Maui and the Sun #2

We also used the story Maui and the Sun for our writing task. We had to use the 5 W's and H to create 6 paragraphs that described the different parts of the story. Here is my story 

Maui and the Sun

For reading today we were assigned to watch a video about the Maori myth - Maui and the Sun. We then had to find as much words as we could that we weren't quite sure of and give the meaning. I had a couple of Maori words included in my list. Afterwards we used only 17 words to paraphrase the story. Here is my reading work.

That was SUMMER!

One of our writing lessons was to write a poem based on the poem  "That was Summer" by Marci Ridlon. The poem was about using your senses to write about moments that had happened in your Summer. I really enjoyed this task and I think I came out with an amazing poem. Hopefully you do as well. here is my poem about Summer.

Student Leaders Assembly

Today was the first ever assembly of 2018. Every term the student leaders will be hosting the first assemblies. Hopefully during our next assembly their will be more leaders as we still have the house captains to be announced. Us leaders had to introduce our self and tell the school a little bit abut ourselves. It was very nerve racking as it was our first time doing an assembly as a student leadership team. Anyways, here are some photos!

My Pepeha

Today Miss Tupou assigned us to do a pepeha. A pepeha is a way to introduce our self except in Maori. We included our name, family, mountain and lots more. Here is my pepeha of 2018! Enjoy!

Bring it on 2018!

A new year!

A new start!

A new beginning!

A new journey!

A new adventure!

Now that 2017 has come to an end, 2018 has just begun.

School has already started and we have already been up to a lot of stuff. More learning, sports and events that are soon to come! I can't wait to see what 2018 will throw at us and I hope to make the most of it as it is my last year but I also can't wait to move on to College. 

So, 2018 here I come!

Team Building Activity!

Today is the first day of school so we need to know how to work as a team with our new classmates. Miss Tupou gave each group spaghetti and marshmallows. We need were given the challenge to create the tallest tower using those items. It was very difficult as our tower had fallen apart in the last minute! Anyways, here are some photos!
