On a dark night Te Rauparaha the chief of Ngati Toa went on a trip to find more warriors to help him fight his enemies.  When he got to Lake Rotoaira the chief Te Wharerangi told him to hide in the potato pit. Te Rangikoaea protected the entrance.

While he was in the potato pit it was dark and he could hear footsteps and voices of his enemies. He was saying to himself “Will I die, will I live.”  Te Rauparaha waited for his enemies to leave as soon as they were gone he jumped out and said onward I live the sun is shining. Te Rauparaha went home and told all his villagers about what happened.

Title: The 2 BFF’s  and the Bull

On a cloudless, sunny day, at approximately 3pm in the sizable paddock on the dairy farm situated in the Far North of New Zealand.  Lola & Izzy were trying to find something to do.  Lola was wearing a strippy  suit and blue farm overalls over them. She has long blonde flowing hair.  Izzy was wearing the exact same thing except she has short ginger hair. Lola’s personality is kind and caring, Izzy’s personality is also kind and caring but we can both be a little bit bossy sometimes. While they were in the paddock looking for something to do, Lola found a bunch of pretty flowers and started to teach Izzy how to make pretty chains.  Suddenly Izzy looked up and found lots of big, scary, mean  bulls in the very same paddock!

Problem

As Izzy & Lola were thinking of a plan Lola found the four seater red and black  motorbike  that they had used to get in the paddock. However the motorbike was beyond far away from where they were.  Luckily Izzy and Lola were very fast as they were running to the bike.  The bulls were getting angrier and angrier, “Phew finally we got there,” they groaned. Lola and Izzy hopped onto the motorbike and drove home safely. Telling  their Mum and Dad all about what had happened and how they escaped from the big, scary, mean bulls!

WALT:  Express myself in Narrative Writing

On a rainy stormy day there were 3 campers called Lola. Her personality is kind and caring. On the day they were going camping she was wearing track pants and a nice big jacket. Her hair is blonde.  Pip the dragon was orange and pink he is a mud wing and his personality is sloppy, dirty but he is really nice. Max the bus driver was wearing a bus suit. His personality is kind but sometimes angry. On the way to the forest they were happily singing and laughing. When they got there they were walking along looking for somewhere to stay and then the storm started. It blew away their map but they kept walking through the strong winds.

Getting lost

After about 1 hour they found where they were going to camp. Well they were setting up the tent, Pip was looking for some food but there was none so he whispered to Lola “we've got no food.” Oh no lola said back.  After they set up camp they went for a little walk. On their way back they got lost and all their stuff blew far far deep in the forest, they huddled up and all they could hear was birds chirping and the wind gushing everywhere. They could only just see the yellow & green leaves. It was so dark. Lola was crying, Pip was groaning.  Max was living his best life.  (He was hanging from a tree like a monkey)

What a life saver Lola

All of a sudden Lola remembered that she had the bus keys and if she unlocked it, would make a noise and the lights would flash. So she told the others “look  guys there's the bus.” she kept doing that and they were getting closer and closer until BANG! They had all crashed into the bus quickly: they jumped in and drove home as fast as an elephant. When they got home they were absolutely drenched. Would you like to go camping tomorrow?

Title :The Big Day

Animal

On a sunny day up in a big high fat trunky tree in the middle of the school was an animal  named Jabari. Jabari was a big beautiful white, black and orange cheetah that had lived at the school for years.  Jabari had retired from hunting because of all the fights he had.  Everyday all the children from the school brang meat and cheetah food for him.

Rock concert

One day the school was having a big colorful rock concert in the fully decorated hall . Jabari got left out though. Then one of the nicest kids came out and whispered to Jabari “Come party with us!” so that is what he did. As Jabari walked in he was wowed! They danced all night and ate all night.

Incident

After the concert Jabari wanted to win some money. This week's lottery holds 1 million dollars. He had 2 dollars already. So he asked one of the kids to go to the shop and get a lottery ticket. When the kid got back with the ticket she handed it to Jabari and they both looked at each other and said “We won!!!” So the next day they went on a shopping spree and Jabari built a new house and lots of amazing things for it. Where they lived happily ever after

My Pet

 
My dog Koby is 9 years old. She is a German Shorthaired Pointer (GSP.) Her short coat is white with brown spots.  She is about as tall as my waist.  Her ears are about my hand size. 

Her favourite food is biscuits, avocados and bones. Koby likes to wreck the avocados, and likes to hide them under ground, plus she likes to hide her bones and scuff her dog biscuits as fast as she can, then when she eats them too fast she gets sick and lies down right on her food bowl.

Koby likes Tummy rubs,leaning on people,sleeping,quiet and food.  She doesn't like Loud noises,people touching her tail,people touching  her nose and ears. Koby does silly things like always eating avocados while jumping around like a Hippo, she is often sleeping on my Dad's chair which is Koby's fav chair. She can be as silly as a clown. 

