Waitangi Celebration

On Tuesday Paihia School walked to Waitangi for Matariki. We made manu aute, we planted plants and we also played games. My favorite game was the blindfold game. Alexis and I were competing against each other. We had to be blindfolded with a shell, you have to shake the shell for the other player can hear you then they can try and tag you. Alexis tagged me first then straight after that I tagged her.  Waitangi was so Fun.

Fidget Spinner

A few weeks ago Te Ngahere and Te Maunga made fidget spinner art. We were learning to use all of the space as we could, on the A3 piece of paper. We also had to use crayon and dye to do our fidget spinners. We also did a fidget spinner story, my goal was to use the correct structure.


Here is my story!!!

I am talking to you today because I think that fidget spinners should not be allowed in the classroom or even at school.

Firstly, they can distract you in class and they can affect other people in their learning, then teachers will take the fidget spinner off you and then you might not get it back, our teachers say that they will give it to their nephews.

Secondly, somebody else might want a go with your fidget spinner and then they might break your fidget spinner then you might get upset.

Thirdly, if you are playing with a fidget spinner then you put it in your bag somebody might get your fidget spinner and then they might keep it.

For all these reasons I think that kids should be not allowed fidget spinners at Paihia School or in the classroom.

The Yummy Ice Cream

Two weeks ago Te Ngahere got to make Ice Cream because all of Te Ngahere got their learning plans finished in 10 minutes. We had to have buddy my buddy was my best friend Alexis. After we made the ice cream we got to eat it it was yum. We also had to write a recount about making ice cream my goal was to use metaphors.

Tim Tipene

Last Thursday an author Tim Tipene came to Paihia School. I really enjoyed Tim Tipene telling us about some of his childhood, some of his childhood was so funny. I have read two of his books they are called Taming the Taniwha and  Hinemoa Te Toa.

Amazing Presentation About America

This is my Presentation about America. My group was learning to find information about the world around us. We knew we were Successful  because we used the Success Criteria. liked how my Group Taleisha, Ezia and me worked collaborative. I liked looking up the information on the Internet.

Magical Forest with the Beast Animation

Once upon a time there was a magical forest with all sorts of Magical Creatures that were really friendly. But there was a Beast that was a really big spider that eats humans and all of the Magical and friendly Creatures.

One day the Beast had a plan to try and eat all of the Humans and the friendly Creatures. The beast never comes out at day. So the Beast decided to go to the magical Creatures and the Humans homes in the day.

The next day he went out to their homes he saw so many magical creatures he could not believe it, he ran and started to eat some of the magical creatures. Then superman came out of nowhere and killed the beast and brought back some of the live’s that the beast killed.

The friendly animals moved to a different magical forest and the humans moved to America and they were for ever safe from the Beast.

I created a fiction character and a setting writing to go with my narrative. My goal in my narrative writing was to use the structure and descriptive words. After that we made an animation that is about our narrative. My animation was about a spider called the Beast that eats the humans and magical creatures.

Surf Life Saving

On Wednesday we went to the beach for the surf life saving program. There was three lifeguards called Liam, Sam and Toobs. They taught us the ten rules about life saving. It was a really fun day.
