The things i learned this week   on Wednesday on release team i learned about birds and we had to find if the bird was endangered  or not endangered and it wasn’t endangered and we had to find where 

You can find them and you can find them in. and with Kathy we did a quiz  like what is the Maori word for river and stuff but it got harder.  And yesterday on Thursday i learned how to make a fruit salad and how to cut fruit properly it was really hard and  we had to make sure it was cut properly and perfect than we putty some passion fruit  stuff on it and we learned if you put lemon juice on apple and banana it wont go brown throughout the day  

and it actually made it taste better  and i dropped  it so i had to pick it up and put it back in  the cup but it was really refreshing and i actually enjoyed it.  and today 25th of July 2025  I did a post test and I kinda learned it because after it I got the score and I knew what was right and what was wrong. and yeah in really enjoyed tech and I kinda got told of by the teacher because my group wasn’t cleaning up so I had to do it and also after tech I taught the tena poi and I found that really challenging  and we had to keep repeating and repeating it was so hard to teach the tena because they didn’t know how to and that was my  most challenging thing ever.

On February the   year ⅞ went to spencer park for camp we  had to walk 9km-9000m we went up this tall mountain thing and parst a beach and i really wanted to just run up to it and jump in it and i was really hot and than we keep stopping! It was really not my thing and i didnt want to take my gersey of because i didn’t have a very nice T-shirt than sera stella’s mum asked me if i would like her to put my gersey into her pram and i said yes please and than we got back to walking than when we finally got there after a hour or 2  i finally sour it and than i tried to run but i couldn’t because my feet and legs were to sour 

Than when we got to the part ner the playing area we sat down and had a rest than 

We got back up and started walking again than when we got there we talked about what we can and can’t do than we seated up this big thing and it took maybe an hour than we put sides down for privacy than we put a carpet down and than a person’s mum  offered us a tent it was very small but better than nothing and i had to go with tyga-leah but i guess eagles i got to go  than we had noodles for dinner and steamed pudding for pudding and at night we went to play predator and after a little bit it was really dark and foggy it was really creepy and then we went to sleep at 10 but it was really windy so i couldn’t go to sleep and than in the  morning we went to adrenalin forest and it was so fun but it hearted me because the flying fox was so high than we went home in a school van.

One thing I really enjoyed this week was reading because it was really fun and interesting and it was really nice to read something and it was easy as well. A challenge I faced this week was maths because it was a little bit confusing and weird. It was a little hard at first but I got used to it.

Something I felt proud of this week is…I completed my work and did a lot of writing about the patu and I had a lot more than some other people. I hope we can do a lot more about the patu and reading.

Next week, I want to get better at Writing because i am still bad at writing and I want to be able to be a good writer because i like writing but my writing is bad also writing makes me happy and focused i really like it so i hope i am better next year

If I could change one thing about this week, it would be Math’s because it is sometimes really hard and confusing so I want to change it to not be confusing and tiring and I am not good at it and I do not finish so I’m stuck inside.

I have writen somethings that I am proud of about school

I am proud of my hand writing and reading because I am better at wrighting and reading  than last year

I have accomplished wrighting reading and I am proud of it because I have done a better job than last year

I am most proud of when I accomplished  reading and wrighting.

celebration is when you celebrate something but  we don’t celebrate Anzac day because that’s rude because Anzac day is the day people died and perfected are land so were really lucky to have are land if it was for them than we would to have to fight for are land back like the moari but luckily we won.

Here are my reflections for my second week at kura

My favourite celebrations are Christmas, birthdays and New Years.  What celebration means to me

Celebration means you celebrate like Christmas or like someones birthday.  Some people even celebrate  houses and schools.  All sorts of stuff people  celebrate,  stuff like  the New Years , Christmas is a celebration of new years its supposed to be the day Jesus was born. We celebrate the day you were born.  A celebration is when you celebrate things like Christmas and birthdays and also Matariki.

On Friday 25/ 10/ 24  we did Athletics and  we had to sit down and wait and wait it was so boring. I was getting so hot it felt was like burning it was also  a little hard and  gives you better health and strength and you can get better at it i was just boring and we had to do relays and than  2 laps around the bike track the bike track was really hot we did it outside to  and then we did high jump it was in the hole   it was hot in there because it was really hot outside 

We also did discus it was boring and it was taking ages to have a turn. I was sitting there for ages and I almost quit  because of how boring it was. Then we did long jump and that was so fun but the thing was that it took ages to have a turn  and it was a bit hard to  jump over it because it was to high but i got over the first one because it was so lo 

Next we did something like shot put but it was better and i don’t no the name but i was way better than discus but i was still boring it was just better than discus  we had to wait ages to and it  a little annoyed me because i couldn’t get it far enough and i wanted to throw again but i couldn’t because it was taking to long and than we finally had finished the end

In conclusion athletics day was hot and boring but I still had fun and next year I will try harder.

This Morning My class and I learned how to write a Bio poem which is a poem that relates to you. In it we describe parts of ourselves and our hopes and dreams for the future.

Thanks for reading my Bio poem ⬆

This Team We Have Been Learning About Shapes while doing an activity called Geometrocity.   We made a city  with  the shapes  and roads car parks  and  skyscraper  restaurant  and we made roads connecting with different city’s  and It was cool. I really liked it  I would love  it if we could carry on doing it.  I think it was  fun because it was like drawing but  actually work and it was also fun because we could connect the roads to the cities.
