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

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

Last week on Saturday me my mum and my brother went to a hall in mangere with a Cook island dancing group so we can meat another Cook island dance group called 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.

The first person to stand up and introduce them self was my cousin Andy. She stalled up and said "hi my name is Andy I am 18 years old and I have two younger sisters and two younger brothers. Next up was my cousin Kimerly She said her name how old she was and how many brothers and sisters she had and introduce her dad and mother too.

After she finished introducing her self next it was her brothers turn Ben he said his name and how old he was and introduce his sisters and his brother too. Next it was my turn I stalld up and said hi my name is Mikaiah my brother is Simon and I am 11 years old and turning 12 in September the 26th and I said my mum is Tangata Hopini and my dad is Norman Hopini.

Next after introducing our self all the kids were allowed to play on the playground out side they had two play grounds so I went on the biggest park there and played tag with the other 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.

After waiting we herd the drums playing so we quickly got into lines and walked on the grass and started dancing. First it was all the boy and girls but for the next dance it was just the girls. Next when we finished dancing it was just the girls next after the girls finished dancing we did the last dance witch was all of as together. so we stalled in our lines and started dance.

When we finished every body that was at the Matariki counted down for the fireworks to explode in mid air. So every body started counting down 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 "BLASTOFF"!!! as we all screamed through the air. We started packing up when the fireworks were going. We stayed until the fireworks stop, when it stopped we went and said god bye to the other group and we all went home.

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.

The End
