Niue Language Week

Niue is not a country everyone knows but guess what? 

They’ve got the best beaches that everyone could chill at, Clean water, fresh island and a nice hot place to chill at. Niue is well known as one of the largest upraised coral atoll in the world situated in the middle of the South Pacific within a triangle boundary of Tonga, Samoan and Cook Islands.


One day I would like to visit that island to check out the great things.

 

Dr Thierry's visit

Dr Thierry's visit was amazing, we got to look at onion cells using the microscope. Looking at the cells were pretty fun but sketching it was super hard cause I'm not that good at drawing. Learning about cells was interesting and knowing about what's in our body is SUPER FUN.


Firstly he taught us different things about the zebrafish such as the organs, body and cells straight after that he taught us how to work with the microscope. We started to look at the onion cells. It was pretty hard to see them but when we zoomed in we saw pink dots everywhere it was interesting and fun. 


Dr Thierry’s visit was spectacular and interesting I hope to have him every thursday so that we could learn much more about cells.

School President

Name: Peliasi

Date: 14th October

Title: School President 


It would be a great honor to become a School student representative, I could make a huge difference to the school and I’d make everybody’s  year their greatest year they ever had in their whole entire life. My name is Peliasi and I am going to convince you to vote for me as a school representative. 


If you vote for me as school president I would make sure every kid in the school gets a good deal, like their school fees, stationary and school trips... Technically $5 for the fees, $5 for the stationary and trips, free!! 


Lunch?? No need, I’ll provide kids with healthy and delicious lunches that almost taste like fast food but even mouth watering. Most parents don't have the money for lunches so I’d help out by making a cafeteria for every kid and guess what? The lunch is FREE!


I’d give the school a one hour break time so that everyone can have fun and get a lot of energy from their hard work at class, it would be great to have a longer break time then the 30 minutes break time.


 It will be hard to get these things but I will negotiate with the principal and make a perfect deal so that everyone would have fun. It's not all about making the school rich, it's also about saving money and having fun at school. I’m all you’ll ever ask for, If you hate on me I'll fold you up like 1,2,3,4.
