Matariki fun day

                            MATARIKI
On Friday the 26 of June our school had a big matariki fun day. There was 3 different choices we could choose one was Cooking, the second one was Arts and crafts, and the last one was sports. We celebrate matariki because it was a time for remembering the dead, and celebrating new years.

The matariki fun day at our school I was in sport's we were playing ki o rahi it was a Maori game. New Zealand should celebrate this because this country is where Maori lived first and we should support them. 

I was so happy when I played it because it was interesting and it was a easy game to learn. We should do this like 2 days a week, so our teachers that supervises us can learn what kind of talent we have. So 
we learn more and more things 2 days a week and show our
families what talent we learnt and what we can do.

THE LOST HUNTER

Once upon a time there was a lady who was going out hunting. Her name was the catalyst. She looked so scary and freaky when she went out hunting she packed her bag, put her hunting rifle on her backpack then took off in her car. Once she got there she was not even scared she'd been hunting with her dad when she was 8 but 2 years later her dad passed away. But her dad had shown her lots of thing and told her lots of things to but he said never have fear there will always be someone there for you. 

It was so snowy she couldn't even see then once the snow stopped she didn't know where she was. She tried calling her family but there was no signal she tried everything she had but nothing worked but she remembered her dad said follow your steps through the snow then she saw a bit of her foot prints she tried following it but when she knew it it wasn't her footprints it was a small looking like a wolf’s footprint.

She knew what was coming. She tried running looking for help but there was know one. So there it was the wolf right behind her she didn't have time to run, not even take a step or look behind. But she saw this other thing she couldn't even recognize it but she was that thing holding a gun. That thing she didn't know shot his gun she saw the bullet coming towards the wolf then that thing came to her and told her his name in her mind she said he looks so handsome but his name was Arthur.

He took her to his camping place then made her a hot warm nice sweet coffee she kept on saying thank you thank you but he got annoyed with it and told her it’s alright so he graped his phone and told her to ring someone to pick you up. It's not safe here. Catalyst asked him how did you find me. He said he already knew what was happening. He could hear the wolf and he saw the wolf on his way for work. Catalyst asked what do you work for he said I’m a hunter so she told her the story about her hunting. Then she asked him if they could be hunting buddies and there it was just like that. And every Monday, wednesday, friday and saturday they suddenly became best friends. So she went in a happy mood home. But she was already late for dinner THE END.

Friday Assembly

 

 On Friday I thought our school assembly was gonna be a normal assembly but this awesome looking cool man named Joseph Parker we saw sitting down in front of the stage on the chairs with his sister.

It was longer and it was surprising because everyone always wanted to see him.

What I learnt when he was saying his speech is that he said nothing beats hard work and believe in yourself.

If I had a chance to ask him something I would like to ask him how long have you been boxing for.

My message to you is that I wish you come back to my school and this is not the first and last we see you. I give you all the best and luck for your next match and for the rest of your happy and fun life.

Dragon World (Narrative Writing)

This is what I wrote recent when I did my narrative writing

One day it was 3:40 Saturday evening there were 3 named Kohatu, Jezakaia and Zane were going to a place called Dragon world with real dragons. When they left they stepped into the dragon world they already were scared because they could hear dragons roaring so they paid to go in then the instructor gave each one of them a dragon the dragons were called Devontae, Leonidas and paschal. When they were walking their dragons to the playing room their dragons flew away and that was a big problem. The dragon was flying so high that the instructor couldn't even see them. So when the dragon was flying Jezakaia, Zane and kohatu were slipping off their dragons and crying as loud as they could.

When they were slipping, Kohatu and Jezakaia and Zane were telling each other that if one of us survives, tell my family I love them. Suddenly they all slipped, they were screaming, they thought they were gonna die. But when they were falling the inspector came beneath them and caught them with his dragon and that's what saved Jezakaia, Kohatu and Zane the inspector told the dragon to take them to land the dragon went and flew fast as and once they were on land Kohatu, Jezakaia and Zane was crying and saying thank you at the same time.  

So when they were walking home they were still crying because they didn't even have the chance to sit on the dragon and the other reason is because they will be grounded. but after all that they will never go back again. They told their parents and they were grounded for 2 weeks because they could have died.

Why do we do Mihi, Karakia and Himene

Today Mrs Tele's challenged us as to why we have to d oout mihi, karakia and himene.

We pray because we always have to praise the lord for giving us another chance.

We do our mihi because it makes us think about our ancestors and family and its wakes our body and brain.

We do a Himene because it helps us to not sing to our toes it helps us to sing up and not be shy to sing and to stand up in front of lots of people.

These are a list of some of my class answered to Mrs Tele's challenge

*Connect to god, greater power ssource

*Connect- remember our ancestors, whanau

*kwon where we are from

*Build confidence to speak and represent ourselves and whanau

*To be ready for our day / future of learning

So today we watched a short video of hannah in our class doing a yoga move. She told us how to do her move she chosed and she told us instrucstions.

me and my friend Jezakaia tryed the yoga move and before we did it we were telling each other what we should do and here are the list of 3 that will help you: 

1.Reseting our mind.

2. focus with our mind

3. dont get distracted 

we tryed lots of time but we keept on getting distracted and we wernt focusing.  

1. First, try holding the yoga tree pose for one minute, with your eyes closed.

2. Now, try holding the yoga tree pose (stand on one foot, other foot on knee) for one minute with you eyes open

Could you keep your balance

Taha Whanau

This morning I watched a little short video with my class the video was about kahurangi playing a game with his little sister. his game was about Taha Whanau kahurangi and his sister was having a race to see who could get to the other side of the board game.

During the lockdown I play basket ball with my little brother named Moimoi me and him was having a battle to see who could get 5 point's first. Me and him had a graet game with each other but the thing was that my little brother won the game.

   

                         Play a game with someone in your whanau bubble.

Explain the rules of the game you played.

Who won? Who lost? Was it a draw?

Was it fun? Was it competitive?
