Maraia - Stella's Birthday Party Recount

 Stella's Birthday Party Recount

On the 21st of July, It was my friend Stella's birthday and she had invited me to her birthday party and she said that she was going to pick me up at 10:30. So on the 21st of July, my mum woke me up but I was super tired because the night before I was on my mum’s phone and I totally lost track of time and when I checked the time it was 02:45 am, and so I got a bit worried because they were coming early so I watched one more video and then went to sleep. In the morning my mum woke me up at 8:00 and I was still tired so I crawled back into bed but then she caught me sleeping and she told me to go shower. She put shampoo and conditioner into my hair to make it nice and soft. After I showered and got changed and then I had breakfast, for my breakfast I had Milo and some crackers and then I got my hair done and I packed Stella’s gift. I got her a bag and in the bag, there was a bunch of sweets and candy along with an angry bird's pillow. After a few minutes Stella and her mum arrived and so I gave her a present and she said “thank you” and then she introduced me to her friend from G.I. School and her name was Ty.  After we had talked we drove down to a rock climbing center. When we got there we had to get our wristbands and then we had to take a little safety lesson and what to do before we climbed and after we climbed the walls. After about an hour we went into the playland and played tag for a long time. While we left the playland we noticed that we didn’t see the sign that said 8yrs and younger and we got a big shock. Then we went down to mission bay to an American store and it was old-school themed. It had Elvis and Marilyn Monroe. We all ordered Chocolate milkshakes with hotdogs. I could not finish mine so I ate most of it and when I had a little bit I shoved it in my mouth and then we left. Then we ran back to the car and went to the park and climbed trees while Stella’s Mum had a nap in her car. After around 30 minutes Stella's mum came and got us and then we spent the rest of the day at Stella’s house. First, we watched “Pitch Perfect 2” then we just played on the trampoline she had and her rollerblades. Then Stella’s Dad dropped me and Ty back at home.

Maraia - Our Sailing trip - Volvo Sailing Have A Go

 Our Sailing trip - Volvo Sailing Have A Go 

Last week on Thursday TWP 4 and Mr gaffneys Yr 5s went sailing. For sailing we had to come to school in mufti with our swimming clothes underneath. When we got there we had to sit by the boat on the chairs then after a few minutes we were aloud to play or eat I decided to go and play banana split.

After a little while the Yr 5s got into the boats the Yr 6s had to go second, so while we where waiting our Teacher Mrs Nees Kirua took us to the beach. It was a minute walk or less but while we were walking my friend Aston hit my head so I chased him and slapped his head and we kept on doing that to each other until we got to the beach. When we got closer to the beach I ran ahead and we for the water, but we couldn't go in because we were still in our clothes so I rolled my pants up  because our teacher said we can only go up to our knees.

After a little while we went back to the dock and played games. Then the Yr 5s came back to shore and got changed into their normal clothes.

Later we went to get into out life jackets and then we had to go into the water. After a little while we had a race but I didn't know what to do to control the sail. Then an hour later one of the instuctours came on a speed boat and threw out plastic play balls and we had to get as many as we could, whenever me and Melenaite (my partner) saw a ball we went to it and I leaned over the boat and got the ball. Later on there were no more balls so we counted our and we got 18 the after a few seconds someones boat fell over then if started to get cold so I jumped in to water so I could get warm and then I saw the balls that fell out of the boat that got tipped over and I swan towards it a got some so we then had 21 balls.

We then we back to shore but when we went back to shore the same boat tipped over so we left them and another instructor called Holly came and helped them.

Then we all got change and went back to school.

Maraia - Ngā kare ā-roto me ngā āhau - Feelings and states

 Ngā kare ā-roto me ngā āhau - Feelings and states.

WALT: express how we're feeling in te reo Māori 

Today in TWP 4 we did some learning about Te Reo Maori Feelings and states.

For this activity we had to take a picture of ourselves and 5 other people and we had to say Kei te pehea koe and the had to respond with Kei tei (something) ahau.

After we put into  a google drawing we had to screencastify with their voices .  Doing the screencastify took over 10 tries because someone had forgotten their lines or they didn't know how to pronounce the word in maori but overall I think it turned out great-ish. 

Check out my work and video!

The people who were in the video are Ana,Mele,Moala,Melenaite and Briana

Jesus entered Jerusalem on a donkey, 50 days before Ascension

On Thursday of the week that followed Palm Sunday, Jesus had his last meal with his apostles.

The day after his last supper Jesus was put to death on a cross on Calvary Hill.

Jesus lay in a tomb for 3 days and then God raised him up.

After his resurrection Jesus showed himself to his friends and some of them did not recognise him.

He spent time with his apostles and told them he was going to return to his Father.

50 days after Palm Sunday Jesus was taken by God to share his glory in heaven.

Because Jesus entered heaven in glory he made it possible for his followers to do the same.
