Empowerment

 Today Whaea Donna taught us what to do when an unkind comment or email comes up on your device. We each had to copy a slide then do a little bit of things that you know already, then we had to add a picture of yourself and add it to our slide that we copied. This is what they look like. 

Bubble Art

 The N on my drawing tell's you that I watched Netflix. The beach represents my favourite beach that my whanau went to during lockdown, the little white cat represents my cat called Loki, the picture of the other cat and the bird represents my other pets, the cat on the cage is called Zoe and the bird in the cage is called Joejo. Thank-you to Whaea Donna for helping me with my bubble art. 

LJ L2 Back To School

WALT describe how I’m feeling

Level 2 - Back to school

Getting Out Of Bed

This morning I woke up with a beam of morning light coming at my bed as I slowly got up moaning and groaning until I remembered that it was the day I could finally go back to school. YAY!! I woke up feeling like I had a lot of energy to do my morning jobs, but it turned out that I was not very energetic that morning. I jumped out of bed so excited, then I got dressed as slow as a tortoise in a race with a cheetah. 

Going To School

As soon as I threw my bag over my shoulder, I raced out the door, slipped my shoes on and ran to the car yelling “I’m finally at school again!!” Once my mum dropped me off at school I trotted slowly past all the classes and happily said “Good morning.” to Mrs Windelborn and Whaea Kim, then I saw Mihi and Skyla playing and talking in the gazebo. As soon as I had a look at who they were I ran to them with my arm’s wide open ready to hug them and I screamed out “I missed you so much!” Mihi did that too and then when we came close Mihi stuck out her elbow instead of the hug. I got really confused when Mihi put her elbow out so I had a little pause and then I found out that Mihi was elbowing me because covid is around and no one can hug their friends, which seems like nothing has changed but when you experience it, it feels like it’s the end of the world not being able to give your friends a big fat hug. After saying “Hi!” and “I missed you guys so much!!” Mihi, Skyla and I thought of playing busted with the grass being the safe place. I would say that I am not a professional at that game but I think I did good. 

My Day At School

After saying “Hi.” to everyone I walked past, I all of a sudden heard the bell ring for learning to begin. When I walked into the classroom my teacher, Mrs Jujnovich greeted every child one by one to check how many people were here at school today. After Mrs Jujnovich greeted everyone, my class listened to what Sir had to say through the intercom. Sir told us what school value we will be looking at this week, he told us the top ten students of mathletics, he was telling us that we have to bring our own drink bottle and the last thing he said was “We are proud and passionate leaders of learning in the heart of the community, Ina te tukaha te tu maia o nga kaiarataki matauranga kei waenganui kei te manawa o te iwi kainga.” After Sir had said what he had to say Nico did the Karakia and then Mihi said the Mihi to start the morning off. After the Karakia and Mihi my class started this piece of writing and then had a brake by playing golden child. Golden child is a game where one team is shooting and the other team is running a lap of the court, the runners and the shooters have to be in a line and take turns running and shooting. To start the game the coach or in this case Mrs Jujnivich would call out “Start!” or “Go!” That's when the runners will start to run a lap then shooters will start shooting. Once the shooters have got a basket the runner that is running would stop and then the next person would try to run a lap to get home. To win the round the shooters have to shoot a basket while the last runner is running the runner is the golden child has to make it home.  the runner is called golden child 

Favourite Things

I had a great day at school because I loved playing golden child with all my friends and finally going somewhere and seeing people. The best thing was that I could get away from my brothers just for a bit. 

Descriptive Poem

 30 June 2021

WALT:  Write a descriptive piece of Poetry

What is yellow?  A buttercup flower is yellow.

Sprouting out into the fresh air as it finds its way into the glow of sunshine. 

What is red?  Jam is red. 

Slop it on your morning toast, sweet and just a little treat to have so your day is better than ever. 

What is white?  A marshmallow is white. 

Squishy as the squishy teddy you cuddle up with at night, as sweet as a lollipop. 

What is blue?  The sky is blue. 

Helps our clouds have a home and the bright sun has a home. 

What is green?  Kea are green. 

Native bird but really cheeky and really camouflage in any sort of bush. 

What is pink?  Lipstick is pink. 

Wipe it on your lips just to make you look fabulous instead of looking hideous because you're late to work. 

Tree Planting

WALT write an in incredible recount

On the 22 of June 2021 my school Paparore, lined up at 9:00am to walk off to lake Ngatu to plant 1600 plants. Each student had to plant at least 10 plants each, to reach the total of 1600 trees that needed to be planted. 

When everyone was settled and sitting down after our little stroll to the lake, Cleo and Donnie said Karakia and Mihi then all of us sang some of our school songs. One of the people that talked to us said that over the last 15 years there have been 40,000 plants planted in total.

As soon as Paparore School finished singing our school songs we all got a little demonstration by a lady that looked like she had a lot of experience about planting. After that demonstration off we were to get planting some plants. My Te Pihi partner was a boy called Thomas and my group was Lara, Maddison, Grason, Thomas and me. Our adult helper was Lara’s dad, his name is Robert and he dug all the holes for the student’s to carefully put the baby tree into the hole. If you do not know how to plant a baby plant then next time when you plant follow these steps. 

First you have to dig a deep enough hole so you can fit the plant in the hole. Next you have to squeeze the container so the plant can come out and carefully brake the roots and to in the hole and put soil around it and push down with you heal. 

My favourite part about planting was being able to do something fun knowing that I am helping the environment. We all cheered the parents as they walked through the tunnel the students made for them to walk through. 

Describe A Pet

This piece of writing is describing my bird Joejo.

My pet that I am going to tell you about is a cockatiel (which is just a bird), named Joejo.  Joejo is about 5 years old or 6 years old.  My big brother Isaac got Joejo for Isaac’s 5th birthday so my little brother has known Joejo for his whole life which is pretty special.  

His feathers are grey, white, yellow and he has a touch of orange on his cheeks with a tiny pink beak.  Joejo’s beak is awesome for biting the shell off seeds.  Joejo is the best at entertaining because if you whistle a little tune then Joejo would start dancing then interrupt you so he can have a turn singing.  Joejo think’s that his singing is as good as the best popstar in the world. When strangers come over and touch the door handle he thinks its my Dad because my Dad comes home for lunch and dinner from farming or going on the farm so Joejo gets super excited.  

This is what I love most about Joejo.  His feathers are as soft as the softest pillow in the world.  We used to be able to pat him but now Joejo gets nervous when we pat his head.  Although Joejo is a little bit of a showoff because sometimes when strangers come he puffs out his wings to show that he is tough and not scared.  

Describe A Person

 

This piece of writing is describing my sister Mikayla.

My older sister, Mikayla is the person in my life who inspires me a lot.  Mikayla has blonde, silky, straight, long hair with tiny streaks of light brown running through it.  Mikayla’s hair is as pretty as Matariki at midnight.  She has light skin all over like my skin, her skin glows as soon as she steps out to the afternoon sun.  Mikayla’s eyes are as beautiful as the prettiest ocean blue with a touch of dark blue too.  When Mikayla smiles she Her smile is as bright as the beautiful shining sun rising and setting.  

My favourite memory with Mikayla was when we walked together through the long grass at my old farm or when she walked with me while I was in a tiny red plastic trailer with a handle so she can pull me along the tractors tyre marks while sitting in the trailer. 

When Mikayla is angry she puts Ava to sleep and tells Tristan to look after Blake while she has time by herself in her room. Sometimes I help Mikayla with putting Ava to sleep or I just put Ava to sleep with my mum and give Ava cuddles.
