We also had to create a video based on our country. This is our video

THE BEST POEM EVER

This week in Moana My writing group had to write their own peom inspired by James K Baxter

The town was usual enough, it had

An ocean, a ladder, a dairy, a sky and even a huge wharf I always went to.

My sisters, my cousins and I did what family do-Jumped of the tall wharf, made sand castles, dodged the sand balls, walked like mouse through the mad family trying to get to the food, ran up and down, waved goodbye

Doing nothing important

Written by Kohine

Inspired by James K Baxter

We used the first and last senteces from James K Baxter and also got an idea from his peom to add in 5 nonus and 5 strong verbs.

My poem reminds me of Tolaga bay and it makes me feel happy.

Actions Speack Louder than Words

Tuesday at Wainui Beach our whole school had a clean up day and we called it Actions Speak Louder that Words. Each class did something to help tidy our school and community. I got to go and help the room nine children, we did mulching in our schools medicine garden and made kawa kawa tea. The kawa kawa tea tased like spiced mint. Have a look at  us mulching and making kawa kawa tea.

At lunch time the whole school walked down to the Hanamatua stream to have lunch. On the way back we walked along the beach doing a clean up. Here are some photos of us eating and walking along the beach.

Times table fun

In Moana on Mondays and Tuesdays after morning tea we play this game that make learning times tables fun. You earn and collect trophys by takeing test on a serten times table. Medals and diplomas are the two diffrent trophys you can get . Diplomas are sheets that tell you what times tables you have completed but you have to finishes a test. For example if you were practising your 7 times tables in your test it will show a certain amout of your 7 times table. To earn medals you must complete a series of tests. There's also two diplomas that are different the big diploma and little diploma. They both are different because little diplomas only test you on your 1,2,3,4,5, and 7 times tables. Also big diplomas show all you times tables. Take a look at my big and little diplomas.

Birds of the Amazon

In Moana 3 we look at some videos showing us the birds that live in the Amazon beacuse we are reading a book thats based in the Amazon Jungle the Explorer by Katherine Rundell. Then we had a task to create our own birds of the Amazon. We made our own birds but we had to make it look like it would live in the Amazon. Birds in the Amazon are very colourful and bright. This is what my bird turned out as.
