Arabic Pattern

This is my Arabic pattern with my name in English and in Arabic. We did this for our Arabic language week.

Matariki

On Friday the 18 we had a matariki celebration. We made kites and at the end of the assembly the whole school could fly their kites. It wasn't much fun because there wasn't any wind coming, so it just dragged behind us.   

Instructions:
First we cut out the shape of a kite. 
Then we put the sticks across each other and tape it.Then we put a tail at the end of the kite.After that we could decorate it. 

Please leave a comment, and hope you enjoy.

How To Cut Harakeke Leaves

If you are cutting Harakeke leaves you have to cut certain leaves. You can't cut the top leave because it is the baby and the other two on each sides of it because that's the parents. Then you can cut the leaves in a pattern. 

Here's a picture.

New Market

On Thursday New Market came to our class to cut some Harakeke and take it to their school, and use it for matariki. I met new friends like Lucy she was really cute. After discussing what we were going to do. We went to the Harakeke garden. While the teachers were cutting the leaves we had to go and take the leaves and put them on a mat. Some of us cut the leaves. On morning tea we played with the New Market people. After the bell rang the room 15 sang a song to the New Market people.

E.O.T.C Week Lost in the Bushes

People were singing in the bus . I was sitting there quite annoyed talking to my friend Masiha. We were heading towards Piha for a bush walk with the kauri team because it was E.O.T.C week. I was feeling happy and excited at the same time, but I also felt a bit worried because I thought we might get lost. I left that thought behind and decided to think positive and not negative. We walked and walked until we found the waterfall. Amazing I thought it was a mind blowing view and I couldn't take my eyes of it. I kneeled down to feel the water. Cold, that’s it cold. It was as cold as Antarctica. I dipped my feet and the coldness tickled my feet so I took it out of the water. There were lots and lots of rocks forming a ground, and in between those rocks were some mucky icky green stuff. We started to move on and room fifteen had to go last… bummer. When we were walking some people had split up because some were walking too slow and the others were walking faster. They had disappeared out of our sight and I got bit worried. Then I thought “why bother worrying we had Miss Haydon.” We had got lost. It was only 12 people left and they were, me, Masiha, Miss Haydon, Alisi, Shireen, Janet, Masiha's mum and dad, Nabila’s mum,Andrea, Kevin and a parent. We walked a bit faster this time to catch up with the others but they had long gone. But good thing that one of the parent knew the way to get out of the bush. Suddenly Masiha’s mum slowed down so Masiha’s dad went to walk with them, but they were to slow and we lost them. We had realized that when we came to a sign that said “HOME 40 MINUTES”. Masiha was really worried but Andrea and Kevin stayed behind to wait for them, and we kept going and followed the track. I got really scared we might get lost and I kept slipping and hurting myself. I slowed down a bit and Miss Haydon and the two boys and shireen were way ahead of us. I thought I lost Miss Haydon but Janet came by me and said we’ll walk together. We had found Miss Haydon and the others, and this time I decided to walk bit faster. I felt so proud at the end we had found our way back and Miss Haydon was right that “When you look back at this you’re going to smile”. And I did smile. I couldn't wait to tell my mum about what had happened “Phew” I thought, we hadn't missed the bus or we might have had to wait for another 20 minutes for it to come back. And that was the end of our long and frightening journey of being Lost on The Bush Walk!

My Best Writing

Here is my best piece of writing . It is about a squirrel being chased by a eagle.

AAHHH sun’s shining birds singing, it would be a great day hunting for some delicious nuts. The leaves were all falling golden red and crispy, lovely. Wonder if there are little nuts hiding in the big piles of leaves. Found one. Suddenly I saw two big black beady eyes, or was it eyes, I just don’t know. Yep it definitely was two big black beady eyes. BOOM It was flying know. I couldn't believe my eyes it was, it was a big scary owl. My heart started thudding against my chest. I ran as fast as my cute chubby feet could carry me. I Found safety, in a very uncomfortable nest,at least I was safe. I went in and waited and waited, until it seemed like a million hours , I was just exaggerating. All of a sudden The tree began to shake. Oh no It was a earthquake. No I'm too young to die, I sobbed.

There was some good news and bad news. So the good news was It wasn't an earthquake, Then I guess I will still live, hooray. But the bad news was It was the eagle shaking the nest, and I would get eaten, bummer. BOOM I fell. Is that heaven. Nope it was just the sky, it was so bright, anyway’s at least I lived. I should have a party after this, if I live. Then the chase was on again. I spotted a hole. I ran inside. It was a old hollow tree. HA HA HA that big fat eagle couldn't fit in the hole. I guess I will be having a party after all. Lucky me.

Book Week 2016

On Friday can you guess what it was? Here's some clues. We had to dress up and it had something to do with books. If you thought book week you were right. We had a whole week with fun activities. like finding the olafs pictures around the library, spot the difference and more.
And on Friday we had a big book week assembly. We could dress up and I dressed up as a witch, I was a character from the Wizard Of Oz. My best friend Honey was Minnie Mouse and Masiha was Draculuar from Monster High.
