SLJ Week 1 Day 3 Nine siblings

       I would not like to have nine siblings because of these reasons

• If I have a lot of siblings then no chance to get play station.

•  It would be hard work for parents and stress them out.

• In a large family it is hard to do what you want.

• My last reason is parents would have no time for all and also for themselves so they would get really tired everyday.

To: Max

Dear Max I was traveling from my home land to New Zealand on my waka and I would like to tell you about my story. Firstly I was really very scared and nervous to leave my home but I did it. On my way I was really excited and enjoyed because I saw dolphins jumping and flipping. The water was very clear but the tide was very rough but when I were close to New Zealand the tide calmed down. I also did some fishing and I caught lots of tuna and salmon with my fishing net. My favourite part about my trip was fishing seeing the dolphins jumping. You should also try this one day.

language week

This week is Niuean language week and we celebrate a lot of other languages during the year.

Why do we celebrate language week?

We celebrate language so we don’t forget our languages and where we come from. We also celebrate it because it's important to know our language and the history of our families. If we don’t speak our languages they might die out or we might forget them. Then children could forget who they are and what language their parents speak.

So that is why we should always remember our language and know where we come from.

Santa And His Ripped Head

                 Santa And His Ripped Head

Last week on Sunday, Santa came to my house to play with me. We had lots of fun. Santa came in his sleigh with his 8 reindeers and they were all very friendly.

The first place we visited using santa's sleigh was the candy farm. When we got there we ate lots of chocolate and lollipops and they tasted sweet like honey. When I ate the chocolate it melted in my mouth with joy. Then after eating all those sweets santa got FATTER, His face grew more round, his stomach grew out of his shirt and his pants ripped. I asked him if he was okay and he just replied “Ho Ho Ho”.   

Then later on after 10 minutes he said to me “let's go to the mythical creature zoo”.

I told him “there's no place like that!!”

He said “hop into my sleigh and I’ll show you.”

So I said “okay”.  On our way I saw lots of lovely pets and animals on the ground.

When we got there he said “let's go see the reindeers”.
I said no “I want to go see the dragons.”

He said “okay”, so we walked to the dragon cages. The dragons were a bit crazy and acting really funny.

Suddenly, one of the dragons broke out of its cage and flew towards santa. The dragon Grabbed him by the torso and ripped his head off and all the lollies burst out from his stomach.

I got scared and ran to santa's sleigh I didn’t know how to work it so I just  leaned over the sleigh and slapped one of the reindeers karate chopped the reinders butt and then it alerted the other reindeers and they flew off freaking out.

I didn't know how to land it so I looked around for a parachute. When I found one under the seat I saw the candy farm and jumped off the sleigh and pulled the parachute.I landed on a big pile of  candy. Then finally I  ran back home hoping I was not on santa's naughty list for stealing his sleigh.

I had lots of fun with santa, I also got very scared when the dragon ripped of his head.

I recommend this story from 10-25

Bush Craft

Bush Craft

On the 21st August 2017, Year 7 & 8 students had a wonderful opportunity to do bushcraft at Russell, in the Bay of Island New Zealand with our instructor, named Sarah. This was part of Glenbrae School’s camp.

The first thing we did was, we learned how to tie knots. We learnt the Q and P knot, churkers knot and the double knot. We all  practiced until we felt competent with it. After all that hard work we put it to the test. We got a set of tarpaulin, ropes and pegs. First we found two trees to tie our ropes around. We did a churker's knot and then we grabbed the other end of the rope and went under the tarpaulin. When we got to the other side we tied it to the tree. This was helpful for us so we knew how to put up a tent for when we slept in the bush.  

Later on, Sarah taught us how to make a fire. She said to gather as much wood as we could and then bring it back. So we did. When we came back we made a small hole in the ground and put some sticks in a cross formation. Then we put a bunch of dead twigs in the middle and then set it alight with matches. We boiled some water in a billy over the fire and it didn't take long.

It was a great experience I had a lot of fun and I would use life skill when I am older.

Matariki

What is Matariki

What is Matariki? Matariki is Maori name for the star cluster or pleiades and it is maori new year. Other cultures celebrate it like Samoa Tonga and Hawaii.

Why we celebrate Matariki? We celebrate Matariki because this is the Maori new year in matariki you can see seven stars known as the seven sisters there are more stars than seven but the naked eye can only see 7.

What they eat? They eat seafood birds seals and other seafood they also get together as a family and have a big feast with all the food they gather.

Technology

In Technology this what I made. It was a pattern I carved out painted green and then put it on piece of paper so I could put it threw a machine so it would get printed on paper.     

Writing

What is school? School is a place we we come to learn to get skills and to work with other people. All around the world there are schools. You start school when you are 5 then from five you become older as you become older you go thru puberty and then you learn what changes in your body.  

What happens in school? In school we learn Maths, we do Reading Writing, PB4L and topic studies. Some schools do the same thing every day some don’t. In school they have values like respect others learning property and the environment .

Why we need to go to school? We need to go to school to learn so we could get a better education. How? Well we have to come to school everyday and if we don't come to school everyday we will miss out on our learning. If you come to school everyday you get a good job more money so you could have a good future.
