The Race

                                                        🏃The Race🏃

Dad yells "Go" and we hit the ground running. Sand spurting from my feet everywhere I go. "Faster!" Dad yells, he's almost screaming at me. My heart is like a hammer pounding a big hole in my chest. Up ahead I see my sister Te Marama running, crossing the road and even as I know I am crossing the road myself . I am on the other side of the road now, Ellezae is ahead of me as well. I drop my jandles I turn and grab them. "Don't look back Te Aroha" Dad yells, Of course I   look back what else do I do? Am I ahead? Dad can't believe his eyes but I'm still running. The surface changes beneath my feet, Grass, Rock to Sand. I see a wall of green ahead of me, I race up to it.   I am now climbing, Up,Up,Up I see other runners running, I pass most of them but  not all.  I can even recognize some people from school, Neighbors even Teachers.  I look ahead of me  bushes the colors of  moss. I am now running through the bush, Brunches hitting my face leaving scars, But I have to keep on going I do. The wind harshly changes   from Soft to Breezy then to Stormy.
 Mum catches up to me  and we both start running. We have now made it to a slope and we run up it. It leads to a Hill and we also run up to it. Everything felt safe and calm and peaceful. Or as it seems...

Doing Production

💩Production Show💩

Doing Production was the best, We performed confidently, We knew all our lines, But I think the performing was the best. Our costumes 👗 where fabulous, I think the Trees 🌲 costumes  where the best, They stood out, And they where pretty much the best group at smiling 😀. I was a fairy in the show, I was singing "Better when I"m Dancing" with Lylah.   

Productin Reflection

😊Production Rehearsal😊

Kahikatea Team will be  presenting a show(Production) on Monday 11th of September 2017. We have practiced day after day to memorize our lines, We have ran through and fixed things up and taking things out & switching lines, It took a lot of hard work to practicing but we got there in the end. My character is a fairy,(Patupaiarehe) These fairy's get up to mischief we want to lead the 3 adventurers into a trap. (See What I mean) It was pretty fun seeing everyone costumes. My costume is hilarious, It has blue and gold on the outside and just a blue latitude. I am also singing (Better when I'm Dancing) With Lylah Wood. 




I am only in 2 scenes, I am in the fairy scene and the Tamariki scene. In the Tamariki scene we are whispering and giggling and also playing games like,Paper,Scissors,Rock or Apple on the Stick and other games. Then we will sing a song that Wheae Kathie has made up. It is sort of like, "Blame it on the boggie" but it's WAY better.

"Line up  quickly" exclaimed Mrs Hobbs. We all walked over to the multicolored truck and waited outside for Nick. When she was ready we all had to get into groups of 3. I was with Ella. We  got into the truck and waited for more instructions. "Alright now I want you to stand up one at a time and say a choice or decision you did or mad today" Nick announced. Straight away everyone stood up without looking behind them to see how else  was standing. After everyone was finished sharing their ideas we started looking at, The look, The huddle, The put down and the reason. When we were done we watched a very interesting video about a very good netball player Who is asked to come to the skate park with some friends of hers witch can be very tempting but she needs to pick up her little sister from ballet class.Instead of doing the right thing she went to the skate park. (which is a bad decision) But she still went.By the time she got there she realized her friends did not have a skate boards."Um so what do you want to do? she questioned.Then a guy named Ky grabbed something out of his bag some smokes...

MY SPEECH REFLECTION

My Speech Reflection😊

On Thursday the 29th, I had to share my  Speech in front of the hole class it was a bit weird at first but after I read a few lines I started to get a bit comfortable reading it in front of the class. 

*What was Good about my Speech? 

 The thing I thought was good in my Speech was the Hamburger when it said if WE don't look after our bees then that's the burger gone and I thought it was a good example for everyone because everyone (Maybe) Everyone loves Hamburgers and it was a warning to everyone that if we don't look after our bees then that's the burger gone.

*What was Bad

The thing I found out that was bad was

. Using eye contact with the people I was reading to.

. Engaging  the audience with Question's and more interesting things.

What was interesting about my Speech?

 The interesting bit about my Speech was that I thought I was reading Really Loud and  Confident but actually I was reading really Quiet and Lowish.

THE TAKEOVER

😊THE TAKEOVER😊

I  feel the wind push tenderly  against the grassy trees allowing them to sway side to side.  I can feel the sharp pain of the rocks stab  at the  bottom of my feet.  I  hear the birds play a sweet  harmony as the sweep gracefully in the wind leaving me  alone in the bush. I give a sigh of relief. As I do I breathe in the fresh air.  I am standing there breathless with amazement.    When I stop staring for about 10 or 20 seconds Caitlin  strolls up to me,I stare at her like nothing happened.  "Did you see that?" I questioned in astonishment. "See what?" she asked screwing up her face. (In a questionable way)  "That thing that I just saw??" " What was it" Caitlin said "Be specific" I just stood  there looking at here, I was surprised she hadn't seen a thing. So to get the conversation over and done with I just said, "Lets go back to class" I said with a slight grin looking straight at her. "Okaaaaay" she replied with a squeaky tiny voice. So we trotted back to class. THE END   

The Zoo Trip

🐵Going to the Zoo🐵

Click!!! I clicked my seat belt on as we drove of, We were going to the Hamilton Zoo. I was going with Mrs Eyre, Blake, Addison, Max.E and Carter. As soon as we got there I could already see people gazing  at some birds with beautiful tail feathers. "Whats so great about birds?" asked Addison. "Everything!!!" replied Blake. "What?" asked  Addison with a screwed up face. But before Blake could answer, Mrs Hobbs cleared her throat and started speaking. "Okay you are all here so now we will be having a little talk with Ken, Okay so can I get you to all line up and just wait for him please!!" She shouted. Suddenly  a very TALL man came ambling over to us. "Who's he?" I said to Addison keeping my voice  as quiet so no one could hear me. "He's Kevin, the Zoo keeper dude" Addison replied. As soon as he started I was really busting to go and check  out the new animals they had  introduced to the Zoo. After he had  finished talking a lady  came in holding a mysterious box with little flap covers on it. "What do you think is in it?" asked the lady. "Um... a kitten". "Close but tat is not it" she said. "It is a tuatara" My face struck with shock, "Why a tuatara? I asked. But the lady ignored my question. Instead she revealed the creature that was in the box. "Wow" some people said. "Can we touch him?" "How do you know it is even a he, It could be a she" "Very smart thinking but it is a he" The Zookeeper said. "So we will have a little time to pass it around t=and then we will take you for a walk around the Zoo" So she passed it around the whole class and we all got a touch of his tail. When it came to my turn I could feel the scales on the reptile. Shivers where sent down my spine. "Okay so have you all had a touch?" "Yes" We all replied. Now Kevin will take you around the Zoo 

 

Dimensional Shapes

  Dimensional Shapes 

             On Friday the 5th of May, We (Room 10) were in instructed to draw isometric blocks on dotted paper with pencil. It was pretty challenging to  start off but I got the hang of it. I  had to ask a few people to help and drew a little but after, I was able to draw the rest my self. What I learned was.... I learnt that symmetrical means  made up of exactly  similar parts facing each other or it means the same thing on the same side. So we had LOTS of fun. I can now be creative and make up my very own Dimensional shape pattern.

How whales change the climite

How  Change The Climate

Did you know that  whales are a wildly distributed & they are the coolest group of animals on Earth, With so many specialized features that might as well be from space. If  you're looking for some kind of mind-blowing facts about these awesome marine mammals well here they are. The order  of animals are called cetaceans which means, more  generally relating to large aquatic mammals, either directly or by analogy. More whales mean more fish and krill.
