Half a day of KPMG

 Yesterday, Extension took a special trip to KPMG. Now, if you don't know what "KPMG" is, I suggest you look at this. Anyways, we went there to learn about adult experiences and how the environment would be.

When w got there, we entered a room filled with some adults, each of them explained what there place was in the building and their company. After all of them explained their place, we were offered a tour when we had split into four groups based on the elements. I was with Kauri, Rae Jae, Kalani, Militina, Candice and Waris, together, we were water, and we went with pond.... Yo, if you're reading this, sorry I forgot your name... :(

Anyways, we got a tour around the building, it was actually a great tour, I got relate to some animators and programmers there and it was really interesting! :D

After that, we headed back to the main room, and we had some really yum morning tea: consisting of Sausage rolls and some juice. Sadly, I left early due to an interview I had with Sacred Heart College. But, it was still a great experience well I was there. We had also spoken with an environmentalist that works in Pennsylvania.

Overall, wish I could stay for longer, my team, water lost, heard it from Kalani    :(

Time to think critically!

WALT: Think critically about what we read.

The Great Colosseum

 Roman Colosseum - Information Report:

In more ancient times of Roman, The Colosseum shone with glory, warriors clashed against beasts and combatants, thousands of viewers glared at the battle scene each day, so why is it in the state it is today?

The History:

The Colosseum was built between 72 AD and 80 AD, The Colosseum consists of stone and concrete. The Colosseum was able to seat roughly fifty thousand people at a time and was originally called Flavian Amphitheatre, however, it’s now known as The Colosseum. It was constructed by tens of thousands of Jewish slaves under the rule of the Emperor Vespaisen, but Vespaisen had died before the construction of The Colosseum was finished, so it was opened by the Emperor’s son, Titus.

The Battles:

The battles inside of the Colosseum were mainly used for gladiatorial contests and the gladiators used them for animal hunts, executions, reenactments of famous battles, and dramas based on Roman Mythology, and stories. One of the tournaments lasted one-hundred days. In the Colosseum, though gladiators didn’t always battle to the death, quoted by experts “roughly four-hundred-thousand warriors had died fighting for glory.”  

The Modern Day Perception:

The Colosseum is famous because it’s origin featured gladiator battles that took place during roman empires. Moreover, (Dion Cassius) claimed that nine-thousand wild creatures were slaughtered in the one-hundred days of celebration which inaugurated the amphitheatre. The Colosseum was damaged by the great earthquake of 1349 and had broken half of its stadium. The Colosseum has gained a large amount of popularity in the Modern Day, especially after Ridley Scott’s Gladiator.

Conclusion:

The Roman Colosseum is still a great influence to this day, and has amazed historians around the world, and though it’s in bad condition, it shall survive for thousands more years to fascinate millions of people.

Fia Fia recount...

Last night, a special performance took place at Pt England School. It was the night of Fia Fia.

When school finished, I just stayed, and hung out with my friend Rongo. I bought a mango Otai for me and some of my other friends. After hours of waiting, preparation for Fia Fia had finally began.

Along with some of my friends like Devante, Jermaine, Chaun, Simon and Lucian, I was in the Hip-Hop group. Though it wasn't really cultural or anything, I was happy to be there! After quite a few groups, it was finally our turn!

We went up on the stage and it was kind of nerve-racking... But I managed to stay in the positions of our dance. I had so much fun during our dance, dancing with my friends. At the end of our dance, we were tired, but relieved it was finished... 

Overall, it was a fantastic experience! My favourite dance to watch was probably the senior Samoan group, just 'cause it's my culture and it looked awesome! :D
