Moment in time

After school Joe and Rick went to the park because it was a sunny day.  They went with 7 other friends to play soccer and to have fun.  When they got there saw birds and trees moving fast.  They could hear kids yelling as loud as an ape in it’s cage, parents telling their kids to come down, and kids running to the park like dogs trying to chase someone.

After a game of soccer their mum and dad were trying to look for them.  They walked  briskly to school because it was hot and they wanted to get a drink from the fountain. They walked to the teacher and the teacher said “ they’re not here so they walked to the park because it was a sunny day then they saw them.  They said to him you play like cristiano ronaldo.  

Their mum said to them you can’t skip school for 20 years i’m going to drop you off and tell the teacher that you’re here.  They said you’re like a cat running away from school that you’re never allowed to skip again said dad.  So mum said that if you want to play soccer go to school and play dad agreed.

Matariki Reflections

Matariki is a time for re reflection.  yesterday with Whaea Toni we took the time to reflect on our year and set a new goal.here is a goal i set:

We made a Matariki star. We used our algebraic thinking. We had a pattern to follow: 1,2 and down 1 up we repeated this pattern until we got the star.

Matariki celebration

Manu tukutuku

Matariki happens in June it happens in the first week.  We celebrate Matariki by doing nice things like playing with knucklebones,  doing pukana challenges and making kites.   Matariki is a special celebration.  Matariki are the  seven stars or seven sisters.   We made kites because it was a Matariki celebration and it's a māori new year.   

We made kites and this is how we made them.  We made kites out of flax, wool, toetoe, and a roller.  We measured the toetoe with a roller and it was 117 cm long.   Then we had to do a speech for miss hills to video.  We instructed Miss Hills to cut the toetoe into three groups so we can do our kite.  We started getting wool to tie up the toetoe so it can stay still. We had to go over and under for it to stick we spread the toetoe out so we can tie it.  I was holding the sides of the toetoe so Sonia can tie it up. Then we got more wool and measured it with a roller so we know where to cut it.  Then we used our fingers to criss cross and go under all the way to the top.  We had to do it three times because we had three sticks sticking out.    We had to do it three times to stick the flax on then Miss Hills cut out a triangle to stick and do our patterns on.  We used the hot glue gun to stick on the kite.  The hardest  part was when we tied it up and the easiest part was when we drew our patterns and stuck it on.   

Matariki...

This week me and my group have been learning about matariki here is a picture i drew to show my understanding.  When Matariki comes up you will see i shine brightly in the sky.  There are seven stars that you will see.  I have drawn matariki patterns and matariki stars so they know what im talking about.

Dear jax

Thank you for coming to our school and performing opera.

My most favorite part was when you were talking singing.  I really liked it when Nemo was laughing.  The singers were cool and funny.  I really liked it when the famous guy came out in a armour,
