Extension . . .
This year I was privileged to be in the year 7 & 8 extension group for 2020. This is my third year of being in extension which is such an honour! My highlights on being in extension is going to KPMG and creating some christmas stuff.
I absolutely loved the KMPG trip so I’m looking forward to going there next year.
Another highlight of mine is just hanging out with my extension friends. They’ve been nothing but nice to me this year.. which I’m really grateful for!
Last week on friday, the extension class and a few students went to KPMG. KPMG created us a fun programme for us to do. The programme was based on arts and craft.
When we arrived at KPMG ( Located in the city of Auckland. ) we first had to sign our name. I’m pretty sure it was because we were guests.
After that they introduced themselves. I’m not gonna say all their names but I’ll tell you my favourite staff member there! My favourite “staff” member was a person named Nina… which was funny since my friend Nina was coming along the trip.
Nina was such a kind and genuine person that she helped me with my art project that came out amazing! She probably helped me because 2 people from KPMG ruined my artwork.. although A+ for trying! Me and Nina created a Christmas Tree and decorated it with paint, stickers, and some of these ornaments. It turned out so cool that I was willing to give it to Nina as a thank you gift, although she wanted me to give it to my sister.. which is kind of her!
Thank you so much for inviting us KPMG!

Inspiration from : http://pestorekat.blogspot.com/2012/09/being-super-hero.html
My name is DeafMouth, well at least that’s what they call me. I’m personally not a fan of the name but the people decided it. My ability is “counter”, it’s a bit confusing but you’ll know what I do later on. But if I get into HEAPS of trouble, I’ll scream like how a tumultuous carnival sounds like. Trust me it’s loud, but that’s only if I’m in an extreme situation.
But you mustn’t tell a soul! And you have to promise that or I’ll SCREAM in your ears.. just joking!
I usually sneak out of my classroom if anyone needs help, I quickly go to the bathroom and get out of my uniform like it dissolves from my body. My hair turns to my bed hair like I’m crazy, like it’s evolving from normal to weird.
But sadly, my identity must be kept a secret because of this EXTREMELY evil teacher in room 3.
Mrs. Tele’a, also known as “The TELLER”. She’s known as the evil villain in every single movie. She could be the zombie, or even worse the Zombie Queen!
Everyone is scared of her, well everyone except for me. I have the ability to counter everything she tells me, which is AMAZING! She always reveals her powers when she’s growling someone for the most simple reason in the whole entire UNIVERSE!
She always tells people off, that's why she’s known as “The TELLER”. Such an evil and FRIGHTENING name. I remember when we were battling, she wanted me to join Villains Incorporated, but I refuse because all they do is kill innocent people.
But sadly, she’s not my exact enemy. My real enemy is ‘Ear Girl’. It’s such a strange name in my opinion. It’s stranger than mine! She even named herself that, she might as well be ear wax girl since she uses earwax to defend herself.
And you know what's worse than her personality. I used to be BESTFRIENDS with her! I know it’s so embarrassing! And you know what’s even worse than that?! Whenever we were friends she would always secretly put earwax in my hair and it would always get stuck in my hair, it was that sticky! Imagine if it was just like slime but instead it’s earwax version. Well now let’s talk about what she does. She steals from every bank in Auckland, she’d always use her powers (earwax) for advantage. She’d chuck HEAPS of earwax in every witness's eyes and make their mouth shut like someone used superglue on their mouth. It took awhile for it to dissolve from your mouth, and trust me I know why! But you don’t have permission to ask me what happened!
My boss from HeroIndustry, a group I joined after VilliansIncorporated invited me. Wait I forgot.. you don’t even know HOW I joined it?? Well let me tell you right now!
Well, as you know ‘The TELLER’ invited me to VilliansIncorporated, I of course declined. They were cruel, wicked like a witch and warty. I forgot to tell you, the Villains look just like a witch. Pointy nose, warty and they have a BLACK CAT plush.
