Diary Entries 

Hi, my brother Tame wants to move to Auckland but I don’t want to. I was in my room and Tame was downstairs. I heard him begging my parents to move and they kept saying no. I don’t want him to move to Auckland because that means I can’t see him anymore. Soon they were thinking of moving Tame to Auckland, if they said yes then that means I can’t see him so I thought of moving to Auckland with him.  

 

 

I live with 7 people, that is a lot of people right. With that many people it’s really expensive when you go to dinner because there’s a lot of food for each person.There is also this new kid that is in my class, his name is Barry and we’re basically friends now. I play tag with him at lunch and it’s always really fun with him. When we play tag him and I don’t like wearing shoes because it’s better running with them because you’re faster so me and him like chucking our shoes together. 

 

 

Something me and my boys like to do before school is to race to school and jump over the fence. We sprinted through vegetable patches and so many other things. 

Tame would complain and say we should be careful of what we do but my friends and I didn’t care, we just wanted to have fun. 

 

 

My family decided that they wanted to return to the farm. I was really excited since I haven’t been there. The first thing I wanted to do was look at all the animals. First I saw some pigs sheeps and some cows but while I was looking at the animals I started to think of Tame because I remembered that he loves to look at animals and play with them. I started to actually miss tame because he had moved out to Auckland and he wasn’t there with us. 

 

Community Reflection Vid

Hey everyone This weeks Inquiry task is a review vid of what we did in the past weeks about making a positive difference in my communities. For this task we had to create a video about how we can use our voices and action to help grow our community. So sit back relax and enjoy watching your favourite person say all kinds of things about her communities and how to grow one of your communities.

Speech

Last week I said a speech to my literacy class. My speech was about discrimination. I started writing this in week 6 and presented it in week 8. the way we did it was everyone’s names on the wheel of names and whoever’s name it lands on is the person that goes up to present their own speech. days before speeches, we watched some videos of other people doing speeches and how they did so we can have ideas of how we can deliver it. everyone that does their speech gets a rubric of how they went and a score of how good they went. It was out of 24 and I got 22 so I was really proud of myself.

Positive Difference

Hello everyone Today I will be talking about what I did yesterday to make a positive Difference. The first thing we did was sit in the street to talk about what we were going to do and what were the boundaries of what we couldn’t do. what we actually was doing was cleaning up point England reserve and In Front of pt england school. everyone was given one glove to pick up the rubbish so our hands don’t get dirty. one person had to hold a trash bag for all the rubbish to go into. before we went, we were put into groups of 4. My group was with Isabella, Michael, Shwe Shwe and then me. there was two teachers, Miss Davis and Miss Tele’a, so to make the experience faster we were split in half but in in our groups. when we went in front of pt England there was actually not much rubbish so we moved to pt england beach quickly. On the way to the reserve there was actually more rubbish then In Front of pt england. when we were at the reserve we found a lot of rubbish and the reason for that is littering. we picked up rubbish around the trees, on the sand, and on the grass. when we were in the sand there was so much rubbish more than anywhere else we went.

when we were picking up rubbish I was the one holding the bag and it was also very windy so when I tried opening the bag it wouldn’t open because of how hard the wind was.

Highlight:  something good was, how much cleaner the place was and it looked a lot better then before.
