First of all we had to sing the national anthem, second of all Mr Burt gave out some certificate for trying hard and the second certificate was for 100% attendance. The third thing was the year 4 and 5 performance.

There song that they performed were cool and one of there song is my favourite and it’s called I’ve got the magic. There dance was very very cool but I didn’t like the parts when they got on and of parts because it took too long but it was good.

when they finished they go off stage and Mr Burt said some great things about the dance. Next he called out some more certificates for the same things but for the year 6. at the end of prize giving we had to sing our school song and say the preer and go home. I had a good time at prize giving

Concerning this school

Future Aspiration

Sitting down in class thinking to myself “UHMM” wonder what I’m going to be in the future. Am I going to be a Dancer a Singer wait a Architect. I would like to be an Architect because I'm a pretty good artist. My favourite subject is art.

Did you know that last week on Thursday all the years 7s & 8s had a talk to other people about their job or what they do in life.There were 5 speakers. My favourite speaker is a very very smart and intelligent person, he is the age of 12. I felt shocked when he told all of us that he’s going to University next year

First day at school

Today we had 40 minutes to write about our first day of school. From looking at our writing we are going to set some writing goals for the term:

The first day of school felt pretty scary and exciting at the same time because I’ve never  seen heaps of people sitting in one classroom. My first class teacher was Mrs George. she was the kindest teacher I’ve ever met. She gave me paper to draw on while everyone was doing work. when ever I had A little scratch on my knee she would always comfort me.

When the first bell rang for morning tea time I got a little fright because of how loud it was. The bell kept on ringing for about five seconds. When the bell stop ringing everyone in our class ran to their bags to get their morning tea out, so I went to my bag and got morning tea out and sat down on the deck outside of our classroom and started eating.

When I finished eating I asked this boy named James if I could play handball with him? and he said yes. He served the ball to me and I tried to hit the ball back to him but I misted the ball about four to five times on my sixth hit I skimmed him out.

In the weekend

In the weekend my brother and I had a water fight. First we turned on the hose and filled up some bottles with water. Next our next door neighbour asked if they were allowed to play with us.  We said “yes”. After we said yes they sprinted off to get changed.

When they came out I shouted “3,2,1 GO!!!” “SPLISH” “SPLASH” “SPLISH” “SPLASH”. All I heard was the water splashing my face. When all the bottles were empty I refilled it with some more water and splashed some water on my brothers face. After that I sat down for a while then my brother splashed me in the face with water.

My neighbour ran away and hid behind his shed. At first we couldn't find him but then I looked behind the shed I saw him on the ground. He didn’t see me so I splashed him in the face with water.

When we finished playing we had to pack the hose away and the bottles too. After I finished packing everything I went and had a hot shower.    

Four shot movie

Hi my name is Mikaiah me and my partner James is working on A four shot movie. Our story is about a boy gets a cup and gets some boiling water and makes Milo then he drinks the hole thing then puts down his cup and sees his cup still filled with Milo.

Twin Towers Reflaction

Last week on Monday B2 rotated into creative strand. Creative strand is a time when you create cool things. There’s two things you could either do, which are movie making and art Movie making is when you create a movie about an event in history like, The Twin Towers, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and many more things.

I made a short movie about the Twin Towers. I think it’s a minute and a half long. I made a really cool animation about the two planes crashing into the Twin Towers well at least I think it's cool. My sound is really good. I recorded a good voice over but it’s really short. My message is about the tragic destruction that happened to the Twin Towers.

The Twin Towers

Hi my name is Mikaiah this a little movie that I made my self.

This movie that I made is based on the massive destruction of the Twin Towers.

I hope you enjoy.

Martin Luther King

In 1963 Martin Luther King had a speech it was called I have a dream. He had a dream to

help people go to the same school. Also that they can go on the same bus but they had to sit in the back of the bus and if the bus was full one of the black people have to give up their spot. There were more black people that were poor and lived in poverty, but lots of the white people lived in prosperity.   

Martin Luther Kings first job was being a lawyer, Next his other job was being a minister. But he was most famous for fighting for equality for the blacks. Did you know that when he was signing books he was stabbed on the back? He went to jail for a short time. He went to jail because tax and traffic offences, they tried to find something what he did wrong so he can go jail. Did you also know that his house was filled with C4 and got destroyed. He got assassinated.

In a america there were less black people and more white people back then. Martin Luther King was fighting for equality between white people and black people. The black people could vote but they made it really difficult for them. Martin Luther King would be happy if he was here right now, because of Barack Obama being the president of the U.S.A.

Martin Luther King made the most wonderful speech in America. His speech inspired many many people around the country. His speech was about bringing peace between Black and White people, also making everything equal. He wanted the black people and white to set together in the bus and go together in the same school.

