This is my Maori Poem that I have created with no help. It was a tasks that we got given because it was all about our school inquiry topic (Celebrations).

Here is my Cultural Poem:

The Maori flag sits high in the sky, waving around and saying hi,
Our Maori flag flies higher than the rest, but everyone know’s Maori’s are the best,

My maori race, I will not disgrace
Because we are here to win this place,
The maori clothes is what we wear, to show that we all have no fear,

I sit here as a Maori with happiness and pride, but there is usually nothing to hide,
A waiata and haka is what we sing, to know that we aren’t always the bling,

But taste our food because it will change your mood,
My Maori pride is my mind, but my Maori blood is my kind,

Thank You, Goodbye.

I really hope you enjoyed reading my poem I have come up with.

Food and Treats

Today in this block, we had got given a book to read with a buddy in Room 6. The book we got given was Food and Treats and the book was full of heaps of ideas but here is the things we had read about in the book.

  • Hundreds And Thousands
  • Whipped Cream
  • Dessert Jelly
  • Soft Drinks
  • And Chocolate & Chip Cookies
The thing that was mostly important in the book was How hundreds and thousands were made, How dessert jelly goes wobbly and How you melt the butter to make the cookie chewier. The book was really interesting to read because we found out things we didn't even know but now that we had read the book, we know what the special things are in food and treats. Everyone has a favourite food treat but I wonder what is the science behind making them ??. In the book, a food manufacturer opens doors to reveal some of the secrets behind making these popular and yummy treats. But in this book, you will learn the difference between natural and processed sugar and how you can eat sweet food. From my point of view, don't eat too much sweets because it is not healthy for you.
My buddies point of view : Don't eat too much lollies because it is not good for your teeth

Here is a image of the book we have read !!!

















Here is a photo of me and my buddy !!!

Kiwi Can

Last Week for Kiwi Can we played a game called noodle soccer for this game we used those noodles you use for swimming to smack the ball into the other teams goal. Our team won because the other team kept on cheating because they were using there foot to blocking the goal so whenever they did that the point went to my team. Also we had to do our activity and that was making up a chant for our class and the boys made up one and it was just like juju on that beat but they changed some of the words I thought that there's was really cool because they did like a cool dance and yeah. We also had to write down on a paper of what responsibility means and then share it with the class.

FIrst you have to get the ingredients which is starch and sugar then it goes through a machine which adds powder like icing sugar and then the dry ingredients get put in a machine that coats them in a rotating pan then it sieves them into 8 different machines they then colour all the containers different colours then they are dried in a heat room and there ready to get shipped off. This book was really about Chocolate Chip Cookies, Whipped Cream and Jelly

Practice Narrative

This is my story that I had did for my practice narrative test. It was a really good session doing it but I really hope you enjoy reading my entertaining story I had created. Here it is

She loves to write stories and make them come alive but this is only the beginning.
She falls asleep and wakes up in the middle of a old and horror looking forest.
Why is she there? How did she get there? Is she dreaming? I ask myself, Well as you can see I am going to introduce you to my character (Diamond).

It was a very long day for Diamond, with all of these jobs she had to do such as doing chores, walking to the supermarket and helping her family out with things but as you know everyone hates doing things like that. Diamond is a young, generous and beautiful girl with really strict parents. They didn’t usually let her do what she wanted but that’s what her life was like. She was really busy, she didn’t get to eat that much of the day but she was really helpful and did what her parents needed. Sometimes her parents pissed her off and she didn’t listen to them but at some point she would just forgive them and help them out. It was the end of the day and after all that she went to eat her dinner and off to her room she started writing stories. She really loved writing stories and she had one of her favourite stories she loved to read and it was called “The Unknown Forest” and it was a true story that had actually happened to her. It is all about a forest that no one had heard or seen before but off she began reading her true story…


Was it a dream? Did it actually happen? And Why choose me? I asked myself. I was sleeping and suddenly I wake up in the middle of a strange and ugly forest. I don’t know why and how I got there but I took my time to take a look around and see if it was real… “It was real” I said to myself but I was wearing my dad’s favourite jumper, the red hoodie and I was wearing a white dress with black shoes and holding a basket. I sped like a cheetah as I am scared to go further but I see two children, (Ricky and Nicole) all alone in the dark, freezing to death and I ask them “Are you alright” then they staunch me out and say with anger and a devil voice, Why are you here? Go home right now. You are not safe here… I was so frightened and I didn’t know what to do so I ran like a bull seeing the colour red. There were four ways to go and I couldn’t choose but my mum said “always stick to the middle” so I took the middle way and it led me to a big and random shed. I had a weird feeling that someone or something was watching me so I turned around and saw was a dragon behind the shed wanting help. The dragon looked so sick, useless and weak then I go over to help it. I stayed with it for about 2 weeks, then the dragon was happy and hugged me a thank you and goodbye. I was so proud and happy but then I carried on walking to find my way out.

I heard weird and scary singing, there were a bunch of people praying for the devil as I could see with my own eyes but at the back of them were hostages. I make a plan before saving the hostages. I walk back with no glance at the back and “SNAP” the tree breaks. The group stares at me as if I was their prey and off I run. The forest was getting darker and darker as I was running towards the light and “BANG” I trip up. It was a moving tree trying to help me hide but I thanked the tree for helping me. “My name is Diamond” What’s your name? I asked the tree, “My name is Chance and I have been turned into a tree from the Soul Mates” What’s the soul mates? I asked Chance, Well they are a group of people who makes you there slave and turns you into animals or trees if you don’t obey them.
The soulmates are the horror to the trees nightmares.His hands were as big as god trying to keep me.

