Leighton house

Hi me and my class went to Leighton house for two hours because we had a student volunteer army project. I was so frustrated by the length of time it took to organise this trip because we all had a job to do. My job was the caterer. So I made burgers for my class.  

We brought games to go and play with old people. We also brought our ukuleles to play some songs to the old people. It was fascinating to learn about there life and about their stories from the past.  Somebody was 99 years old. And there was some one called Noel, he turned 90 the day before we came.

As I have all ready said I was the caterer. We had to do it the next day because we needed to finish Athletics. I was in a dream by the taste of the burgers. IT WAS AMAZING.

The Marae

Hi i'm Te Atawhai.  We went to Te poho o Rawiri to stay the night.  It was like a bomb went off when I was trying to go to sleep.  Lola liced a loll pop.  Just kidding that was a joke.  The kids were so loud  it was louder then me screaming.      Ayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  And that is loud.  These are some pictures of some kids that went too and some rotashtones that we did.

This is my school almost ready to go to sleep. 

And we played with the rope.

Aad we also did weaving.   I think it was terrific.

An edible explosion!!!

An edible explosion!!!


Hi, I am Te Atawhai.  I'm in room 4.  Today we did an explosion with chemicals, but they were edible so we could eat it.  Our teacher told use we were going to make sherbet.  This is what you will need. 

A paper bag, spoons, citric acid, baking soda, flavouring and icing sugar. You can put the ingredients in any order you like.  I did this experiment with Lola and Charlotte.  It was so much fun.  When I put the spoon into my mouth it exploded, it felt like I was going throw up but I didn't.  It fizzed so much it was crazy.  Some people went outside.  My friend Neve even went to the toilet because she wanted to throw up. 

The End 

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

This week we were learning about speech marks and dialogue

so I wrote a story.

''Hi mum!" I exclaimed in delight.  ''We are going to Drama now Te Atawhai.'' Mum said.

As we turned up at the place where I practiced, I got so excited to go to Drama. ''Bye.'' Mum said.

''Hi Mikala.'' I said to my friend. We had made up a routine for our sword fight. I also said hi to my friend Piper. Me, Mikala and Piper made the routine because they share a part in the play.  

My Hauora cube

       My Hauora cube 

Hi I am Te Atawhai. I am in room 4.  Recently I have been learning how to make a 3D cube . 

I made my cube 9cm wide and the same in length. It was hard to do all of the measurements.

  I new I was successful because it looks like a 3D cube.  I enjoyed it though a lot.

 This is a photo of it.

Haiku art

Hi I am Te Atawhai.  In term 2 I did some Haiku art about matariki.  I did my haiku art about a maori legend.  It was difficult to draw the faces of the  people.  I drew a man and a women.  I learnt that other countries have  different aspects of matariki . This is what I wrote

 As they did there hair. 
The sound of beautiful noise, 
They could not resist. 

I know I was successful because I had 5 syllables the start.  

7 at the middle and 5 at the end.

I think i did a good picher.

Tell me if you think it is good in the comments.
