Aspiration + Inspiration = Motivation

Today Mr. Andrew Patterson visited us.He taught us what A+I=M means. It means Aspiration+Inspiration=Motivation. Aspiration is like a big goal or something you really want to be or have. It is your goal for when you get older and you want to try achieve it. Inspiration is when you don’t think you can do something but then someone inspires you that you can do it. Someone can inspire you to do better or to be like someone else like your role model. Motivation is the things that makes you want to do things. It's if you like things things like rugby then you train. Rugby is what will motivate you to train and stuff that relate to what it takes to do whatever you want.

Be a giver

Mr. Patterson told us of a story on NZ herald and it had a year 7 boy that gave a homeless man his lunch money for 2 weeks straight and then that made that man have a home.The boy got a gold reward from the school and Mr. Patterson gave him a trip to wellington.

Grit

Means getting up when you're down. When nothing goods happening to you and it's a problem then you just keep going.

Floundering Project

On Wednesday the 27th of September 2017 Pt England school went out floundering.We went down past Riki Rd on the grass watching above the students as they fish for baby flounder.Flounder are flatfish and they are yum but that's not why we are catching them.We are catching them and then letting them go when they are bigger.

We were trying to catch at least 5 baby flounder but we caught over 20.The students that are fishing are catching the flounder with nets and it worked better than I expected.We were trying to catch at least 5 flounder so we could beat Kauri flats school.The whole school sang a waiata for safe fishing and so we can catch flounder.Then we did our school karakia: To the prevailing winds which ascend from afar.Towards a coastal tide carry with you our inner thoughts imprint them among the heavens. As a guiding constellation for the tasks ahead, to strengthen my journey each day each day amen.

Then we went back to school.
