Kapa Haka

 Two weeks ago we did a kapa haka. When we got to school then we got our moko and I really wanted to itch my face. Our first song was untina, I was really hoping that I didn't get recorded. Then we did two more songs next we did the haka it was my favorite bit by the end of the haka my arms and chest were so red and sore. Our next song was toia mia then we finished. I was so happy with my performance.   

Ilminster green team!!!

Today we went to the Ilminster to watch the ilminster green team play. The characters were nanny koura,two moko. I was really excited. 

First on was nanny kaura (character) it was night time in the water and the two moko going of to bed but they wanted a story. But they keep on complaining then nanny koura finally says yes. Then she said what story do you want how nanny koura saved the world from the aliens rubbish and they picked that one. The story started by four kids went to the skate ramp and one of the kids said i'll do a backflip on my skateboard then he chickened out. Then the girl gave them some lollies and the rubbish from them they just chuked on the ground with all the other stuff.

 Next some aliens came from trash plant and were putting their rubbish there because trash plant was full so there are putting at the skate and the left there use robot that worked perfectly fine. Then the kids came back and saw all the aliens rubbish and were angry and tried to move all of it but they got electrocuted and couldn't move it. Rustile rustile there was a movement in the metal and rubbish out popped a robot, the kids asked how he was and was the aliens robot and that this is there new trash dump. Then the kids asked if the robot could call their master and the robot said yes. Next the mother-ship came with the master and she was angry and she asked what was going on. The kids said about the rubbish and it is not nice to just chuck rubbish and litter but they were littering all ready littering. Then the aliens didn't care and they just left. 

The kids didn't know what to do then so they went to nanny koura to ask her when they got there she didn't want to hear it, because when the children litter all the rubbish from them goes into the ocean and rivers so I won't help you. All the children were really sad but they weren't going to give up that easy so they pleased and pleased until nanny koura said yes. Then the kids went back the skate park to get the robot for the second time and then the robot called his master this time though she was really,really, really angry but when she saw nanny koura she instantly gave up for some reason I don't no why I think because she thought nanny koura was her master!!! Then they took it and left and now the kids and the aliens won't litter again.                            

Variety of texts

 In our wl3 workshop group we focused on variety of texts. We had to read a book and say what the text is.

The book I was reading was, The disappearing tiger the text was procedure because it said what you need and how to make it and pictures of it to make it not as complicated. I also knew because it had bullet points and imperative verbs like diagram, between,parallel and centimeters.

El3 SpaG group word clouds

 For my El3 SpaG workshop we did high,medium and low modality words, but we were focusing on high modality word because our speeches are in the weeks and we have to persuade our class. Here is a picture other all the words I got.

 Hamanatua walk

Yesterday we walked to the start of Hamanatua, it was our green gold day there were people at our school too see if we were a green gold school. So some people from our school had to give then a tour of the school. We left at 9:30am first we had to walk to Lisner st then we had to go through a farm with big bulls. Clang clang went the gate as we opened it when we started going down the muddy hill it was really slippery and some people fell over. 

Next we had to cross a river in our shoes or gumboots it was too long to jump so I just walked through and my shoes got soaked. Then we had to walk up a hill witch was hard in wet shoes and wet socks. We then had morning tea. After we had morning tea we had to keep on walking. An hour later we finally reached our destination or Koka Rozie thought so. We had lunch there, I was so happy that we got to sit down. Then we went back, it was a hard but fun day.    

 Jean Batten day

Yesterday we had a Jean Batten day, were you need to bring you reselince if you want to finish it. We Got a clue it was so hard it took us half an hour but we finally found it and got our next clue. It was saying words and the letter starting the word they write down to make a big word, but we were on the other side of the hall so we had to shout. 

Next we made paper planes that Jean flew I got the Gull. We did tests to see which plane was better Gull or Moth. The three tests were distance and two accurate. One was throwing our planes through a hula hoop with balloons around it and you can't hit the balloons and the last one was hitting the mayday target and distance. The Moth won the distance and I don't know who won going through the hoop and the Gull won the mayday target.

Then we made toothbrush plane that didn't fly but, it did move which was pretty cool. Our hardest step to make it was striping two wires, we also have battres to make it move. Striping the wires was hard because if you cut to much it will cut the wires, and that's what koka Ngaire did so we could not make one. My friend Jaxon came third because we did a race with the peoples who worked. It was the BEST day ever!!!

THE END  

 Cross country

Today we did cross country it was really fun.  First we had to walk there I walked with Hunter and Tre.  We do our cross country at Okitu and we have to walk 2000 meters witch is 2km. When we got there and koka Nolin said"That boy's and girl's run together" I was so confused. 

Tweet went the whistle we all ran off the starting line I ran as fast as I could. I was so tired on my second lap but in the end I came 3rd place it was my first placing in cross country. I WAS SO HAPPY!!!

 Lockdown

 Chess tournament

Last week we did a chess tournament, we play 7 games each. When the guy put up the draws everyone went crazy because they wanted to see who they were facing.  When I went to where we play I was so nervous, after five minutes I check mated the girl I was facing. After my game me and hunter played a game where you have a horse and pawns are on the rest of the squares. The horses can only move in a L shape.

