Friends Narritive

What my story is all about is a little kid called Rangi and he had a friend called Jason, now Jason was a friend that you could rely on. One time someone lied to Jason and told him that Rangi called him ugly and fat, and Jason said “But why would Rangi say something like that to me” and then Jason said to Rangi “Why would you say that”  and someone told Rangi that Jason said he is poor and stupid then when Rangi heard that well he got really sad and asked Jason “Why he said that” but actually someone lied.

After Rangi arranged a fight to happen at 4:00 o’clock at the park and Jason said he will be there and when this happened they said why would you say that to each other and Jason said, I just said why would you say that and then they heard that someone has spread the rumors.

Then Rangi said can we end this because I don’t want to hurt you and get into heaps of trouble then we won’t be able to be friends again and talk and have fun. Rangi said he was sorry for all the trouble that he went through. Rangi and Jason became friends after the lies and arguments they had.

I think I'm getting better

I think I'm getting better now with all of the smiley faces.

Xtra maths

The best I've done so far

My worst mistake

My worst mistake

My worst mistake was when I slipped off the slide into a pool.
Because I landed on my back and the sound of me hitting the pool didn’t sound so good then my sister looked at my back and it was all red and it stung so badly.

The way I reacted was loud, I screamed very loud that it hurt my sisters ears and she told me to be quiet. After I finished screaming my sister got a ice pack for my back and that hurt because it was cold and it stung against my back.

Only if I didn’t jump off that slide and landed on my back, but still making the mistake that I made was a bad choice also I didn’t think about me slipping and landing on my back. Although my sister was laughing because she said I looked so funny when I landed and that sort of made me laugh to.

Food in my cuture

Food in my Culture


One of the things  my family celebrates are funerals. Where we usually have a funeral is inside a Marae and first we say good morning to everyone inside the Marae so then we wait until the speakers are finished speaking about the person who has passed away, then everyone goes to the person who has passed away and hugs or kisses the person.

At the Marae you have to prepare the food. What you have to do is, first the men have someone dig a hole and put a metal basket in, that is filled with tin foil, then you put the hangi inside the basket and cover it over with a big cloth, because if you don’t air would get into it. When you put it into a hot fire then it will cook the hangi.

Once the hangi is finished we eat it, but first you must tell everyone to come and sit down at the tables and then everyone says a little karakia before eating, then we can finally eat the hangi.

After everybody has finished eating their food that is when the burial will start, and everyone will gather at the cemetery, and watch the burial and then whoever would like to say a few words can come up to the grave and say what they want to say.  After the people are done speaking everyone will sing a Maori song and that is when the funeral is over.

Now I have just told you about what happens at a Marae, if there is a funeral, and how the food is prepared.  I hope that you now know about what happens at a Maori funeral and will get to go to a Maori funeral one day.

The Fence

Fence

This girl is thinking about how great her life is and wishing that it could never end yet she was sad. Why is she sad because she has just been told that she has to move to another country called New Zealand, now she is scared and shy.  The girl is going to remember this place that she has always loved.

She is smelling the beautiful flowers and feeling the wrecked fence and she can see the beautiful shiny sea.  She can hear the birds tweeting and feels sadness all around her as she cries and throws her flower petals over the cliff.

Telling where

Telling Where

L.I. Elaboration

Jack and Annie started through the cloud forest.  They walked around huge trees draped with moss.  They pushed past tall shrubs and leafy plants.

What does the word shrub mean? A wooden plant smaller than a tree, or a trunk.

What is elaboration? Planned with painstaking attention.

Choose one of these to elaborate on by telling ‘where’. At the beach

At the beach or
At the top of the sky tower

At the beach? There are people playing games and kids running around. Seagulls flapping their wings and  eating other peoples food. There are families eating ice cream and swimming in the water with their toys.

Soccer Explanation


Soccer


Soccer is a 90 minute game and it is one of my favorite sport and I will be telling you about soccer and about the rules, famous players and the positions.

Some of the positions in soccer is a  striker, defender, midfielder and left wing, right wing, center back, left midfielder, right midfielder. The position I like to play is a striker. I like to be a striker because I get the ball most of the time and always score for others.

The rules in soccer is slide tackles have to be clean or else if you injure a player you will be in trouble and no handball or else you will get a yellow card. You’re not allowed to jump on others and you can’t be offside. Also if you argue with the referee then you may be in trouble.

Now I will be talking about famous soccer players. One of the best strikers is Lionel Messi because he has scored lots of goals in his career and the teams that he plays for are FC Barcelona and his national team, Argentina. Also a great left wing player is Neymar Jr he is well known in Brazil because he has scored so many perfect and impossible goals. Neymar’s teams that he plays for are FC Barcelona and Brazil.

My favorite soccer player is Cristiano Ronaldo because he  is very skillful and scores most of the goals. The teams that he has played for is Manchester United, Real Madrid and his international team is Portugal and Portugal is very happy for him.

Soccer is a 90 minute game and I have just told you the positions, famous players also the rules. I  hope you have learn’t how to play this game and play it with your friends or family members.

Holiday reading report


Holiday reading report.


In the holidays year seven and eight students at Panmure Bridge school, had to read three novels to improve their reading. They could read anywhere but at school.

In the holidays I didn’t read a book because I had to do chores it was very sore and hard.What I would have read was Captain Underpants and I would have dressed up as him, I would have drawn him but it would have been hard.

My other book that I would have read was The Last Thirteen and it is all about a boy named Sam and when he clicked his fingers everybody dies. He thought it was a nightmare and it was his terrifying reality. He gets kidnapped from school finding out his parents aren’t how he thinks they are. Nothing will ever be the same, again. For the activity that I would have done the dress up as Sam and just worn random clothes.

In the next holidays I would read a book because I need to, and I want to get really better at reading and become top in my classroom and make my parents proud.
