The Stargazer

In Te Ngahere a group of experts at blogging have been writing stories that have to be 100 words no more or less it has to be exactly 100. We also had to choose a photo after we chose a photo we had to create the 100 word story of the photo. Here is my story 

As an astronomer, Bob believed he had the best job in the world! Ever since he was a boy, Bob had been fascinated with stars, planets and moons. He sat there huddled up in a nice warm blanket he could see the stars among his feet, he had never seen anything like this before. He felt like he was in the deep blue sky. He loved this feeling. He felt like he was on top of the world with the stars like this.  Pulling out his camera he turns to capture photos of the nightsky and crack Ahhhhhh! He awoke. 

Here is the photo I had to write about.

My Interesting Mornings

 Kia ora bloggers, In Te Ngahere we have been re- learning our waitia first things every morning and Tuesdays during kapa haka. We have also been learning a new waitia called I Te Ao. I have really enjoyed our new mornings this week ,I can’t wait till prize giving only cause I am graduating and I can't wait to sing to the audience near the end of the year. I did well at the actions and memorizing the new words. I need to work on smiling. Did you know the maori language was never written down in the beginning?

How To Tee Ball

 Kia ora bloggers, in Te Ngahere we have been learning how to play tee ball, It was really fun. If you do not know how to play there is a tee that holds up a ball, you then have to hit the ball and run as fast as you can to the bases we had a total of four bases including the home base. I found tee ball really fun. I did well at running to the bases, I need to work on hitting the ball further. I can't wait to play tee ball tomorrow. Did you know the inventor of tee ball was Jerry Sacharski?

Te Huarere

 In Te Ngahere we are learning to create our own weather report in te reo Maori. We got paired up with a buddy I chose Anyah. Me and Anyah had to choose 6 places to report on we chose Wanganui, Otaki, Auckland to Northland, Nelson, Rakiura and kaiapoi. I think Anyah and I did well at communicating with each other and working together to get our work done. We could work on getting our script and presentation done faster. We were learning this to pronounce Te reo maori. Have you ever had to create a weather report in te reo Maori?

Orientation Day

In Te Ngahere the year 8 students went to Bay of Islands College for the day, there were a group of year 8 students that went from Paihia School and Karetu School. It was really fun I got a taste of what it’s like to be at college it is not really different from a primary school. The only difference is that I am no longer one of the oldest people in the school. My least favourite subject I attended yesterday was social studies. My favourite subject was art and P.E. What college or high school are you thinking of going to?

My Holidays

 It all started with my brothers rugby game while he was playing I was playing with my little cousin, we were playing kicks with a rugby ball it was a little boring. Then the game was finished. My brother lost his game I forgot who he played. After the game I decided to stay with my nan. While I was spending time with her me and my cousins decided to make a go cart, the go cart was so fun  the first time I went on it I decided to go from the top of the hill I was riding it but when I was near the bottom I did a full on forward flip, it was so sore. For the other week I went to my other nans and we re- built a house. I enjoyed helping my grandparents during the holidays.  What was your favorite part about your holidays ? 

To Troy and Gustavo

 Kia ora bloggers, In Te Ngahere we have been writing some thank you letters for Troy and Gustavo. As you might know we have been doing a lot of things around science and engineering. I have really enjoyed having Troy and Gustavo come in every wednesday to talk to us about the three newton's laws. In our thank you letter we had to include what we enjoyed about the wonder project and we also had to personalize our thank you letter. But a big thank you to Troy and Gustavo. Here is my Thank you letter

Monday 21st of September

Dear Gustavo and Troy

I really appreciate you guys coming to Paihia School to teach us about science and engineering. I have learnt a lot of things from the last time you guys were here. I have learnt a lot more things about the three laws of motion, I also never knew that there were red kiwi fruits. My favourite thing about the wonder project will have to be the final launch because we came second.

I also appreciate you guys sharing your knowledge and ideas with us this term. I also love the way you guys were patient, respectful and friendly with us even though we sometimes did not listen or respect you. I also loved that you guys never gave up on us and you guys always believed us.  

Thank you Troy and Gustavo for turning up to our school every Wednesday to teach us about science, engineering, all those things. Also a big thank you for putting up with our class. 

Sincerely 

Mihipeka
