Holiday

The holidays

During the school holidays the coolest days were one tuesday, thursday, friday and saturday. Firstly, on Thursday me and my family went to the 90 mile beach and got some mcdonalds and watched turner and hooch. On the first day my sister and I didn’t go swimming, we just played in the sun on the sand. On friday we went to the 90 mile beach again and this time we swam but didn’t play in the sun. On Saturday we went again but this time we played first then swam with our boogie boards. Last but not least tuesday we stayed at home but I had a hang out with two of my best friends  Hemi and Atama but it wasn’t really a hang out because they played fortnight while we were talking. So my mum told me to get off and go play outside with my sister so I did but we played what she always plays, swinging at the hammock but the last time we did it she broke her arm. But normal when we play it she walks but this time she was scared to do it because my dad mod the lawn and after a while she came up with an idea when dad comes you jump of and race the lawn mower and if get so far ahead of it you have another lap then you push the other person so they can race.

Covid-19

I agree with the protesters because you should be able to choose if you want to be vaccinated or not, like my family doesn't want to take the Covid-19 vaccine. If people will take the vaccine to help stop the spread of Covid-19 then good for them. But I disagree  that the government wants to threaten people's jobs to get them vaccinated. But when you have a little cold or sneeze it is better for everyone if you just stay home. If your city or town is in lockdown don’t move out of your bubble  or border.

my person

 

WALT: Describe my person in detail

My dad is the best, his hair is smooth, fluffy, blond mixed with black, his hair is as bright as the sun.  My dad is happy to be alone and to do work around the house and his smile can light up  the dark.  He helps us to understand things like how earth spins and how wind is made and anything we ask he will help us understand, his knowledge is similar to an elephant's knowledge and their knowledge is fantastic.  When we get home he is super happy to see us and wants to know what we did at school, and sometimes we ask him what he did at home, sometimes he is really, really fun.  He is as tall as a giraffe.  He is amazing at sports like, rugby, cricket, and soccer.  When he was a kid he played rugby and broke his arm in a scrum and they thought it was just badly sprained and not broken.   

My dad’s favourite place is the stardome in Auckland.  There is a playground behind the star dome. When you enter the star dome there are toys on your left and some cool things about space, telescopes and when you walk forward there is where they tell you about the constellations and space.    

mothers day

 My mum helps us with our homework and also how  she is so supportive and she helps us  to get to sports events on time. She helps us when we are injured or hurt. She cheers me on when I'm playing soccer or basketball or rugby.  She is the best, sometimes she is amazing and like a superhero and sometimes  like a good mum.

Tsunami Warning

 WALT: Write a narrative

Tsunami Warning Friday 5/03/21  

Last Friday when we were in class, Yvette got a Tsunami warning on her phone, when she got the warning we packed our bags and made our way to the Whare.  When we got to the whare Mrs Stevenson  told us what was going to happen.  After Mrs Stevenson told us what was going to happen we started to walk to the top of our Maunga. While we were walking up the Maunga I kept getting pricked by the gorse.  After a few minutes of walking we stopped for a break then we started to walk again.  Then we stopped at the highest point of Paparore school Maunga named Ngatu.  While we were at the highest point of the Maunga, Jacob and I dug a huge hole. When I finished digging I looked around me and saw an entire town and I could see our lake, then Sir came with the gazebo and we all moved  down and had some kia and a sausage sizzle. After eating the sausage sizzle we had some school waita and we sounded amazing.  Then the Tsunami Warning was over at last!  

Then we went down the maunga and through Yvettes paddock.  While walking through Yvettes paddock me and Samson were peeking at some flowers and I gave them to Lucy, Grace, Hemi and Grace's doll.  When we got back to school I went to the toilet and it was such a relief to wash my hands after digging in the soil.  

When we went to line up for bus lines Richard's bus line got a new bus to drive in for that day.  But when they left we had the last of the sausage sizzle. Then Lance was late so we all got into different cars with the teacher. After a while me and my sister got off at our bus stop, because Mrs Davan called my Mum and she called my Dad who came to pick us up. Dad asked me what happened at school today and it was a long, long, long  story to tell. 

 

Camp Thank-you Card

Three days after camp we started to write thank-you letters to some of the helpers from camp. Some letters were long some were short but they all were fantastic. All of the parents that came on camp will love the thank-you letters.

Thank you Whaea Gloria

We  have had a new teacher helper called Whaea Gee. She was a great teacher we miss her very much and we appreciated her helping and teaching us for four weeks. We will really, really, really miss her and she was amazing!