Cross Country

“ON YOUR MARKS, GET SET, GO!!!” Yesterday our whole school had a Cross Country race It was heaps of fun even though It was so tiring. We  had so much fun we got to slide in the mud and puddles of water. We all had to start at school than run half of the field, next we run out of school grounds and run all around the reserve twice.

As I was running I could feel the sun bursting down to my face. I was sweating and tired at the same time. I told myself not to quit and to keep on running. “GO MATATUA”, As I was running I tripped up into the water and got wet from top to bottom .

“ YES!!! ” I'm nearly finished my first lap. As I reached the finish line I heard heaps of people cheering and shouting.YES!!! I’m on my second lap I said to myself in my head.

I was puffing so hard and my heart was beating so fast too. I got a stitch when I was just reached the finished line. When I past the finish line I felt Proud of myself because I finished the race, I was really really tired too.

Hutt Valley Cook island youth

When where in the hall we got to eat first then after the other group comes and eat after as. When they finished eating we get into a group and introduce our self to the hutt valley group.

After playing tag we played ball rush tag on there court it was really fun playing with the other group because we got to know them better and become friends.

Next we left to go to GI to the Matariki celebration because we were dancing there so we had to get changed into our clothes to dance in. We didn't know that the hutt valley group were coming to watch as. when we were ready we waited for the drummers to give the signal for as to walk up and dance.

Music

Music is really good for you because it can help you move on with your life. It can help you to make the right choices each day. Music can help you learn about other things that’s happening in the world. Music keeps you company when you're sad and it can really make you feel happy. Music is really fun to listen to and it can calm down your mind when you're depressed, nervous or angry.

Most music is really nice and groovy and some are actually kind of crazy, but you can really get over it. Music can help you learn about Jesus and God. Music can help you be a follower of Jesus and God. Music can help you be kind and generous to other people even if they’re strangers that you don’t know.

My favourite song artist is Stan Walker and Skrillex. The songs that I like out of Stan Walker is Purple Rain, Blake Box, Let’s Stay Together, Superstar, Music Won’t Break Your Heart and Homesick.

The songs that I like out of Skrillex is  Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Kill EveryBody, Bangarang, Summit, Make It Bun Den, Reptile’s Theme, Rock n’ Roll, My Name Is Skrillex and Kyoto.

The three little cats

Once upon a time there were three little cats. Two of the little cats were nasty and one of the little cats was kind and generous. One day the three little cats went out to build their own houses to live in.

The first little cat went and got heaps of straw to build his own house but suddenly he heard a stick snap into pieces. He turned around and saw a huge German Shepherd. But the little cat didn't care so he carried on trying to find a spot to build his house. Little did he know that he was being followed by the German Shepherd.

The Little cat finished building his house. Than the giant German Shepherd approached the little cats house and knocked on the door. As soon as the little cat opened the door, the German Shepherd jumped on top of the cat and the cat got eaten.

The next day the German Shepherd went to the next cats house. His house was made out of wood. The German Shepherd blew the house down and ate the little cat. The two cats that got eaten were both of the nasty cats.

The third cat was a smart and also a special cat. He was so smart that he made his house out of bricks and it was so strong that nothing could break it. Then, the German Shepherd came to the third little cats house and tried to blow the house down. He tried and he tried but he just couldn't blow the house down.

So he jumped on top of the house and jumped down the chimney. He didn’t know that the little cat was cooking stew so he jumped straight into a hot pot of boiling water. “Splash!” He landed in the pot and he slowly died. The little cat survived because it was cooking the German Shepherd with his stew.

Camping with my friends

 One Day me and my three friends Paris, James and Kane went out camping. We all had to find all our gear and meet at James’s house. We left camping on Tuesday. We were all very excited about going on this trip. We had to have at least one or two adults with us just for safety.

By the time we reached the gate to go through the forest we all were puffed out. So as we were walking through the forest we were excited and scared at the same time. We were scared because there was this scary noise whistling through the trees.

When we were walking in the forest we heard a stick snap into two pieces. So we turned around and looked at what was there and we slowly went and hid through the trees and waited for someone or something to walk past.

We waited for about seven minutes and then suddenly there was a weird looking animal that had six legs and for eyes and it looks almost like an eight feet tall animal. We were really really scared because the animal looks very ferocious.

We waited and waited and waited until the cretcher walked away. It stayed for about five minutes until it walked away. When it was walking away Paris stood up and snapped stick the animal turned around and we all started running and it was chasing us we were screaming loud and know one herd us.

It was really really scary and when we got to the gate I closed it as fast as I could and it stop because of the gate. We were very freaked out and scared. so we all walked home and we would never walk into the forest again.

Kids fun day

Hi last week on Saturday my church had a kids fun day. First we went to tenpin bowling in Panmure. me and my family had to set up all the activities that we were doing. One of them was playing in the arcade. Everybody in the church got to get six tokens to play on any game they wanted too.

