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.
