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.

Waitangi Treaty Grounds

On Thursday and Friday last week we went to the Treaty Grounds. At the Treaty Grounds I learnt to use Sculpt gl, Paint 3D, and the Vr (virtual reality), Green screen, stop motion, coding robot and Tinkercad. While we were at the Treaty Grounds we went for a walk down to the waka. While we were down by the waka we were looking at all the designs on the waka. My favorite thing that we did was going on the walk and playing with the VR (VIRTUAL REALITY) When we went on the walk we were looking at all the photos and reading all the things next to the real weapons that the Maori and British people used. Also while we were at the Treaty Grounds we had to do mahi, mahi and more mahi (Work) we went to see this man who does all the carving. I liked the carving hanging up next to the window it was my favorite. At the end of the day the people that were there they were going to come to the our school to show us how to learn more things. That is why I liked going to the Treaty Grounds. We are also going to make a waka and we will be making the four hoe to but on Tinkercad. It was so fun at the Treaty Grounds.

Sea Cleaners

On Tuesday the Sea Cleaners came to our School and told us about the sea creatures and what is happening to them. They told us if we see some rubbish we had to pick it up, so that it does not go into the ocean and then the sea creatures won’t get hurt. The lady told us that they found a dead turtle with so much plastic in side of it, I thought that was sad for the turtle. The lady and the man showed us a video, the video was called Shag Force it was about why not to put plastic or any rubbish in the water or, into lakes because lakes end up going to the ocean when it rains. You should not litter because it is bad for the environment, in the future there will be no more fish or turtles or anything living creatures in the ocean or in lakes.

Nuke's

At our School we had three men from Auckland come to our School and show us how they play the ukulele. One of the men plays the drums and the ukulele while the other men play only the ukulele. Also some of the people from Russell School come to our school to play the ukulele as well. The three men played some songs for us one of the songs was bootstrap and carrots and peas my favourite song they did was bootstrap. After a while we all got up and some people showed us some dance move and we had to copy them. It was so much fun. I really appreciate those men for coming to our school all the way from Auckland.
