George Nepia Written by Peter and Ruth Millett Illustrations by Raewyn Whaley.

My favourite part about this picture book is when Tony’s grandad was reading a book to Tony and Tony took his grandads spot when he met Geroge Nepia. George Nepia was explaining to Tony about why Geroge was into rugby and how he got taught the spiral kick. 

Conservation Week

 Rain racing to wash out plastic into te moana.

As Ika we struggle 

With the human community

They pollute our moana

We want to swim like we used to

We get pulled to the ocean floor 

shiny sand turned into a dark palace of plastic

Ika are strangled 

We cry or fly to fish heaven 

Painful plastic in our stomachs

The ocean’s a stage for plastic

A quarter of ngå ika are dead

Moana’s floors covered in parahitiki (plastic)

The Ugly Duckling Reading Challenge

Graphic Novel - read one of the graphic novels from the selection provided. Write a paragraph about  your favourite part.

The Ugly Duckling Written by Hans Christian Andersen.

My favourite part of this graphic novel was when  

this old man picked him up from a frozen lake and took

the duck to his house with two children.

The children ended up taking the

duck next to a fire to warm up.

Once he had warmed up the children were happy but the

duck got scared and tried flying and made a huge mess in the house.

Then an old lady

came and asked who made this mess and from the picture it

looked like the kids were pointing at the duck. Then the lady wacked him out

of the house.

Matariki Star

This week our class made stars for Matariki. To make this star we needed to cut out a circle out of cardboard. Then we had used a protractor to find 30 centimetres. Then we had done added half a centre metre out from the 30 centre metre line we added with the protractor. then we cut to the half centre metre. Once we had done that we taped string to the centre of the our circle and wrapped the string around the cuts.

SSR

Poetry - read at least ten poems and Write a paragraph about your favourite one.

My Favourite poem was We Have Come Home Written by Lenrie Peters.

The reason why I liked this poem was because of the words she had used

to make it sad and happy at the same time.

Beach Cookout

On Wednesday room 8 went to the beach behind the Marist rugby ground. We went to the beach for a cook out to fill in our out door activities and to have a good lunch. My group had Breeana, Lily, Nevaeh and me of course. Our group made burgers and smoors for the dessert. To build the fire we needed to collect tinder and kindling. For our group it was easy to find kindling and tinder. To get our kindling and tinder there was a bunch of sticks behind our group. When we went over there and collected the stuff we were able to start our fire. We used matches to start our fire. I brought the meat patties, salt and cooking oil. Lily brought the buns and the precooked chips as well as the frying pan. Nevey brought the marshmellows and the biscuits. Breeana brought chocolate and plastic plates. Our lunch was great, I would definitely have it again. Our adult that had helped us was Kelly Shaw, Lily's mum.
