If I won lotto I would buy 3 porches 1 for Me 1 for Mum and 1 for Dad. A house for me to live in. And then spend a whole lot of the money on Beyblades and Pokemon cards. then the rest on a Beyblade launcher which is 8 dollars.

Kepapa Huarākua

Kepapa Huarākua

What I liked about making them is peeling the banana. What I didn't like about making the Kepapa Huarākua was sitting there doing nothing. what I could prove on is Today Ngahere made kepapa Huarakāu using a pukipuki called kepapa huarākau i'm going to tell you the steps and some pictures.


1.Tuatahi horoia ngā kerepe (first wash the grapes)
2.Tuarua tīhoretia ngā āporo ngā hua kiwi (peel the apples and kiwifruit)
3. ngā panana me ngā ārani (and the bananas and apples)
4. Tuatoru tapahia ngā huarākau kia iti (cut up the fruit small)
5. Tuawhā werohia ngā huarākau me ngā rare kōpungapunga (put the fruit and marshmallows on the stick)
5. Tino reka ngā kepapa (the kebabs are really delicious!) 

6. now you can eat the fruit kababs.

The rules of the world cup 9's

The rules of the world cup 9's
There are only 9 players on the field at once.
There are 9-minute halves and the half time is 2-minutes.
You can do a 40/20 or 20/40.
There is a bonus zone where if you score there you get 5 points instead of 4.
Instead of conversions on the tee, you have to do your conversions by dropkicking the ball.
When you start a half you will kick off a tee but after that, you just kick off by dropkicks.
After you have scored you when you've done the conversion you will kick to the other team instead of receiving the ball.

thank you for reading

Katelyn's reflection

Reflection - Week One - Term 4

Kia ora everyone this is my reflection for week one.

What I have enjoyed this week: I have enjoyed doing athletics because long jump and high jump were soooooooo fun and because I qualified in both of them!!! I am so proud of myself. :) I have also enjoyed playing with my friends because we all made up the game and we try to make it funnier.

What I found difficult: I found maths challenging because it was different and harder than usual and we had ordered fractions. Here is a picture.

What I have learnt this week: I have learnt that some people think the earth is flat but it is not. What shape do you think the earth is. Write your answer down in the comments below. I will comment back and say what the shape of the earth.

What I want to work on next week: I want to work on space and learn how the milky way was created because I like the milky way chocolate.

By Katelyn
Hope you enjoyed. :)

My Nature Story- Slade

Last year for my ninth birthday me and my dad and his friend went hunting.
We did heaps of river crossings. We went all the way down by Rapahoe. 20
minutes past Rapahoe. And we went up the giant mountain to get a good view
of the stuff and then we had to go all the way back down. We saw some
goats. While we were going for the goats I lost one of my shoes crossing
the river. We stayed the night in the bush in a tent. I liked going out
hunting because it was cool and i got to do heaps of river crossings and i
didn’t have to carry anything. When we went hunting and we stayed over we
woke up in the middle of the night and their was a deer outside our tent.
Then we caught it and I couldn’t go back to sleep so i walked around with
the dog and thought I was going to get lost but the dog found us. It took
us like 12 hours to walk back and we had to walk through this big giant
creek. I touched a plant that was really prickly and it got all over my
legs and was stinging the whole way back. We also caught another goat and I
got to hold its heart. While we were going back we went the wrong way and I
slid down the big mountain and had dirt all over me. And then we left and
went home.
I am going to help the environment by using beeswax wraps and composting.
And by trying to use less plastic. And every week we have made it so all
the classes go out and pick up heaps of rubbish. We then take a photo of it
to show what we have found.

 

Aaron's Great Pacific Garbage Patch Writing

we have been learning to put information( not too much) into the paragraphs. I enjoyed it because we got to go onto a whole bunch of sights

We are the problem of the great pacific garbage patch (g.p.g.p.) we all use rubbish unless we get it fresh from the fields or wherever you get them. The g.p.g.p is huge and scientists (or people who want to be a part of the cleanup) have been looking at ways to remove the g.p.g.p




Scientists have estimated that in 2050 the weight of plastic in the great pacific garbage patch will weigh more than the amount of fish there are in the world. The great pacific garbage patch weighs more than three statues of liberty and enough plastic to make 50 great pyramids of Giza. If you were to try to pick up the hole pacific garbage patch you would never succeed because there are more people using rubbish and more plastic entering the great pacific garbage patch than the one person picking up estimated one to two hundred pieces per minute, but if it didn't work like that then it would take over 300 years.




The biggest garbage dump is not on land at all, it is actually the Great Pacific garbage patch is as big as 2 Texas. The Great Pacific garbage patch is 10 m deep and lots of fish and marine animals and life.

The Great Pacific garbage patch is 3 times the size of France and Hawaii is the neighbor of gpgp It was only discovered and 1993. The gpgp is made up of rubbish and old waste that has washed into the ocean.





The Great Pacific garbage patch is made out of Rubbish and large objects and the Boat men Think it is an island. The rubbish comes from the whole world.

 

What does it do to the animals It is killing animals Because they are eating the Rubbish they are getting stuck in it. The poor Turtles Plastic bag is jellyfish And eat it and die

Once there was a team of dogs but they were all lost until there was this rich dog that came out of nowhere, he had a car a castle with 40 bedrooms and bathrooms.
He was so rich he had a lamobodog-e, the latest dog toys and a ferr-oge.
His favourite drink is dog-e-dwine and dog-e cola.
And his Friend dog was sitting in another lamobodoge sipping dog-e cola.and his name was Woof.
The racoons are coming the alert dog said on their ginourmous tower some of the racoons had guns swords shields and even crossbows

Liam's Drop Everything and Write

The Random story

Once there were 2 little kids named Tom and Bob
 They didn't like their friends because they used Tom and Bob. they called them bullies, one day the bullies chased Tom and Bob down a large creek and they heard stories about the creek. There was a story about this lonely kid and he was sad and he you down the creek and he never came out again. But Tom and Bob had no choice and they went down the creek they were scared to go down in the creek but they did to get away from the bullies. They got lost and they were scared they needed to get home but they could not find a way out. They tried and tried but they could not find a way out. But suddenly they saw a shadow,
Tom was shaking the shadow look like a tree but it was moving. The tree monster shot a root at Tom and Bob the tree monster grabbed them and threw them on the ground. The tree monster doesn't want then it is home, Tom and Bob tried to get away but the tree monster was angry and did not let them go, and Tom and Bob were never seen again.

Double Entry Journal- Kohen

Double Entry Journal

In the text it says….	My connection….
He created handstands	I can do one it is hard
Crazy ideas	Jumped off the roof of my house
Doesn’t open the door if someone is there	Want to play my ps4
Soccer	I did play soccer
It’s not the time to remind him	Sometimes I don’t remind people
But I’m tired	I’m pretty tired sometimes

W.A.L.T make connections. For this week we have been reading a book called The duel why I like the book is because the story is of space and because of the old man that pretty much invented everything. Why I don't like the story is that the house looks scary.  

Zero Waste

zero waste

Today at school we were checking on 'Zero Waste'

We checked the rubbish bins in the classrooms and the staff room

We discovered that Taio Room was not very good at 'Zero Waste'

We took the rubbish out and put it in our classroom. 

We divided it into compost, recycling, and rubbish 

The compost was put in the compost pocket.

The recycling was put it in the bin. 

The Principal's bin was pretty good with Zero Waste

The other rooms, Pepeke, Manu and Awa were pretty good also. 

So overall our school did a a pretty good job at Zero Waste. 

Our class is the best at Zero Waste.