After, the next activity we did was bowling we had heaps and heaps of fun bowling. on my first go I hit down eight tens. Then on my second go I got one down when I was supposed to get both of them down but I missed one.

Next we went back to playing in the arcade and we got some more tokens. There was this one game that was really fun but I did not know what was the name for it. Well it was a boxing game that is really fun first you had to insert a token and pull down the boxing bag and hit it as hard as you can and see how much points you get.

When we were still playing in the arcade we got called out that we have another turn of bowling. we were all very shocked and very excited about it. I had to wait because there were two people in front of me. When it was my turn I stood up and tried to find the light’s bowling ball and went for my turn and I just got nine pines down. Than next on my second go I got a spare.

Argument about lollies

Children should eat lollies...	Children should not eat lollies...
1. They love lollies	1. Lollies rot their teeth
2. They taste sweet	2. They could get sick
3. They can be happy	3. They could end up with diabetes
4. Lollies are very cheap	4. They could get too fat
5. They are colourful	5. It has too much sugar and makes kids hyper

Children should not eat lollies:

• Paragraphe 1

Children should not eat lollies because children can get rotten teeth. If you eat too much lollies than that means you could have not much teeth when your older. Also your teeth might break when you eat solid types of food like chocolate, Cookies and lollipops.

• Paragraphe 2

If you eat too much lollies you could get sick. When you're sick that would mean that you need to go to the doctors which I hate. When you're sick you can actually catch many many diseases.

• Paragraphe 3

It is really really sad If you eat way too much sugar because most people can actually get diabetes from heaps of lollies and sugar. Getting diabetes can make you sick also you will need to go to the hospital too. Diabete is so so bad for your body.

• Paragraphe 4  

When sugar enters your body it turns into fat and you can actually get really really fat from sugar. Many people can get obese from heaps and heaps of sugar as you already know that sugar turns into fat well you could die from obesity.

• Paragraphe 5

If your children eat way too much sugar they could get hypo. It is really hard trying to get your kids together when they are hypo. Kids are really difficult when they are hypo. I just hate giving heaps of sugar to kids they don’t listen to you when you tell them what to do.

                                          Hi this is an Vanilla producer 

Report for what is in our food

Report Writing about Eggs:

Eggs are very very high in protein and high in cholesterol. Caged eggs and organic eggs taste a bit different. New Zealanders eat up to  920,000,000 eggs per year.

Caged Hens:

There are 6 hens per cage. The space that each hen has is about the same size as a A4 paper. The surface of the cage is on an angle so when they lay eggs the eggs can roll down. Also there is a line going across the cages so when they try and pick the eggs the line gives them a little shock.

Free Ranged:

Free range hens are really different to caged hens. Free range eggs taste different than cage eggs. Free range hens have more space than caged hens. These hens can run around but caged hens can’t.

Organic Eggs:

Organic eggs are high in protein and cholesterol. If you would think that all the eggs are all the same well you're wrong. There are two eggs that are not the same and they are called Free range eggs and Organic eggs. If you were to cook them both and tack them to a market for a tasting sample Organic eggs will be voted the most.

Free Range Eggs:

Free range eggs have the same protein as Organic eggs. Free range eggs actually has more protein when it’s cooked than raw.   

Assembly WILL.I.AM

“WOW” I just had an amazing experience. An a amazing song artist walking through our school door. Guess who it is?. It’s “WILL.I.AM” from The Black Eyed Peas. I wish I can turn up as a star like him. I wonder how he became a star.

It was so so exciting because he gave the school $100.000.00 dollars Isn't it so cool a song artist giving the school money. Would it be so cool if he performed a song in front of the hole school. The dumb thing that we can't do is ask for his autograph. I like WILL.I.AM’s new song its called power.

As he was walking through the door I turned around and all I saw was a hole bunch of cameras and I just found out that we were going to be on TV. I think he is the worlds greatest song artist he is a kind and generous person.

He is very cool and my favourite song is That Power, Far Away From Home, Geekin’, Scream and Shout and last but not least Let's Go. The best part of the day for me is when he came into our classroom. When he came into our class I was so so nervous and miss ask the class if anybody wanted to ask a question. And suddenly a lady from the camera seen ask Makayla to read out something about WILL.I.AM.

After that when she finished reading they all went away.    

Fia fia opera

Hi my name is Mikaiah today on Friday the 12th of April 2013 at assembly many people perform to make us get inspired of Fia fia. Fia fia is when Cook island groups, Samoan, Tongan and many many more. This performance came from a lady that came from Australia the music that she was singing like a Soprano kind of way. Her singing was pretty awesome she perfectly made her high notes.

All the performance were cool from the past few weeks. she sang two songs both of them had meanings one of them means that hav you wanted to get something but your parents would not buy it for you. After she sang a song that means that a sixteen year old girl wanted to get married but her parents would not let her.
