My Holiday

In the first week of the holidays I went to Auckland to pick up my niece's at Tukau.  On Tuesday we went to the movies to watch the new movie called Joker. After that we went to Snow Planet and had heaps of fun. When we got there it reminded me of our year 7 and 8 Ski camp this year. After that we came back to Kawakawa. On Wednesday we went out for the the day at the beach we went out there to pick pipi's and cockles. After that we went home and cooked us a mean as kai of pipi's.

The next week we had TRPMOK training all week. We started on Monday and Tuesday at 9:00 and finished at 3:00. From Wednesday to Friday. On Sunday I had to clean up outside and mow the lawn and stuff then I got shouted a feed.

Mt Chiliad

One day I woke up and thought I would want to climb this really high mountain called Mt Chiliad. I have seen millions of people going for a hike on the mountain I never would of wanted to climb it cause everyday its hot on Chiliad. Until this day I've got my gears ready last night so I will be able to start first thing in the morning. Now as I make my way up the mountain I see public motorbikes but you need to pay to ride them. By that time I wish I had money but I had already made it up a quarter of the mountain. So I carried on following the track it took 2 more hours to get halfway up the mountain. When I got up halfway I found this shop and I was like aye I never knew there was shops up here. Next thing I find a 5 dollar on the ground then I'm like choice. 3 HOURS LATER... I finally got to the top and I found this rope that leads across to the other side on the other side there's a shop and everything is for free. I tried my hardest to make it across to the other side. Halfway across I fell but caught the rope. I carried on then finally made it there was heaps of cold drinks food and a motorbike to go all the way back down

The visitors from the manaiakalani clan

Today we welcome visitors from the Manaiakalani schools in Auckland.

The whole school welcomed them with a powhiri. They gave koha which was 

exciting. Then after that the Kaiarahi was allowed to show them around the school.

I was so proud to show them our school but it was pretty embarrassing saying

my pepeha in front of all the principals. 

The land of ice

The land of ice.

One morning I woke up and it was so freezing I didn't wanna get outta bed. So I got up and kept my blanket on and everything I touched was so freezing. I didn't bother looking outside because I knew it was already gonna be even more freezing. Before I started making breakfast I'd thought I should might as well just put some warm cloths on so I did. After that I cooked me some nice warm breakfast so I can warm my body up. All I had was some nice steak and eggs with spaghetti beautiful. When I finished I wanted to go do some shopping so I chucked some warm gears on to go for a walk to new world. As soon as I touched the door nob it was so freezing even though I had my gloves on. I haven't seen the outside of my house this morning cause I couldn't be bothered opening the certain's. So as soon as I opened the door everything was ice the Ice was everywhere. I looked over my neighbors house even his car had ice on it the ice even popped his tire lol. When I finished shopping I went back home and jumped in my spa then this happened. I woke up and it was all a dream. I looked outside and it was sunny as.

Room 6 Rocket Test Launch

This is our wonder project test launch. On the first day of our wonder project
we had a man called Pete come into our class and teach us about rockets. He
told us all about what a rocket should have and not have. The next week he
came in he told us everything about the safety rules around a rocket/bottle rocket.
The next week we all had to bring some 1.5 litre bottles to start making our rocket.
We made our rockets out of 1.5 litre bottles, Cardboard for the fins and ice cream
lids for the fins. A few weeks later we did some test flights with our rockets then
this is the results. This isn't all of them sadly our one wasn't in this because our
one went the highest lol.

Weekly 3

My holidays

In the first week of the holidays I had to do Kapa Haka practice with Te Rau Pou Manawa O Kawakawa. We had do to practice from Monday to Friday 9:am to 3:pm. We learnt whakawatea and a waiata tira for nationals down in the Waikato region. On Friday night after Kapa Haka me and my dad left down to Auckland to go visit my brothers and sisters. We ended up staying in Auckland the night then stayed at Pukekohe the next few nights then stayed down the line at Waihi beach for like five days. After that we just came back home and just started kicking back till school starts again.

Te Reo week 7

This term we been learning our Te Reo with Whaea Whetu. I think its been fun doing these lessons in class.

My weekend

In the weekends on Saturday we had a game of soccer up at Bay of Islands College. We versed this team from Kerikeri but I forgot there name. Anyways the first half was pretty intense we manged to block all there goals and they blocked all our goals. In the second half they scored 2 goals but in the last minute I managed to score a corner goal. In the end they still won by 1 nil but I think it was a pretty alright game for me. On Sunday I went with my cousin Pardrae to Simpson park to do some Kapa Haka we had to recap on all the haka's he taught us in the past year. After that we had a feed then went outside to play some touch. We saw these kids riding on there motorbikes and they crashing into each other on purpose. Then I scored a few tries in touch then we finished off and then went home.

Waitangi project

Last week on Thursday we did a project called Raranga Matihiko. Whaea Keri and Whaea Imogen came and taught our class how to yous this site called scratch. I reckon it's a pretty all goods site to use. They also came and showed us this game when you have a mover and a person who tells you where to move to next. What you need is a checkered mat but not to big some triangle blocks that are about the size of your arm and some playing cards. The point of the game was to put the cards in a square on the mat faced down and try to get your block to one of the cards. If you get the number 10 card you win and if you also have the less moves to your card. Anyways we got to on paint 3D to make a  background for our scratch. Then we took a photo on the green screen then added it to our scratch. After that me and Qaiden made our scratch about ANZAC And yeah that's mostly all we did on Thursday so yeah.

Free writing.

In the weekend my nephew Freeman came down for a visit. It was the first time I seen him in like a year now. But sadly he was only down here for 2 days but it was worth it. I can't believe how much he's grown since the last time I seen him. He came down with boxes with loads of food in them. We mostly just kicked back playing games like 24/7. He also shouted me and him some butter chicken and pizza. But sadly that day he had to go back to his course but It was a fun time with him back in town.

Christchurch

Together we stand strong.

The muslims were inside praying they didn't know what was coming.
The man walks in with his gun and shoots them until there's none.
 That was one of New Zealand's darkest days I couldn't picture ending
these ways. All over facebook yeah something went wrong.
How could one man have so much hate 49 + people shot dead and
gone where is humanitywhere has it gone.
He left christchurch with a mark that would never go away.
That why we all need to stand for long so
together we stand strong.
