My birthday school trip to Spencer Park

On my birthday, Friday the 10th of March, Ako Ngatahi went to Spencer park. I was in group 4 n with Miss Scott and Whaea Heather. We got on the bus at about 9:15. The bus ride was noisy as everyone was excited. I sat next to my best friend Quaid on the bus.

When we go to Spencer park we played on the playground for 10 minutes. Then we started walking to the beach. At the beach we collected sea treasures. I got a lot of things. We were allowed by the water. I almost got a crab but I did get a star fish. For the sea treasure I got sticks and shells.

We then went on a big Lagoon walk. At the end of the Lagoon walk there was a bird hideout. Under the bird hide out there was a little tunnel.  

Then we got back and had lunch. Then we had a big play for like an hour. We all had fruit.

Lastly we got on the bus and arrived back at school. I learnt the white things in the bushes were spider nests. They build them to protect their babies until they grow up.  

The present

In the past weeks our class (Ako Ngatahi) were writing a short story about a video titled “The Present”. It was a story about a boy who got a present and it was a puppy. After he discovered that the puppy only had three legs.

Here is the video.

“The Present”

W.A.L.T: Write a narrative

Success Criteria

I know I will be successful when….

• The title is suitable for the text.

• The orientation tells who the story is about, and when and where the story happened.
• The complication describes a problem and explains what happened next.
• The resolution explains how the problem was solved.

The present

I was playing video games on my xbox 360 when my mum came in and gave me a box. I opened the present. There was a puppy. Wow, I thought. But then I saw it had 3 legs. “Get lost” I said.
I was annoyed that my mum got me a puppy that had 3 legs just because I was missing part of my leg! It was creamy brown and white but it only had 3 legs and I had 1 leg.   

The dog did a silly thing. So I kicked it. Then it was being silly. How could I not love the puppy? It was being silly. So I started to like it, but I was playing video games again. After a while of him trying to play with me I decided to go outside with him. So I said “I’ll be outside mum.” Then I went and played outside with the puppy. I hope we are best friends forever! I wish I was never mean to the puppy. I think the puppy loves me.

The End

Cyber Smarts DLO

On Thursday we went to the High School and someone called John Parsons. He  is an expert on Cyber Smart. It went for along time we watched a video about a girl who put her school name and gmail online. We learnt to never share your personnel information and ask to put someone online first but if it is in the public then you don't have to ask. It was really interesting.
