Matariki Celebration Day

Last week on Thursday Paihia School had a family Matariki day. We did all kinds of fun stuff like Art, planting trees, playing games and eating freshly made pancakes, waffles and donuts. Some people got up at 6.00 am and went with the school to see the matariki stars. Then at 7.00 am we went to school for a breakfast. After breakfast we played until 9.00 am and then it was usual school.

Waitangi Celebrations

Last Week we went to Waitangi, we played a lot of games and we got to weave a piece of  flax. We had to have buddies mine was Brodi. We made a cool kite it was very pretty. My favourite game was the rope game.

Fidget Spinner Art

A few weeks ago, Te Ngahere and Te Maunga drew their own fidget Spinners. We were learning to use as much space as we could. We were drawing fidget spinners to go with our fidget spinner writing. We used crayon and dye in our picture.

Here is my story !!!

I am talking to you today because I think fidget spinners should not be allowed in class or even school.

Firstly, they can distract you in class and affect other people. They can make you confused because you will be looking at it, and you might forget what you are doing and confuse you.

Secondly, they can be really expensive, some can cost over ten dollars and what is the point of getting something that small for ten dollars.

Thirdly, somebody might want a turn and then they may break it. Then you could get sad and some people are not normal, they might have a fight.

For all these reasons this is why fidget spinners should not be allowed  at Paihia School.

The Yummy Ice Cream

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere made ice cream. First we had to get our reading tasks done. We were learning to answer a variety of questions. We had to have buddy’s my buddy was Brodi. Te Ngahere got to make ice cream because all of our class finished their learning plans.

General Knowledge

Last week we made presentations about general knowledge. We were Learning to find information about the world around us. I think I did really good with my presentation because I got a lot of facts in it. Although I think I could have done better with the key information.

The Haunted House Animation

Once upon a time there was a scary monster that lived in the haunted house. He got very lonely and wanted a friend but nobody liked him because he was a scary warty troll. Sometimes people would come to the haunted house and they would try and be brave but then they would run straight back out the door.

But one day a little blonde girl named Alexis and her best friend with brown dark hair named Brodi went down to the haunted house but before they could get there, they had to cross two horrible obstacles. First they had to cross the lake it was filled with sharks, crocodiles, octopus, electric eels, piranhas, water snakes and stinging jellyfish.

Alexis said, “I know a way through.” She swam through and talked to the animals because she had the power to talk to animals. The animals made a path for them both. They swam across the lake and went to the other side and dried off and stayed there, they also set up a tent for the night.

The next morning they woke up and packed up camp the next challenge was to go through a deep and a dark forest without screaming or getting even a slight scared. They started walking through the forest as happy as can be but they didn’t know there was a bear behind them. Then Brodi felt a little bit of air blowing on her leg and then she felt a slimy thing it was snot from the baby bear. They picked it up and the bear licked Brodi and Alexis on their face the slimy droll dribbled down their faces.

They made it through the scary forest and it was time to go into the Haunted house they thought it wasn’t even a little bit scary. They walked to the top and then they saw the troll then they were starting to get scared. But then they heard something, he was crying, they went over. The troll said, “I have no friends, could you guys please be my friends?” The two little girls said, “Yes,”  and they all lived happily ever after.

The End

Last week we made our own character and setting narrative. I was learning to use speech marks in my writing. I think that they are quite hard to do and that I need to improve on them. They have a lot of rules around them and that is what makes them hard. After that we had to make an animation.

Surf Life Saving Beach Day

Surf Life Saving Beach Day

Last week we went to the surf life saving education day it was really fun and we played a game and it was called beach flags.  We even got to use what they call a rescue tube we had to drag each other through the water as if we were drowning. But we did this in the shallows so that we couldn’t drown. We also had parents as posts so they would be their to tell us where we can and can’t go.