 On my first try I had twelve pawns left, then Hunter went and got I think he got eighteen left , then I had another turn, but this time I was determined to win and if I did I would get a badge. After I played I was so angry because I had 7 left.

I won my next game, well I was waiting I tried to guess how much horses were in a really big horse, I guessed 123 because it was so heavy. I won the game because I checkmated her with my horse so I got a badge. By the end I got in the top team and won 5 out of 7 games. 

The End

Quick-write (persuade your family to get a robot)

My quick-write

This is my quick for this week I have to try to persuade you to get a robot, which would be pretty cool.    

Persuade your family to get a robot 

I think we should get a robot, do you think you need a robot? I think I should get a robot because it could do chores for you and make breakfast and dinner as well. You could also ask it stuff and it would give you advice. It would make you so much less to worry about. A robot could also drive you to places. You could sleep and don't have to drive! How amazing is that. 

Quick-write

 This is my quick write for this week. It is about places to visit in the north island.

The engine roared as we drove to cooks cove walkway it was my first time walking it. My car group was Stormur,Hunter, Millie, Te Atawhai and Rori, we went with his mum.  

 When we got there we found out our walking groups in my walking group there was Cory,Neko,Rio, Aliva and our adult was Nathan's mum. I puffed and puffed as we walked up the first hill to the beckon of light, it was hard to walk up the hill.

When we were walking Neko was picking up poop and putting it down his t-shirt and in his hat it was disgusting. When we got to the look out it was so cool and you could see so far. When we got there was a big hole in the wall and we walk through it, it was so cool. We sat down and ate then we walked back. When we got back my legs were so tired.    

Our Holiday 

This week we did this thing where you have a certain amount of money and you have to plan your own holiday. We started off with 5,000 but you couldn't go anywhere with that so it moved up to 10,000 and the same thing happened so it moved up to 20,000  and that was enough. I picked to go to Fiji  Navini Island every year but not this year because of covid 19, I was doing it with Jaxon, Nalu and me. Here is a link if you want to see it: Our Holiday

My Speech

 This is my speech for 2020 it is about game changers my game changer was Pele.

INTRODUCTION At least 5 quality sentences outlining what you will be talking about	Hi my name is Harry, today I will be talking game changers  my game changer is Pele.I picked Pele because he was famous for soccer because of his skills,  did you know that Pele invented The Bicycle Kick which is really hard to do and because he was so famous. He retired in 1977 after scoring  1281 goals and playing 1363 games.The world began to watch more of Pele’s games and pay attention when a 17-year-old Pele scored 6 goals in 1958 World Cup, and leading the Brazil National Team to victory. Brazil won its first World Cup that year.
PARAGRAPH 1 Your first idea Minimum of 5 quality sentences	Reason 1 is about Pele’s skills, Pele’s skills are game changers because when people saw his skills and tricks so they got inspired. They wanted to try soccer so that they got to do that. He also won 3 FIFA World Cups and won 1 Ballon d’ors and got 77 goals in 91 games. He was voted athlete of the century by the international Olympic Committee in 1999, he became the youngest player to win a world cup at the age of 17, which is really hard to get that young .
PARAGRAPH 2 Your second idea Minimum of 5 quality sentences	Is about how Pele used his fame to reduce child poverty. He Grew Up in Poverty, which if you don’t know what it means you don’t have lots of money. Young Pele used to polish shoes to help contribute to the family income. Pele helped reduce child poverty because he knows what it feels like and he does want it to happen to other children.
PARAGRAPH 3 Your third idea Minimum of 5 quality sentences	In 1967 he and his team traveled to Nigeria, where a war was happening. But everyone wanted to watch the GOAT (GOAT means Greatest Of All Time)  play so they stopped the war for 48-hours, so  they could watch the game. When Pele was awarded the UNESCO  champion of sport he said there is no better way of spreading  goodwill than through sport.
CONCLUSION Retell your 3 main ideas and how they link to Hauora Again - 1 or 2 paragraphs.	In conclusion It doesn’t matter even if you aren't a soccer fan, I am sure you will agree that anyone who tries to reduce child poverty, can stop a war for 48-hours and is recognised as a champion of sport is a true game changer. When people think of the best football player in Brazil, let alone in the world and history , they think of Pelé. Oh and he is also The GOAT!!!

Pihitia Station

On Tuesday we went to Pihitia station it was so fun, we went on a bus to get there I sat with Hunter on the way  we were so excited, it took like 10 minutes to get there when we got there and hoped out of the bus we split into groups with people. We went to the bucher first and saw the man cut up a big sheep it was gross he also cut the pig into chops and ribs. Next  we went to the cow to see where milk came from and what products it makes, me and Hunter got whip cream it was so good and we got to pat the cow it was so soft and fluffy it kept put its tongue in its nose. After that we wayed the sheep and saw the dog calls chase the sheep then we saw a sheep get shawn they used the wool to make clothes then had lunch. Then saw the pest traps it was so cool and the pests were cats,stoats,possums and rats.
