Once upon a time there was a warrior. This warrior was named Iratumoana he was very strong and respected by everyone.In those days there was a taniwha that was the only match for him. Iratumoana got very angry he wanted to beat the taniwha. So he went one night looking for the taniwha and when he found the taniwha and he started fighting and won the fight.

Genesis visit

G,day bloggers,

Yesterday our school was very happy and lucky to have Jenny and Jess from Genesis. They taught us all about energy and how our electricity works. Did you know that electricity uses energy ? Well we do actually  use energy for our electricity. So what the ladies did first was that they talked all about energy and electricity . They also told us four natural ways of how they made electricity. The four ways are made out of water, gas, solar power panels - sun and last but not least is wind .Then at the end they picked two children to come up and do an experiment to see how much harder or easier it is to light 2 light bulb's one is the $9 d one the other is the $1 one but the 1 dollar one uses more energy witch is not very good. I hope you enjoyed ! here are some pictures of some children in our class trying the light machine :

Matariki is coming !!

Kia ora bloggers,

Did you know Matariki is coming?!? If you don't know what Matariki is it is a festival held at the sight of the 7 Matariki stars and at dawn : the crescent moon. In the past few weeks we have been looking at a few texts and videos about Matariki. We also did a KWL those 3 letters stand for:

K - what we know.

W-what we want to know.

L- what we have learned.

here it is : I hope you enjoy

Have you ever celebrated Matariki?? If you have what did you do ? Did you like it??

A question that I am still not sure about is what do they do after they find the stars? if you know the answer please leave me a comment.

Nothing ever happens at my house !!

Good afternoon bloggers,

On Tuesday last week the task was to write a poem that is called nothing ever happens at my
house.Our poems were inspired by Lorraine Williams and I would like to share one of my poems with you, here it is :

Nothing Ever Happens

Nothing ever happens at my house.

It’s all so normal.

I’m doing the dishes

Dads mowing the lawn

Mums cooking dinner

Grandads reading the news

A monster is waiting for

Someone to come out and play

That’s three times this week

The cats purring

The dog is eating

Sam is feeling sick

B-o-r-r-r-i-n-g

Nothing ever happens at my house

see you later !!