After I declined, a few days after I saw an innocent person getting attacked by ‘The TELLER’, “she must have taken her anger at that person” I thought. I ran inside the class room and I came to the rescue. I countered the things she told him and I screamed like a tumultuous carnival, then she froze like she was a robot having an engine made by lackadaisical scientists.
I grabbed the superhero’s hand and ran away. ‘The TELLER’ came for us and with an evil and unholy face. When I looked back I thought she needed a face mask so I took one from my bag of goods and threw it at her face.
Luckily that face mask made her lose us and I can imagine her wicked face being so upset. I mean, I was being nice to her anyway, I gave her a face mask and she really needed it. So she should be thanking me.
I found out that the person I saved was the CEO of HeroIndustry, I was very intrigued about him after he said that. I kept asking him questions about what it's like being the CEO of a very important company and I also asked him why he’s so weak, I’m just joking!
Since I saved him he gave all the information I could ever need, I found out his enemy was ‘The TELLER’. I was about to laugh because she was so weak and they still can’t beat her?!
He first told me his name, which was Silly Willy and then after he told me his ability was ‘Mindless’, which is basically a fancy way of saying ‘Silly’.
No wonder why he can’t even beat that weak human? Wait should I even say human?? I might as well say alien. TELLER the alien.. that made me chuckle.
He wanted me to join the HeroIndustry, I first asked if I would get money and he agreed to the question so of course I wanted to join!
So that’s how I joined HeroIndustry.
Whoops, I might have gotten too attached to how I joined HeroIndustry, I just love it that much. They’re kind, caring and they can show the Point England Way, just like me!
Now let me tell you what my boss said, he said that a villain named ‘Ear Girl’ robbed another bank. He wanted me to deal with Ear Girl which was perfect! I can finally get revenge on what she did to me 3 years ago…. right you don’t know what she did, well let me tell you right now. As you know she WAS my best friend, until a few years later…. she betrayed me!
She randomly attacked me while we were both in the bathroom, she injured me terribly… luckily I was able to escape the tragic event that happened using my ‘counter’ attacks.
After a few months of healing I tried to confront her, then she did the same thing but in front of everyone. When she attacked me, she looked back behind her.
She realised that everyone was watching her, then she randomly disappeared. It’s like she dissolved in thin air. Then I randomly gained consciousness, well that’s what people told me at least. Then I woke up in the hospital. I had to take a shower first thing I woke up because she launched heaps of earwax in my hair. It was an extremely painful shower.
It took several months to heal the damage she caused and after that I wanted my revenge… and I wanted a good revenge…
Now that all that dramatic past is done, now it’s time to talk about my mission. To save the bank, but in my opinion the mission should be called “Getting Revenge on the Ear Girl”.
I went to the bank located in Auckland, in Pakuranga.
I glided through Point England to Pakuranga as fast I could. In my opinion I was faster than a nanny with their walking stick.
Yeah I know I was ULTRA fast. Let’s stop talking about how fast I am and now let’s talk about the mission. I walked into the bank and saw my one and only enemy. Ear Girl… she acted like she didn’t know I was in the bank until she tried shooting earwax in my eyes but I dodged that quickly like I was a ninja. Then I used annoying counter attacks to break her ears.. and when she heard those attacks she looked like she was having a mental breakdown while blocking her ears.
She then countered back at me by chucking earwax in my mouth. She actually hit my mouth and my mouth was shut. Luckily I had an idea if this ever happened to me.
I first wait 5 minutes while dodging all her attacks. After 5 minutes all the moisture should be gone. It should be dry like the Sahara Desert. Then I used my special attack, the tumultuous scream. Then the earwax started shattering like it’s glass and it fell into my mouth. Then I spit the earwax out. My eyes turned red after having an eye to eye with Ear Girl.
