How to make a Christmas tree decoration

Materials:

• 1 Ice block stick
• 3 Cupcake cups
• 1 glue stick 

Steps:

1. Grab a ice block stick
2. Grab 3 cupcake cups
3. Grab a glue stick
4. Fold the cupcake cup in half then place 1 hand on the bottom of the cupcake then place the other 1 inside the middle of the cupcake then bring half of it to the middle then fold that down do this to all three of them.
5.  Grab your glue then glue all three of the cupcake cups onto the Ice block stick make sure to glue the part you folded in half and the part you folded into a triangle then your finished. 

My learning for this is good because when I wasn't here for the learning I still managed to finish the work exactly how it was suppose to be. The hard part was doing the folds. The easy part was everything else. My next step is to work on my folds. Here is a photo of my completed work. 

I hope you get a chance to create one of these.

Athletics Day.

 This week on Tuesday we had athletics day we were learning to do sportsmanship. In the beginning we were split into groups I was with the year 7 & 8 girls then we had to do 6 activities the 1st one for us was hurdles under and over 2nd was Shot put our 3rd one was a sack race. Then the 4th was high jump  Awatea and Ocean placed first for the year 7 & 8 girls and for the year 8 girls Delina and I placed equal 2nd place then we moved on to discus well mine flew off course. Then lastly we had long jump and I placed third equal with Awatea and Bobbie-Jo. The part I liked was high jump. The easy part was to do all the activities well having fun. The hard part was to race of other people. My next step is to get better in shot put and discus. Here is a Album of some of the things we´ve done.

Float or sink?

This morning my class was observing a creative boat that I will describe: It had two big water bottles then it was taped together then it had a balloon with a lollipop stick taped to the bottles then we had to fill it up with water. Then we observed and we saw that some of the creative boat had sunk but a little bit of it was floating Awatea said ¨because there´s still some air in it that causes the boat to still float and it doesn't sink to the bottom¨ when we finished observing Whaea Verbina said ¨ who said it would sink and who said it would float¨ Steven, Ebony, Quin, Ngapua, Kody, Honekai, Mahuta, Tuishaly, Kosena, Eva, Awatea, Delina, Tamarah and me said that it would sink but Xavier, Joshua and Manu said it would float poor them because it sunk I think they need more learning on this.

Summer learning journey activity

If I would be able to travel back in time to see some people in the mid 1930´s I would take with me blanket´s for warmth, Our food that we have in the present day to bring in the past, some bath´s to wash themselves soap as well and conditioner & shampoo, tooth brush and tooth paste, candy, clothes and last of all I would go back in time to teach them about all the holidays that we know of in the present day. So those are all the things that I would bring so they can explore new things that we don´t have on the present day.

KAPA HAKA: Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa

On Sat 17 of Nov Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa performed at Kingston stadium, Whangarei and I participated in that Roopu I was proud to as well because  We placed 3rd in our Waiata-tira, Whakaeke, Poi and Whakawatea. We placed 2nd in Waiata-a-ringa and first equal with 4 other roopu in Kaitataki Wahine but we didn´t place in kaitataki tane. Overall we placed 3rd and made it through to nationals My favorite Item  was the whakaeke because that´s the only one that I put all my facials in it was really fun. What we need to work on is to project our voices and being consistent. Here Is some photo´s of Te rau pou manawa o kawakawa.

And here is the video.

Taumarere history

This year our class has discovered stuff about Taumarere history in the Taumarere museum. We have to explain 2 facts about the taumarere trip we had gone on past and present those are the two. 1. the past there use to be a Maori girl school in Taumarere. 2. the present now no one goes to Taumarere some people wonder why well I think it´s because overtime people discovered new things over in Moerewa,  Kawakawa, Kaikohe, Kerikeri, Whangarei and Auckland. There was no easy part I found it a little difficult.

This is a photo of us heading to the Taumarere museum.

What I did in the holidays?

Title: My trip to Auckland.

Planning:

1. When I woke up at my nans.
2. when we headed to netball.
3. when we had fun.

Writing:

In the holidays Tahnellah, My mum and I headed to Auckland from Waiomio it had been a really long trip so Tahnellah & I had fallen asleep during the trip when we woke we had arrived at my nana Hineamarus house. When we arrived inside there was only one person inside his name is Takoha he had been a busy man planing for ki-o-rahi as I heard Takoha and my mum talking I also noticed that Takoha´s girlfriend or wife olive had walked inside with Tane her child. After them was my mum´s mate and her husband with their children as they walked in Tahnellah headed up stairs then so did I because we had been bored down stairs as I gave the squishy toy to Tahnellah I told her to throw it to someone that come´s past for a good laugh. As a adult came past we thought he was a child so I had said ¨Throw it" in a so quiet voice that she alone could hear it she almost threw the ball till she saw how tall he was then she stopped and then he pasted, after  that we started laughing but then we walked in to a room where the boys were playing fortnite season 6 I asked if I could play they said ¨NO¨ I was like ¨Fine then" so I watched well I was with Tahnellah I headed to the kitchen because I missed out on dinner. So well I walked inside the kitchen then what I saw was a surprise it was my favorite aunties and my cousin her name is Braedyn it was starting to turn darker than it already was so we all headed to bed.

¨aah¨ as we all yawned good morning as I saw outside, some dark looking clouds were blocking the heat from which keeps me warm but I know that the sun will force the clouds to go away at some time. My mum said to braedyn, Tahnellah, Money, Boy and me to ¨hurry up and get ready because we are heading over so my mates and I can play netball so Tahnellah, Braedyn and I walked into my mum´s car then the other two hopped in the other car my mum´s mates car as we shut the car doors so hardly we drove of to mum´s netball center when we arrived we thought it was boring so we stayed inside the car but in a while when we walked inside we followed Boy & Money upstairs so they can show us how fun it was. Then we discovered around it then got used to it then i walked to mum then asked her ¨can I borrow 10 dollars like in my dream that I had¨, after I said it she gave it to me then I headed to buy me a snack and a drink because the rest already had stuff from Tahnellah also she said she won´t give anything so that´s that. After that we discovered a photo booth so we took a few photos then Money had been upset because he asked if he could go next but someone else had claimed it.

After that Tahnellah, Braedyn & I ran on the courts outside then when we saw how much people were having fun we decided to have fun as well we first tried these types of goggles that have different visions so I tried them all but it was a two paired game so I VS an adult but she was too focused and I won. After that we walked over to the bike area to ride some bikes when we drove we started realizing that these boys were following us then when we stopped they kept circling us but the when I was riding this random boy that was following us was headed straight for me it´s like I couldn't move and he couldn't either so we crashed. I landed on my two feet but I damaged my knee for a little bit but he fell down then started crying I think he was looking for revenge when we both got back on our bikes but then we had a race and like always Tahnellah won then we left back home. THE END
