HANGI

On the far field on Friday near the far corner on the right we had a hangi. The smell was good, when I ate it it tasted even better. I ate it all up. Next my teacher took me to the bin. Next I went to get my hat then I ran back to the field. After eating a fire engine came and squirted the hot metal. When the fire engine had gone it lifted up the metal.

On Friday we had a celebration for the Green Gold Environmental award. Also we had a hangi on the far field. The food smelt like chicken. When we ordered a meal we went and sat with our friends. It tasted delicious. I want a hangi again!

At the hangi I tried my food. It was lovely. I had pork. Then our teachers took us back to our classrooms to do maths. Well I thought maths but no we were having lunch. I liked the hangi. It was my favourite part of the day. I hope we will have another one!

We started at 5.00 in the morning. Then at lunch time it was prepared for us to eat. We waited with our plates and cutlery. We got served. We sat down to eat. I ate a chicken drumstick. It smelt delicious. Then the fire truck came. I felt so full after the hangi.

W.I.L.F. one simile, adjectives and 4 sentences



My Mum By Millie

My Mum is like a star
She sparkles at night when she kisses me.
Her lips shine.
Her face glows.
When she comes out on the deck it looks like she is flying.


My Mum by Grace

My Mum is like a love bird.
Her back is like a tail.
When I hold her hand she feels soft.
I love my Mum so much.
She's very beautiful.


My Mum by Lachlan

My Mum is as beautiful as a butterfly.
When my Mum goes out side she sparkles in the sky.
When she tucks me in at night she is beautiful.

My Mum by Theo

My Mum is like a racing car.
Shes as bright as a racing car lights.
Shes as fast as a racing car.
Shes cool like a racing car.
Shes as loud as a racing car.

My Mum by Thomas

My Mum is like a star.
She twinkles.
She cooks heaven food.
Her smiles shines.
She glows through the night.

Reading

Our teacher is reading the Twits By Roald Dahl to us. We are enjoying listening to all the tricks the Twits get up to!

Kapahaka

Once a week for 5 weeks the junior syndicate are very lucky to have Kapahaka with Mr Chadwick.
The photos show what happened this week. Some of the senior boys taught the junior boys how to do the haka. The girls learnt a Maori song alongside using a poi. Each group got to share in front of others. Both the teachers and students enjoyed watching one another!

Sunflowers

Vincent Van Gogh

This week we have been looking at Vincent Van Goghs Sunflowers and talking about his painting style. Grace brought along a book from home which had many of Vincent Van Goghs paintings in them. The students enjoyed looking at these.
We decided to paint our own to use for our calendar art.
We hope you buy a calendar and our artwork brightens up your days!

Rarotongan Flowers

We drew some Rarotongan flowers using two pastel colours which complimented one another. We blended the two colours together. We used white crayon and green dye to draw leaves and then attached them to our flower.

Writing

We have been innovating text books. We innovated Where the Wild Things are. We had to use adjectives, nouns and verbs to add interest to our writing. We are also learning how to vary the way we begin and join sentences.

Where the Wild Things Are by Renee

It was a sunny Sunday and I was in my bedroom because I broke Mum's vacuum cleaner. Suddenly my room turned into a jungle and then there was a swing. I went on the swing and it was so much fun. I jumped off the swing and landed on a tree branch. I jumped of the tree branch and then I was on a big butterfly. I went on the big butterfly and it could not hurt me but.... it could fly very high! The big butterfly landed on the ground. The big butterfly flew away. Next I saw hundreds and thousands of butterflies everywhere in the sky. I got a net and caught a very pretty butterfly and I said let the butterfly party begin. One little butterfly danced. Suddenly I was in my bed and there waiting for me was my lunch and it was still hot.

Alex tamed them with a magic trick. Let the party begin. The witches did magic. Alex was lonely he missed some one very much so he got back in his Jet Plane and he flew back. When he got home he saw his dinner and it was still hot!



Where the Wild Things are by Tom

It was a stormy Monday night when Tom was sent to his room for hitting his sister with hard rocks. In his bedroom a forest grew and grew until.... there were no holes in Tom's bedroom. He ran until he came across the biggest lake in the world. Tom went on water skies to a island. There on the island were monsters. The monsters showed their horrible claws. The monsters thought for a minute to make Tom king of all the monsters. Tom said the monster dance begins. Tom sneaked on to his water skis to his forest where his dinner was still hot.


Where the Wild Things are by Millie

It was a sunny morning on Sunday. My Mum said "go out side Millie". "No". I started throwing soccer balls at my Mum. I got sent to my room. When I woke up my room turned into a palace. A whale came I hopped on the whale. The whale took me to a island. I met mermaids. They splashed and turned on the rocks. They made me Queen of the mermaids. I said let the party begin. The mermaids splashed and turned on the rocks and flipped and rolled. I said Stop. I sent them to bed with out dinner. I did not want to be there I said I want to go home. I saw my dinner and it was still hot!
