If I was one of nine children

If I was one in nine children at tea time you wouldn't be able to get much food. If I was one in nine children I wouldn't be able to watch what I want on TV. If I was one in nine children it would be hard waiting to use the bathroom. If I was one in nine children I would always be late to school. If I was one in nine children I would probably wake up early to crying. If I was one in nine children It would be hard to get around.

My trip on a waka

Dear Jacob,


The first days on the waka was really scary. The waves crashed against the waka vigorously. You couldn't get a wink of sleep. I started to get really hungry, so I got the spear and started to spear. By Nightfall I had only gotten 2 fish. I devoured them. After another 50 days, I started to see land I got really nervous what would be there. If you get this that means I made it.

3 facts about Maui

  3 facts about Maui

Today we read about Maui's fish. Here are three interesting facts I discovered.
1.  He fished up the north island and his canoe became the south island
2.  He wove his fishing line out of flax and while he was weaving he sang a karakia to strengthen his line ( a karakia is a Maori prayer)
3. Maui's brothers thought he wasn't very good but when he fished up the north island they thought he was the best fisherman ever.

The other stories I know about Maui is Maui and the sun which is about where Maui gets the sun and makes it go slower. 

 

M&M's Experiment

WALT: write instructions.       I enjoyed finding the pictures.  It was challenging to find the right verbs

Patterns

WALT: create a repeating pattern using shapes and colour. I used orange and blue shapes. I enjoyed making patterns. \ To be BTB I could use more shapes.

What alliteration is

WALT: Teach others about alliteration.  Today I enjoyed finding the pictures for my google drawing.
 To make my work BTB, I could add a border around my words to make it stand out.

Tech Famine Reflection

On Monday and Tuesday there was a tech famine and at school, we played games like elastics and Knucklebones. In Knucklebones I couldn't get past the first level. We also had a handwriting competition, I don't think I will win. We went to the beach and Me and Harrison ran around talking to people. On Monday I went to Harrison's house and we played some board games and also played on the bikes. Do you think you would survive?

My Holiday

Last Saturday I went to the Crusaders vs Sharks in Christchurch with my mum and dad and my little cousin Boston. Before the game, we got some food and we got a picture in front of a Sam Whitelock poster. We found our seats and the game started. At halftime, this guy won 9 months worth of hellers products because he kicked the ball over the posts from 30 meters back. Then the game started again the Crusaders Won 40-10.

Voyage to New Zealand

Dear Matthew,

How are you? How is it going back at home? Anything exciting happened?

The ride's been very long so far. I can't wait to get to New Zealand. I'm feeling so excited because I can't wait to see what there is there. But I am a little bit nervous too. There could be lions. Or tigers. Or leopards!

The first thing I want to do when I get there is look at the scenery. I can see some land from here so we must be nearly there.

I'll write back to you when I get to the island.

From your mate,

Max
