our Legacy learning

The past few weeks we have been Learning about positive and negative Legacy people have left behind, I did Kingi Tawhiao  I really enjoyed doing this work, here's one of the  slides i worked .

experience of Te Rau Pou Manawa kpa haka

Wednesday the 6 of November  a group of us travelled down to support  Te Rau Pou Manawa. When I first walked in all I saw was the big stage. We walked up the the big stairs right to the top we climbed. When they  walked on I had goosebumps knowing that they were going to be good, as Tamarah walked on stage I yelled in my biggest voice go Tamarah! I was proud of all of my friends on stage. When they started singing  their first item I had tears in my eyes  because of how proud I felt.  After their performance we waited outside  to  haka tautoko them so they would know how proud of them we are. I saw  tears  in my  friends eyes when we were doing the haka. That was the best experience of my life.
Here are a few photos of our trip.

Matariki

 Last week Wednesday started to  prepare  the hangi for Matariki day it was really fun I learnt how to cut onions properly into fine peaces, the easy part was cutting the potato and kumara,  the hard part was trying not to cry when I was cutting the onions, my next step will be to not to cut myself, but I really enjoy doing my job,  then we finally got to eat our hangi at the end and that how we celebrated our Matariki.

persuasive writing

Today day I  learnt the structure of persuasive writing, and wrote down a list of reasons for why we shouldn't have a animal as a  pet, I also learn how to write reasons and to back it up with a example, and how to have a opinion.   

Angels

This week we have been learning about angels, I think that I'm going good but i cloud do better, the easy part was drawing the line and the centre point, the hard part was trying to  get as much different angels, we also learnt some names for angels if it is less than 90* then it called acute and if it more then 90* and  less than 180* then it called obtuse. I found this learning really interesting to do but next time I'm gonna focus so I know more about angels.    

Thunder & Lightning

The last past few week we have been learning how to write a narrative my hard was my plan because i had to many option to pick from, my easy part was to bring my imaginary to life, my next step will be to add better language to my writing.

Thunder & Lightning

In a small sleepy town, down the hollow street there is  blue house, with a golden cat looking at the vivid sunshine, coming from the sky. Down the steps hearing a cat  meowing fiercely I pick it up,’’oh here you are you tricky cat, I have you been looking for you, where have you been? ‘’ I sit down and play with Tom.

A big storm seems to be heading this way. I check the forecast and it seems to be 20:00 minutes away, I think to myself we could go back  inside and rap up in a cosy,cushion blanket, or we stay out here for little bit. Sitting there with all the minutes flying past like flash running for victory, I check the time I holler  ‘’ 1:00 minutes left till the storm gets here’’ I pick myself up, flying up the stairs.

Suddenly lightning strikes the tree, the thunder BOOMS!, vibrating the windows shattering them into shards. I rush under the table role into a ball. BOOM! BANG! CRASH! The house tumbles down like rain dancing and tumbling from the sky, I hear everything falling from the wall. I get out from under the table, rush to my bedroom, slam on the brakes, ‘’Tom’’ I holler I look to the left, look to the right, see before my eyes Tom crushed under the big wall POOR TOM.

Orientation

This week I have been learning about narrative  but first we learnt how to write a orientation and our task was to write  about you turning into a cat,dog, the  hard part for me was trying to explain how i turn into a dog,   the easy part was doing my planing  and adding were it set place, my next step will be to go more deeper into my imaginations and to explain more detail.
