Why is it important to have 8 hours sleep? Explanation

Why is it important to get 8 hours of sleep every night?

We need 8 hours of sleep so that we can recover from the previous day. You might feel that your brain and body needs to rest. One of the ways sleep can help you is by growing higher than your height, get fit and feeling fresh for the next day to come. If you're not getting the right hours of sleep it will mean that your health is going low than before. Without sleep it can increase your hunger in the morning and that can be a effect because you're gaining more weight just because you’re not getting 8 hours of sleep. After, 8 hours of sleep you will feel more refreshed and ready for the next day.

How to get more sleep?

You can schedule a time every night to the morning. A know fact is that the time you sleep at is the time you’re likely to wake up at, perhaps sleeping at 8.00 and then you’ll find yourself waking up at 8.00 am. If you’re busy trying to get some sleep after 15-20 minutes get up and do something like listen to music and that will probably make you fall asleep.     

Do dreams come true? And what are the purpose of them?

Every night, every morning or even every evening we might go sleep and wake up from a shocking dream or a wonderful and peaceful dream. Every dream you might have has a purpose for e.g if it was about killing, it would mean that you're eager to kill an enemy. There could be good purposes of dreaming too you can imagine yourself singing on a stage going on tour and singing Beyonce or whoever is popular in mind, those are the dreams that some people might strive to be.

Having 8 hours of sleep is very important it can refresh your body and your attitude the next day to come. Not having 8 hours of sleep can cause you stress,hunger and sleepiness the next morning. You can set a time for yourself to get some rest so that you're ready for tomorrow. Dreams could come true if you work hard on it and be the best person you are.

Athletics~High jump

This sunny morning my class and I did high jump as part of athletics. We started off with the boys jumping first and then the girls. There was a technique of doing it, it was using the scissor legs technique. We began running using the scissor running technique sideways and jumping with the leg that is farthest from the rope. All the girls ran away when it came to their turn and that was wasting time, so the solution was doing 2 laps running around the field without stopping. After we finished all the girls high jumped over the rope and it felt good to finally accomplish jumping over the rope. It was my turn to jump over the rope and I aced it like it was nothing to me, I got up and shouted out “IM TONGAN YO” It felt good to get that out and the highest jump of all was 1.24 metres.

Holiday Explanation

16.10.14 How I spent my Holidays

School Holidays are 2 weeks with no attendance of school. No schools are open in N.Z i think after 10/11 weeks of school. It is a time to spend more time with families and a time to relax.

During the holidays it was boring because a power cut has occurred for about 1 day and ?hours. With no power meant NO heated food,NO phone charge and worst was having to use candles. I opened the door and looked forward to the hallway, pitch black it was you could see nothing but your own candle.

I spent a lot of time at Mangere where my Aunty and her children lived. I had a heap of fun, we made the most of it there because we haven’t seen each other in months. The first night we were there we had pizza and takeaway chips, I know a lot of junk. We then went home and carried on playing on the ps3.

Another thing was that I spent a lot of time at home playing on my phone or adoring myself in front of the mirror. I’d play the apps on my phone and sometimes take selfies of myself and then delete it because there’s too many. Sometimes I’d take a break, walk to the kitchen and grab something to eat like chips or a packet of biscuits.

We have holidays because Kids need a break from school and for some reason so that Teachers can gain more knowledge to teach us more information.

How we can spend our holidays is explained above. Other things you can do is prepare dinner or meals for your family and do some chores around the house, just to get a little weight off your parents shoulders because they might be tired coming back from work.

Dear Mrs Tofa

Thank you for sharing with us some useful knowledge about a career in teaching. It was interesting when you spoke about how difficult it was for you to leave your Dad behind in Samoa to fulfil his dreams.

To be moving from the island of Samoa to New Zealand to get a good education and succeeding must've been a good feeling. You have inspired us to keep trying hard and to succeed.

Yours sincerely

Constable Andrew,

I would just like to thank you for coming to Room 10, in Glenbrae School to talk with our year 7 and 8 students. It was interesting when you spoke about how difficult it was to become a police officer. I learnt that hard work pays off.

Listening to you talk about how you get paid a lot of money when you are at boot camp was interesting. Also it is interesting that learning, studying and training to be the man you are today was hard. Thank you for sharing things about your personal background and explaining the steps to being a police officer. The important thing I learnt from you was to start choosing a career while we are still young.

Yours sincerely

Anamanu

Dear Mrs Dagmar

I want to thank you for coming to Glenbrae School and sharing your knowledge about art with us. Looking at your traditional pieces of artwork was amazing, I haven’t seen nothing beautiful than your tapa designs.

You have inspired us all to strive hard while were in Intermediate. I mostly enjoyed when you spoke about your background, and speaking about how you weren't that so good at speaking tongan. It was interesting when you spoke about how you first started at being a artist had to start from a low price at selling and the more you paint the more money you get from selling.

Also thank you for inspiring us to be a Art teacher and to do our best.

Yours sincerely

Anamanu

Dear Mr Dunn

I want to thank you for coming to Glenbrae School with the 4 other ex-students. You have inspired me to talk about enrolling in Tamaki College for schooling, in next year.

Listening to the ex-students talk about how the learning is in Tamaki was amazing, going to Wellington for a science fair and watching how the politics discussed.

