My hometown and why it is special

I live in New Zealand, but my hometown is a special place my hometown is Auckland in the North Island of New Zealand. Auckland has lots of relaxing places like cafes, parks, restaurants, spas, hotels and motels. Even though Auckland has lots of relaxing places it also is a very busy city. I am Auckland and Auckland is me, Auckland is such a big part of me. I love Auckland.

The legend of Aotearoa.

According to Maori mythology most of Aotearoa was brought together when Maui, one of the powerful demigods, made a magical hook for fishing. This hook was made out of his grandmothers jawbone. That very day Maui went out to fish, he hopped in a little wooden boat and started to paddle. He went all the way into the middle of the Pacific Ocean. In that very spot he caught a fish. This fish was the South Island of Aotearoa. In this honour the North Island is sometimes called Te Ika   E Maui or Maui’s fish and the South Island is sometimes called Te Waka E Maui or Maui’s waka.

Drone Flying

Running to the field in excitement  after morning tea we followed the drone. We were going to do a drone race and it was boys against girls, only 20 people did this activity. The drone was flone on the field and the bike track.  We did this activity because we wanted to get better at skills and so we could have fun. Once we got to the field we set everything up and then we sat down quickly so we could try out the drone. Mr Moran shouted “ Shayna and Kamryn come on you are going to fly the drone.” Mr Moran demonstrated how to fly and what to do when flying the drone. He said that you have to fly it all the way to the christmas box and then spin the drone around and come back and land the drone. After that Shayna had a turn. She did the directions that were said and she got a time os 46 seconds. Then Kamryn had a turn then I did and Finau had a turn. Some other people had a turn, but I can’t really remember. Then it was the boys turn and nearly all of the boys got a turn, but they were quite good at it.  When we were finished we cleaned up and went inside. When we got inside we started to write our recount about flying the drone.

My favourite part was sitting in the shade under the tree waiting for the other people to finish flying the drone.

Highlights of 2018

The first thing that I chose was my hail picture because it was so cool and the hail was like snowballs because when you threw them they smashed just like snowballs. The second picture that I chose was my art work because I had lots of fun and it was cool to learn my cultures art. The last picture that I chose was ice block day I chose this because the ice block was so good and I really enjoyed the strawberry flavour.

My dream job

These are 3 of my dream jobs, well these are all of my dream jobs. The first job that 

I ever dreamed of doing was standing in the court room and helping the person that I am working with and hoping that I will win. The second job that I wanted to be was a pilot because, I love going in the air and looking out the window. The last job that I would like to be is a you tuber  because it would be really fun and I would like to share fun activity's with people around the world.

Thank you Tip Top!

Last week we got ice blocks from the company Tip Top. Every single class and person in my school got one and some other schools got some to. They were so yum! Thank you so much Tip Top.

Classroom battleships interview

What was your favourite part of our Classroom Battleships?



My favourite part was when we got to move the classroom around because we have never done that before and it was so fun.



What strategies did you use, why?



I hid close to the table because when the boys throw it hard I won’t get hit because I am close to the table and the pillows were far away.



What was the funniest thing that happened?



The funniest thing that happened was that I got hit by the big granade (bean bag) in the face and everybody was laughing at me.



What was the most challenging part of our Classroom Battleships?



Trying to throw the grenade without standing up.



What piece of furniture was the best to use, why?



For me it was the table because it was hard and you couldn’t knock it down.



What would you do differently next time?



Move around and not stay in the same spot.















Write a short script about how Classroom Battleships is played, remember to explain important rules. This should only be a paragraph long.






The first thing you do is split up into teams, then you move the classroom around until you like how it is. After that you start the challenge. First rule is that you are not aloud to stand up when you are throwing the grenade and you are not aloud to move around once you throw the grenade.

Letter to my future teacher

Year 4/5 Classroom Teacher

Pt England School

Auckland

New Zealand

Dear Future Teacher,The first thing that I would like to tell you is that I dislike working in teams and I I have gotten better at it, but I would prefer to work by myself because it is easier. I’ve always loved to help the teacher with cleaning and sorting things out, when I am sad I like to clean because I just like it. I don’t like to play outside unless it is a game like musical statues. I won’t seem shy, but I get shy when I am asked to go to other classes to ask the teacher something. The last thing about me is that I love reading and I am very good at it.



Love From Kiarah.