“You are lucky I saved you” the tree said, I replied with a “thank you now can you put me down” so Chance put me back onto the ground and off I went to start my plan. First of all I had to distract them onto the other side and second, I had to save the hostages. As fast as I could, I saved all the villages but as I tried to leave the soul mates surrounded me and locked me up. “ARGH” I screamed as loud as possible, “HELP ME” but no sound was to be heard besides my echo in the darkness. I wanted to go back home but I couldn’t find a way. The soul mates kept me in there for so long I could barely talk and walk. I needed a drink and food to eat but no one was there to rescue me.

What will happen next? Why are they doing this? I kept asking myself. Then 2 days later the group of hostages helped me out and even a dead ghost cat. I cried because they had helped me but I asked them “Can you help me find a way home” they replied with a “yes we can, follow me” as I followed them they lead me to a secret door called the, hidden Door and it took me back home. I suddenly woke up and I kissed my parents with a “I love use and I am not leaving use anymore” they laughed and replied “Honey it’s only early in the morning” and I found out that it was all a dream.” I wish I never ever will dream like that but at some parts of my dreams, the hostages would always talk to me and keep me company while I sleep”. I had peaceful dreams.

The end.

Reading - The year the world changed

WALT reflect on what we had read about...

I had read a book about the year the world changed... It was a book about what year the world changed and it was 1913. One hundred years ago, the world was on the verge of many momentous changes. Technology, Society, Travel and the arts were about to be transformed. In the century since 1913, the world has seen more changes occurring at a faster pace than ever before. Who know's what the next 100 years will bring ?? One thing is certain that there will be even more dramatic changes in the ways we lead our lives. Right now in our years there will still be different changes happening in our lives. Technology will still be around, Internet will still be around, Electronics will still be around and all the things that are living here with us right now will still be around in the late 3015.

This book was very interesting for me to read and I really enjoyed reading about it. It is called "The year the world changed". I would say that you could read this book but I hoped you enjoyed reading my summary about this book.

What I think of Tamaki so far !!!

WALT reflect on what makes Tamaki special to me...

Today we got put in a group to discuss, What makes Tamaki special ?? and How can we make Tamaki a better place ?? It was a really good group discussion but I am going to use my own ideas...

What makes Tamaki Special ??
To me, Tamaki is so special because it is a school filled with mixed cultures and different things you could do. Tamaki Primary is a school that you can do lots of things and the importances of Tamaki is that we got our own school values and they are Manaakitanga, Whanaungatanga, Rangimarie, Tukumarie and Ako. Here is a list of things that I think makes Tamaki so special...

  • New School Uniform
  • School Values
  • Student Councillors
  • Teachers
  • Sports
  • Kiwi Can
  • Kiwi Sport
  • Basketball Hoop
  • Meetings
  • Board Of Trustees
  • School Trips
  • And many more...
How can we make Tamaki a better place ??
I think there are many things that we can make Tamaki a better place but to me there are only like 11 things on my mind that I think will make Tamaki a better place. Here is list I think can make Tamaki a better place...
  • No tagging on our school building
  • No vandalising our school equipment
  • More classrooms
  • A senior park
  • Longer and Wider hallways
  • More P.E equipment
  • Heaps of security cameras
  • More helping hands
  • Doing your best
  • Never giving up
  • Learn from your mistakes
I hope you have enjoyed what I think of Tamaki so far but have a good day...

Celebrations


WALT list down some of the things we do in a celebration

All I think of when I hear the word celebration is having fun, enjoying time, getting along and spending time with your friends or family. Celebrations can be known as Birthdays, Family Meetings, Graduation, Honey moons and many more but there is only one thing people love to do, a birthday party. Have you been to a birthday party before? What do you hear at a celebration? And why does celebrations happen?... To me I think celebrating is like showing respect to someone on their special something and a celebration is a day where kids get heaps of food while their parents are outside drinking and having a peaceful day. The only thing kids want on a celebration is munchies and presents but that’s what happens when you have your own special day.
This is the topic to our school learning for term 4 at TPS.

Here is my work of the list we do in a celebration

Thank you for reading my presentation...

Holidays!!!

WALT create a poem about our favourite thing in the holiday

Here is my poem that I had made about what my favourite thing was in the holidays. I had did alot of things in the holiday but going to the movies to watch Nerve was the best thing I did.

Going to sylvia to watch a movie,
Nerve,
With two of my friends


The feeling of excitement, horror and butterflies in my stomach as I begin to stare at the screen,
I touch coldness on the couch as if it was true,


It is a movie full of scary and dreadful dares,
Dave Does The Dares


The screen is SHAKING side by side as the movie is playing,
A squad hiding their faces with masks that are known as anonymous,


Gun shots as the game carries on,
Argghhh !!!

Are you a watcher or a player?

Get Firewise



Today I had created a firewise poster on how to keep safe around fire.Some people had passed away during fire in their house and some fires start by leaving food on in the kitchen and leaving lighters and matches around so the little kids can play with them.You need to be careful around fire because you can either get deep fire skin burns and you can die.Be safe around fire and get down, get out and get firewise.
