Author Visit

On Thursday the 21st of May there was an author named Adell Broadbent, she came to our school and talked to us about what we could be or what we could do when we are older. She said that when she was young there was a house and all of the curtains were down and there was a shed at the end of the long driveway she told that to us because it was in the first book she wrote and she wants us to have more experience so that we can put all of that experience into our writing. She also said that her and her friends dared each other to run up the driveway and touch the shed but no one did. When she got older she became a librarian then she started to create some books for kids and adults. She has been making books for 15 or so years she said, I think that she is really busy because she was a librarian and then she wrote some books, I also think that Adell Broadbent is really helpful. We were learning about books and what books are the best to use for older people. She also made a website called what book next.com. I think that I could ask some questions about her like why did you want to be an author.

The Kiwi and the Ferret

When Stella from Bay Bush Action came to Paihia School she talked
to us about what was happening to the Kiwi and all the eggs that the
Kiwi are laying. All the pests in the forest are killing and eating the Kiwi
and Kiwi eggs. Everyone in Te Ngahere has been creating an animation
about what they think is happening to the Kiwi and Kiwi eggs.
My animation was called the Kiwi and the Ferret. It is about the
Ferret eating the Kiwi and then getting stuck in a Ferret trap.
I think that I did really well with my animation. We were learning
about the stoats, ferrets, rats and weasels these are some of the
pests that are killing our animals

Disco

On Wednesday the PTA designed a disco for everyone at Paihia School in the Whare. Some of the year 1-4’s went at 5.00pm to 6.15pm and then it was the year 5-8’s to go into the whare for our disco, before we went into the whare we had to pay $2.00 and my favorite song that came on was old town road. I was also running around chasing my friends. At the disco there was food, lollies and drinks. Me and my friends got paint on our faces, I got two korus on my face they were green. I had two lines down my eyes they were red. At the disco there was a black light and a disco ball. My favorite thing about the disco was hanging with my friends and all the lights because they looked amazing. The black light was amazing because it made the face paint glow.