Her nicknames are  Kob, Koby Woby,Kobs and sleepyhead. She sleeps as quietly as a Lion. My dog is always up on our deck where she is not allowed to be so my mum always tells her to get off. She always listens but when Mum is not looking she always sneaks back. She is a cheeky dog alright.

        

 

My Person

 The person inspires me is my Mum has long, brown, shiny, straight hair,  Her eyes are beautifully brown coloured,  with a hint of green.  Ears that  are nicely smooth and she wears perfectly amazing earrings.  She has a curved bumpy nose, and a nice bright smile that lights up my day when I see her smiling. Her skin is as smooth as a fluffy pencil case.

My favourite memory with my Mum is when me and Mum went to rainbows end because she was brave enough to take me on all the rides I wanted to go on and also the ones she wanted to go on. My Mum was as scared as a Lion on the fair-fall.

When my Mum gets angry she yells at anything she is close to even if it's not what made her mad.  Sometimes she storms to her room and shuts the door so Dallas my older brother has to look after me or my Dad will look after me.  My mum is as Amazing as a Yummy Smelling Flower. 

KA mothers day card

My mother reminds me of her red lipstick that matches the red flowers in our backyard.

My mother reminds me of the bright yellow lemons that I pick on a sunny day.

My mother reminds me of the blue ladybugs that fly around our concrete.

My mother reminds me of the purple dragon flower growing in our front yard.

My mother reminds me of the beautiful green leaves that are sprinkled on our trees.

My mother reminds me of the juicy oranges growing right next to the avocado tree.

And that is why I think my mother should be nominated for the best mother.

KA When it rains

 When it rains...      

It splashes,

It drips,

It evaporates,

It flows

and it soaks children trying to find shelter from the storm.

It saturates me when I am trying to go back into the house.

I make it rain when I dribble in my sleep because I am having a dream of me in candy land eating all the lollies.

K.A Tsunami warning

8.3.2021                                                       

WALT: Write a Narrative

Tsunami warning Friday 5.3.2021

Last Friday there was a Tsunami warning we packed our bags and went to the whare Mrs Stevenson asked Te Puawai to go last we walked over to the road and crossed we saw cars waiting and wondering what  we were doing once everyone crossed we had a gate to climb over we climbed over and started walking up Mount Ngatu. Some of us even walked into a spiky bush. At last we were at our first stop. We had a kai and the teachers called out the roll to make sure nowone had gone missing. Some of the girls needed to go to the toilet so we had to go behind a tank and the boys went down a hill.  I could hear other students crying and screaming. We went over and made sure they were ok.

Next, we went to a higher ground some students did not bring their drink bottles so the teachers made a drinking space for those who did not get a chance to get their drink bottle. There was lots of sand there the boys played with toy cars and the little cups for the water. I was running with Grace to meet her baby brothers but I slipped and fell on my face. I ate a bit of sand by accident and it tasted disgusting. After all that Sir finally arrived and told us that we could go to lower ground so someone went to school and got the gazebo and bbq (barbecue.) But we had to wait, so they put it up.

It took about 10-5 minutes to get it up so we ran down and played well while they were putting it up. Sir let the juniors go eat first. After everyone had eaten their sausage sizzle we had to do waiata Mrs Brydon got me, Koda, Maddie and Grace to be the starters, it was very embarrassing.

After that we just got to play around. When Sir came down he told us we could finally go back to school. After that we packed our stuff up and started walking back. When we were about half way down I slipped and hurt my knee but I kept walking.  After about half an hour of walking we reached the bottom yay!   We jumped the gate, crossed the road and we were finally back at school. Paparore was up there for about 4 hours.

My Speech

 WALT present a persuasive speech.

What did you do well? The thing I did well was getting the ideas and putting my speech into paragraphs. Also I was using as much eye contact.What do you need to work on for next time? making my speech a bit longer and adding more detail. What was your overall feeling about your speech experience? At the start I was very very nervous BUT when I stood up in front of everyone I was so exited after that I was very proud.

Covid-19 Writing

What happens at level 2?

I think that at level 2 we have to use physical distance.

At level 2 lockdown we all have to make sure that we are physical distancing. I am not happy that covid 19 has hit us again in New Zealand. I feel quite scared for my dad's sisters family that live in Te Awamutu which is near Auckland. All of NZ should know to wash their hands and use lots of hand sanitizer. This is called hand hygiene. Always remember that we need to be 1-2 meters apart and we need to stay in our bubbles. The people in Auckland need to stay in isolation. We need to try really hard to not bite our nails and touch our face. We need to make sure we wash our hands before and after we go somewhere.


Thank-you for reading about what I think about Covid 19