Ear Girl was clearly frightened and tried to escape, but before she escaped I used my ultra secret powerful attack. The tumultuous scream x9… it would have been 10 but I had to use one of them on the sticky, icky and stinky earwax that made my mouth shut. I broke Ear Girl’s ears after I used my powerful attack on her and she gained consciousness. She woke up with me staring at her. Then I realised that her eye colour was different then before I fought her.
She then say’s “Simon is that you? Why am I here and what happened to me”.
I told her everything that happened and she said that she doesn’t remember anything that she did to me.
At Least I got my “revenge” but now I have to figure out what happened to her..
After 1 whole year of thinking about that strange event, I then realized that there was another villain which can use multiple abilities. His name was Ruthless, I researched about this Ruthless guy and looked for hints, clues… I practically needed ANYTHING.
After several days of searching, I found a photo of him unmasked… oh no..
Ruthless is my... School Principal Russell lBurt??

Today, 16th of October 2022 I decided to distract myself from working by having fun at this carnival. I was extremely excited to go there, although I didn’t have any friends to go with because all my friends, I mean my ONLY friend is a very industrious person.
I go outside, get into my car, wear my seatbelt and I start to drive to the carnival.
As I get out of the car I can already hear tumultuous sounds of games, roller coasters and people. As I walk in I see lots of fun and vibrant colours which brings joy to my eyes.
I feel like I’m gonna explode with excitement!
I look around like some sort of spy and I see this GIGANTIC rollercoaster! It looks like it’s a very popular roller coaster considering the amount of people in the line.
I got on the line and I waited. I wanted to burst my bubbles as I was waiting for my turn. I’m a extremely impatient person. After an hour of waiting in the line, it was finally my turn!
My joy and excitement came back until I realised that I wasn’t tall enough! I didn’t even realise there was a sign telling me that I was only able to go on the ride if I was tall enough. Although I needed supervision to go on even though I was already an adult!
I tried negotiating a deal with the man but he didn’t even try to listen to my words, I even tried negotiating him with MONEY! I dreadfully walked back, but then he called me back. I have no clue why he called me back, maybe he wanted the money? But turns out a VERY tall person, way out of my range wanted to supervise me.
I agree in excitement and my joy is back again! I asked him if he wanted some money, but she disagreed. Which was very weird, I mean I would NEVER not accept free money. I mean who wouldn’t? Maybe he was wealthy I thought. I shrugged my shoulders and I jumped on the roller coaster ready to get on! In a few seconds he was about to start the roller coaster. I was so nervous that there weren't even butterflies in my stomach, there were WASPS in my stomach. He started in and I SCREAM in joy. I may have made a tumultuous sound but I didn’t care. I can hear the tall women next to me screaming even more than me! I closed my eyes and elevated my arms. After 5 seconds, the roller coaster was done. I was so happy I got to experience the ride and I thank the tall women with all my heart once we got off.
She asked for my number because she wanted to be friends with me.
I was very surprised that she wanted to be friends with me, I just thought she wanted my money! I gave her my number and we decided to do the games together! The game’s were immeasurably more fun with friends!
I guess everything is fun with friends. Today was a fun day, I made a new friend, experienced the most SUPREME rollercoaster ever. But now I have to go back and do my work. I’m looking forward to hanging with friends again!

Task description.
Today, Mrs. Tele'a challenged us! She wrote down some words and we had to figure out which words were nouns. For example, Simon. If my name was there it would be a noun! I think I managed to create a better mouse then Mrs. Tele'a and I also think I did a great job! What do you guys think?
Today, I’ll be teaching you ways to reduce the amount of plastic you use! I recommend using my strategies I found so we can save the environment and stop taking advantage of the Earth. Stay tuned!
