I woke up on the last Sunday of the holidays all excited because I was playing in a basketball tournament at the ASB stadium. My team is called

The tournament went the whole day. It was tiring. Some of the teams we played were, Otara Oats and East Dragons.We played 6 games during the day, we won 4 and lost 2. There were some really good players.

Tamaki Tornadoes U/11’s made it to the semi finals. We played hard. I scored a goal because Stevenson passed me the ball when I was free. I put up the shot and it went in. At the end of the game we had won, the score was 10-9 to us. Woohoo we were in the FINAL!!!!!

The team we were supposed to play in the final had already gone home so we played a different team. I felt really happy we didn’t have to play them because they could shoot 3 pointers. The team we played instead beat us but we all had fun.

After the tournament I went to Judah’s house because when they dropped me off there was no one at home. Judah and I played games on the X-Box 360 until it was time to have dinner.  We had pizza and it was yummy as.  I had heaps of fun at the tournament and at Judah’s house.

Use my Brain, Use my Heart, I'm going to be Cybersmart.

For part of our writing we had to explain what Use my brain, use my heart, I'm going to be Cybersmart means to me.

Use my brain, use my heart, I’m going cyber smart was made up Mr Burt to share at an assembly. It was the korero for the week. The korero was to help us remember to do the right thing on our netbooks!!

Use my Brain means to have self-control when I’m working on my netbook. If l am on the wrong thing then l need to use my brain and stop doing it and close the tab before I get in trouble.

Use my Heart is when I can feel my heart beating faster because I’m on the wrong thing on my netbook.  It starts beating faster because I’m scared of getting caught and being put on detention or get my netbook taken off me and put away.

I’m going to be Cybersmart is when you have a bad Email sent to you. You have to take a screenshot of the email then send it to 3 teachers including Mr Burt. After you have done that then you can delete it from your email.