Before you even came to Glenbrae School I enrolled in Tamaki and got accepted, I wasn’t sure about going because of the things that I’ve heard but when you came I now am stoked to be going to Tamaki.

Yours sincerely

Dear Constable Geoff,

Malo e lelei my name is Anamanu.

I’m writing to say thank you and for taking your time to come visit our class at Glenbrae School.  

I found it really interesting when you talked about how much effort it takes to be a Police Officer. It must've been hard running all those laps and having to lose all those pounds. I also learned that you get paid a lot of money during boot camp. Thank you for inspiring us all to work harder, while we are still young.

When you were still in Tonga did you go T.C.T? Well if you did there might be a chance that you know my Dad. ;)

I really appreciate you giving your time to inspire us to work hard.

Yours sincerely,

Anamanu

Healthy Living Presentation

Powhiri opening🍀

Last week on Thursday Len Brown,Nick Smith and his crew came to Glenbrae School for the ceremony (powhiri) of the opening for a new Glenbrae school’s early childhood centre. The media from the maori television on channel 19 took pictures and videos of the Powhiri also, there were some protesters shouting out to Nick Smith that they want their homes back permanently.

It began with a prayer from Matua Jim, then followed by was Afe one of the members of the board of trustees doing a speech. Afterwards Len Brown the mayor of Auckland,New Zealand did a speech and then ending with a song called Te Aroha, well I could say he does have a nice voice for his age. After all the speeches that said during the Powhiri we all went to the front of the school and dug the first hole of making the new early childhood centre.

It would have been perfect but the protesters outside the school gate were really disturbing and loud. The whole Powhiri finished off with a prayer outside and everybody were filled with joy in their hearts, because their younger siblings can go to Glenbrae School now.

#2 Tae Kwon Do ☯

Wow! Ever wanted how to learnt to defend yourself in serious situations. Today my class and I learnt new skills of Tae Kwon Do. First we learnt how to punch but with a little bit of force, by bending your left leg while punching. We did that for a few times and then we moved onto kicking. This type of kick was a Jump kick, it was twisting our leg and kicking at the same time like turning and kicking. After, we learnt how to jump to the sky and punch 2 times towards the punching bag.

At the end we played a short game with using a rope and a punching pad. We all went into a little circle and the person in the middle spun around the punching pad below our legs or otherwise higher where our heads are so that we duck down to protect ourselves. It was a fun game and it was cool playing it.But at the end we learnt more and probably learn more when our next session comes next Tuesday.

My Hoilday Recount ^.^

During the school holidays my family and I went to Tonga to attend our Family Aholelei Reunion that happens every 2 years. When I got there It was steaming hot. If you just sit there doing nothing, sweat will be running down your whole face.

Our reunion runs for a whole week. On Wednesday it was a day to celebrate all the Nana’s that are part of the reunion’s birthdays.

All the young children performed an item or a dance to celebrate their birthday’s. Next it was time for me, my item I performed a Tongan dance taught by a good friend. The name of the song I was danced to is Fisí To Toa 2 verses and a chorus. It was a nice fast and simple dance to do. It was good to be performing in front of the whole family because I’ve never done this in years since I was little. And so the day ended with a little surprise with a fruit cake eaten by the whole family.

When It was time to leave tears were running down everybody's faces. It was sad to watch saying goodbye because everybody got along. When we returned back Aotearoa it was freezing cold. I mean going outside was colder, letting the cold breeze go pass you;( it was really cold. The weather here was way different to Tonga. I can’t wait for the next reunion.

卐 Taekwon Do Lesson .1

Yesterday morning room 10 met a Taekwon Do instructor called Yu. We first had begin with taking off our shoes so that we don’t fall over. We learnt these moves so that we can use it for self defence, whenever were in trouble.

We began with learning how to punch,differently but with a little bit of force into punching.Our fingers were tighten up into a tight ball with our thumb closing it at the outside.After, she taught us that we moved onto walking forward and changing our hand movements while we punch. We then learnt how to kick. When, we kick we kick with our heel not with our toes, but with our heal going forward into kicking.

At the end we all finished off by playing a game of tag. Whenever you get tagged you have to stand like a banana with our hands pointing up to the sky and wait for someone to put your hands down called the banana split. In between the lessons Yu talked about the history  of Taekwon Do. It was fascinating learning about it, actually Taekwon Do is best known for their fast,strong kicks.We really enjoyed our first lesson with Instructor Yu.  

Museum Reflection

The senior classes of Glenbrae School were learning about Natural Disasters at the Auckland Museum. The thing I found the most interesting was the type of ways how a volcano can explode. They can explode many different types of rocks. Something I learned was that volcanoes are everywhere, and to be specific there are 55 volcanoes in Auckland. Mount Wellington is known as the most visited mountain in Glen Innes. I’m lucky because I could see Mount Wellington from my house.

Hangarau - Technology

On Fridays our class go to Tamaki college to learn digital Technologies. Hangarau is the maori word for technology.When we are in class, we have to use the Kiore and the Papa patuhi to log into the Rorohiko. On the rorohiko we have to use the ipurangi to log into the pae tukutuku for digital technologies. Every week we access the maramataka to know what task we have to do. Sometimes our teacher will send us messages to our imera. Sometimes our teacher will send us dojo points from her Waea Pukoro, or she might also use her waea pukoro to take photos of us working. At school or at home some of us use our rorohiko ponaho to do our work.
