If I had 9 siblings...

If I had 9 siblings...

If I had 9 siblings I wouldn't like it because I would have to share lots of things. If I wanted to go on a thing on TV and all my other siblings wanted to go on something else, I would be outvoted. Also, it would be very loud, day and night. 

If I was the oldest of 10 children, I would like it a bit more because, well, I would be the oldest. Also, I would get to push them around a bit. It would also be bad because I would have to babysit them when our parents went out.

If I was the youngest, I would HATE it. I would get pushed around and teased, and I would probably get all the blame. But I would probably get all the attention from Mum and Dad. 
Good attention and bad


And that's my having 9 siblings.

2 similar things about our homes now and wharepuni are: They both have a roof to cover the inside and they both have at least 1 or 2 windows.

2 different things about our homes now and wharepuni are: wharepuni's roofs are lower and our houses have an actual door, not just an opening.

Setting sail

Dear readers,

I am sending my letter to you to tell you about my travels to New Zealand. 
I was really scared as we left our home in Polynesia. Our destination was miles away but we kept on going. 
We traveled in a sizeable boat called a waka. I traveled with 5 other people and we all were scared but as we approached our new home we saw how beautiful it was and we lightened up a bit. 
Now we love the new land we live in.

Sincerely, your friend, Miro.

THREE FACTS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MAUI AND THE FISH

THREE FACTS THAT I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT MAUI AND THE FISH

Today we read about Maui's fish. Here are three interesting facts I discovered about Maui.

1. I didn't know that Maui's grandmother's name was Murirangawhenua.

2. The North Island is Maui's great fish and the South Island is the waka.

3. If the legend is true, lots of people will be living on a huge fish.

My Tech Famine Reflection

My Tech Famine Reflection

On Monday, our whole school had a tech famine. It started at 9.am and ended at 9.pm. We weren't allowed to us tech at home or at school. At home, my sister Rewa an I started making a hat. We also played lots of games like Chinese checkers, chatter rings and Mastermind. We also jumped on our trampoline and practiced our flips and handsprings.

The reason we did the tech famine was so that we could actually get outside and experience other fun things other than technology and Chromebooks.

My Holiday

During my Holiday I went up to Cheeseman ski field. And no. It is not made of cheese. We stayed at a ski week which is where you stay at snowline lodge and ski for the whole week without having to pay. I went down Cockayne valley 4 times. The first 2 times I faceplanted but the other 2 times, I skied down easily. I also went down A-basin and now I know never to go down there again.

What we did for Matariki

We have been learning about Matariki. We have done it in Writing, Art, Maths, Matariki, Cybersmart, Literacy and in Roleplays. My favourite learning so far has been making stars for Art and Maths, because they were combined.  I also loved the Roleplays. My group was a bit silly but we all had fun in the end. For Literacy, we just read books about space so it was a bit boring and for writing, we created storyboards about a Matariki book that we read. For Cybersmart, your looking at it right now!!
