Glowworm Cave

On the twenty-forth of July my family that includes my uncle and aunty went to the Waitomo glowworm caves. When we all got to the caves, my dad and I told my uncle that he had a flat tyre but no matter how many times we said, "Your tyre is flat!" He kept on saying, "What are you taking about my tyre looks fine." We all went to buy some tickets and took a family photo in front of the sign. After we got the tickets we bought some hot chocolate at the cafe. After we drank our hot chocolate we waited for our tour guide. When he came he asked everyone for their tickets and took two photos of every family. The tour guide told us the history about the caves. When we got to the caves entrance the tour guide said, "We should all get our feelings out now because the cave inside is so white and the oil on our skin turns the white walls of the cave black." When we entered the cave my uncle almost had to crawl on the ground, because he is too tall. After walking down a lot of stairs, we came to the middle of the cave, it is called the cathedral. In the cathedral the tour guide showed us some of the webs that surround the glowworms. We walked down a few more stairs, at the bottom of the stairs were two boats waiting for us. One group set of in the one boat then we set of in the other boat. It was amazing to see the glowworms, some of them looked like the southern cross. When we got out of the boat we walked through the cafe and into the gift shop where I bought a wooden light box that has four kiwis on the front and back of the light box and people rowing in a boat on the left, right and top sides of the light box. It was a great day.

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.
