My Explanation Of The Pt England Way

Co-operation, Honesty, Learning, Joy, Hope, Responsibility and Service. This is the Pt England Way. The Pt England Way to us is a way of life. We use The Pt England way because it helps us become better citizens of our community.


Co-operation is one of our values.  Working together means working as a team,like when you are doing sports you need to pass the ball to everybody not just hog it or pass it to your mates.You also need Co-operate when you get a job. Basically it helps now and then.Another one of the Pt england ways are Using your W.I.T.S.  
W.I.T.S stand for Walk away, Ignore It, Talk about it and Seek help . Pupils use this to calm down also to solve their problems.  


Each year Pt England school has a different saying. This year it is Tiaki Taonga. This means the act of caring in Maori .For an example of the act of caring  it Pt England school had the saying  Kia Pai Te Kotahi o-operation last year.


Some more wear it with pride, a tap not a kick, is it Kind?, think ahead, stop,think and do, be kind to visitors, chuck it in the bin, take charge, walk in line, purua to potae(wear your hat), play the right way. Another example is for play the right way. The students  do not play tackle unless it is for a sport team. Or wrestling even if it is just for fun. Carrying on with our values go around the outside. Finally Champions never give up. Pt England School is proud of their values.




In conclusion the Pt england way is something people at Pt England school follows. That has been my explanation on the Pt England way. Please leave some feedback. Thanks.

This is My Narrative Of my Holidays

During my holidays my mum and dad sent my little sister and I to my Aunt’s out West. As we arrived at my Aunt’s house we got told he had too get the groceries. Looks like I am  looking after  my little sister I said to my self. I put the TV on for her and went outside to play on my bike. Awhile had passed and my sister got hungry so I gave her a pancake from the fridge. I went back outside to ride my bike.

Then I heard a bang. My little sister came crying outside. She was crying because she broke my Aunt’s good cup and plate. I went to have a look inside at what had happened. I told my sister “It's ok I’ll clean it up”. She said “ok”.   I started cleaning it up carefully. Then my sister wanted a drink, she trotted across the glass and she stepped on one. I tried to get it out but it was to hard. She was crying like a mad person. I told her to calm don

My Aunt got back and she was outside so my sister went to hide in the Garage. In  the end I decided to tell my Aunt the truth after all she would of found out. We called for  my sister”Atareita, Atareita”. She came out of her hiding place and said “ I'm sorry Auntie for breaking your plate and cup. It was an accident. I was playing around when I shouldn't have. I am really sorry. “It’s ok” my Auntie said. “It was a accident. So we cleaned it up together and then we had a nice lunch. That was my day at my Aunt’s place.
