On a coldest winter night there was a squirrel and his name was Tom. Just before winter beigain Tom searched for food to store for winter. He found some big and juicy berries on a berry bush while he was on his way back home. The problem was he couldn’t get to the berry bush because the big Elephant Joe was sleeping over the berry bush so he could not get any berries. 

So Tom stormed over to the big Elephant's ear and Yelled”Wake up!!” but he would not move. Tom felt really sad because he had to go with no food for winter and he started to sob. His loud cry caught the attention of Blake the Eagle Blake flew down from the high tree and asked politely ”What's wrong my friend?”. Tom says that the Elephant Joe won’t move so he couldn't get his berries for winter. Blake says” don’t worry ill get it!” So Blake swooped up and flew over Joe and plucked some berries, and gave them back to Tom. Tom felt so happy he thanked Blake and went back home with some juicy berries.

Self Assessment

I liked that I was able to choose my characters and write my own story.

I think I need to add more detail and be more expressive.

Scyther was green and red with strips of yellow and blue. He is four foot long with a little hand bag around his waist. He loves to dance and party. The concert was at Sun court Stadium in Brisbane the stadium was filled with lights and drink stands and loads of chairs and a hydraulic roof that can open and close. He was having so much fun he forgot about the lottery ticket in his bag and the lottery ticket fell out of his bag and was lost among all of the animals feet he screamed “Damn it I lost my ticket!!”.

First, he thought that he could start slither under people and try to find his ticket but then he thought he would be trampled by all of the animals feet so he stayed put and waited until he was the only one there he searched and searched until he saw his dirty and ripped in half ticket on the floor. He picked it up and then he saw the big screens turn on behind the bands equipment and the TV started to play tonight's lotto program he checked his numbers and waited for them to call out the numbers where 1 3 9 2 5 8. Sycthers ticket read the same numbers he bit himself to test if he was dreaming he was so excited he jumped up in joy. He was so excited that he had just won 3 Billion dollars. Then, he rushed to the nearest shop and got his lottery ticket checked in. He yelled,”Best weekend ever!”.

WALT: Describe how I’m feeling

Level 2 back to school

AT HOME

This morning I woke up at 6:00am with my dad yelling “happy birthday my Son!” because it was my birthday, I gave my dad a big hug. I got up in joy and tiredness because I don’t usually wake up at this time. I solely got changed and ran into the lodge. I saw my little sister watching cocomelon on the couch. She was so cute with her little dress. She screamed “Happy birthday Baba!” As  I sat down next to her. Just then my Mum arrived back from her long walk around the beach. I ran to my Mum and gave her a big hug, she wished me a happy birthday and she went to get changed. I said “Bye” to my Dad as he honked from his car, I ran to my room and swung my bag over my shoulder and headed outside with my mum and sister.

GETTING TO SCHOOL

When my mum dropped me off at the school drop off area and I saw my group of friends play on the field I grabbed my box full of cupcakes and  said goodbye to my mum and then rushed to my friends. They were playing Borderlands 2. I asked if we could play Valorant. After I dropped my cupcakes off at our class room they said “yes”. Just after we started playing Valorant the bell rang and sir our principal was taking on the intercom as we ran to our class room. Before we performed the Karakia and Mihi Sir said through the intercom that the school value for this week was Rereketanga. My friend Nico recited the karakia and Mihi did the Mihi we sang Te Aroha and Paparore.  Our class did some descriptive writing and then we went outside to play Golden Child .   Our team won.  I was super happy that we won the game. 

I felt so happy that I was able to go back home from school because I kept getting in trouble because I was talking way too much and disrupting my mates from their learning!. I was so happy I got to see my sister again.  We had a big celebration when we got home, celebrating my fabulous birthday!

Matariki

This is my Matariki slide show. Hope you like it.

 Reflection

I liked creating this slide because I was able to choose my own way of creating a slide show. I struggled because it took me loads of time to finish and create my slide, and feel happy about my final product. What do you think I should improve on next time?

MS What is... Descriptive writing

 30/06/21

WALT: Write a descriptive piece of poetry

What is Green?  The leaves are green.

They grow off  giant strong trees and itching bushes

What is yellow? The sun is yellow,

That glistens over the world, giving peaceful sunlight.

What is red? Cherries are red,

They sit perfectly on top of a delicious cake with lashing of whipped cream.

What is blue? Violets are blue,

They stand tall in the weeded garden.

What is white? Clouds are white,

They float over our world giving rain and water to give us life.

What is pink? Our hearts are pink,

They pump up our blood and keep us alive and strong.

Tree planting on Arbor day

 23/06/21

WALT:  Write an incredible Recount

Arbor day at Lake Ngatu.

Tuesday our whole school went to Lake Ngatu for Arbor Day.We started at 9:00am and we stopped planting at 12:00pm. We laid approximately 2000 plants like Harekeke, Manuka trees and Kanuka trees. I walked over to Lake Ngatu with my friends and It was a really cold day. I spotted rubbish everywhere I picked some of it up with my friends Nico,Hemi,Atama and Samson. 

When we arrived at the Lake we sat down and listened to sir and Mr Matthews give instructions. Then the teachers picked our groups that we planted with. In my group I had my friend  Nico, Tame from Te Tinana and Nico’s step sister Sophia. Nico’s Nan Ann was the adult with us and was the one who carried and dug with the spaid.

Ann and the other adults dug the holes so we could plant. Me and Nico carried some of the plants back to Tame and Sophia and then we started planting. You have to squeeze the outside and then pull it out. If it is still stuck you can kneel on it and then it comes out. Then you have to squeeze on the plant to loosen the roots so it can spread. Put it in the hole put some soil in and then you're done.

We’ve finished planting and there was this truck with people making sausage sizzles. Me and Nico rushed and got into line but the line was so long we had to wait 30 minutes. Finally I got one and walked and sat down next to Ann. The first bite of the sausage sizzle tasted so good. Nico said to Ann to hold his sausage sizzle while he went to get another one. I saw Ann eat some of his  sausage sizzle. When Nico got back he said ”Did anyone eat some sausage?” Ann said “No!” but it was evident that she was not telling the truth!

 We all packed up and started to walk back to school. To thank the teachers and adults we made a long walk- way so that the parent helpers could walk through the walk-way.  We chanted the parent helpers names, clapping until they had walked through. After that we walked back to school, to our classrooms.