One way to reduce plastic is by using a hierarchy called the 5 R’S. The 5 R’s is a hierarchy explaining how to reduce the amount of plastic going into the environment. Let me tell you what all the 5 R’S means. The first R is REFUSE, to learn how to refuse you can’t buy products with very unnecessary packaging. For example, those products might be Pringles, we should stop buying Pringles until they change their packaging because turns out their packaging is the WORST to recycle, so I recommend not buying it until they finish with their new package! Even if pringles are delicious, our Earth is definitely more important than pringles! The next R is Reduce, too reduce you need to stop using things that can’t be recycled. And you also have to try and stop using single-used plastic. I believe plastic bags can’t be recycled unless you just keep them. If you reduce there will be a LOT less plastic in the landfill!
The third R is Reuse, for example, like I said earlier. You could reuse your plastic bags if you have one! Instead of recycling it or throwing it in the bin, keep it! Another example is reusing water bottles! If you bought one, you could just keep it and just refill it at your house! Doing this will prevent even more rubbish going to the landfill! Now REPURPOSE, if any of the last steps don’t work, you should definitely try repurposing it. For example, using cardboard for storage, newspaper for maybe paper mache! And finally the last one, which is recycle. If NONE of the steps work, the best thing you can try to do in recycle. Recycling is probably the worst one out of all of them, but it’s better than putting it in the landfill. I’m guessing you know what to recycle, but if you don’t let me tell you! You can recycle things like soft plastic, all types of bottles like coke and more!
Now another important thing is to cook. Instead of buying HEAPS of fast food, try cooking fresh and healthy meals! Like currently I’m trying to learn how to cook so in the future I’ll be able to reduce the amount of trash I use and to become a healthy person as well! It’s extremely important to cook fresh and healthy meals because it’s good for the environment and good for you! Personally I’m not a huge fan of vegetables, but I’m gonna try and get used to them and eat them for my future self! It’s better to cook instead of buying fast food everyday because first of all, it’s a waste of money, second of all it has heaps of trash in them and lastly it won’t be healthy for you. Yes, fast food tastes amazing, but I would recommend buying it like a few times a month to just treat yourself from eating all the healthy stuff you consume!
So if you do all these things you’ve learnt in this writing you’ll be able to become a healthy person, and a fantastic person for trying to reduce the amount of plastic you use. Even if you do these things and still use plastic, it won’t matter because at least you’re taking the time to save the environment!

Today for tech, we made pizza using this wrap bases. Our pizza has the following ingredients - Cheese, pasta sauce, mince, capsicum, mushrooms and spinach! you enjoy my blog post, now I'm gonna enjoy my fantastic meal!
This Monday, we had our very own immersion assembly! This is our last immersion assembly for the year and our new topic/theme is called “Art Alive”. I’ll be sharing with you my highlights from what I experienced during the assembly!
One of my highlights was watching the very funny movies our wonderful teachers created. I will be talking about my teacher's movie, team 5! Unfortunately, 2 of our teachers weren’t there. Luckily one of them are back, but if you’re reading this please give Mrs. Ilaoa a big prayer in her comments! Or at least wish her good luck during these very unfortunate events. So in team 5’s movie, Mrs. Va’afusuaga and Mrs. Moala were acting as visitors of the Museum. They were both walking up to different legends/paintings. My favourite painting was Mrs. Stone’s part. She was meant to be a chilli but instead looking more like some sort of sausage!
I forgot what artist it was but what I learnt from him is that he paints all kinds of fruits and vegetables.
But great job to our other teachings doing the acts!
That is my highlight during the Immersion Assembly!
Task description.
For this task I had to create a poster about Edvard Munch, which is an artist that shows expression in his writing. I talked about why he created his first painting (the sick child) , his most popular painting he created and his date of death and when he was born. Then I decided to make my poster look pretty by adding heaps of detail!
Task description.
Today, me and my class were reading an article about environmental issues. And those issues are plastic! We learnt that plastic is damaging our environment and creating heaps of pollution! They also damage animals and make them extinct! In this task we had to convert sentences with numbers in it and put it in a google doc. Then I bolded the number in the sentence to make it look fancy!
