Should Pt England School Be A Single Gender School?

I think Pt England School should be a single gender school. Why? Well, firstly if it was an only girls school, girls would be more confident to speak without being made fun of. Secondly, there is less girlfriend and boyfriend problems going on. Lastly, the setting or environment is a good place for a girl to be in. Not in a room filled with distractions.

One: Girls are too scared to raise their hand up and speak with confidence without being teased about. But, with a room filled with the same gender they are more confident to speak up.

Second reason. There is less distractions like boyfriend, girlfriend problems. Also drugs, smoking, drinking and fights. Also girls can focus on their work without being bothered by any boys.

Last but not least, girls like to work in a room that is warm and bright. A room with people that won’t be a distraction. Being in a room filled with no distractions can change your learning which can change your test scores.

So having a single gender school is an awesome thing to have. I think its best to change Pt England School an only girls school.

Will.I.Am Visits OUR SCHOOL

INTRO:

You may have noticed our school on TV as well as the one and only Will.I.Am. The reason for this is that Will.I.Am gave us a HUGE koha. A koha is a special present. That's what we were given. A $100,000.00 check for the manaiakalani program  I know it is going to go for good use like our net-books and other things.  The story of Will.I.Am coming is pretty long. Let me start from the beginning, it all began with an assembly on Wednesday 08 of May....

STORY BEGINS:

Everyone was waiting anxiously for Mr Burt to walk into the hall with either good or bad news. He finally walked in and told everyone that we were having a very very special visitor coming in tomorrow. Apparently he was more important then John Key. I mean, who is more important then the prime minister. The sad thing though was that Mr Burt wasn't able to tell us who the special guest was. If he did tell us who it was then the special guest wouldn't come. But, the only thing that we were told was that he was really into music. Straight away the person in my head was Stan Walker.... Or the x factor judges. When our short assembly was finish all the prefects had to go to Mr Burt for a quick meeting.

When all the prefects arrived we were given important tasks for Thursday.  Some people were given the task to take pictures while the others had to greet the special guest. Me on the other hand had the most difficult task of them all. I had to say another Tongan prayer! When I was told I was so nervous and excited at the same time. When Mr Burt was talking to us, someone asked if we could find out who the special guest was. You would think that he would tell us, but NO!!! The only thing he told us was to not even talk about it. Not in class or with our friends... When we finished our meeting though, we went back to class.

I went home and thought about it. I'm sure everyone did. Then on 3 news it said that Will.I.Am was in New Zealand and that he was going to come back to do a full tour. The thought came into my head that the special guest was going to be Will. I. Am.... You never know... But then I said to myself 'naaa.... He is way to famous to come to our school. I mean, out of all the schools in New Zealand there is like 1/100 chance that he would come to our school.'

It was Thursday. The day everyone was waiting for. The day when the special guest was going to come and visit our school. It was basically the main thing on everyone's mind. Straight after morning tea everyone went into the hall for Mr Burt to tell us the big news and other things like to not stand up when we see the guest and to sing our school song properly. But everyone was waiting for the big news. Even I was. He finally got up to the part when he was going to tell us. Who is it??? Who is it???Who is it??? It was the only question in my head. "Who knows the band Black Eyed Peas?" Mr Burt said to us.

"Or  course... Will.I.Am" people were saying to there mates beside them.

Everyone knew now so the only thing that they were waiting for was the actual visitor him self. It took a while because of traffic but he arrived.

TO BE CONTINUED....

Another Ordinary Day Created By A Bunch Of Girls In Room 21

This movie was created by Shoal, Ashleigh, Jasmine and myself. It stars a year 6 ambassador named Lesieli. We were given the task to create this movie to show what a typical day might look like for a student here at our school. Because Lesieli is an ambassador she has more responsibilities, so some of the things you saw was what only a Pt England ambassador would do. Most of what you see though might be a typical day for most of our netbook students. Leave a comment on your thoughts. I hope you enjoy.
