I really enjoyed badminton because it was a lot of fun the first time I went to badminton I thought it was boring. But once I tried it was really enjoyable.I learned how to do backhand serving and learned how to get a good shot by practising a lot. Next time i wish I could do better so when I grow up I could join badminton.

Introduction:

Do you know how to swim?Learning to swim is important.There are lots of reasons why and i will explain three of them to you.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Paragraph Two:

One of the reasons why is it important learning how to swim is because nz has  one of the highest drowning rates in the world.Twenty five percent of children aged  O-10 don’t not know how to swim.

Paragraph Three:

New zealand is a small country that is surrounded by water,lakes,rivers,,beaches,pools during summer families like to go to the beach for a swim but if you don’t know how to swim you might end up into an accident.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Conclusion:

Why learning how to swim is important?Learning how to swim is important because when you go for a swim and the pools are deep and you don’t know how to swim you might end up drowning so you must learn how to swim and go at your own local pools and learn how to swim.
