My long trip to Napier!

On Friday the 4th of June I had to miss school because I was going to Napier. I was going to Napier with some of my church and youth and also my Nana. We went for long weekend. The reason why we were going to Napier was because we got invited to do a youth rally there. We went by bus and it took us 8 hours to get there so we got there at about 2pm.

Finally we got there and we got shown where we were going to sleep. We slept in a Marae and when we got in there we saw that half of the Marae had got taken up. I had to get me and my Nana's beds ready for tonight. As soon as we finished getting our beds set we rested and the we found out that we had an opening church at 6pm. All of us ran to have a shower and got ready. Suddenly we received a black bag with a badge saying Keep Moving Forward. It was time for the opening and we all went to the opening and that went on for 3 and a half hours.

Church was finished and we all had to eat our dinner in the kitchen and the foam plates had barbecue in it and it was scrumptious. It was time to go to sleep and tomorrow was another long day!!!

My Koru art.

This picture that I am holding is called my Kowhaiwhai. As you can see my Kowhaiwhai represents my loving and caring family. We were only allowed to use 4 colors and as you can see I have used bright colors like, red, purple, orange and yellow. It took me are very long time to decide where my colors were going to go but I managed. I don't know how long it took me but I know that it was fun and exciting. I hope you like my picture.

Active Earth.

This year our topic is called Active Earth. What we had to do was do a animation about Active Earth. Each group had to do something different and I had to show how are Volcano is formed and this is how.

Tamaki College.

On Friday Mr Borland from Tamaki College kindly invited Room17 to the Tamaki College gym where we did P.E.

The first game we played was called ''Waka''. There were 4 wakas and what we had to do was get all 4 wakas from one side to the other. Our strategy was to walk on the wakas and there always had to be one waka. We had to keep on passing the wakas along. The tricky part was that we weren't allowed to fall or the whole class will have to start again. It was the best day ever.

Active Earth.

This term's topic is Active earth. We are learning about Volcanoes,Earthquakes and Tsunamis.

I have already learnt that inside a volcano is not lava it is magma and inside a volcano is a magma chamber and the magma chamber holds up all of the magma inside. When the volcano is about to erupt the magma shoots up very fast and then the volcano explode. The magma is then called lava, which is very hot.

What I'm really looking forward to this term is getting to know lots more of information about Volcanoes, Earthquakes and Tsunamis.

Here is my celebration animation.