Speeches

 WALT present a persuasive speeches. my learning speech reflection is that I did a loud and clear voice.  what I did well was my eye  contact and a loud voice. I can work on learning my speech of by hart next time. I felt nervous and exited at the same time.  

Do you care about the environment? Do you care about all the animals dying? We can all help to prevent this if we act now and start recycling. 

Recycling helps save animals in the water and on land and birds in the sky. We can help clear the skies from lots of dust and smoke for birds like the Southern Albatross which is the biggest seabird.  Recycling plastic will prevent it from landing up in the ocean where turtles will think it is their favourite food named jellyfish and whales mistaking it for cril. If more people recycle their plastic, there will be less plastic and more animals.

Recycling saves our planets resources.  By recycling 1 ton of paper, we save 17 trees.  Recycling oil prevents water pollution.  

Another positive thing about recycling is that it creates jobs.  There are a lot of recycling depots all over New Zealand where numerous people sort through the paper, cardboard, plastic and glass that is brought to them and then sent to different places to be reused or recycled.   

We can all help our planet by starting recycling everything, from food scraps for compost to every last bit of plastic. Up here in the North we only recycle number 1 plastic and our milk bottles, all the other plastic ends up in the rubbish. We as a community should look into ways to recycle all our plastic.

We only have one earth so let's take care of it.

Covid-19 Level 2 Writing

WALT explain what the rules are at Level 2 and what we think about it.

What I think about the Level 2 of lockdown is a little excessive and a bit annoying because we cannot walk around in the class and sit by our friends.
In Level 2 you can’t touch other people unless their family. For Level 2 in Northland, New Zealand it is only going to last until maybe the weekend? We can not go as close as 5 cm to people, we have to stay 2 meters away from people we don’t know and 1 meter away from people we do know. You touch only the things you want to buy. Stay a meter away when defending in basketball at school for. Don’t touch people or try to touch them at school, at home it is fine. In Level 2 there are not allowed to be gatherings over one hundred. We were supposed to have a cross country on Thursday but because of Covid-19 it got postponed to a different date and our assembly was canceled to a different date too. Covid-19 is a pan because you can not play soccer, rugby or have gymnastic competition.

Describe a moment in time

WALT use descriptive vocabulary to describe a moment in time.

I did my plan while. I found doing two paragraphs tricky to do. I can extend myself by doing a bit beater with more sentences in my writing.

DESCRIBE A MOMENT IN TIME - Diving

WEEK 7 - WALT to hook our reader in with our first sentence.
WALT use descriptive vocabulary to describe a moment in time.

In the sparkling turquoise ocean, there is a brave diver searching for some kina.  sharp rocks are leading down to a dark and misty cave with a great white shark by the entrance of the cave.

TASK 2 - Mothers Day

WALT use precise words to write a description of our mum.

My mum’s hair is brown and long, and she ties it up. She is 1.68m long. She smells like strawberry perfume, and she gives me lots of cuddles and love. She makes me feel at home.

My mother likes to bake a cake and rusks. My mother likes to help us with our homework, she always packs our lunches and she makes dinner for us every night. She vacuums my room and my sister's room too. She is the nicest mum ever, sometimes she gets angry at me for not listening.

My mum and I like to bake, do homework, and do science with the family. We sometimes help with the laundry and to clean the house. She makes me feel so happy and helpful to the family.

Bee sting: lockdown

Bee sting: lockdown

It was about a week ago when my sister and I were playing outside climbing trees. I jumped off a tree
trying to run away from my sister. My dad mowed the lawn earlier that day. So, when I jumped off the
tree I landed on a dead bee. As soon as the bee stung me I knew not to walk on my foot so that the
poison doesn’t go into my foot.

I shouted out: ”Dad I got a bee sting!”. My dad took a sharp knife to remove the stinger, but it didn’t work.
My mum got my dad the tweezers and my dad got the stinger out by pinching the front end of the stinger
with the tweezers. 

I will not lie, I felt nervous about the bee sting and the poison. I relaxed after my dad removed the stinger.

I wanted to see how the stinger looked under the microscope. So my dad helped me and this is what we
saw. 

bike riding: lockdown

Bike riding: lock down

Two days ago my sister and I decided to ride our bikes. I did a few skids on my bike.  My dad lifted my sisters training wheels so she could learn how to ride a bike with two wheels.

While I was riding my bike on the grass, I managed to break the left side pedal. I  don’t know how it happened, but my dad fixed it. The next day my dad and mum took us for a ride on the street. It was amazing, because I could finally ride fast. I like to go outside with my bike. I felt good after riding my bike for about an hour.

Exercise is important, and riding my bike is exercising.
