HOW OLD PEOPLE ARE IN MY CLASS

Guided Inquiy

On Thursday 8 of May 2014, Room 7 students joined our school to view the inquiry presentations of classes around the school.

Our first class to visit was Room 1. Mrs Greenham and her class presented their art work of bird sketches and we also had a worksheet to complete. It was a good chance to find out about the learning of Room 1. When the bell rang we had to move to the next room which was Mrs Ripata’s room.

Mrs Ripata and her students created a power point for us to watch and read. It was about the native plants of New Zealand. The next room we visited was Mrs Kumar’s room and she kept us busy by making us do a obstacle course, making bugs using lollies and also doing an online quiz. The lolly part was fun because we got to eat our bugs.

In the senior block, we went to room 10 first and they taught us about first aid and what to do when we are going camping. I learnt we must tell someone where we are going and how long we will go for.

The inquiry presentations were fun but ours was good too because we had our own camping tents inside the classroom.

In the weekend it was Labour weekend so on Friday after school we stayed at home and we cleaned our house then at night our cousin came to our house and we watched a movie called Hercules and it was a funny movie then we watched a movie called Escape plan and it was a nice movie because they like going to jail but they can escape so easy.

On Saturday in the morning, we went to our church and we cleaned up the church with other people from our church and we used a vacuum,sprays,machetes to cut the long grass next to the church then when we finished our bishop called a truck and the truck had a big rubbish collector and we put all the long grass in to it.It went and took it to the place where they put all the grass.

On Sunday in the morning we woke up and we got ready for church. We wear black pants for the men and the boys and we were a white long sleeved shirt and we were black shoes but for the girl the could wear anything.When we went in to the church we went and we sat on a long chair the the bishop went up and he talked to us in Samoan language then when we finished we went to our classrooms and my teacher’s name is Sister Fatupaito and she teaches us every Sunday and her husband is the bishop.

On Monday in the morning and we got ready to go to the beach and also we went fishing. When we got in the car we were very happy because this was our first time going fishing and when we got there we saw our cousin and they were the ones who brought the fishing lines but we had to wait because my dad went to get some bait then when he came back we went to where people were fishing the we set up the fishing lines and we but on the bait then my dad throw the line and then we waited until we caught a fish but we court nothing so we went back because the tide was going out so we went to get lunch then we went home but is was very nice going to the beach.

Hansel and gartel

Once upon a time there was a very bad witch that steals little kids.There were three little kids that went to the shop.

Last night  the witch was there too, she was waiting for a little kid so she could get them.Then she saw three little kids. They went in  the shop and  then they came back out.When they were walking back to their house the witch was following them.She almost caught them but they got home in time.

The next day the witch went to the house and she was waiting for the little kids that she saw.

Planet Earth

Planet Earth is one of the planets in the  solar system.It has human beings,living things and non-living things.If you zoom into

planet Earth you will see many things,like animals and human beings.

But in Earth there’s some obstacles you may need to overcome,like

dangerous animals and of course robbers.

But the one thing you need to worry about is “dying.”Dying is common

in planet Earth but you have to find a way to prevent and avoid it like

if a robber comes to you and attacks you,you need defend yourself or you will die.

But in planet Earth it has a lot of countries and 4 continents and it also has different people from different countries who have their own beliefs,foods,religions and cultures.Planet Earth has different

kind of trees,food and many animal and human species.

In planet Earth there are rocket ships,space ships and a lot of technology which is taking the Earth on a journey and changing it.

The things that damage it are earthquakes,tornados,famines,

sand storms and typhoons and more disasters that damage it

but human beings prevent that.

Some countries like Russia cause a lot of problems to Ukraine

a lot of times by calling Ukraines for a war but Ukraines do nothing

even to call their friendly countries like Germany and France and Italy.The problems in the Earth are polluting the sea and land by

throwing garbage in the sea and land.The End
