Belonging to Me Poem

This is my chromebook
The brand is an acer
The colour is matte black
And there are exactly 73 keys on it

This is my chromebook
It frequently lags
One of the keys is astray
From being picked off
And some keys malfunction

This is my chromebook
The camera does not work
It is on the verge of breaking
It is quite old
But I will not replace it


Hi everyone! It sure has been a while since i’ve last posted. Anyway this my poem that I created for literacy, as you can my poem is about my Chromebook! I inserted my poem to Gemini AI to create an image relating to my poem. Originally the poem was supposed to be on the image but unfortunately it wouldn’t work. I hope you enjoyed reading this!

Skiing in Afghanistan

Hello everyone. A few days ago in my literacy class we learnt about Afghanistan and it’s violent history behind it. This here is my response to text activity regarding the unfortunate events that happened in Afghanistan. Before doing the activity we read a text called “Skiing in Afghanistan” and it sounds like a interesting read, you can find this online or in your local library. Goodbye!

What I did during the holidays..

TASK DESCRIPTION: As you all may know, the holidays have come to an end. Now we’re back to school and it is TERM 4! This here is my short summary of what I did during the holidays. Enjoy!


During the holidays, I helped out my family by doing a few chores, mainly the washing and the dishes. I also visited my cousins and spent some quality time with them by playing Roblox together. Days and days passed, things were starting to get boring and the holidays was nearing its close. Until one day, my mum asked what I wanted to do before school would start. However, I was indecisive. So my mum suggested that we go to the Sylvia Park mall, I liked the sound of that so I agreed. Once we arrived at the mall we browsed through various stores before settling down to eat at an restaurant. Looking back, my holiday was nice and relaxing. I had some lowlights and highlights but overall I really enjoyed the time off!

Adobe Express Voiceover

Hi everyone, today in literacy we had to create an animation video using a website called Adobe Express. This video here is my voiceover of the previous 6 sentence story I wrote, you can find the story right below this post. I decided to choose this background since it matches the story, and I just chose this character for fun.

Writing Challenge Level 4

Hello everyone! Welcome back to my blog, this is my task for literacy. We were given a few pictures and had to choose one of them, so I chose this one. We were also given three keywords to use in our piece of writing, and to make it more challenging we could only write SIX sentences. Feel free to leave a positive comment, byebye!

Podlab Trip

This morning for literacy, me and a few others got the opportunity to visit Podlab. A recording studio in Auckland Central where podcasts are produced and made. Only 10 students were chosen, they were chosen based on how good their previous podcasts were and how attentive they were in class. The group was evenly split: 5 girls and 5 boys. We were also joined by a special guest Mrs Burt!

After team assembly the selected students were ordered to meet in the street for a short meeting before our depature. Not long from there we boarded the school van and began the drive to Podlab. The ride was a bit long in my opinion, and the boys in the back were VERY loud which made it feel even longer.

Once we arrived we were greeted by two kind ladies Jay-Jay and Jas, along with their little puppy, Tilly. We then proceeded upstairs to the main office, Jay-Jay and Jas both explained the basics of recording, editing, and producing a podcast. They even got to watch our podcasts from school!

Everyone was then handed both a pen and this guidance paper on how to create a podcast. HOWEVER the pen wasn’t some ordinary pen, it was kind of like a stylus aswell. We also then had the chance to see the actual studio. There was two, Studio A and Studio B.

Studio B had this awesome soundproof room, called a whisper room. It was cool to use but the space is very limited . In both studios we got to use the professional equipment, the studios were nice and modern. The walls were decorated with  framed posters, and there were lights everywhere. It was a bit crowded and cramped in there due to the ALOT of equipment in there.

We also took part in this activity where each of us got a turn to be a host and a guest. All of us had to then line up in a boy/girl order and had a 1 minute session where we each introduced and talked about our chosen topics. Once we finished recording, we made our way back to the lounge area and got watch back the podcasts!

While watching the podcasts, Jay-Jay kindly gave us free powerrade, which was handed to us by Mr Moran. On the way back to school, I learned that Jay-Jay was actually a former radio host!

The purpose of this trip was to learn more about podcasting and how to improve our podcasts, this was such a fun and memorable experience. I really enjoyed this experience because this was my first time recording in a real podcasting studio. I give thanks to Jay-Jay and Jas for giving us this opportunity, aswell as Mr Moran for selecting me.


Hi everyone! I apologize for not posting anything for the past 3 months, but now I am back. Anyways this is my recount of the truly memorable experience I had at Podlab!
