Matariki

 

I liked creating this slide because it was challenging to do the animation and making the slides.

I struggled because it was hard to make the hills, stars and put everything in place.

What do you think I should improve on next time?   

Mt Ruapehu

On the last day of our family vacation we went to see Mt Ruapehu at the place called Whakapapa ski-field. When we got there we took a photo in front of the sign that said "Whakapapa". After we took the photo my sister, my dad and me threw snow balls at each other, I hit my sister and dad three or more times, they hit me too. We then had some hot chocolate. We went down an elevator to go on the sleds but first had to listen to  some rules, if there was anybody on the track you were not allowed to go down the track, and there was a magic carpet ( aka a moving carpet) to take you back to the top, but if you use the carpet you have to go on it fast and get of it fast otherwise it will stop moving, my sister made it stop and so did my mum. Before we got back on the bus we played in some snow that where behind some buildings. I climbed the hill to the highest point and slide down it again and while I was up there people where building a wall made out of snow and they asked me if I wanted to help them. I got a lot of snow from the top of the hill for the wall, meanwhile down at the bottom of the hill my family were making a snowman. After a little while we had to get back on the bus, so I slide down the hill super fast. My sister and and i took a photo with the snow man just before we left.

Arbor Day

  

Arbor Day Tree planting

23/6/21

WALT: write an Incredible Recount 

On Tuesday our class went to Lake Ngatu at nine AM we were all walking to . It took the school a few minutes to reach Lake Ngatu, when we got there Cleo and Dony did karakia and Mihi. We went to plant some trees around the lake to help it to stay clean.

After  we had a korero about the planting we got put into our groups, my group was Daniёlle, my mum Janene, Tyson and Jacob. Our group planted sixty or seventy flax, Manuka trees and Kanuka trees. 

Jacob and I got the plants, Tyson Parker and my sister planted them and my mum dug most of the holes. Jacob and I planted some plants. The mud was mushy and soft.  Jacob’s hand’s were really, really dirty just like my hand’s. The mud was a bit fun to play in.

When  Arbor Day was completed we went back to school, while we were  almost at school we made a tunnel and gave the parents a mighty pakipaki. Then when we were on the field the lunch bell rang and we had a bit of lunch and play time for the end of the day. It was an amazing day but it also a fraction of it felt like a field trip to the lake.

My Pet

 My cat Lexi is the best, she always wants love all day everyday.  She is black, white  and brown with sparkling eyes.  She is the best company  to  have around when you're feeling down.  

She is as cuddly as an ice bear.  Lexi always comes up to me when me and my sister are playing outside on the trampoline.  Or when I'm feeling sad she cuddles up to me or lets me pick her up and carry her around the house.  

We got her in the first year that we lived in Northland.  It looked like she was only a few weeks old.  This was in the morning on our way to school but she had fleas so dad said, “Let's see if she stays overnight and if she is still there in the morning then we will give her a bath and  keep her.”  We went to sleep,  that morning she was still there and we fed her and gave her water.  Lexi is as smart as an elephant. 

 My cat is fast when she is hunting  for mice or birds.  She runs super fast and when the mouse or bird gets away  she runs after it so fast that sometimes the animal does not  get very far before she catches them.  Sometimes she plays with her food before eating it. 

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.    

my elders taught me to...

 Kia Ora, my name is  Edmon and today I’m going to tell you about what my mum and dad taught me in life. They taught m e integrity, respect,  excellence and manners. They showed m e how to b e honest and trustworthy. It's important to respect yourself and your friends as well as your parents and teachers. They taught me to set learning goals for myself, for  example doing hard maths and to read chapter books that are complicated. To do writing that takes about a w e ek and two days to finish and it has to have  descriptives ent enc es. It is fun challenging myself. They taught m e to never give up and keep on trying. “Thank you” and “please” are small words, but they are super important.  Remember to use your manners wherever you go. My elders taught m e to love and care for  everything that I have and  everyone that is part of my family or friends. They also taught m e to think for myself and just get on with it and don’t get distracted or you will do it wrong. My elders taught m e to clean up after myself and clean up after other people  if they made a mess, in other words, to care for my  environment My dad also taught m e to play rugby, soccer, cricket and how to use a bow and arrow. I train  every chance elget. We have an old surfboard that I shoot at with my  arrows. There are a lot of holmes and some of them are made by my dad's gun and my gun. It is really fun shooting. One day I hope my dad and I can go hunting with a bow and arrow. My dad also taught me a lot about science and w e do science experiments in the school holidays. It is fun seeing the chemical reaction that the ingredients make when they mix. He also showed me how to do computer programming, but I still have a looooooooong way to go. These are just a few of the things that my parents taught me.  I am very lucky to have parents and teachers to teach m e  everything I need to know.  I love learning new things and are very grateful for all the things I already have.
